ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the influece of early relapse in the era of novel drugs on the prognosis of the patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma(NDMM) and risk factors, and to provide the basis for the early identification of the high-risk patients and guiding the treatment.@*METHODS@#The clinical data of the patients with NDMM admitted to our hospital from November 2011 to May 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether the progression free survival(PFS) was more than 12 months, they were divided into early relapse group(≤12 months) and late relapse group(>12 months). The high-risk factors of the patients in two groups were analyzed, including age, anemia, renal insufficiency, hypercalcemia, increasing of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) level, Extramedullary disease (EMD), International Staging System(ISS) stage, Revised International Staging System (R-ISS) stage, cytogenetic abnormalities(CA) detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH), and treatment efficacy. The meaningful clinical indicators were screened, and multivariate analysis was used to explore the high-risk factors of early relapse.@*RESULTS@#170 patients with NDMM were collected, including 25 cases in early relapse group and 145 cases in late relapse group. The median OS time of the patients in early death group was 20 months, and 140 months in late relapse group by the end of follow-up, there was significant difference in OS of the patients between two groups(P<0.001). Fifteen patients(56.0%)in early relapse group obtained ≥VGPR, and 113(77.9%) patients in late relapse group, the difference was statistically significant(P=0.011). Survival outcomes remained poor among early relapse patients irrespective of depth of response to initial therapy. Multivariate analysis showed that the EMD and high-risk CA predicted early relapse.@*CONCLUSION@#The prognosis of patients with early relapse in NDMM is poor. EMD and high-risk CA is an independent prognostic factor of early relapse.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To analyze the efficacy and prognostic factors of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for treating T lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (T-ALL/LBL) . Methods: This study retrospectively evaluated 119 adolescent and adult patients with T-ALL/LBL from January 2006 to January 2020 at Peking University Third Hospital and Institute of Hematology and Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. Patients were divided into chemotherapy-only, chemotherapy followed by allo-HSCT, and chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) groups according to the consolidation regimen, and the 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates of each group were compared. Results: Among 113 patients with effective follow-up, 96 (84.9%) patients achieved overall response (ORR), with 79 (69.9%) having complete response (CR) and 17 (15.0%) having partial response (PR), until July 2022. The analysis of the 96 ORR population revealed that patients without transplantation demonstrated poorer outcomes compared with the allo-HSCT group (5-year OS: 11.4% vs 55.6%, P=0.001; 5-year PFS: 8.9% vs 54.2%, P<0.001). No difference was found in 5-year OS and 5-year PFS between the allo-HSCT and auto-HSCT groups (P=0.271, P=0.197). The same results were achieved in the CR population. Allo-HSCT got better 5-year OS (37.5% vs 0) for the 17 PR cases (P=0.064). Different donor sources did not affect 5-year OS, with sibling of 61.1% vs hap-haploidentical of 63.6% vs unrelated donor of 50.0% (P>0.05). No significant difference was found in the treatment response in the early T-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (ETP) and non-ETP populations. The ETP group demonstrated lower 5-year OS compared with the non-ETP group in the chemotherapy alone group (0 vs 12.6%, P=0.045), whereas no significant difference was found between the ETP and non-ETP groups in the allo-HSCT group (75.0% vs 62.9%, P=0.852). Multivariate analysis revealed that high serum lactate dehydrogenase level, without transplantation, and no CR after chemotherapy induction were independently associated with inferior outcomes (P<0.05) . Conclusion: Allo-HSCT could be an effective consolidation therapy for adult and adolescent patients with T-ALL/LBL. Different donor sources did not affect survival. Allo-HSCT may overcome the adverse influence of ETP-ALL/LBL on OS.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the expression of PD-L1 and PD-1 in pathological tissue of patients newly diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).@*METHODS@#Data of DLBCL patients who visited the Department of Hematology, Peking University Third Hospital from May 2014 to March 2017 were collected, and a total of 21 patients with pathological tissue sections which were still available at the initial treatment were selected. The patients were divided into complete remission (CR) group and refractory relapse (RR) group according to clinical outcome. The expression and proportion of PD-1 and PD-L1 in pathological tissue sections were detected by multiplex fluorescence immunohistochemical staining, and the differences in the expression of different molecular markers in different clinical characteristics and different prognosis were compared using non-parametric test.@*RESULTS@#The ratio of PD-L1+ cells to PD-1+ cells (PD-L1+ : PD-1+) was 5.14±3.825 in increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) group, which was significantly higher than 0.76±0.563 in non-increased LDH group (P=0.001). The ratio of PD-L1+ : PD-1+ in increased Treg cells group was 1.41±1.454, which was lower than 6.42±4.426 in decreased Treg cells group (P=0.023).@*CONCLUSION@#The increased expression ratio of PD-L1 to PD-1 in pathological tissue sections of newly diagnosed DLBCL patients is associated with poor prognostic clinical characteristics.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the clinical characteristics and treatment outcome of patients with Burkitt lymphoma.@*METHODS@#The clinical data of 27 patients with Burkitt Lymphoma were collected and retrospectively analyzed, the clinical characteristics, laboratory data, survival and the factors affecting the prognosis were also analyzed.@*RESULTS@#Among the 27 patients (mainly for adults), the median age was 30 (15-83) years old, the ratio of male and female was 3.5∶1. There was no EB virus infection in all the patients, 92.6% of the patients showed extranodal organs involvement, 40.7% of them were leukemic stage, 85.2% patients belonged to Ⅲ and Ⅳ stage, 74.1% patients belonged to high/high-middle risk according to IPI index. In the terms of molecular biology, five patients were treated with next-generation sequencing test, and the MYC gene mutations were detected out in alt the patients, and the most common mutations were CCND3, ID3 and TP53. The overall response rate (ORR) for all the patients was 85.2%, the complete response (CR) rate was 63.0%, and the partial response rate was 22.2%, the 5-year progression-free survival rate and overall survival rate of the patients was 76.6% and 76.6%, respectively, which showed that the efficacy of the patients in high-dose methotrexate treatment group was higher than that in the non-high high-dose methotrexate treatment group. For the patients treated with LMB89 chemotherapy, the CR was 78.6%, ORR was 100%, the 5-year survival rate was 92.9%, which was superior to the patients treated with other regimens. Auto-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as consolidation treatment could improve the prognosis for those patients who could not tolerate high-dose chemotherapy. Univariate analysis showed that ECOG score, the level of LDH>500 U/L, WBC level, CNS involvement, short-term effect and LMB89 regimen were the risk factors affecting the prognosis of the patients.@*CONCLUSION@#The adult Burkitt lymphoma are highly aggressive. For the patients in high-dose methotrexate treatment group, especially LMB89 regimen can improve the survival of the patients, and to choose HSCT as a consolidation treatment can be a choice for those patients who could not tolerate high-dose chemotherapy.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the clinical features and prognostic factors of patients with extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma (ENKTL).@*METHODS@#The clinical data of patients with ENKTL from November 2009 to November 2019 was collected and retrospectively analyzed to clarify the clinical features of ENKTL, and evaluate the factors that affected survival and prognosis.@*RESULTS@#Forty-seven patients with ENKTL were collected, median age was 40 (12-82) years old, and more common in males than females, at the ratio of 1.47∶ 1. The median follow-up was 28 (1-112) months, and 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 49.3%. The 5-year OS rates of the subjects with ECOG performance stage 0-1 and ≥2 were 51.6% and 0 (P=0.001), respectively. The 5-year OS rates of International Prognostic Index (IPI) score 0-1 and ≥2 were 60.0% and 40.6% (P=0.027), respectively. The 5-year OS rates of Ann Arbor staging Ⅰ/Ⅱ and stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ were 61.3% and 31.7% (P=0.005), respectively. The 5-year OS rates of the patients with presentation of B symptoms and without presentation of B symptoms were 79.0% and 30.1% (P=0.013), respectively. The 5-year OS rates of plasma EBV-DNA level < 5×10@*CONCLUSION@#ECOG score, B symptoms, the copy number of EBV-DNA, and treatment regimens are independent prognostic factors for OS of patients with ENKTL.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the relationship between Treg cells level in peripheral blood and prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).@*METHODS@#The percentage and absolute value of Treg cells in peripheral blood of DLBCL patients were detected by flow lytometry, and their correlation to prognosis was analyzed by survival analysis. The absolute count of Treg cells was detected by using maximally selected Log-rank statistic, and it was used as cutoff point to distinguish difference survival. The new group of Treg based on cutoff point was combined with age, sex, pathological subtype, risk stratification, treatment plan, and other indicators to include in the single factor survival analysis of Kaplan-Meier. Finally, the COX proportional risk model was used to verify the effect of the above indicators on progression-free survival.@*RESULTS@#The absolute count of Treg cells in DLBCL patients was significantly lower in the disease progressed group than those in the remission group. The cutoff point of absolute value of the Treg cell was 19 cells /μl. The absolute count of Treg cells was an independent prognostic factor of the risk stratification.@*CONCLUSION@#At the beginning of diagnosis, the reduction of the absolute count of Treg cells in peripheral blood of DLBCL patients show a poor prognosis.

ABSTRACT

T lymphoid malignancy is a group of highly heterogeneous hematological tumors. Disease recurrence and resistance to therapy are the common causes of failed treatment. Traditional therapy is radiotherapy and chemotherapy, although it has achieved great success. However, many patients still failed to survive following the treatment. With the introduction of monoclonal antibodies, immunotherapy and cellular therapy into clinical practice, the outcome of hematologic malignancies has been significantly improved. In particular, chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) showed high efficacy in treating B-cell lymphoma and acute B lymphocytic leukemia and surpassed any previous therapeutic strategies. However, this treatment seldom succeeded in treating T cell malignancies. In this review, the history of CAR-T cells treating T cell malignancies, and the clinical trials, adverse events of previously reported were summarized briefly.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND@#Bendamustine was approved in China on May 26th, 2019 by the National Medical Product Administration for the treatment of indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The current study was the registration trial and the first reported evaluation of the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of bendamustine in Chinese adult patients with indolent B-cell NHL following relapse after chemotherapy and rituximab treatment.@*METHODS@#This was a prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase 3 study (NCT01596621; C18083/3076) with a 2-year follow-up period. Eligible patients received bendamustine hydrochloride 120 mg/m2 infused intravenously on days 1 and 2 of each 21-day treatment cycle for at least six planned cycles (and up to eight cycles). The primary endpoint was the overall response rate (ORR); and secondary endpoints were duration of response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS), safety, and pharmacokinetics. Patients were classified according to their best overall response after initiation of therapy. Proportions of patients in each response category (complete response [CR], partial response [PR], stable disease, or progressive disease) were summarized along with a two-sided binomial exact 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the ORR.@*RESULTS@#A total of 102 patients were enrolled from 20 centers between August 6th, 2012, and June 18th, 2015. At the time of the primary analysis, the ORR was 73% (95% CI: 63%-81%) per Independent Review Committee (IRC) including 19% CR and 54% PR. With the follow-up period, the median DoR was 16.2 months by IRC and 13.4 months by investigator assessment; the median PFS was 18.6 months and 15.3 months, respectively. The most common non-hematologic adverse events (AEs) were gastrointestinal toxicity, pyrexia, and rash. Grade 3/4 neutropenia was reported in 76% of patients. Serious AEs were reported in 29 patients and five patients died during the study. Pharmacokinetic analysis indicated that the characteristics of bendamustine and its metabolites M3 and M4 were generally consistent with those reported for other ethnicities.@*CONCLUSION@#Bendamustine is an active and effective therapy in Chinese patients with relapsed, indolent B-cell NHL, with a comparable risk/benefit relationship to that reported in North American patients.@*CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION@#ClinicalTrials.gov, No. NCT01596621; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01596621.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To understand the differences in lymphocyte subsets in patients with different clinical classifications of corona virus disease 19 (COVID-19).@*METHODS@#Eighty-one patients with COVID-19 who were admitted to the isolation ward under the responsibility of three medical aid teams in the Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, from February 8, 2020 to March 28, 2020, were selected to collect clinical data. According to the relevant diagnostic criteria, the disease status of the patients was classified into moderate cases (n=35), severe cases (n=39) and critical cases (n=7) when lymphocyte subset testing was performed. Their blood routine tests, lymphocyte subsets and other indicators were tested to compare whether there were differences in each indicator between the patients of different clinical classification groups.@*RESULTS@#The differences in the absolute count of total lymphocytes, T-lymphocytes, CD4+T-lymphocytes, CD8+T-lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells among the three groups of patients were all statistically significant (P < 0.05), and the critical cases were significantly lower than the moderate and severe cases in the above indicators, and the indicators showed a decreasing trend with the severity of the disease. In 22 patients, the six indicators of the absolute count of T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, CD4+T-lymphocytes, CD8+T-lymphocytes and NK cells, CD4+/CD8+ ratio were all within the normal reference range in the first test, and 59 patients had abnormalities of the above indicators, with the absolute count of NK cells and CD8+ T lymphocytes decreasing most frequently (61%, 56%). The patients with the absolute count of NK cells and CD8+ T lymphocytes below the normal reference range were one group, and the remaining abnormal patients were the other group. There were more critical cases in the former group (moderate : severe : critical cases were 4 : 8 : 7 vs. 19 : 21 : 0, respectively, P=0.001), and all the deaths were in this group (6 cases vs. 0 case, P=0.001). The absolute B lymphocyte count was below the normal reference range in 15 patients, and the remaining 64 cases were within the normal range. The ratio of moderate, severe and critical cases in the reduced group was 4 : 7 : 4, and the ratio of critical cases was more in normal group which was 30 : 31 : 3, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P=0.043).@*CONCLUSION@#The more critical the clinical subtype of patients with COVID-19, the lower the absolute count of each subset of lymphocytes.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To detect the expression levels of FAM19A5 in patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and to determine the relationship between FAM19A5 and the prognosis of MCL patients.@*METHODS@#Twenty-five MCL patients were choosen in the study, cytometric bead assay was used to detected the concentration of FAM19A5 in serum and immunohistochemical analysis were used to detect the expression levels of FAM19A5 in lymph nodes. The relationship of the FAM19A5 expression in serum and tissue were analyzed, the relationship of FAM19A5 and clinical characteristics of MCL patients, treatment and prognosis of MCL patients was analyzed.@*RESULTS@#The average serum concentration of FAM19A5 in MCL patients was 90.55±38.24 (ng/ml), which was significantly higher than that in control (P=0.0461). The proportion of high, medium, and low expression of FAM19A5 in lymph nodes was 32%, 36% and 32%, respectively, which showed significant difference from that in control group (P=0.001). The expression of FAM19A5 in serum and lymph nodes showed significant correlation (r=0.8683,P=0.001). The serum concentration of FAM19A5 showed positive correlation with the proportion of Ki67 (P=0.0222, r=0.4554). The mean survival time without relapse/death of MCL patients with high, middle and low expression of FAM19A5 was 17, 27 and 37.5 months, respectively,which showed significant statistical difference (P=0.0360). ROC curve analysis showed that serum concentration of FAM19A5 could predict the therapeutic effect in MCL patients, the cut-off value was 91.49 ng/ml. The proportion of recurrent/death in AML patients with FAM19A5 >91.49 ng/ml was significantly higher than that in patients with FAM19A5<91.49 ng/ml (P=0.0156).@*CONCLUSION@#The expression level of FAM19A5 is increased in MCL patient, and patients with high expression of FAM19A5 are more likely to relapse or die. FAM19A5 may be a new prognostic marker and potential therapeutic target for MCL.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the significance of various abnormal signal patterns appreared in CML and B-ALL patients by using BCR/ABL/ASS1 tricolor dual-fusion probe, and to explore its application value in detecting BCR/ABL fusion gene and ASS1 gene deletion.@*METHODS@#50 newly diagnosed CML patients and 50 newly diagnosed B-ALL patients were detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with BCR/ABL/ASS1 tricolor dual-fusion probe. Meanwhile, karyotype analysis was performed on all the patients using the 24 hours short-term culture and R-banding.@*RESULTS@#Among the 50 CML patients, Ph was found in 49 cases, 5 normal interphase karyotype was observed in 1 case. FISH detection showed that BCR/ABL fusion gene existed in all patients (100%), while the positive signal pathway showed that 1R1G2B2F was observed in 39 cases (78%), 2R1G2B1F in 2 cases (4%) and 1R1G2B1F in 6 cases (12%), simultaneous existence of 1R1G1B1F and 1R1G2B3F in 1 case (2%), 2R1G1B1F in 1 case (2%) 1R1G3B3F in 1 case (2%). FISH detection also showed that the karyotype of 6 case at ASS1 gene deletion (1R1G1B1F) all were simple t (9; 22) translocation, and other abnormalities not were observed. Among 50 cases of B-ALL, Ph was found in 13 cases, the numerical aberration and structural aberration of non t (9; 22) in 16 cases, normal karyotype in 20 cases, absence of mitotic phase in 1 case. FISH detection showed that 16 cases (32%) had BCR/ABL fusion gene including 13 cases (26%) of 1R1G2B2F, 1 case (2%) of stimultaneous exitance of 1R1G2B2F and 1R1G3B3F 1 case (2%) of 2R1G1B1F, 1 case (2%) of 1R1G3B2F. FISH detection also showed that 3 cases had BCR/ABL fusion gene, including 1 case with ASS1 gene deletion (2R1G1B1F), 1 case with classical t (9; 22) translocation (1R1G2B2F) and 1 case with BCR/ABL fusion gene and increase of ASS1 gene copy (1R1G3B3F).@*CONCLUSION@#Tricolor dual-fusion FISH probe for detecting BCR/ABL fusion gene and ASS1 gene deletion is simple, rapid, sensitive and stable. It can detect various forms of molecular fusion and avoid the false positive results due to coincidental overlap of signals generated by D-FISH probe and ES-FISH probe. In addition, this detection method not only can directly observe the presence or absence of ASS1 gene deletion, but also improve the reliability of the positive results of newly diagnosed BCR/ABL fusion gene and accuracy of monitoring results of minimal residual disease for the subsequent visit.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To summarize and analyze the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of acute lung injury in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) after chemotherapy with rituximab chemotherapy, so as to improve the understanding of the disease and guide the clinical treatment.@*METHODS@#Twenty-Six patients with DLBCL were treated with rituximab chemotherapy and developed to acute lung injury in Third Hospital of Peking University from January 2013 to September 2018 were selected. The clinical features, imaging findings, chemotherapy course, therapeutic effect and prognosis were analyzed.@*RESULTS@#The main clinical symptoms of patients were fever, cough and chest tightness, among which 12 patients showed hypoxia and 3 patients showed respiratory failure type I. The mainly manifested chest CT was diffusive glass grinding in both lungs, and some patients were complicated with a small amount of pleural effusion. The onset chemotherapy time was mainly distributed in 2 to 4 courses, the time between the onset of symptoms and the infusion of rituximab was 8 to 49 days. 25 patients shows no obvious limitation in daily life after effective treatment, and 1 patient died of ineffective treatment.@*CONCLUSION@#There are no typical clinical symptoms in the early stage of acute lung injury after rituximab chemotherapy in DLBCL. Early detection and early hormone therapy are very important to achieve good therapeutic effect.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND@#Few studies have reported brain function differences in drug-naïve first-episode schizophrenia patients who had auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) with insight vs. those without insight. This study aimed to investigate brain function differences between drug-naïve first-episode AVH-schizophrenia patients with and without insight.@*METHODS@#Forty first-episode drug-naïve AVH-schizophrenia patients with or without insight and 40 healthy controls between December 2016 and December 2018 were recruited in this study. The auditory hallucinations rating scale (AHRS) was used to assess AVH severity, while the insight and treatment attitudes questionnaire was used to distinguish insight. The global functional connectivity density (gFCD) between different groups was compared using a voxel-wise one-way analysis of covariance. The relationship between gFCD and AHRS total scores were analyzed using voxel-wise multiple regression.@*RESULTS@#Finally, 13 first-episode drug-naïve AVH-schizophrenia patients with insight, 15 AVH-schizophrenia patients without insight, and 20 healthy controls were included for analysis. Except for global assessment of functioning scores, there were no significant differences in sociodemographic information between the AVH-schizophrenia and healthy groups (P > 0.05). Compared to the healthy controls, AVH-schizophrenia patients with insight demonstrated a decreased gFCD in the supra-marginal gyrus within the primary auditory cortex, while those without insight demonstrated an increased gFCD in the inferior frontal gyrus and superior temporal gyrus and decreased gFCD in the supplemental motor area. Compared to the AVH-schizophrenia patients with insight, those without insight demonstrated an increased gFCD in the supra-marginal gyrus and posterior superior temporal lobule and a decreased gFCD in the frontal lobe. No significant correlation between gFCD and AVH severity (AHRS total score: r = 0.23, P = 0.590; and frequency: r = 0.42, P = 0.820) was found in both AVH-schizophrenia groups.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The gFCD-aberrant brain regions in the AVH-schizophrenia patients without insight were wider compared to those with insight, although the AHRS scores were not significantly different. The AVH-schizophrenia patients without insight had wide functional impairment in the frontal lobule, which may underlie the lack of insight and the abnormal hyperactivity in the inferior frontal gurus and temporal lobe related to the AVH symptoms.

Except for global assessment of functioning scores, there were no significant differences in sociodemographic information between the AVH-schizophrenia and healthy groups (P > 0.05). Compared to the healthy controls, AVH-schizophrenia patients with insight demonstrated a decreased gFCD in the supramarginal gyrus within the primary auditory cortex, while those without insight demonstrated an increased gFCD in the inferior frontal gyrus and superior temporal gyrus and decreased gFCD in the supplemental motor area. Compared to the AVH-schizophrenia patients with insight, those without insight demonstrated an increased gFCD in the supra-marginal gyrus and posterior superior temporal lobule and a decreased gFCD in the frontal lobe. No significant correlation between gFCD and AVH severity (AHRS total score: r = 0.23, P = 0.590; and frequency: r = 0.42, P = 0.820) was found in both AVH-schizophrenia groups.@*Conclusions@#The gFCD-aberrant brain regions in the AVH-schizophrenia patients without insight were wider compared to those with insight, although the AHRS scores were not significantly different. The AVH-schizophrenia patients without insight had wide functional impairment in the frontal lobule, which may underlie the lack of insight and the abnormal hyperactivity in the inferior frontal gurus and temporal lobe related to the AVH symptoms.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the expression and clinical significance of chemokine receptor CXCR3 in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).@*METHODS@#Flow cytometry was used to detect CXCR3 in lymph nodes and extranodal tissues in 25 newly diagnosed MCL patients. The correlation of the expression of CXCR3 level with clinical features and prognostic factors was analyzed.@*RESULTS@#Twenty-five tumor submitted specimens all expressed CXCR3 at varied degrees. The expression levels of CXCR3 in lymph nodes (LN) and bone marrow (BM) were higher than those in peripheral blood (PB), and the expression intensity in BM positively correlated with the involved tumor numbers. The absolute values of lymphocytes and hemoglobins level in PB of CXCR3high group were significantly lower than those in CXCR3low group (all P0.05). The overall response rate (ORR) in CXCR3low group was significantly higher than that in CXCR3high group (P=0.001). The expression level of CXCR3 in MCL cells of the effective group was significantly lower than that before treatment (P=0.038), and the CXCR3 expression in the ineffective group was significantly higher than that before treatment (P=0.002). After following up, it was found that the 3-year overall survival (OS) time and progression-free survival (PFS) time in CXCR3high group were significantly shorter than those in CXCR3low group (all P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#The expression level of CXCR3 in MCL closely relates with early metastasis and prognosis. CXCR3 can be used as one of the indicators for clinical efficacy and prognosis evaluation.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the clinical characteristics of acute myeloid leukemia(AML) patients with FLT3-ITD(Fms-like tyrosine kinase3, intenal tandem duplication) mutation and their response to treatment.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Retrospective analysis of 128 newly diagnosed AML (except type M3) patients was performed between January 2014 and July 2017. Patients were divided into FLT3-ITD mutated group and non-mutated group. Mutation detection was carried out by using polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and gene sequencing analysis. Standard 3 + 7 or CAG regimen were taken as the first induction chemotherapy, 4 cases received sorafenib, overall survival (OS) was calculated by Kaplan-Meier.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Ninety-seven patients can be evaluable for clinical data available; 4 patients were FLT3-TKD mutated, which accounted for 4.1%; 19 patients were FLT3-ITD mutated, which accounted for 19.59%(19/97). Median white blood cell count (WBC), percentage of peripheral blasts and LDH value were significantly higher in FLT3-ITD group than those in non-mutated group [64.65(1.07-587.92)×10/L vs 39.68 (0.45-203.81) ×10/L](P<0.01), [69.62(16-99)% vs 36.35(0-92) %](P<0.01 ) and [LDH 526(124-2 729)U/L vs 265(20-1977)U/L](P<0.05), respectively. The frequency of coexisting NPM1 mutation was higher in FLT3-ITD group than that in non-mutated group [36.8(7/19)% vs 6.8 (5/74) %](P<0.01). The CR+PR was lower in FLT3-ITD group than that in non-mutated group [31.6(6/19)% vs 64.9 (48/74)%](P<0.05). OS in FLT3-ITD group was significantly shorter than that in non-mutated group (5 vs 18 months)(P<0.05). There is no significant difference in OS between FLT3-ITD concomitant with and without NPM1 mutation groups(5 vs 5 months)(P>0.05). The median OS was 13 months for the FLT3-ITD patients taking sorafenib.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The FLT3-ITD is a common mutation in AML, FLT3-ITD mutated AML is more likely concomitant with NPM1 mutation with higher number of WBC, percentage of peripheral blasts and LDH value, thus CR is low after the 1st treatment and survival is poor.</p>

ABSTRACT

In tumor patients, programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) can inhibit T-cell activation and proliferation by binding to its ligand, thereby promote tumor immune escape. A large number of experiments showed that PD-L1 molecule highly expressed on lymphoma cells, while PD-1 expression was up-regulated in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, suggesting its role in the development of lymphoma, which may be an important therapeutic target for lymphoma. PD-1 and PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies can block the PD-1 / PD-Ls signaling pathway, restore T cell function, thus inhibit the tumor growth. At present, a number of early clinical trials have demonstrated the significant efficacy and less side effects in various subtypes of recurrent lymphoma, which will be promising therapeutic agents. In this review, the mechanism of PD-1/PD-L1 signal pathway, the expression of PD-1 / PD-L1 in lymphoma and the anti-tumor effect of its antibody in lymphoma are summarized.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the clinical manifestation, therapeutic efficacy and related prognostic factors of patients with follicular lymphoma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A retroretrospective study was conducted on 94 patients with follicular lymphoma who were admitted to our hospital from March 1999 to June 2016. The total of 94 newly diagnosed FL patients were analyzed in terms of clinical manifestation, laboratory data, pathological examination, clinical stage and so on, so as to find out the related prognostic factors.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Ninety-four patients were included in this study. The median age at onset was 50.60 years old, more common in women, and ratio of male to female was 1:1.35. The superficial lymphadenopathy was found to be the first symptom in 72.3% patients, 25.5% patients had B symptoms when diagnosed, 57.4% cases had extranodal organ invasion when diagnosed, of which bone marrow invasion is the most common, accounting for 36.2%, followed by the digestive tract, bone, spleen and so on. The detected rate of BCL-2 / IGH gene rearrangement was 33.9%. Patients with grade 3 of FL accounted for 24.5%. Cases of clinical stage III-IV accounted for 71.2% in these FL patients. The overall response rate (ORR) was 92.0%, and the complete remission (CR) rate was 79.3% and the recurrence rate was 35.2%. The cumulative overall survival rates of 3, 5 and 10 years were 92.1% , 84.6% and 77.4% respectively, and the cumulative progression-free survival(PFS) rate in 3,5 and 10 years was 68.5%, 61.4% and 41.9%, respectively. The results showed that the CR rate was 85.2% in patients treated with rituximab and 69.7% in patients treated without rituximab. The OS and PFS in patients treated with rituximab were better than those in patients treated without rituximab, but there was no significant difference between them(P>0.05). Univariate analysis showed that FL stage, ECOG score, Hb and LDH levels, digestive tract involvement or not, CR or not after initial treatment had a significant impact on OS(P<0.05), while BCL-2, CD10, ECOG score, albumin, Hb and LDH levels, percentage of lymphocytes, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, digestive tract involvement had a significant impact on PFS (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that digestive tract involvement or not, CR or not after initial treatment were independent risk factors for OS(P<0.05), while CR or not after initial treatment, digestive tract invdvement or not, LDH level and ECOG score were independent risk factors for PFS(P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The FL is more common in middle-aged women, the FL was in late stage at confirmed diagnosis, bone marrow involvement is more common. The CD10 negative is poor prognostic factor for FL. The digestive tract involvement or not, CR or not after initial treatment are independent risk factors for OS, while CR or not after initial treatment, digestive tract involvement or not, LDH level and ECOG score are independent risk factors for PFS.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To detect the molecular cytogenetic abnormalities of multiple myeloma (MM) by using microrray-based comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) technology and to investigate its value of application in MM.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The whole-genoine copy number variants (CNV) of bone marrow samples acquired from 20 cases of newly diagnosed MM patients were detected by genome-wide hybridization and scanning by CytoScan 750K Array (Affymetrix). At the same time, the chromosome abnormalities of bone marrow cells were detected by karyotype analysis and FISH using 9 specific probes: D13S319, RB1, p53, 1q21, IgH, IgH/CCND1, IgH/FGFR3, IgH/MAF, IgH/MAFB.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Among the 20 MM patients, the incidence of chromosome abnormalities detected by karyotype analysis, FISH and array-CGH were 15%, 65% and 90%, respectively. The types of CNV detected by array-CGH included the gain (106), loss (156) or UPD (23). There were many different CNVs in every chromosomes except chromosome 5, 9, 18, 21 and Y. Comparison of chromosome abnormalities detected by FISH and array-CGH showed that, the positive ratio of del (13q) was 35% and 40% respectively; the positive ratio of amp (1q) was 40% and 50% respectively; the positive ratio of del (17p) was both 15%. FISH detection showed 8 cases with IgH rearrangement, meansahile the array-CGH detection showed that 4 cases had amp (11q13) (CCND1 gene), 3 cases had amp (16q23) (MAF gene), 1 case had amp (4p16) (FGFR3 gene) and 2 cases had amp (20q12) (MAFB gene). Besides, many other new chromosome abnormalities were found.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>More than half of MM patients have cytogenetic changes, and most of them are complex chromosomal abnormalities. By using array-CGH, more chromosome abnormalities can be detected and more cytogenetic information can be provided for clinician.</p>
