[Comparison of umbilical cord blood transplantation and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from HLA-matched sibling donors in the treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome-EB or acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia-related changes].
Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy of umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from HLA-matched sibling donors (MSD-HSCT) in the treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome-EB (MDS-EB) or acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia-related changes (AML-MRC). Methods: A cohort of 64 patients (including 38 cases of MDS-EB and 26 cases of AML-MRC) who received UCBT/MSD-HSCT from February 2011 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. ⋯ The cumulative 3-year incidence of GVHD-free and relapse-free survival (GRFS) of UCBT group was significantly higher than of MSD-HSCT group [55.0% (95%CI 36.0%-70.6%) vs 28.6% (95%CI 13.5%-45.6%) , P=0.038]. Conclusion: UCBT could obtain better quality of life after transplantation than MSD-HSCT in treatment of MDS-EB/AML-MRC.

[Chimeric antigen receptors T cells for treatment of 48 relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia children: long term follow-up outcomes].
Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of chimeric antigen receptors T cells (CAR-T) in childhood acute B lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) to probe the prognosis-related factors. Methods: Forty-eight children, 29 boys and 19 girls, aged 3-17years old (median age was 8 years old) , with recurrent or refractory CD19 positive B-ALL, were treated by the CD19 specific CAR-T cells. A total of 48 cases received 61 infusions. ⋯ Conclusion: The fourth generation CAR-T cells directed against CD19 could effectively and safely treat relapsed and refractory B-ALL, which implicated that CAR-T therapy as a novel therapeutic approach could be useful for patients with relapsed or refractory B-ALL who have failed all other treatment options. Reducing MRD as far as possible by effective pretreatment chemotherapy was in favor of increasing the response rate. Bridging HSCT after CAR-T cell treatment might be a better therapeutic strategy for the patient with refractory or molecular relapsed B-ALL.

[Efficacy and safety of CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T cells for the treatment of 22 patients with B-cell lymphoma].
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) lymphocytes for the treatment of B cell lymphoma. Methods: A total of 22 patients with B-cell lymphoma from February 1, 2017 to July 1, 2018 were reviewed to evaluate the efficacy and adverse reactions of CD19 CAR-T. Results: Of 22 patients with B-cell lymphoma received CD19 CAR-T cells, the median dose of CAR-T cells was 7.2 (2.0-12.0) ×106/kg. ⋯ Conclusions: CAR-T cell therapy not only played a role in the rescue treatment of relapsed and refractory patients, but also produced a surprising effect in the consolidation and maintenance of B-cell lymphoma. CD19 CAR-T cells might be more effective in the treatment of MRD positive B-cell lymphoma patients than in the refractory or relapsed cases. High response rate was observed with fewer adverse reactions.

[Clinical features and risk factors of hemorrhagic cystitis after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation].
Objective: To explore the relative risk factors, clinical intervention and prognosis of hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) in patients with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Methods: From January 1 2010 to May 31 2017, 425 patients with allo-HSCT received a retrospective analysis. Results: ①Among the 425 patients, 262 were male and 163 were female. ⋯ There were 138 cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) , 96 cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) , 29 cases of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) , 98 cases of severe aplastic anemia (SAA) and 64 cases of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) . 221 cases of sibling match transplantation, 89 cases of unrelated donor transplantation and 115 cases of haplotype transplantation. ②108 patients (25.41%) developed HC, with the median time of onset of 32 (3-243) days and the median duration of 20 (3-93) days; 33 cases (30.56%) were grade Ⅰ, 49 cases of grade Ⅱ (45.36%) , 21 cases (19.44%) of grade Ⅲ, and 5 cases (4.63%) of grade Ⅳ. ③103 cases of HC were cured, 5 patients were ineffective, 12 patients died and died of transplantation related complications (infection, recurrence, severe acute GVHD, secondary implant failure) . ④Univariate analysis showed that age < 30, type of transplantation, CMV and acute GVHD were associated with the occurrence of HC after allo-HSCT. Multivariate analysis showed that acute GVHD was an independent risk factor for HC after allo-HSCT. Conclusion: Prognosis of HC after allo-HSCT was better after timely treatment.

[Efficacy and safety of decitabine in combination with G-CSF, low-dose cytarabine and aclarubicin in MDS-EB and AML-MRC].
Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of decitabine in combination with lower-dose CAG regimen (G-CSF, cytarabine and aclarubicin; D-CAG regimen) in the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes with excess blasts (MDS-EB) and acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia-related changes (AML-MRC), compared to standard CAG regimen. Methods: A total of 42 patients with newly diagnosed MDS-EB and AML-MRC from May 2011 to March 2017 were included in the retrospective study. 21 cases were initially treated with G-CSF for priming, in combination with cytarabine of 10 mg/m(2) q12h for 14 days and aclarubicin of 20 mg/d for 4 days (CAG regimen) and the other 21 cases were initially treated with decitabine of 20 mg/m(2) for 5 days and lower-dose CAG regimen (cytarabine of 10 mg/m(2) q12h for 7 days, aclarubicin of 10 mg/d for 4 days, and G-CSF for priming (D-CAG regimen). After two cycles of induction chemotherapy, the patients who obtained complete remission(CR) received consolidation chemotherapy or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). ⋯ The cumulative probabilities of 12 months OS for non-HSCT patients in D-CAG group and CAG group were (90.9±8.7)% and (61.5±13.5)% respectively, without significant difference (χ(2)=1.840, P=0.175). The incidences of side effects between D-CAG group and CAG group did not show significant differences (P=0.479), and the main side effects included cytopenias, pneumonia, infections of skin and soft tissues, neutropenic patients with fever, liver dysfunction. Conclusion: The decitabine in combination with lower-dose CAG regimen improved CR for patients with MDS-EB and AML-MRC, and was a promising choice.
