Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognostic influencing factors of adult AML patients with MLL rearrangement.

Methods: Clinical data of 184 adult AML patients with MLL rearrangement treated in our hospital from January 2011 to December 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical features, immunophenotypic characteristics, cytogenetic characteristics, molecular biological characteristics and gene mutation characteristics were recorded, the survival and prognostic influencing factors of patients were analyzed.

Article Synopsis
  • A rare case of a 33-year-old man developed pro-B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) from myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with identified genetic mutation (S1231F) that may influence disease progression but isn't a negative prognostic marker.
  • An analysis of 30 MDS patients showed the majority transformed to ALL within a median of 5.5 months, predominantly male with a median age of 56, and types included MDS-excess blasts and MDS-single lineage dysplasia.
  • The study revealed a 75% complete remission rate with ALL-directed chemotherapy, yet the transformation was linked to a concerning early death rate of 20% among these patients.

Objective: To explore the effect of nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) and thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) gene on proliferation of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) line cells and its mechanism.

Methods: Four interfering sequences of Nrf2 and one negative control sequence were designed and synthesised based on the principle of target sequence of siRNA, then constructed lentivirus vectors, which were transfected into K562 cell lines. The transfection effect was observed by laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM) and flow cytometer (FCM); The depressing effect of siRNA was analyzed by real-time PCR.

This study was aimed to investigate the expression of FLT3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) in pediatric patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and to analyse the clinical features of patients with mutations and the relation of FLT3-ITD with multidrug resistance gene 1 (mdr1). RT-PCR was used to determine the expressions of FIT3-ITD and mdr1 gene in bone marrow samples from 81 new diagnosed pediatric patients with AML, the cytogenetics and immunophenotypes of bone marrow cells were routinely examined. The results indicated that the FLT3-ITDs were detected in 8 out of 81 pediatric patients (9.

In order to explore the security and feasibility of double autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (APBSCT) for treatment of multiple myeloma, a 49 years old female patient with multiple myeloma was therapied with double APBSCT. The first peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) mobilization regimen included CTX 2 g/m(2) x 1d and G-CSF [10 microg/(kgxd)] x 5 d. The conditioning regimen was given melphalan 200 mg/m(2).

The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of non-myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-NST) and its related technologies in hematological malignancies. 26 patients with hematological malignancies (acute leukemia 10, chronic myeloid leukemia 14, multiple myeloma 2) received allo-NST following conditioning regimens with fludarabine/cyclophosphamide/ATG in 14 cases or busulfan or melphalan/cyclophosphamide/ATG in 12 cases prior to infusion of 2 or 3 collections of G-CSF (600 microg/d) or G-CSF (300 microg/d) plus GM-CSF (300 microg/d) mobilized blood stem cell on the fifth day. A combination of cyclosporine A (CsA) and methotrexate (MTX) was administered for GVHD prophylaxis.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers tested a type of stem cell treatment called non-myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-NST) on 26 patients with blood cancers.
  • Most patients (84.62%) successfully accepted the transplant, and only a few experienced serious side effects like graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).
  • The study suggests that allo-NST is a safe and effective way to treat these cancers, but more research is needed on the treatment details.
