[Advance in the Treatment of Ph Chromosome Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia ---Review].

Abstract　　The curative efficacy of adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph ALL) has been improved substantially with the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, there is no consensus so far on the following issues, which TKIs should be chosen in combination with chemotherapeutic regimens; which regimen of intensive chemotherapy incorporated into TKIs would be more beneficial to patients. The prognosis of the patients with Ph ALL has been so significantly improved by the combinatorial treatment of TKIs and chemotherapy, thus it is necessary to reevaluate the role of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the management of Ph ALL.

[Predicting Therapeutic Response by Lymphocyte Level at 28th Day after DAC Treatment in Patients with MDS].

Objective: To investigate a reliable clinical indication for predicting the therapeutic response of decitabine therapy in the patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).

Methods: The clinical efficacy of decitabine for 55 cases of MDS was analyzed retrospectively. According to the lymphocyte level at d28 after the first time treatment with decitabine, the patients were divided into high lymphocyte level group (H-Lym≥1.

[Lymphocyte Count before First Consolidation Therapy Is A Predictor of Relapse free Survival in Acute Myeloid Leukemia].

Objective: To investigate the effects of absolute lymphocyte count(ALC) before start of the first cycle of consolidation chemotherapy(CC) on the relapse free survival in the patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML), so as to explore a simple and easy method for predicting AML relapse.

Methods: The clinical data of 132 patients with newly diagnosed AML (all non-acute promyelotic leukemia) from 2011 to 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. The 132 AML patients were treated with standard induction chemotherapy (IC) and consolidation chemotherapy (CC).

[Efects of Inhibiting miR-155 Expression on the Proliferation and Apoptosis of Leukemia THP-1 Cells].

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of miR-155 inhibitor transfection on the proliferation and apoptosis of THP-1 cells. The miR-155 inhibitor was transfected into THP-1 cells (THP-1I) by using X-treme GENE siRNA transfection reagent. Cells without transfection (THP-1C) and cells with negative transfection (THP-1IC) were used as controls.
