1.Clinical Features of Acute Leukemia with Positive Mixed Lineage Leukemia Fusion Gene in Children
Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2006;0(20):-
Objective To analyze the clinical features of acute leukemia(AL) with positive mixed lineage leukemia(MLL)fusion gene in children,and explore their treatment protocols,prognosis factors,and so on.Methods Clinical features,treatment protocols,and prognosis factors were studied retrospectively among 51 AL patients with MLL fusion gene.MLL fusion gene was detected by morphology immunology,cytogenetics,molecul arbiology and reverse transcrption polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results Fifty-one AL patients with MLL fusion gene positive,included 37 cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL) and 14 cases of acute myelocytic leukemia(AML).Forty-two patients exhibited abnormal clonal chromosome 11.MLL fusion gene rearrangements and MLL fusion gene partial tandem duplication were found among 36 cases and 15 cases,respectively.Thirty-two cases who received regular chemotherapy were followed up.Twenty-four cases including 19 cases of ALL and 5 cases of AML had achieved complete remission(CR).Six cases including 5 cases of ALL and 1 cases of AML had achieved more than 2 years CR.Sixteen cases were alive update including 12 cases of ALL and 4 cases of AML.Ten cases of positive MLL fusion gene were turning negative.Up to now,6 cases relapsed and 6 cases were dead.Conclusions The incidence of AL children with positive MLL fusion gene is low.It has some features,such as,high replapse rate and poor prognosis.A few patients sensitive to chemotherapies can achieve CR.They live with constant negative MLL fusion gene.

Objective To explore the expression of WT1 gene in acute leukemia in children and its clinical significance.Methods The real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction method was used to detect the expression level of WT1 gene in 198 children with acute leukemia.Results The medium of WT1 gene in children with acute leukemia was 932.99,but it was 38.50 in control group,and it in patient′s group was significantly higher than that in control group.The medium of WT1 gene in children with ALL was 195.73,while the medium of WT1 gene in children with acute myeloid leukemia was 6 297.75,and there was significant difference between the 2 groups(P

OBJECTIVETo study relationship between daunorubicin (DNR) pharmacokinetics and efficacy and toxicity in children with acute leukemia.
METHODS(1) The concentration of DNR in plasma of children with acute leukemia was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-fluorescence detection method. Plasma was sampled frequently from the start of the infusion till the end of 24 h. DNR pharmacokinetics was studied by determination of the concentrations. (2) Efficacy and toxicity were monitored in each period after chemotherapy. Laboratory studies included examination of bone marrow, white blood cell count, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, myocardial enzymogram, the liver and kidney function.
RESULTS(1) DNR was eliminated from plasma in a two-compartment manner. The maximum concentration was seen 1 - 3 h after infusion. Cmax was 63.50 microg/L. Tmax was 1.45 h. The concentration decreased quickly to a low level of about 11.52 microg/L from the end of 2 hours infusion. There was a large inter-individual difference in pharmacokinetic parameters of DNR. The difference of CL was 9-fold, AUC was 8-fold, Cmax was 5-fold. (2) CL of male patients [57.99 L/(h.m(2))] was significantly lower than that of female patients [93.71 L/(h.m(2))] (P < 0.05). Tmax of children older than 6 years was 1.1 h, and that of children younger than 6 years was 1.8 h (P < 0.05); Cmax of children older than 6 years was 90.77 microg/L, younger than 6 years was 57.44 microg/L (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION(1) There is a large inter-individual difference in pharmacokinetic parameters of DNR in children. It may predict individual variety of efficacy and toxicity. Therapeutic drug monitoring is important. (2) Male patients and children older than 6 years had a higher bioavailability and lower metabolism, toxicity may easily occur in such children, therefore they may need lower dose.

This study was aimed to explore a new method of alleviating graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation through selective elimination of human alloreactive T cells expressing either CD25(+) or CD69(+) by immuno-magnetic cell sorting (MACS). Healthy donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells were cocultivated with bone marrow mononuclear cells from HLA-nonidentical leukemia recipient with remission in one-way mixed lymphocyte culture (OWMLC). After 3 days, both CD25(+) and CD69(+) lymphocytes were removed by MACS. The depleted donor fraction and untreated donor cells were then rechallenged in a secondary mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) with the original stimulator cells or a third party to assess relative alloreactivity. The results showed that 50% inhibition of the secondary MLC was observed in the depleted donor fraction. Alloreactivity against unrelated third-party cells was largely preserved. It is concluded that this method reduces alloreactivity while retaining reactivity against a third party target in vitro.
