Objective To investigate the effects of anti-HLA donor-specific antibodies(DSA)and desensitization for DSA+patients on engraftment of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(haplo-HSCT).Methods The patients who underwent haplo-HSCT and examinations for HLA antibodies and DSA in our department from March 2017 to July 2023 were recruited in this study.The effects of desensitization measure on engraftment in the DSA+patients after haplo-HSCT were analyzed.Results Among the 70 patients who underwent haplo-HSCT and test for HLA antibodies,15(21.4％)patients were DSA positive,including 7(46.7％)cases of strong positive,3(20.0％)cases of moderate positive,and 5(33.3％)cases of weak positive.The median duration for neutrophil implantation was significantly extended in the DSA+patients than the negative patients(P=0.027).For the 6 patients developed graft failure(GF),4 were DSA+which was statistically higher than the DSA-patients(P=0.025).Multivariate regression analysis showed that DSA was an independent factor affecting GF(HR=9.273,95％CI:1.505～57.124,P=0.016).Among the 10 patients(7 strong positive and 3 moderate positive DSA)received desensitization therapy,4 patients received combination desensitization,with a 100％rate of successful transplantation,and 6 received single desensitization,with 4(66.7％)experiencing GF,so the GF rate was obviously lower in the combination than the single desensitization(P=0.008).Conclusion In haplo-HSCT patients,DSA is an important factor leading to implantation delay and GF.While,single desensitization treatment has limited efficacy.In combined DSA desensitization therapy,the decrease of antibody titer should be dynamically monitored to ensure the successful implantation of stem cells and reduce GF rate.

Objective: To investigate the function of CIK (cytokine induced killer) cells cultured using ATG-F (anti-human T lymphocyte rabbit immunoglobulin-Fresenius) and IFN- γ, IL-2 system and its feasibility in clinical practice. Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from healthy donors and were used to culture CIK cells by different activating antibodies; the total cell count was calculated on Day 7 and 14. The CIK cell composition, cell surface activation and proportion of inhibitory receptor molecular in ATG-F group, CD3 group and TG (Thymoglobulin) group were analyzed by Flow cytometry, and the cytotoxicity of CIK cells against K562 cells were also determined by flow cytometry at day 14 in ATG-F high-dose group, CD3 group and TG group. Results: CIK cells were successfully cultured by ATG-F, IFN-γ, IL-2 system. The proliferation rate of ATGF high-dose group was significantly higher than that in TG group (27.25±1.25 vs 16.60±1.72, P <0.01), but the proportion of CD3+ CD56+ cells showed no statistical difference compare with the CD3 group ( P >0.05). The percentage of CD3-CD56+ NK cells in ATG-F high-dose group was significantly higher than that in TG group and CD3 group [(11.19±2.60）% vs（5.66±1.00）%,（1.42± 0.51）% ， P <0.01], while the proportion of CD4+T cells was significantly lower than that in CD3, TG group [(4.35±1.47）% vs （26.88±5.01）%,（14.52±6.22）%, P <0.01]; the proportion of CD56+CD94+, CD56+CD158a+, CD56+CD158b cells was significantly higher than those in CD3 group (all P <0.01). The ATG-F high does group showed significantly higher cytotoxicity against K562 cells than that of CD3 group at the target/effect ratio of 1∶10. Conclusion: CIK cells cultured by ATG-F culture system has higher NK cell proportion than other ordinary culture system, and its activated receptor has more stronger cytotoxicity against K562 cells.

Objective To study the application value of ultrasound(US) examination for evaluating the knee joint status in the patients with hemophilia.Methods The US examination data of 44 patients (70 knee joints) with hemophilia were collected,among them 11 cases aged below 18 years old,16 knee joints completed the MRI examination,meanwhile the knee joint health status was evaluated by adopting the 2.1 version of hemophilia joint health assessment (HJHS) form.Then the correlation between the US score with the age and bleeding times and the relation between MRI score with HJHS score were analyzed.Results The severity of hemophilia arthropathy had no obvious correlation with hemophilia severity (F=0.013,P =0.987).With the age increase and bleeding frequency increase,the knee joint lesion was aggravated.The detection of early synovial thickening and cartilage change in arthropathy had no obvious difference between US and MRI examinations(P＞0.05);the obvious correlation existed among US score,MRI score and HJHS (P＜0.05).Conclusion US has an important significance for the early diagnosis of hemophilic arthropathy.

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation is the only treatment which may cure multiple myeloma (MM).The high transplantation related mortality (TRM) limits the wide clinical application of myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplantation.Non-myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplantation can reduce the TRM,but the risk of relapse and progress of the disease may get increased. Autononmyeloablative allogeneic stem cell tandem transplantation can reduce both the TRM and the relapse and progress of the disease. At present,there exist many new methods which may improve the effect of allogeneic stem cell transplantation for MM in clinical.
