Objective: To investigate the safety and efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) containing cladribine sequential busulfan regimen for refractory/relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) . Methods: The clinical data of 12 refractory/relapsed AML patients received allo-HSCT with cladribine sequential busulfan regimen. Results: ① Of the 12 patients, 9 were males and 3 females, with a median age of 36 (27-50) years. The donors were identical sibling (3) , matched unrelated (1) and haploidentical family member (9) respectively. Nine patients reached partial remission and other remained no remission after chemotherapy before allo-HSCT. The median previous chemotherapy courses before allo-HSCT were 6 (2-13) . ② Conditioning regimen: Smostine 250 mg·m^-2·d^-1, d-7; Cladribine 5 mg·m^-2·d^-1, d-6 to d-2; Cytarabine Arabinoside 2 g·m^-2·d^-1, d-6 to d-2; Busulfan 3.2 mg·m^-2·d^-1, d-6 to d-3; Rabbit anti-human thymocyte immunoglobulin (ATG) 1.5 mg·m^-2·d^-1 (unrelated donor transplantation) or 2.0-2.5 mg·m^-2·d^-1 (haplo-HSCT) , d-4 to d-1. ③ Of the 12 patients, 11 patients attained complete haploidentical engraftment, one case occurred primary graft failure. The median durations for neutrophils and platelet implantations were 15 (15-21) and 19 (17-30) days respectively. ④After conditioning, no hepatic veno-occlusive diseases were observed, hemorrhagic cystitis occurred in 2 patients, 8 patients had fever, 3 cases experienced acute GVHD grade II, localized chronic GVHD occurred in 8 patients. ⑤The median follow-up was 8 (4-12) months. Leukemia relapse occurred in 2 patients at time of 6, 12 months after allo-HSCT. The estimated 1-year OS and DFS were (71.1±1.8) % and (62.2±1.8) %, respectively. Conclusions allo-HSCT with cladribine sequential busulfan regimen was a feasible choice with favorable outcome for refractory/relapsed AML.

Objective To investigate the early diagnosis value of MR by detecting spinal inflammatory lesions in ankylosing spon-dylitis (AS).Methods Forty patients were involved in this study,including 20 cases with short inflammatory back pain (IBP)histo-ry (duration ≤18 months)and 20 cases with long IBP history (duration ≥24 months).MR images were analyzed retrospectively. Results Patients with a short history of IBP had 7 lesions in vertebral bodies (anterior/posterior spondylitis and spondylodiscitis) and 33 lesions in posterior spinal structures (arthritis of costovertebral joints,costotransversal joints,zygapophyseal joints and en-thesitis of spinal ligaments).Patients with a long history of IBP had 27 lesions in vertebral bodies and 24 lesions in posterior spinal structures.Patients with a short history of IBP had significantly more lesions in posterior spinal structures than in vertebral bodies with 82.5% (33/40)vs 1 7.5% (7/40),respectively (P <0.01).In contrast,patients with a long history of IBP had significantly more inflammation in vertebral bodies with 79.4% (27/34)vs 20.6% (7/34),respectively (P <0.01).Conclusion Inflammatory spinal lesions in patients with a short history of IBP are seen more often in the posterior structures.Early detection of inflammatory spinal lesions by MRI is useful for early diagnosis of AS.

Objective: To explore the availability and safety of fecal microbiota transplantation for patients with refractory diarrhea after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) . Methods: Four acute leukemia patients suffered from refractory diarrhea after allo-HSCT. One of them was refractory intestinal infection, the others were intestinal graft versus host disease. One or two doses of fecal microbiota, 3.4-6.0 U for one dose, were infused via nasal-jejunal tube. The curative effect and side effects were reviewed. Results: Three cases achieved complete remission while 1 was stable disease. The side effects included fever, abdominal pain and diarrhea, which all were Ⅰ grade. Conclusion Fecal microbiota transplantation was effective and safe for refractory diarrhea after allo-HSCT.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of mesenchymal stem cells in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for patients with refractory severe aplastic anemia (R-SAA) . Method: The clinical data of 25 R-SAA patients receiving co-transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells combined with peripheral blood stem cells from sibling donors (10 cases) and unrelated donors (15 cases) from March 2010 to July 2018 in Zhengzhou University Affiliated Tumor Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Antithymocyte globulin (ATG) treatment was ineffective/relapsed in 11 cases, and cyclosporine (CsA) treatment ineffective/relapsed in 14 cases. Results: There were 13 male and 12 female among these patients. One patient had a primary graft failure, one patient had a poorly engraftment of platelets, and the remaining 23 patients achieved hematopoietic engraftment. The median time of granulocyte engraftment was 12.5 (10-23) days and 15 (11-25) days for megakaryocyte. Incidences of grade Ⅰ/Ⅱ acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) and chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) were 37.5% (9/24) and 21.7% (5/23) , respectively. There was no severe GVHD and no severe complications that related to transplantation. 21 of 25 (84%) patients were alive with a median follow-up of 22.9 (1.6-107.8) months. The 5-year overall survival rate after transplantation was (83.6±7.5) %. Conclusion The combination of mesenchymal stem cells is reliable and safe in the treatment of R-SAA in peripheral blood stem cell transplantation of unrelated donors and sibling donors, which could significantly reduce the incidence of GVHD and severe transplantation-related complications.

To retrospectively analyze the safety and efficacy of low dose rituximab regimen in patients with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Among 12 cases, 11 achieved complete remission (CR), 1 with partial remission (PR). Patients received 15 infusions with a median of 2.5(1-4) in each. The EBV DNA negative transformation period was 5-25 days with median 12 days. Low dose rituximab could be an alternative choice in patients with EBV infection after allo-HSCT.

Objective To investigate the clinical and imaging features of extralobar pulmonary sequestration(ELS)with torsion.Methods The clinical and imaging data,surgical records and pathological results of four ELS children with torsion were analyzed ret-rospectively.Results All four children presented with abdominal pain,and all CT scans showed soft tissue masses on the medial side of the lower lobe,and there were 2 masses with long fusculine-shaped in the right pleural cavity,2 round masses in the left pleural cavity,all of which were accompanied by pleural effusion and poor ventilation of adjacent lung lobes.There were 1 case without enhance-ment,1 case with mild enhancement,and 2 cases with simple marginal linear enhancement.There were no patients with definitive supplying artery and 3 cases with peripheral post-intercostal dilated veins.Intraoperative ELS combined with torsion was shown,and the nutrient artery were derived from the thoracic aorta.All ELS showed bleeding and necrosis according to the pathological results,and 1 case was complicated with congenital pulmonary airway malformation(type 2).Conclusion ELS combined with torsion is mostly abdominal pain as the first symptom,and there are soft tissue mass adjacent to the lower lobe with pleural effusion on the affected side as the imaging features with no,mild or marginal linear enhancement,with no supplying artery,and with intracostal posterior venous expansion.

The efficacy and safety of co-transplantation of unrelated donor peripheral blood stem cells (UD-PBSCs) combined with umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) in refractory severe aplastic anemia-Ⅱ(RSAA-Ⅱ) were analyzed retrospectively. Fifteen patients with RSAA-Ⅱ underwent UD-PBSCs and UC-MSCs co-transplantation, among whom 14 cases had hematopoietic reconstitution without severe graft versus-host disease (GVHD). The 5-year overall survival rate was 78.57%. Combination of UD-PBSCs and UC-MSCs transplantation could be a safe and effective option for RSAA-Ⅱ.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and prognostic factors of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in the treatment of relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML).Methods:The clinical data of 35 patients with relapsed/refractory AML treated with allo-HSCT in the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2011 to October 2018 was retrospectively analyzed. The overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), graft versus host disease (GVHD) incidence, transplantation related mortality and recurrence rate were calculated, and the risk factors affecting prognosis were analyzed.Results:Hematopoietic reconstitution was obtained in all patients after transplantation. The 100 d incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ acute GVHD was (22.9±7.7)%, and the 3-year incidence of chronic GVHD was (49.5±10.60)%. The median follow-up time after transplantation was 14.1 months (4.2-89.4 months). In all cases, 18 cases survived (including 16 cases of DFS), and 17 cases died. Fourteen cases relapsed, and the median recurrence time was 4.7 months (2.9-32.4 months). The 3-year OS rate and DFS rate were (44.4±9.3)% and (43.0±9.5)%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the non-remission disease before transplantation, poor genetic risk grade before transplantation and recurrence after transplantation were the risk factors for OS (all P < 0.05). The 3-year OS rates in complete remission before transplantation group and non-remission before transplantation group were (63.2±12.0)% and (15.7±12.8)% ( P = 0.025), the 3-year DFS rates were (62.2±12.3)% and (15.3±12.7)% ( P = 0.028), and the 3-year recurrence rates were (28.2±10.7)% and (80.6±15.7)% ( P = 0.057). The 3-year recurrence rate in genetic high-risk group was higher than that in middle-risk group and low-risk group [100.0%, (45.0±12.1)% and (14.3±13.2)%, P = 0.045]. The 3-year tansplantation related mortality was (18.7±7.7)%. Conclusions:Allo-HSCT is an effective method for salvage treatment of relapsed/refractory AML, and recurrence is the main factor affecting survival. Reducing tumor load before transplantation is very important for reducing recurrence and improving curative effect.
