Twelve DEK-NUP214 fusion gene-positive patients with acute myeloid leukemia and on allo-HSCT treatment at the Hematology Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from November 2016 to August 2022 were included in the study, and their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. The patients comprised five men and seven women with a median age of 34 (16-52) years. At the time of diagnosis, all the patients were positive for the DEK-NUP214 fusion gene. Chromosome karyotyping analysis showed t (6;9) (p23;q34) translocation in 10 patients (two patients did not undergo chromosome karyotyping analysis), FLT3-ITD mutation was detected in 11 patients, and high expression of WT1 was observed in 11 patients. Nine patients had their primary disease in the first complete remission state before transplantation, one patient had no disease remission, and two patients were in a recurrent state. All patients received myeloablative pretreatment, five patients received sibling allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and seven patients received haploid hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The median number of mononuclear cells in the transplant was 10.87 (7.09-17.89) ×10 8/kg, and the number of CD34 + cells was 3.29 (2.53-6.10) ×10 6/kg. All patients achieved blood reconstruction, with a median time of 14 (10-20) days for neutrophil implantation and 15 (9-27) days for platelet implantation. The 1 year transplant-related mortality rate after transplantation was 21.2%. The cumulative recurrence rates 1 and 3 years after transplantation were 25.0% and 50.0%, respectively. The leukemia free survival rates were (65.6±14.0) % and (65.6±14.0) %, respectively. The overall survival rates were (72.2±13.8) % and (72.2±13.8) %, respectively.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and prognostic factors of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome accompanied by myelodysplasia (MDS-EB) and to compare the prognosis of different subtypes of patients classified by World Health Organization (WHO) 2022.Methods:A total of 282 patients with MDS-EB who underwent allo-HSCT at the Hematology Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from October 2006 to December 2022 were included in the study. The WHO 2022 diagnostic criteria reclassified MDS into three groups: myelodysplastic tumors with type 1/2 of primitive cell proliferation (MDS-IB1/IB2, 222 cases), MDS with fibrosis (MDS-f, 41 cases), and MDS with biallelic TP53 mutation (MDS-biTP53, 19 cases). Their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.Results:① The median age of 282 patients was 46 (15-66) years, with 191 males and 91 females. Among them, 118 (42% ) and 164 (58% ) had MDS-EB1 and MDS-EB2, respectively. ②Among the 282 patients, 256 (90.8% ) achieved hematopoietic reconstruction after transplantation, with 11 (3.9% ) and 15 (5.3% ) having primary and secondary implantation dysfunctions, respectively. The cumulative incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) 100 days post-transplantation was (42.6±3.0) %, and the cumulative incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ acute GVHD was (33.0±2.8) %. The cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD 1 year post-transplantation was (31.0±2.9) %. Post-transplantation, 128 (45.4% ), 63 (22.3% ), 35 (12.4% ), and 17 patients (6.0% ) developed cytomegalovirus infection, bacteremia, pulmonary fungal infection, and Epstein-Barr virus infection. ③The median follow-up time post-transplantation was 22.1 (19.2-24.7) months, and the 3-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 71.9% (95% CI 65.7% -78.6% ) and 63.6% (95% CI 57.2% -70.7% ), respectively. The 3-year non-recurrent mortality rate (NRM) is 17.9% (95% CI 13.9% -22.9% ), and the 3-year cumulative recurrence rate (CIR) is 9.8% (95% CI 6.7% -13.7% ). The independent risk factors affecting OS post-transplantation include monocyte karyotype ( P=0.004, HR=3.26, 95% CI 1.46-7.29), hematopoietic stem cell transplantation complication index (HCI-CI) of ≥3 points ( P<0.001, HR=2.86, 95% CI 1.72-4.75), and the occurrence of acute gastrointestinal GVHD of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ ( P<0.001, HR=5.94, 95% CI 3.50-10.10). ④The 3-year OS and DFS rates in the MDS-IB1/IB2 group post-transplantation were better than those in the MDS-biTP53 group [OS: 72.0% (95% CI 63.4% -80.7% ) vs 46.4% (95% CI 26.9% –80.1% ), P=0.020; DFS: 67.4% (95% CI 60.3% -75.3% ) vs 39.7% (95% CI 22.3% -70.8% ), P=0.015]. The 3-year CIR was lower than that of the MDS-biTP53 group [7.3% (95% CI 4.3% -11.4% ) vs 26.9% (95% CI 9.2% -48.5% ), P=0.004]. The NRM at 3 years post-transplantation in the MDS-IB1/IB2, MDS-f, and MDS-biTP53 groups were 16.7% (95% CI 12.1% -22.1% ), 20.5% (95% CI 9.4% -34.6% ), and 26.3% (95% CI 9.1% -47.5% ), respectively ( P=0.690) . Conclusion:Allo-HSCT is an effective treatment for MDS-EB, with monomeric karyotype, HCI-CI, and grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ acute gastrointestinal GVHD as independent risk factors affecting the patient’s OS. The WHO 2022 classification helps distinguish the efficacy of allo-HSCT in different subgroups of patients. Allo-HSCT can improve the poor prognosis of patients with MDS-f, but those with MDS-biTP53 have a higher risk of recurrence post-transplantation.

Objective:The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of haploidentical donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the treatment of severe aplastic anemia.Methods:The clinical data of 76 patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) patients who underwent haplo-HSCT from December 2014 to October 2020 were selectively analyzed. There were 50 males and 26 females with a median age of 16 (3-52) years old. There were 49 SAA-Ⅰ patients, 18 SAA-Ⅱ patients, and 9 patients with hepatitis-associated aplastic anemia. There were 15 cases of bone marrow put together with peripheral blood stem cell transplantation and 61 cases of peripheral blood stem-cell transplantation. Conditioning regimens were Cyclophosphamide (CY) + Fludarabine (Flu) + ATG for 46 patients and Busulfan (Bu) + CY+Flu+ATG for 30 patients.Results:Three patients died during the myelosuppressive phase following transplantation, and 73 patients had a median time of neutrophil engraftment of 12 (9-21) days; in addition to 3 patients who died early, 8 patients did not obtain platelet reconstruction after transplantation, and 65 patients had platelet engraftment with a medium time of 14 (9-90) d. The incidence of primary graft failure was 10.9% and the incidence of secondary graft failure was 5.5%. The incidence of Ⅱ-Ⅳ acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) was 38.4%, the incidence of Ⅲ-Ⅳ aGVHD was 16.4%, the incidence of chronic graft anti-host disease (cGVHD) was 35.8%, and the incidence of extensive cGVHD was 22.4%. The medium follow-up time was 19.5 (1-75) months, the prospective overall survival (OS) for 2 years was (78.6±5.0) %, the failure-free survival (FFS) was (75.9±5.1) %, and the transplant-related mortality was (20.2±4.9) %. Multi-factor analysis revealed that the patient older than 35 years old, Ⅲ/Ⅳ aGVHD, HCT-CI≥3, the pre-transplant ferritin ≥1 500 μg/L, the number of neutrophils >1×10 9/L at the time of onset were risk factors affecting OS ( P=0.008, 0.008, 0.014, 0.004, 0.027) . Patients with graft failure had lower OS and FFS than other patients ( P<0.001) . Conclusion:Haplo-HSCT is an effective method for treating SAA in children, adolescents, and young patients, and the occurrence of severe aGVHD and severe infection, as well as graft failure, are the main causes of survival rate. The prevention and treatment of severe aGVHD and infection are essential to improve efficacy.

Objective:TP53-abnormal MDS/acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients’ allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) treatment’s effectiveness and influencing factors should be studied.Methods:42 patients with TP53 gene status change MDS/AML who underwent allo-HSCT from 2014.8.1 to 2021.7.31 at the Hematology Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences were the subject of a retrospective analysis. The 42 patients were divided into three groups: the TP53 deletion group (group A) , TP53 mono-alle mutation group (group B) , and TP53 multi-hit group (group C) . The differences in clinical features and prognostic factors after transplantation were analyzed.Results:There were 42 MDS/AML patients, including 21 patients with MDS, and 21 patients with AML. The median follow-up period was 34.0 (7.5-75.0) months and the median patient age at the time of transplantation was 41.5 (18-63) years old. The total OS was 66.3% (95% CI 53.4%-82.4%) in 3 years after transplantation, and EFS was 61.0% (95% CI 47.7%-78.0%) in 3 years. For 3 years after receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, there were no statistically significant differences in 3-year OS and EFS in groups A, B, and C ( P≥0.05) . The 3 years OS was 82.5% (95% CI 63.1%-100.0%) in group A, 60.6% (95% CI 43.5%-84.4%) in group B, and 57.1% (95% CI 30.1%-100.0%) in group C. Univariate analysis revealed that the number of co-mutant genes, pre-HSCT treatment, and disease type did not affect prognosis, while age, karyotype, co-mutation, positive blast cell before transplantation, and positive blast cell after transplantation were common prognostic factors for OS and EFS ( P<0.1) . MRD levels before transplantation were found to be independent risk factors for OS ( P=0.037, HR=33.40, 95% CI 1.24-901.17) in a multivariate analysis. Conclusion:Patients with MDS/AML who have TP53 mutations can benefit from allo-HSCT, but patients with complex karyotypes have a worse prognosis. Meanwhile, the final flow cytometry (FCM) monitoring blast cell test before HSCT has a certain guiding significance for prognostic assessment.

Objective:To evaluate the role of spinal cord mitochondrial autophagy in alleviation of diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) by curcumin in mice.Methods:SPF healthy male C57BL/6 mice, aged 2 months, weighing 20-25 g, in which DNP model was established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) 130 mg/kg, were used in this study.A total of 36 mice with successfully established DNP model were divided into 3 groups ( n=12 each) using the random number table method: DNP group, DNP + curcumin group (DPR group), and DNP + curcumin + cyclosporine A group (DRC group). Another 12 C57BL/6 mice were selected and served as normal control group (NC group), and the equal volume of normal saline was intraperitoneally injected.In group DPR, curcumin 200 mg/kg was administered by intragastric gavage, once a day, for 7 consecutive days.In group DRC, the mitochondrial autophagy inhibitor cyclosporine A 10 mg/kg was intrathecally injected once a day for 7 consecutive days before each administration of curcumin.The equal volume of normal saline was administered by intragastric gavage at the same time point, once a day, for 7 consecutive days in group NC and group DNP.The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) was measured before intragastric gavage and at 1, 3, 5 and 7 days after intragastric gavage.After the last behavioral testing, the L 4-6 spinal cord tissues were removed for determination of the mitochondrial membrane potential and ROS content (by JC-1 and DCFH-DA combined with flow cytometry), expression of microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3), Beclin1 and P62 (by Western blot), and mitochondrial autophagosomes (by transmission electron microscopy) and for microscopic examination of the co-expression of LC3-Ⅱwith mitochondrial translocase outer membrane protein 20 (TOM20) (using immunofluorescence double-labeling technique). Results:Compared with group NC, the MWT and mitochondrial membrane potential were significantly decreased, the ROS content and LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ ratio were increased, the expression of Beclin1 was up-regulated, the expression of P62 was down-regulated ( P<0.05), the number of mitophagosomes developed was increased, and the co-expression of LC3-Ⅱwith TOM20 was increased in group DNP.Compared with group DNP, the MWT and mitochondrial membrane potential were significantly increased, the ROS content was decreased, and LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ ratio was increased, the expression of Beclin1 was up-regulated, the expression of P62 was down-regulated ( P<0.05), the number of mitophagosomes developed was increased, and the co-expression of LC3-Ⅱwith TOM20 was increased in group DPR.Compared with group DPR, the MWT and mitochondrial membrane potential were significantly decreased, the ROS content was increased, LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ ratio was decreased, the expression of Beclin1 was down-regulated, the expression of P62 was up-regulated ( P<0.05), the number of mitophagosomes developed was decreased, and the co-expression of LC3-Ⅱ with TOM20 was decreased in group DRC. Conclusions:The mechanism by which curcumin reduces DNP may be related to the up-regulation of mitochondrial autophagy in the spinal cord and improvement in mitochondrial function in mice.

Objegtive:To investigate the efficacy and safety of preemptive/salvage therapy with venetoclax (VEN) in patients with recurrence after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) .Methods:Retrospective analysis the clinical data of 25 patients with minimal residual disease (MRD) positive or morphological recurrence after allo-HSCT treated with VEN in the hematological Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from 2021.2 to 2021.11, there were 15 MRD positive patients (preemptive treatment group) and 10 morphological recurrence patients (salvage treatment group) . The dose of VEN in both groups was 400 mg/d, which was reduced to 100 mg/d when combined with azole antifungal drugs.Results:①In the preemptive group, there were 7 males and 8 females, with a median age of 32 (18-52) years; There were 13 cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) , 1 case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and 1 case of primary myelofibrosis (PMF) ; the median time from MRD positive to the application of VEN was 2.5 (0-12.5) months. The median course of treatment was 2 (1-4) . On the 7th day of the first course of treatment, the median concentration of VEN was 1945 (688-5383) μg/L. After one course of VEN treatment, MRD in 8 patients turned negative (major responses) , MRD in 4 patients decreased by 50% compared with that before treatment, 3 cases were ineffective, and the overall response rate (ORR) was 80% (12/15) . On the 7th day of treatment, 3 of the 9 patients with VEN blood concentration <1 000 μg/L or >3 000 μg/L turned negative for MRD (33.3%) , and 5 of the 6 patients with VEN blood concentration between 1000 and 3000 μg/L turned negative for MRD (83.3%) . Grade 3/4 neutropenia occurred in 5 patients (33%) and grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia occurred in 5 patients (33%) , there were no new cases of severe infection and death. ②In the salvage group, there were 7 males and 3 females, with a median age of 44 (28-59) years; there were 6 cases of AML, 2 cases of ALL, 1 case of atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (aCML) , 1 case of refractory hemopenia with multiline dysplasia (MDS-RCMD) ; the median time from relapse to application of VEN was 0 (0-1) months. The median treatment was 1 (1-2) course. The median concentration of VEN on the 7th day of the first course of treatment was 2 419 (1 200-6 155) μg/L. After one course of VEN treatment, 3 cases achieved complete remission (CR) (major responses) and 3 cases achieved partial remission (PR) , 4 cases were ineffective and the ORR was 60% (6/10) . On the 7th day of treatment, 1 of the 4 patients with VEN blood concentration >3 000 μg/L achieved CR (25%) , and 2 of the 6 patients with VEN blood concentration between 1 000 and 3 000 μg/L achieved CR (33.3%) . Grade 3/4 neutropenia and grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia occurred in 10 patients (100%) . One patient died of severe pulmonary infection. ③The median follow-up was 4.5 (1-8.5) months. The overall survival rate (OS) of the preemptive group and the salvage group were (70.2±12.7) % and (50.0± 15.8) %, respectively ( χ2=1.873, P=0.171) . The OS of patients with and without primary response to one course of VEN were (90.9±8.7) % and (36.2±14.7) % respectively ( χ2=6.843, P=0.009) . Three patients with TP53 mutation achieved the major responses after VEN treatment. Conclusion:Preemptive/salvage therapy with VEN after allo-HSCT in patients with hematological malignancies is effective and well tolerated, monitoring the concentration of VEN is expected to improve the curative effect. The prognosis of patients who fail to reach the major responses after one course of preemptive/salvage treatment with VEN is poor, so they need to switch to other treatment schemes as soon as possible.

Objective:To investigate the long term efficacy and side effects of a donor-derived CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell (HI19α-4-1BB-ζ CAR-T) therapy in the treatment of patients with relapsed B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) .Methods:A total of 9 subjects with relapsed B-ALL post allo-HSCT received donor-derived CD19 CAR-T therapy from July 2017 to May 2020. All subjects were infused with donor CD3-positive T cells after lymphodepletion chemotherapy, and a median dose of CAR-T cells was 1.79 (range, 0.86-3.53) ×10 6/kg. Results:①All subjects achieved complete remission and MRD-negative at 28-42 d post CAR-T cells infusion. ②Cytokine releasing syndrome (CRS) occurrd in all subjects and was grade 3 in 2, grade 2 in 4, grade 1 in 3 cases respectively. Four subjects developed immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) , which was grade 2 in 1, grade 1 in 3. One subject developed grade IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) , and side effects were all controllable. ③Four subjects relapsed at a median period of 8.6 (4.6-19.3) months, 2 subjects died of disease progression after receiving chemotherapy and another one also died of disease progression 14 months after a second transplant, only 1 subject achieved complete remission after CD22 CAR-T cell therapy. Until last follow-up date, 6 subjects were leukemia-free and achieved complete donor chimerism. The estimated 1-year and 2-year leukemia-free survival (LFS) rate was 63.5% and 50.8%, with a median LFS of 18.1 months. ④After a median follow-up of 25.1 (range, 6.9-36.7) months, the estimated 2-year and 2.5-year OS rate were 87.5% and 52.5%, respectively.Conclusion:The donor-derived CD19 CAR-T cell therapy obtain a high remission rate in relapsed B-ALL patients post allo-HSCT with tolerable side effects, half subjects survived more than 2 years without disease recurrence, though long-term efficacy requires further observation.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of syngeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the treatment of aplastic anemia.Methods:The clinic data of 11 patients with aplastic anemia undergoing syngeneic HSCT were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among all of the 11 patients with AA, 4 males and 7 females were determined, with a median age of 22 (7-44) years old. All of the 11 patients achieved engraftment after the first transplantation: neutrophils engraftment occurred after a median of 10 days (range 8-23) , and platelet engraftment occurred after a median of 11 days (range 8-28) . Eight patients achieved long-term stable engraftment: three patients had graft failure, and two of them underwent secondary transplantation (1 case achieved long-term stable engraftment, but graft failure occurred again after hematopoietic reconstruction in another case) . The median follow-up time was 53 (5-135) months. All of the 11 patients survived, and the blood routine of 9 patients was normal for a long time.Conclusion:Syngeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has a good long-term survival rate in the treatment of aplastic anemia, and graft failure is still the most significant problem.

Objective:To evaluate the outcomes and prognostic factors of adults with acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplastic-related changes (AML-MRC) who received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) . The genetic mutation lineage of patients with AML-MRC and the molecular mutation affecting the transplantation prognosis was discussed.Methods:The clinical data of 75 patients with AML-MRC who underwent allo-HACT from 2006 to 2020 were retrospectively analyzed for clinical characteristics, survival, relapse-related indicators, and risk factors affecting transplantation prognosis. Additionally, the clinical characteristics and prognosis of multilineage dysplasia (M) group, history of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or myelodysplastic syndrome/myelodysplastic proliferative tumor (MDS/MPN) (H) group, and MDS related cytogenetic abnormalities (C) group were compared. The bone marrow of 43 patients underwent targeting second-generation sequencing (137 genes) .Results:①There were 41 males and 34 females with a median age of 41 (18-56) years, a median follow-up time of 35 (95% CI 30-49) months, and a median survival time (OS) of 78 (95% CI 23-) months. Three-year OS and event-free survival (EFS) were 57.1% (95% CI 45.6%-71.4%) and 52.0% (95% CI 40.8%-66.1%) . Also, the three-year cumulative recurrence rate (CIR) and transplant-related mortality rate (TRM) were 26.8% (95% CI 16.6%-30.0%) and 22.7% (95% CI 13.2%-33.8%) , respectively. Furthermore, multivariate analysis revealed that pre-transplant non-CR1 status was an independent risk factor for OS and EFS. Other independent risk factors for OS included abnormal karyotype of -5/5q- chromosome and the absence of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) after transplantation. ②Among the 75 patients, 59 (78.7%) were in group H, 20 had received demethylation drugs before turning to AML and nine cases (12.0%) in group C and seven cases (9.3%) in group M. There was no significant difference in the three-year OS and EFS among the three groups[group M vs H vs C: OS: 71.4% (95% CI 44.7%-100.0%) vs 55.0% (95% CI 41.8%-72.5%) vs 55.6% (95% CI 31.0%-99.7%) , P=0.700; EFS: 71.4% (95% CI 44.7%-100.0%) vs 46.5% (95% CI 34.0%-63.8%) vs 55.6% (95% CI 31.0%-99.7%) , P=0.600]. Compared with primary and secondary AML-MRC, there was no statistically significant difference in the three-year OS and EFS[61.9% (95% CI 41.9%-91.4%) vs 55.0% (95% CI 41.8%-72.5%) , P=0.600; 61.9% (95% CI 41.9%-91.4%) vs 46.5% (95% CI 34.0%-63.8%) , P=0.400]. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in the time to AML between patients who received demethylation treatment before (20 cases) and those who did not (39 cases) [195 (16-937) d vs 162 (9-3167) d, P=0.804]. Moreover, there were no statistically significant differences in the three-year OS and EFS between the two groups ( P=0.400, P=0.700) . ③ NGS test was performed on bone marrow samples of 43 patients (57.3%) , and 73 mutation types were found. Additionally, U2AF1 had the highest mutation incidence (11 cases, 25.6%) , and more than 10% were found: RUNX1 (ten cases, 23.3%) , NRAS (ten cases, 23.3%) , ASXL1 (six cases, 14.0%) , PTPN11 (five cases, 11.6%) , TET2 (five cases, 11.6%) . Univariate analysis showed U2AF1[ P=0.875, HR=1.110 (95% CI 0.295-4.195) ], RUNX1[ P=0.685, HR=0.728 (95% CI 0.157-3.375) ], NRAS[ P=0.919, HR=0.923 (95% CI 0.196-4.334) ] mutation did not affect OS. Conclusion:Chromosome abnormality of -5/5q-, cGVHD, and non-CR1 status before transplantation were independent risk factors for OS in patients with allo-HSCT and AML-MRC. Additionally, the MHC subgroup classification was not a factor affecting the prognosis of transplantation. Treatment with demethylated drugs may not delay MDS turning to AML and prolong the OS after transplantation.

Objective:To investigates the relationship between CYP3A5 gene polymorphism, tacrolimus concentration, and acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) .Methods:A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 35 Chinese adult patients who received allo-HSCT from July 2019 to February 2020 was conducted. Also, bone marrow samples were collected before transplantation for CYP3A5 genotyping, and intravenous infusion of tacrolimus and a short course of methotrexate (MTX) ± mycophenolate were used to prevent GVHD. The initial concentration was monitored on the second or third day of tacrolimus administration, followed by 2-3 times a week. The drug dose was adjusted according to the target blood concentration (10-15 ng/ml) .Results:In 16 allo-HSCT patients with CYP3A5 *3/*3 gene, the initial concentration of tacrolimus (9.82 ng/ml vs 8.53 ng/ml) , the initial concentration/dose (C/D) ratio (5.72 ng·ml -1·mg -1vs 4.26 ng·ml -1·mg -1) , and the median C/D ratio in the first two weeks after HSCT (5.29 ng·ml -1·mg -1vs 4.61 ng·ml -1·mg -1, 5.65 ng·ml -1·mg -1vs 4.56 ng·ml -1·mg -1) were significantly higher than in 19 patients with at least one CYP3A5 * 1 allele ( P=0.028, 0.001, 0.037, 0.045) . The incidence of Ⅲ-Ⅳ aGVHD in patients with CYP3A5*1 alleles was higher than in patients with CYP3A5*3/*3 gene[ (26.3±10.1) % vs (6.2±6.1) %, P=0.187]. Conclusion:CYP3A5 genotype-directed administration may help achieve the target blood concentration of tacrolimus after HSCT more quickly, reduce the incidence of severe aGVHD, and improve the efficacy of transplantation.
