Comparison of microtransplantation,chemotherapy and allogeneic transplantation in post-remission therapy for Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph⁺ ALL) have poor prognosis, and the efficacy of chemotherapy plus tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) followed by mismatched donor stem cell infusion (microtransplantation, MST) has not been determined. We retrospectively summarized 45 patients including 11 undergoing MST with TKIs, 17 receiving allogeneic transplant and 17 undergoing chemotherapy with TKIs. Improved 4-year overall survival rate was observed in the MST group (91%) compared with either transplant group (31%, P = .005) or chemotherapy group (36%, P = .013). The MST group also had higher 2-year and 4-year leukemia-free survival rates (91% and 72%, respectively) compared with either transplant group (33%, P = .005 and 33%, P = .021, respectively) or chemotherapy group (41%, P = .017 and 31%, P = .023, respectively). 2-year and 4-year cumulative incidences of hematologic relapse were lower in the MST group (9% and 28%, respectively) compared with those in the chemotherapy group (56%, P = .025 and 67%, P = .034, respectively). In patients undergoing MST, donor microchimerism was detected (1.07 × 10^-5 to 6.6 × 10^-4 copies from 9 to 1499 days) in 7 patients, and donor/patient-derived HLA*0201/2402⁺WT1⁺CD8⁺ T cells were found from 0.05% to 0.67% in 6 patients. MST may provide a favorable treatment for patients with Ph⁺ ALL.

基于MRI动态图像观察吞咽时器官动度对头颈部肿瘤调强放疗靶区影响

目的 利用MRI技术连续采集头颈部肿瘤患者吞咽时图像,观察并测量软腭、舌、喉的运动规律及最大活动度。方法 随机选取2018年7月-10月在中国医学科学院肿瘤医院接受调强放疗的原发头颈部恶性肿瘤20例患者,其中男17例、女3例,中位年龄58.5岁(28~78岁)。20例患者中鼻咽癌7例,口腔癌3例,口咽癌5例,下咽癌3例,鼻腔鼻旁窦2例。根据AJCC第八版分期Ⅰ-Ⅱ期患者2例,Ⅲ期8例,Ⅳ期10例。结果 吞咽时软腭向上移动移动距离为(1.06±0.31) cm且服从正态分布,向后移动距离为(0.83±0.24) cm且近似正态分布。舌体向后移动距离为(0.77±0.22) cm,且服从正态分布。含压舌板行图像采集患者舌上移位移为0,无压舌板患者舌体中位上移距离为1.23 cm (0.59~1.41 cm)。喉向上移动距离为(1.14±0.22) cm且服从正态分布,向前移动的中位距离为0.4 cm (0.27~0.90 cm)。结论 吞咽运动有可能发生于头颈部肿瘤患者放疗过程中,并引起大体肿瘤体积(GTV)及周围正常组织移动;因此在制定放疗计划时应注意GTV至PGTV的个体化外放距离,以保证肿瘤处方剂量。     

精液中PAI-1含量与精液液化的关系

目的测定精液中纤溶酶原激活物抑制剂-1(plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1,PAI-1)的含量,探讨精液的液化机制。方法分别检测门诊患者1h内不液化精液40例(A组)和1h内液化精液30例(B组)中PAI- 1的含量。结果A组PAI-1含量为(10．25±0．75)ng/ml,B组为(6．46±0．37)ng/ml,A组含量显著高于B组,P＜0．01,差异有统计学意义。精液中PAI-1含量与精液液化时间的相关性r=0．362,P＜0．01,呈正相关。结论精液中PAI-1含量升高,可导致精液液化时间延长,可作为检测精液粘稠度的一个相对指标。

大鼠小肠缺血再灌注后血中NO,SOD浓度及肺中Bax,Bcl-2表达的改变

目的：研究大鼠小肠缺血再灌注后后血中一氧化氮（NO），超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）的浓度变化以及肺组织中Bax,Bcl-2的表达，探讨小肠缺血再灌注后对肺组织的损伤，方法：建立小肠缺血再灌注模型，分对照 ，再灌注后0，30min，1，2h,1,3,7d共8组，于各时点检测血中Bax,Bcl-2的表达情况。结果：大鼠小肠缺血再灌注后NO浓度0min明显升高，2h时降低，随后升高，7d时达高峰，SOD浓度0min明显下降，2h 时升高，随后下降，7d时达最低，Bax,Bcl-2免疫阳性细胞主要位于肺组织中血管内皮细胞和肺泡上皮细胞，再灌注0min,Bax,Bcl-2阳性细胞率增多，30min时Bax,Bcl-2阳性细胞率均升高分别为17．1％和78．1％，Bcl-2表达高于Bax，两者差别显著（P＜0．01），2h时降低，其后升高，7d时阳性细胞率达高峰分别为94．1％和83．4％，Bax表达明显高于Bcl-2，两者差异显著（P＜0．01）。结论：大鼠小肠缺血再灌注后可引起血中NO，SOD的浓度变化和Bax及Bcl-2阳性细胞在肺组织中的表达改变并可能引起肺组织细胞凋亡和损伤。     

组织多肽特异性抗原在原发性肝癌中的临床应用

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical value of serum tissue polypeptide specific antigen (TPS) for primary hepatic cancer in comparison with alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). METHODS: TPS and AFP were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 85 patients with primary hepatic cancer, 19 with metastatic hepatic cancer, 35 with liver cirrhosis, 22 with chronic hepatitis and 50 healthy control subjects. RESULTS: Serum AFP levels were elevated in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma in comparison with that in cholangiocarcinoma patients (P=0.037), but the difference was not significant (P=0.737). Serum TPS levels were significantly correlated with the tumor size (P=0.001), but not with the number of the tumors, portal invasion, extrahepatic metastasis, clinical stage or histological differentiation (P>0.05). A significant correlation was observed between AFP level and tumor size (P=0.028), portal invasion(P=0.005), and histological differentiation (P=0.000). CONCLUSION: TPS alone offers no more clues than AFP for the diagnosis of primary hepatic cancer, though it can be helpful for the diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma. It has only limited clinical utility as a marker for primary hepatic cancer.
