Methods: 76 patients with newly diagnosed early chronic phase CGL received treatment of merely 1.5 mg/m2 daily HHT for induction remission and long-term maintenance treatment. The apoptosis rate of bone marrow CD34+ cells induced by HHT was assayed with flow cytometer. Results: 86.8% patients achieved CHR, 13.2% patients PHR and 31.8% patients got cytogenetic response in HHT treatment group, which was longer than 31 (8-54) months in hydroxyurea (HU) group (P<0.05). The effect of apoptosis induction HHT was stronger on CGL-CP patients bone marrow CD34+ cells than on normal person bone marrow CD34+ cells. Conclusion: HHT is a very effective drug for remission induction and long-term maintenance treatment in early chronic phase CGL patients.展开更多

Methods： The changes of bone morrow CD34^＋CD7^＋ cells were observed after the treatment of HHT in 23 cases with CGL. The proliferation and apoptosis of CD34^＋CD7^＋ cells treated with HHT in vitro were studied. Results： The proportion of CD34^＋CD7^＋ cells in CGL （0.145±0.021） was higher than that of normal control （0.052±0.013）. The proportion of CD34^＋CD7^＋ cells in patients who got cytogenetic responses to HHT （0.072±0.020） decreased remarkably, but not in those patients who did not got cytogenetic responses to HHT, （0.137±0.023）. the proliferation of CD34^＋ cells was inhibited and the proportion of CD34^＋CD7^＋ cells decreased after cultured with HHT （0.134 in 24 h, 0.126 in 48 h and 0.102 in 72）. The apoptosis rate of CD34^＋CD7^＋ cells was higher than that in CD34^＋CDT cells （35.39%±4.39% versus 24.57%±4.01%, P〈0.05） 72 h after culture with HHT. Conclusion： The proportion of CD34^＋CD7^＋ cells in CGL was higher than that of normal control and HHT may inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of bone marrow CD34^＋CD7^＋ cells.展开更多
