Objective To retrospectively review and compare the clinical results of allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (allo-PBSCT) from HLA- matched sibling donors mobilized with different regimens. Methods Seventy-one patients with hematological malignant diseases received allo-PBSCT from HLA-matched sibling donors in our department. Among them, 24 received allografts mobilized with G-CSF (group G), and the remaining (47 cases) were mobilized with G-CSF and GM-CSF (group G+ M). CD34+ subsets and T cell subsets in the allografts were analyzed, and the time of hematopoietic reconstitution and the incidence of graft versus host diseases (GVHD) were compared. The adverse effects on the donors after mobilization were also observed. Results The enough targeted CD34+ cells in all donors were harvested by 1-3 aphereses. Ninety-six h after mobilization, WBC counts of the donors were significantly higher in group G than in group G + M [(49. 6± 19. 5) 109/L vs (25.4 ± 10. 4) 109/L, P<0. 05]. Analysis of the CD34+ subsets showed that the percentage of cells with the CD34+/CD38- phenotype was significantly higher in group G + M than in group G [(37. 7 ± 5. 7) % vs (31.4 ± 4. 5) %, P<0. 05]. There was no significant difference in T cells and subsets of grafts. There was no significant difference in the number of total CD34+ cells and CD34+ CD38- cells, and infusion of T cells between two groups. The days required for the recovery of neutrophils and platelets was inversely correlated with the infused CD34+ and CD34+ /CD38- cell number. There was no significant difference in incidence of acute and chronic GVHD between two recipient groups. Seventeen cases and 10 eases among 71 eases died of relapses of primarydiseases, and complications of transplantation such as severe GVHD and infections respectively.Fourteen cases in group G (58.3 %) and 31 cases in group G+ M (66.0 %) survived. The most common adverse events in the donors were bone pain and fever, which mostly occurred 36 h after mobilization and could be relieved by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Conclusion Two mobilization regimens showed equivalent clinical results. But the combined regimen of G-CSF and GM-CSF demonstrated a significantly greater mobilization of cells with the CD34+/CD38- phenotype.Meanwhile in allogeneic PBSCT, a greater number of total CD34+ cells and CD34+ CD38- cells infused may be associated with faster hematopoietic reconstitution of recipients.

Objective To evaluate the effect of haploidentical lymphocyte infusion on refractory and relapse acute leukemia. Methods The haploidentical donor lymphocyte infusion was used to treat for relapse acute myeloid leukemia 3 patients (M2 2 eases, M4 lcase), one relapse acute lymphocyte leukemia from April 2006 to October 2007. Four cases who had accepted secondly regimens were ineffective,after relapse. Collecting donor lymphocytes, parents children as donor supply in 3 cases, mother as donor supply one case. Before donor lymphocyte infusion patients received chemotherapy of different regimens. Donor haploidentical iymphocytes irradiated by 6-8 Gy radial were infused when patients white cell count was at the lowest after the chemotherapy. The average of infusion cells was 2.3 (1.4-3.1)×108/kg. Results One patient acquired complete remission and two patients were effective in three relapse acute myeloid leukemia. It was ineffective in relapse acute lymphocyte leukemia. No transfusion related graft versus host disease was observed. One patient has had herpes zoster virus infection. Conclusion Haploidentical donor lymphocyte infusion with chemotherapy are effective for refractory and relapse in acute myeloid leukemia, but the infused cell quantity and irradiated dosage must be further discussed.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that HLA-identical sibling allogeneic peripheral blood hematopoietic stemcelltransplantation (allo-HSCT) provides higher disease-free and overall survival rates for patients with intermediatecytogenetic risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in complete remission (CR). But prognosis factors have not been fullydefined.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the outcome of patients with intermediate cytogenetic risk AML undergoing HLA-matchedallo-HSCT in CR, and to analyze the prognostic factors.METHODS: Fifty cases of intermediate cytogenetic risk AML in CR receiving HLA-matched allo-HSCT from January2009 to January 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Primary outcome measures of the study included overall survival(OS), relapse rate and non-relapse mortality.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The 4-year OS of the study population reached to 64%, and the relapse rate and NRMreached to 18% and 20% respectively. Incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease was 26%. Different prognosis wasobserved between female donor/male recipient (FDMR) combination transplant and control (4-year OS: 50% vs. 71.9%,P=0.041), between patients requiring more than one course of induction chemotherapy to achieve CR and control(4-year OS: 40% vs. 70%, P=0.038), between older age (≥ 40 years) and control (4-year OS: 44.4% vs. 68.3%,P=0.056). The 4-year OS for matched sibling donor and matched unrelated donor was 63.2% and 66.7% (P=0.427),respectively. Further analysis revealed significantly high non-relapse mortality in FDMR combination transplant (P=0.024)and older age (≥ 40 years; P=0.043). Multivariate analysis revealed three negative prognostic factors: FDMRcombination (P=0.031, RR=1.38, 95% CI: 1.03-1.95), requiring more than one course of induction chemotherapy toachieve CR (P=0.016, RR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.10-1.98) and older age (≥ 40 years; P=0.024, RR=1.63, 95% CI: 1.32-2.12).To conclude, HLA-matched allo-HSCT is a choice for the intermediate cytogenetic risk AML case in CR. FDMRcombination, requiring more than one course of induction chemotherapy to achieve CR and older age (≥ 40 years) areconfirmed as risk factors of poor prognosis for HLA-matched allo-HSCT patients with intermediate cytogenetic risk AMLin CR. To these cases, the donor-recipient sex combination is more important than the donor type in donor selection.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of combined regimen of gemcitabine and CHOP-like regimen as the first-line treatment for primary extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma. Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out in 39 newly treated patients with extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from March 2012 to March 2017, in which 11 patients were treated with gemcitabine regimen and 28 patients were treated with CHOP-like regimen. The complete remission (CR) rate, partial remission (PR) rate, overall remission rate (ORR), overall survival (OS) rate, progression free survival (PFS) rate, and adverse reactions in the two groups were compared. Results In gemcitabine group and CHOP-like group, there were 5 and 8 cases achieved CR, 3 and 5 cases achieved PR. There was no statistically significant difference in CR rates and ORR between the two groups (P= 0.453, P= 0.073). The estimated 3-year OS rate in the two groups were 75 % and 33 %, and the estimated 3-year PFS rate were 70%and 29%, respectively. There was statistically significant differences in OS and PFS between the two groups (χ2 = 5.606, P= 0.018; χ2 = 3.924, P= 0.048). The univariate analysis showed that the treatment program (P=0.018) and the high lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (P= 0.007) affected the prognosis of patients. Multivariate analysis showed that the high LDH increased the risk of death in patients (RR= 6.331, 95% CI 2.339-17.136, P< 0.001). Treatment with gemcitabine regimen reduced the risk of death in patients (RR=0.101, 95 %CI 0.023-0.452, P= 0.003). Most of the adverse events were 1-2 levels, and the patients were well tolerated. Conclusion Compared with CHOP-like regimen, the combined regimen of gemcitabine can improve the survival time of the patients with extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma and significantly improve the long-term efficacy.
