This study was designed to further evaluate its status in the combined modality treatment, especially, to discuss its value in the primary treatment of the patients who had advanced disease with poor prognostic factors. Methods: Eleven patients who had advanced or relapsed disease with poor prognostic factors were enrolled in this study. Among them, 9 cases had primary treatment, and 2 cases had secondary treatment; one patient received autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT), and 10 patients received autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (APBSCT). After induction treatment 4 cases achieved complete response (CR) and 7 cases achieved partial response (PR). High dose chemotherapy combined with total body irradiation (TBI) or total lymph node irradiation (TLI)/subtotal lymph node irradiation (STLI) were adopted in 7 cases and only high dose chemotherapy were adopted in 4 cases as the transplant preparative regimens. 5 cases received complementary irradiation in the primary sites after transplant. Results: The patients who had CR before transplantation were given consolidative therapy. Among the rest with PR, 2 cases achieved CR, 1 case PR, and 4 cases SD. Furthermore all these patients who maintained SD had bone involvement. With a median follow-up for all patients of 13(1-80) months, all of them are alive currently. Four cases are event-free survival (EFS); 4 cases with bone involvement are progression-free survival (PFS); 3 cases experienced relapse after transplant, one of them is EFS for 42 months again after a local relapsed site irradiation; the other two cases are being given further salvaged treatment now. According to the Life Tables method, the cumulative probability of 6-year PFS and OS is 55.68% and 100% respectively. The dominating transplant- related toxicity was bone marrow suppression in grades IV. No obvious cardiac, hepatic, and nephritic toxicity was found. No transplant related mortality. Conclusion: HDT combined with ASCT is a method worthwhile to further study for the treatment of the patients with advanced or relapsed Hodgkin抯 Lymphoma with poor prognostic factors.展开更多

Methods: We relxospectively analyzed the data from 41 patients with chemotherapy-sensitive LL who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from December 1989 to December 2009 in a single institution. Results: HSCT was conducted as first-line consolidation therapy and salvage therapy in 36 and 5 patients, respectively. The median follow-up was 97.1 months (range, 24.6-173.1 months). The 5-year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) rate were 64% and 47% for the initially treated patients, respectively, and were both 20% for the relapsed ones. Bone marrow (BM) involvement and chemotherapy cycles prior to transplantation were identified as significant prognostic factors for EFS in multivariate analysis. Conclusions These results confirm that AHSCT is a reasonable option for chemotherapy-sensitive LL patients in first complete remission (CR1).展开更多

Here, we report the value of 18 FFDG PET/CT pre-and post-HSCT in predicting outcomes of patients with DLBCL.Methods: DLBCL patients who had PET/CT scan before and after HSCT were included. PET results were interpreted based upon Deauville criteria. The prognostic value of 18 F-FDG PET/CT in auto-HSCT was evaluated.Results: Eighty-four patients were enrolled. In univariate analysis, pre-and post-HSCT PET findings were correlated with 3-year progression-free survival(PFS) [hazard ratio(HR)=4.391, P=0.001; HR=7.607, P<0.001] and overall survival(OS)(HR=4.792, P=0.008; HR=26.138, P<0.001). Patients receiving upfront auto-HSCT after firstline treatment had better outcomes than relapsed/refractory DLBCL patients(3-year PFS, P<0.001; 3-year OS,P<0.001). In the relapsed/refractory patients, pre-and post-HSCT PET findings were also associated with 3-year PFS(P=0.003 vs. P<0.001) and OS(P=0.027 vs. P<0.001). A significant correlation was observed between clinical response to chemotherapy before auto-HSCT and outcomes of patients in the entire cohort(3-year PFS, P<0.001;3-year OS, P<0.001) and in the subgroup of 21 patients with positive pre-HSCT PET(3-year PFS, P=0.084; 3-year OS, P=0.240). A significant association between survival and post-HSCT PET findings was observed in multivariate analysis(HR=5.168, P<0.001).Conclusions: PET results before and after HSCT are useful prognostic factors for DLBCL patients receiving HSCT. Patients who responded to chemotherapy, even those with positive pre-HSCT PET, are appropriate candidates for auto-HSCT.展开更多

The purposes of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of preparative regimen BEAC and hematopoietic reconsti- tution after high dose chemotherapy in Chinese patients with advanced and recurrent lymphoma. Methods: After confirmed complete or partial remission from conventional chemotherapy, 24 patients with advanced or recurrent lymphoma including 1 recurrent HD and 23 NHL, 16 male and 8 female with median age of 29 (13-50) years, were enrolled into this study and treated by BEAC regimen (CTX 3600-4000 mg/m2, VP-16 1200 mg/m2. BCNU 300 mg/m2 and Ara-C 1500-2000 mg/m2). 3 patients were supported by ABMT and 21 by APBSCT. Mobilization regimen for APBSCT was CTX 3500 mg/m2 + G-CSF 3.5-5 mg/kg + Dexamethasone 10 mg. Autologous hematopoietic stem cells was re-infused 24-48 h after completion of high dose chemotherapy. Results: MNC 1.3 (1.0-1.7) 108/kg and MNC 1.8 (1.0-4.4) 108, CFU-GM 5.1 (1.9-9.6) 105/kg plus CD34 + cells 2.9 (1.9-8.7) 106/kg were re-infused in the ABMT group and APBSCT group respectively. All patients obtained prompt and sustained hematopoietic reconstitution. ANC 0.5 109/L and Pt 2.0 109/L were at day 9 (6-17) and day 10 (0-31) respectively. 16 patients were alive with median 21 (2-69) months follow-up till end of May, 2001. 1, 2 and 3 years survival rate were 60.5%, 50.1% and 50.1%, respectively. Non-hematologic toxicity was mild and tolerable. Conclusions: High dose chemotherapy supported by AHSCT in the treatment of previously-untreated poor- prognostic and recurrent lymphoma was a safe and effective modality. Further investigation was warranted.展开更多

The aim of this study was to assess the clinical effect of immune intervention combined with AHST and conventional insulin therapy in the treatment of children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes. Methods This 1:2 matched case-control study was comprised of 42 children who were newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the Department of Endocrinology, Beijing Children's Hospital from 2009-2010. The case group included 14 patients, who were treated with AHST within the first 3 months after being diagnosed with diabetes at request of their parents during 2009-2010. The control group included 28 patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes at the same period of hospitalization. We compared the baseline and follow-up data of them, including ketoacidosis onset, clinical variables (glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc), insulin dosage and serum C-peptide). Results The clinical characteristics of the patients was comparable between the case group and the control group. At 6-12 months ((10.7±4.2) months) after AHST treatment, we found 11 patients in the case group did not stop the insulin therapy, three cases stopped insulin treatment for 2, 3 and 11 months, respectively. No diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) occurred after transplantation in all the patients in the case group. HbAlc in the control group was significant lower than that in the case group (P 〈0.01), while the insulin dosage and serum C-peptide were not significant different between the two groups (P 〉0.05). In order to eliminate the honeymoon effect, we performed final follow-up at the 3-5 years ((4.2±1.8) years) after AHST treatment, and found that HbAlc in the control group was still lower than that in the case group (P 〈0.01); however, the insulin dosage and serum C-peptide were not significantly different between the two groups (P 〉0.05). Moreover, the insulin dosage was not significant different from baseline to follow-up period in the case group. Conclusion AHST treatment showed no advantage in effectiveness in children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes, both in insulin dose and long term blood glucose control.

In the last decade the introduction of novel agents such as immunomodulatory drugs(IMi Ds) and proteasome inhibitors(PI), has dramatically changed the therapeutic scenario of this yet incurable disease. Due to the impressive results achieved with IMi Ds and PI both in terms of response rates and in terms of progression free and overall survival, and to the toxicity linked to high dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation(ASCT), a burning question nowadays is whether all young patients should be offered autotransplanta-tion up front or if this should be reserved for the time of relapse. This article provides a review of the data available regarding ASCT in MM and of the current opinion of the scientific community regarding its optimal timing.展开更多

文摘Objective: High dose therapy (HDT) with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has become one of the important salvage treatments for the Hodgkin抯 Lymphoma patients with relapsed or resistant disease, but its role as the primary treatment remains indefinite. This study was designed to further evaluate its status in the combined modality treatment, especially, to discuss its value in the primary treatment of the patients who had advanced disease with poor prognostic factors. Methods: Eleven patients who had advanced or relapsed disease with poor prognostic factors were enrolled in this study. Among them, 9 cases had primary treatment, and 2 cases had secondary treatment; one patient received autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT), and 10 patients received autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (APBSCT).

文摘Objective: The study evaluated the effectiveness of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) in the treatment of lymphoblastic lymphoma (LL). Methods: We relxospectively analyzed the data from 41 patients with chemotherapy-sensitive LL who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from December 1989 to December 2009 in a single institution. Results: HSCT was conducted as first-line consolidation therapy and salvage therapy in 36 and 5 patients, respectively. The median follow-up was 97.1 months (range, 24.6-173.1 months). The 5-year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) rate were 64% and 47% for the initially treated patients, respectively, and were both 20% for the relapsed ones. Bone marrow (BM) involvement and chemotherapy cycles prior to transplantation were identified as significant prognostic factors for EFS in multivariate analysis. Conclusions These results confirm that AHSCT is a reasonable option for chemotherapy-sensitive LL patients in first complete remission (CR1).

Here, we report the value of 18 FFDG PET/CT pre-and post-HSCT in predicting outcomes of patients with DLBCL.Methods: DLBCL patients who had PET/CT scan before and after HSCT were included. PET results were interpreted based upon Deauville criteria. The prognostic value of 18 F-FDG PET/CT in auto-HSCT was evaluated.Results: Eighty-four patients were enrolled. In univariate analysis, pre-and post-HSCT PET findings were correlated with 3-year progression-free survival(PFS) [hazard ratio(HR)=4.391, P=0.001; HR=7.607, P<0.001] and overall survival(OS)(HR=4.792, P=0.008; HR=26.138, P<0.001). Patients receiving upfront auto-HSCT after firstline treatment had better outcomes than relapsed/refractory DLBCL patients(3-year PFS, P<0.001; 3-year OS,P<0.001). In the relapsed/refractory patients, pre-and post-HSCT PET findings were also associated with 3-year PFS(P=0.003 vs. P<0.001) and OS(P=0.027 vs. P<0.001). A significant correlation was observed between clinical response to chemotherapy before auto-HSCT and outcomes of patients in the entire cohort(3-year PFS, P<0.001;3-year OS, P<0.001) and in the subgroup of 21 patients with positive pre-HSCT PET(3-year PFS, P=0.084; 3-year OS, P=0.240). A significant association between survival and post-HSCT PET findings was observed in multivariate analysis(HR=5.168, P<0.001).Conclusions: PET results before and after HSCT are useful prognostic factors for DLBCL patients receiving HSCT. Patients who responded to chemotherapy, even those with positive pre-HSCT PET, are appropriate candidates for auto-HSCT.

文摘Objective: High dose chemotherapy supported by autologous hematopoietic stem cells transplantation (AHSCT) has developed dramaticly in recent years and become the most effective approach to improve radical treatment for the chemo-sensitive lymphoma. The purposes of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of preparative regimen BEAC and hematopoietic reconsti- tution after high dose chemotherapy in Chinese patients with advanced and recurrent lymphoma. Methods: After confirmed complete or partial remission from conventional chemotherapy, 24 patients with advanced or recurrent lymphoma including 1 recurrent HD and 23 NHL, 16 male and 8 female with median age of 29 (13-50) years, were enrolled into this study and treated by BEAC regimen (CTX 3600-4000 mg/m2, VP-16 1200 mg/m2. BCNU 300 mg/m2 and Ara-C 1500-2000 mg/m2). 3 patients were supported by ABMT and 21 by APBSCT. Mobilization regimen for APBSCT was CTX 3500 mg/m2 + G-CSF 3.5-5 mg/kg + Dexamethasone 10 mg. Autologous hematopoietic stem cells was re-infused 24-48 h after completion of high dose chemotherapy. Results: MNC 1.3 (1.0-1.7) 108/kg and MNC 1.8 (1.0-4.4) 108, CFU-GM 5.1 (1.9-9.6) 105/kg plus CD34 + cells 2.9 (1.9-8.7) 106/kg were re-infused in the ABMT group and APBSCT group respectively. All patients obtained prompt and sustained hematopoietic reconstitution. ANC 0.5 109/L and Pt 2.0 109/L were at day 9 (6-17) and day 10 (0-31) respectively. 16 patients were alive with median 21 (2-69) months follow-up till end of May, 2001. 1, 2 and 3 years survival rate were 60.5%, 50.1% and 50.1%, respectively. Non-hematologic toxicity was mild and tolerable. Conclusions: High dose chemotherapy supported by AHSCT in the treatment of previously-untreated poor- prognostic and recurrent lymphoma was a safe and effective modality. Further investigation was warranted.
文摘Crohn's disease(CD)is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract.The etiology of CD is unknown;however,genetic,epigenetic,environmental,and lifestyle factors could play an essential role in the onset and establishment of the disease.CD results from immune dysregulation due to loss of the healthy symbiotic relationship between host and intestinal flora and or its antigens.It affects both sexes equally with a male to female ratio of 1.0,and its onset can occur at any age,but the diagnosis is most commonly observed in the range of 20 to 40 years of age.CD diminishes quality of life,interferes with social activities,traumatizes due to the stigma of incontinence,fistulae,strictures,and colostomies,and in severe cases,affects survival when compared to the general population.Symptoms fluctuate between periods of remission and activity in which complications such as fistulas,strictures,and the need for bowel resection,surgery,and colostomy implantation make up the most severe aspects of the disease.CD can be progressive and the complications recurrent despite treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs,corticosteroids,immunosuppressants,and biological agents.However,over time many patients become refractory without treatment alternatives,and in this scenario,hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT)has emerged as a potential treatment option.The rationale for the use of HSCT for CD is anchored in animal studies and human clinical trials where HSCT could reset a patient's immune system by eliminating disease-causing effector cells and upon immune recovery increase regulatory and suppressive immune cells.Autologous HSCT using a non-myeloablative regimen of cyclophosphamide and anti-thymocyte globulin without CD34+selection has been to date the most common transplant conditioning regimen adopted.In this review we will address the current situation regarding CD treatment with HSCT and emphasize the medical,ethical,and legal aspects that permeate the procedure in Brazil.
文摘Background It has been indicated that autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHST) is a promising treatment to adults with type 1 diabetes, however, the application of AHST therapy to children with type 1 diabetes still needs more data. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical effect of immune intervention combined with AHST and conventional insulin therapy in the treatment of children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes. Methods This 1:2 matched case-control study was comprised of 42 children who were newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the Department of Endocrinology, Beijing Children's Hospital from 2009-2010. The case group included 14 patients, who were treated with AHST within the first 3 months after being diagnosed with diabetes at request of their parents during 2009-2010. The control group included 28 patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes at the same period of hospitalization. We compared the baseline and follow-up data of them, including ketoacidosis onset, clinical variables (glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc), insulin dosage and serum C-peptide). Results The clinical characteristics of the patients was comparable between the case group and the control group. At 6-12 months ((10.7±4.2) months) after AHST treatment, we found 11 patients in the case group did not stop the insulin therapy, three cases stopped insulin treatment for 2, 3 and 11 months, respectively. No diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) occurred after transplantation in all the patients in the case group. HbAlc in the control group was significant lower than that in the case group (P 〈0.01), while the insulin dosage and serum C-peptide were not significant different between the two groups (P 〉0.05). In order to eliminate the honeymoon effect, we performed final follow-up at the 3-5 years ((4.2±1.8) years) after AHST treatment, and found that HbAlc in the control group was still lower than that in the case group (P 〈0.01); however, the insulin dosage and serum C-peptide were not significantly different between the two groups (P 〉0.05). Moreover, the insulin dosage was not significant different from baseline to follow-up period in the case group. Conclusion AHST treatment showed no advantage in effectiveness in children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes, both in insulin dose and long term blood glucose control.

文摘Objective To evaluate the efficacy of auto-HSCT and allo-HSCT in the treatment of high risk peripheral T cell lymphoma(PTCL).Methods From July 2007 to July 2014,60 cases of high risk PTCL were analyzed retrospectively.Results All 60 patients were at high risk group(carried with IPI≥3),with a median age of
文摘Since the middle of 1990 s autologous stem cell trans-plantation has been the cornerstone for the treatment of young patients with multiple myeloma(MM). In the last decade the introduction of novel agents such as immunomodulatory drugs(IMi Ds) and proteasome inhibitors(PI), has dramatically changed the therapeutic scenario of this yet incurable disease. Due to the impressive results achieved with IMi Ds and PI both in terms of response rates and in terms of progression free and overall survival, and to the toxicity linked to high dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation(ASCT), a burning question nowadays is whether all young patients should be offered autotransplanta-tion up front or if this should be reserved for the time of relapse. This article provides a review of the data available regarding ASCT in MM and of the current opinion of the scientific community regarding its optimal timing.
文摘目的:探讨大剂量美法仑联合自体造血干细胞移植治疗多发性骨髓瘤的安全性、疗效和预后。方法:回顾2020年3月至2022年10月在皖南医学院弋矶山医院血液科进行自体移植一线巩固治疗的17例初诊多发性骨髓瘤患者的临床资料,分析治疗的安全性、疗效和预后。结果:17例患者中,男性10例,女性7例,中位年龄56(45-64)岁。干细胞植入率100%,中性粒细胞中位植入时间为+10(9-12)d,血小板中位植入时间为+12(10-21)d。口腔黏膜炎及肠道感染发生率100%,肺部感染2例,泌尿系感染1例,皮肤感染1例;11例患者发生血清淀粉酶一过性升高。移植后评估13例获得CR以上疗效,CR率较移植前有提高趋势(13/17 vs 8/17;P=0.078)。中位随访18(6-36)个月,15例无进展存活,1例出现疾病进展,1例因临床复发放弃治疗而死亡,2年OS率约90.0%,2年PFS率约83.9%。结论:大剂量美法仑联合自体造血干细胞移植一线巩固治疗多发性骨髓瘤能加深患者缓解深度,进一步提高疗效,而且移植相关并发症可控,值得在临床中推广。
