Objective To investigate the immunologic classification in the patients with acute leukemia (AL) in Xinjiang of China. Methods A panel of monoclonal antibodies (MOAb) and indirect immunofluorescence assay by fluoromicroscope was used to determine the pretherapy immunophenotype of 450 AL. Results 106 cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), 334 cases of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), and 10 cases belonged to FAB unclassified acute leukemia (UAL) were unalysed. The expression of myeloid antigens in of ALL was seen in 15 % of 106 cases, and lymphoid-associated antigens were expressed in 25 % of 334 AML cases. The most frequently expressed antigen was CD7. The expression of myeloperoxidase (MPO) gene in 295 cases of AL were studied. The expression of MPO gene was observed in positive one of 81 ALL cases, and myeloid cells had different expression for MPO gene. Of the 9 cases of UAL, 6 cases were positive for MPO gene. There were no statistic differences of the expressions of the ALL stages between Han and Wei nationality. The order of myeloid markers expression in AML was as follows: CD_(33)>CD_(13)>CD_(15) inthe Han nationality, and the order of myeloid markers expression in AML was displayed CD(15)>CD(33)>CD_(14) in Wei nationality. Conclusion Analysis of immunophenotype assured accurate lineage diagnosis of AL. Combinatively analyzing the characteristics of AL on morphology, cytochemistry, immunology and MPO mRNA expressions were significant to the diagnosis and therapy of AL.

Objective To explore the clinical outcome of HLA haploidentical vs HLA-matcbed peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) without in vitro T-cell depletion for malignant hematological diseases. Methods 111 patients with malignant hematological diseases underwent PBSCT without in vitro T-cell depletion between May 2004 and February 2009, including 51 patients with HLA-haploidentical and 60 patients with HLA-matched. All patients have received myeloablative conditioning regimen. A two-agent based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis was used as cyclosporine A and a short course of methotrexate. Mycophenolate mofetile was added for the patients with one locus mismatch. Mycophenolate mofetile, antithymocyte globulin and CD25 monoclonal antibody were added for the patients with 2-3 loci mismatch. The grafts were granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-mobilized peripheral blood stem cells without in vitro T-cell depletion. Results 111 patients achieved sustained and full donor-type engraftment. The median time to reach an absolute neutrophil count above 0.5×10~9/L was 14 days and that to a platelet count exceeding 20×10~9/L was 15 days in 51 HLA-haploidentical patients, and that was 12 days and 13 days in 60 HLA-matched patients, respectively. In 51 HLA-haploidentical patients, 25 patients developed aGVHD, including 20 cases of grade Ⅰ aGVHD, and 5 cases of grade Ⅱ. Thirty-three patients developed cGVHD with limited in 30 and extensive in 3. The 4-year cumulative incidence of cGVHD was 70.4 %. The 3-year probabilities of leukemia-free survival (LFS) were 74.5% (77.3 % for standard risk patients and 68.2 % for high risk patients respectively). Seven patients had recurrence. In 60 HLA-matched patients, 14 patients developed aGVHD, including 10 cases of grade Ⅰ, 2 cases of grade Ⅱ and 2 cases of grade Ⅲ. Thirty-seven patients developed cGVHD with limited in 32 and extensive in 5. The 4-year cumulative incidence of cGVHD was 58.1%. The 3-year probabilities of LFS were 72.1% (77.6 % for standard risk patients and 52.7 % for high risk patients respectively). Ten patients had recurrence. The incidence of aGVHD in HLA-haploidentical cohort was significantly higher than in HLA-matched cohort (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in incidence of cGVHD, incidence of relapse and LFS between HLA-haploidentical and HLA-matched cohorts (P>0.05). Conclusion Haploidentical PBSCT is feasible and safe for malignant hematological diseases to use myeloablative conditioning regimen in combination with intensive immunosuppressants without in vitro T cell depletion.

To achieve the complete remission (CR), acute leukemia (AL) patient must get through the period of myeloid ablation after chemotherapy that the white blood cell (WBC) count in peripheral blood decreases rapidly. To observe the relationship of WBC count with therapeutic effectiveness after chemotherapy in previously untreated AL, eighty cases of previously untreated acute leukemia who took the first induction chemotherapy course were analyzed. Blood routine was carried out 2 to 3 times every week while the bone marrow pictures on 12th and 20th day after chemotherapy were observed. 80 patients were divided into 3 groups based on the lowest value of WBC count after chemotherapy:

In order to investigate the occurrence of hyperleukocytosis in treating acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) patients with all trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and to explore the influence of the level of leucocyte on curative effect of ATRA, the APL patients were divided into three different groups according to the count of leucocyte in peripheral blood. Patients with WBC count less than 30x10(9)/L were administered with ATRA alone (the first group), patients with WBC count more than 30x10(9)/L were administered with ATRA alone (the second group) and patients with WBC count more than 30x10(9)/L were treated with ATRA+cytotoxic drugs (the third group). The results showed that hyperleukocytosis were found in 23 out of 39 patients (58.97%). Total remission rates in the second group and in the third group were 91.3%. The remission rates in the first, second and third groups were 100%, 87.5% and 90.9%, respectively. It is concluded that the ATRA in combination with cytotoxic drugs can efficiently control the occurrence of hyperleukocytosis during ATRA-treating APL and reduce the early mortality.

BACKGROUND: Lack of human leucocyte antigen-matched family donors has restricted the application of hematopoietic cell transplantation. Due to immunological disorder of humam leucocyte antigen misfit, common way for haploidentical transplantation is associated with poor engraftment and severe graft-versus-host disease. Because not every patient has HLA-Jdentical family member, a substantial proportion of patients will receive haploidentical transplantation. OBJECTIVE: To explore the curative effect on malignant hematological diseases of haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) using myeloablative conditioning regimen in combination of proper immunosuppressants without in vitro T-cell depletion. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A case observation was performed at the Department of Hematology in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from July 2002 to June 2008. PARTICIPANTS: Forty-two patients with malignant hematological diseases, including 29 standard-risk patients and 13 high-risk patients, age from 10 to 48 years, were transplanted with cells from a haploidentical family donor with 1-3 mismatched loci of HLA antigens. Seven patients had 1 locus mismatched donors and thirty-five patients had 2-3 loci mismatched donors. METHODS: The patients have received myeloablative conditioning regimen. A two-agent based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis was used as cyclospodne A and a short course of methotrexate. Mycophenolate mofetile was added for 1 locus mismatched patients. Mycophenolate mofetile, antithymocyte globulin and CD25 mono-colonal antibody were added for 2-3 loci mismatched patients. The grafts were granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-mobilized peripheral blood stem cells without in vitro T-cell depletion. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Engraftment, GVHD incidence and severity, relapse and leukemia-free survival and the immune function of patients in months 1, 3, 6, 12 and 18 postoperatively. RESULTS: Totally 42 patients achieved complete and sustained donor-type engraftment. Nineteen patients developed acute GVHD, the 2-year cumulative incidences of acute GVHD were 50.8%, gradeⅠ acute GVHD occurred in 16 cases and grade Ⅱ in 3 cases. Thirty-one patients were followed up more than 6 months, 23 of them developed chronic GVHD with limited in 20 and extensive in 3, the 2-year cumulative incidences of chronic GVHD were 57.1%. No patients died of GVHD. There were no significant differences in the reduction and recovery of T cells and B cells between HLA haploidentical PBSCT without in vitro T cell depletion and HLA-matched PBSCT. CONCLUSION: Haploidentical PBSCT is feasible and safe for malignant hematological diseases to use myeloablative conditioning regiment combination of intensive immunosuppressants without in vitro T cell depletion. A large amount of clinical cases need to be investigated in the near future.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the clinical outcome of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) from related donors for hematological malignancies.
METHODSThirty-six patients with hematological malignancies, with a median age of 25 (11-48) years, were transplanted with PBSC from an HLA-haploidentical family donors: 7 were 1 locus mismatched and 29 were 2-3 loci mismatched. The recipients received myeloablative conditioning regimen, in combination with different immunosuppressants according to the degree of HLA disparity followed by non-T-cell depleted PBSCT. The median number of CD34+ cells were 11 (4.16-21.00) x 10(6)/kg.
RESULTSAll patients achieved sustained, full donor-type engraftment. Fifteen patients (41.7%) developed grade I-II aGVHD. Among 29 patients followed up more than 18 months, 17 (58.6%) developed cGVHD. There was no statistical difference in decrease and recovery of T, B and NK cell subsets after transplantation between HLA haploidentical group and HLA identical PBSCT group. The median follow-up duration was 15 (4 -69) months. Five patients (13.9% ) relapsed. The 2-year probability of leukemia-free survival (LFS) was 82.2%.
CONCLUSIONNon-T-cell depleted HLA-haploidentical PBSCT is safe and feasible for patients with hematological malignancies after myeloablative conditioning regimen combined with intensive immunosuppressants.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the expression level and clinical significance of Gli1 gene in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS).
METHODS:
The positive rate of bone marrow CD34 cells was detected by flow cytometry in 53 patients with MDS.Magnetic beads were used to separate CD34 cells. The expression of Gli1 on CD34 cells was detected by RT-qPCR, 25 patients with iron deficiency anemia were selected as controls. The relationship of Gli1 expression with clinical characteristics were analyzed.
RESULTS:
The expression of Gli1 in patients with MDS (0.73±1.26) was significantly higher than that in the control group (0.07±0.46) (P<0.05). The expression of Gli1 significantly correlated with platelet count, chromosome grouping and IPSS risk stratification (P<0.05). The median overall survival time of patients in high and low expression groups were 7 and 20 months respectively (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that Gli1 and chromosome grouping were 2 independent poor prognostic factors (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
The expression of Gli1 is high in MDS. Abnormal expression of Gli1 positively correlates with clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients.Gli1 may be involved in the occurrence and development of MDS.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the effect of SMO inhibitor (Jervine) on proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle of MDS cell line MUTZ-1, and its mechanism.
METHODS:
The effect of different concentrations Jervine on proliferation of MUTZ-1 cells was detected by CCK-8 method. Apoptosis and cell cycle of MUTZ-1 cells were detected by flow cytometry. Western blot was used to detect the changes of Shh signaling pathway effecting proteins BCL2 and CyclinD1. The expression levels of Smo and Gli1 gene were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR).
RESULTS:
Jervine inhibited MUTZ-1 cell proliferation in a concentration dependent manner (24 h, r=-0.977), the apoptosis rate of MUTZ-1 cells increased with the enhancement of concentration of Jervine in MUTZ-1 cells (P<0.001), the cell proportion of G phase increased and the cell number of S phase decreased with enhancement of concentration (P<0.001). The result of RT-qPCR and Western blot showed that the expression of Smo, Gli1 mRNA and BCL2, CyclinD1 proteins decreased (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
SMO inhibitor can effectively inhibit the growth of MDS cell line MUTZ-1 improve the cell apoptosis and induce cell cycle arrest. Its action mechanism may be related with dowm-regulating the expression of BCL2 and CyclinD1.
