Objective: To summarize and compare the clinical baseline characteristics of patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), primary light chain amyloidosis (pAL), multiple myeloma (MM), or MM with concurrent amyloidosis, especially the differences in cytogenetic abnormalities.

Methods: The clinical data of 15 cases of MGUS, 34 cases of pAL, 842 cases of MM and 23 cases of MM with concurrent amyloidosis were analyzed and compared retrospectively.

Results: Cytogenetic statistics showed that the incidence of t (11; 14) in the four groups (MGUS vs pAL vs MM vs MM with concurrent amyloidosis) was 0%, 33.

Objective: To observe the efficacy of chemotherapy consisted of bortezomib as main druy in maintenance therapy for recurrence of newly diagnosed MM patients.

Methods: The clinical data and outcome of 37 MM patients during 2008-2013 were analyzed retrospectively, the 37 MM patients were divided into 2 group: 19 cases including 13 cases of newly diagnosed MM with symptoms and 6 cases of relapsed refractory MM were enrolled in group A; 17 cases of newly diagnosed MM with symptoms were enrolled in group B. The patients of group A received maintenance therapy consisted of bortezomib plus dexamethasone (VD group), while the patient group B received maintenance therapy consisted of melphalan plus prednisone(MP group), then the therapeutic efficacy of 2 group was compared.

This study was aimed to summarize and analyze the clinical features and biological characteristics of adult acute T-lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), and compare the efficacy of chemotherapy and transplantation in order to explore the factors influencing the long term survival and prognosis. Twenty-two T-ALL patients, all of whom were initially diagnosed according to MICM classification criteria from May 2000 to May 2010, were enrolled in this study. All patients received VDCLP regimen as the induction chemotherapy.

Objective: To explore the efficacy of imatinib (IM)-based chemotherapy followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) in first complete remission (CR1) for adult Ph(+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia \[Ph(+)-ALL\].

Methods: From March 2006 to December 2010, 16 adult Ph(+)-ALL were enrolled in the study. All patients received IM combined with standard VDCP ± L as induction therapy then intensive consolidation with modified Hyper-CVAD/MA regimen plus IM, and followed by allo-SCT in CR1.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of the percentage of residual blasts in bone marrow at the end of induction chemotherapy (T1) or during myelosuppression phase (T2) on prognosis of de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (non M(3)) in 105 cases. To refine AML risk-stratification by combining the percentage of residual blast cells (T1 or/and T2) with cytogenetic data based the South West Oncology Group (SWOG) criteria.

Methods: The data of 105 de novo AML (non M(3)) patients hospitalized between January 1st 1999 and February 1st 2008 were retrospectively reviewed.
