Report on hematopoietic cell transplantations performed in 2018/2019 focusing on the trends of selection of stem cell sources in the Asia-Pacific region: APBMT Activity Survey.

Blood Cell Ther

November 2023

Japanese Data Center for Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (JDCHCT), Department of Registry Science for Transplant and Cellular Therapy, Aichi Medical University School of Medicine, Nagakute, Japan.

The number of hematopoietic stem cell transplantations (HCTs) is increasing annually worldwide, and the Asia-Pacific (AP) region is no exception. We report on the absolute number of HCTs in 2018 and 2019 and the trends in graft selection and disease indication in the past few decades. In 2018, 24,292 HCTs were performed in the AP region, of which 8,754 (36.

Article Synopsis
  • The Asia-Pacific Blood and Marrow Transplantation Group (APBMT) has been surveying hematopoietic stem cell transplant activities annually since 2007, collecting data from 21,504 transplants in 2017 across 733 centers in 20 countries/regions.
  • Five countries—China, Japan, South Korea, India, and Australia—accounted for 89.4% of transplants, with Japan and China also hosting the majority of transplant centers.
  • The study revealed significant variations in transplant types between countries, with autologous transplants more common in some regions like Thailand and Australia, while allogeneic transplants dominated in others like Pakistan and China; acute myeloid leukemia was the

Background: Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and pyruvate kinase (PKLR) deficiencies are common causes of erythrocyte haemolysis in the presence of antimalarial drugs such as primaquine and tafenoquine. The present study aimed to elucidate such an association by thoroughly investigating the haematological indices in malaria patients with G6PD and PKLR variants.

Methods: Blood samples from 255 malaria patients from Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia were collected to determine haematological profile, G6PD enzyme activity and G6PD deficiency variants.

Clinical Severity of β-Thalassemia Pediatric Patients in Myanmar.

Hemoglobin

January 2022

Thalassemia Research Center, Institute of Molecular Biosciences, Mahidol University, Nakhon Pathom, Thailand.

β-Thalassemia (β-thal) is highly prevalent in Myanmar, but limited data are available on the molecular basis and the clinical manifestations in Myanmar patients. In this study, we investigated the clinical features and β-globin gene abnormalities in 15 homozygous β-thal and 60 Hb E (: c.79G>A)/β-thal pediatric patients who attended Yangon Children Hospital, the biggest thalassemia day care unit center in Myanmar.
