[Treatment of acute host-versus-graft reaction in patients after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation with multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells from a bone marrow donor].

Aim: To evaluate the efficiency of administration of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells obtained from a bone marrow donor for the treatment of an acute host-versus-graft reaction (HVGR) resistant to therapy with glucocorticosteroids (GCS).

Subjects And Methods: The experience in treating 6 patients with GCS-resistant acute HVGR following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is given. The patients were intravenously injected cultured multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MMSC) in a dose of 10(6) per kg body weight.

[Thromboelastographic characteristics of different infusion therapy regimens in healthy bone marrow donors].

Infusion solutions are able to change the hemostatic system. Thromboelastography (TEG) is an integral technique to evaluate the hemostatic system. TEG was used to evaluate the effect of three infusion solutions (6% hydroxyexyethyl starch (HES) 200/0.

[Results of the treatment of adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia according to ALL-2005 protocol as a basis for new trials].

Aim: To analyse the results of the treatment according to ALL-2005 protocol for adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL); on the basis of the summarized evidence on ALL treatment to propose principles for development of a new program of ALL treatment in 15-55-year-old patients.

Material And Methods: Five hematological centers (in Moscow, Saransk, Volgograd, Tambov, Kirov) participated in ALL-2005 protocol trial initiated in 2005. A total of 71 adult patients with ALL (age median 27 years) were treated.

[Transplantations of allogenic and autologous hemopoietic stem cells in acute leukemia (results of 20-year experience)].

Aim: To analyse results of transplantation of allogenic and autologous hemopoietic stem cells (allo-THSC and auto-THSC) with myeloablation preconditioning in patients with acute leukemia (AL) performed in 1987-2006.

Material And Methods: A total of 71 allogenic and 45 autologous THSC were performed in 116 patients with different AL variants. Conditioning in all allo-THSC included busulfan (16 mg/kg) and cyclophosphamide (120 mg/kg).
