RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the changes of various cytokines and coagulation function in B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL) patients with different CRS scores during CD19-CAR-T cell immunotherapy.Methods:87 patients with B-ALL hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and 30 normal controls were enrolled into this study from July 2018 to October 2020. The age of the patients was 32(20, 56) years old and 36(41.4%) were female. All these coagulation indicators, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), D-dimer, fibrinogen (Fg) were analyzed by automatic blood coagulation in B-ALL patients before and after treated with CAR-T cell. The ratio of CD19-CAR-T cells and the expression of IL-6, IL-10, IFN-γ, TFN-α, IL-2, IL-4, and IL-17A were analyzed using flow cytometry. The patients′ clinical parameters were detected, and the CRS classification of severity was made according to the standard of consensus.Results:Patients with CRS>3 had prolonged PT and APTT, increased D-dimer, and decreased fibrinogen ( P<0.05). The levels of cytokines of IFN-γ, IL-6, and IL-10 were significantly higher in patients with CRS>3 than that in controls ( P<0.05).The D-dimer level is positively correlated with IL-10. Conclusion:Patients with severe CRS grading have significant coagulation dysfunction in CD19-CAR-T cell immunotherapy. Cytokines IFN-γ, IL-6, and IL-10 may affect coagulation function and CRS grading during CD19-CAR-T cell immunotherapy.
RESUMEN
Flow cytometric immunophenotyping of leukemia has been used as the main method of acute leukemia diagnosis and classification. The revised Classification of Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissue Tumors in 2016 improved the diagnostic method for acute leukemia assessment. In China, at present there are still difficulties in the large-scale application and the standardization of this new flow cytometric immunophenotyping of acute leukemia in daily work. A thorough analysis and solution is demanded.
RESUMEN
Objective To analyze the loss coefficient of bivalent live attenuated oral polio vaccine（bOPV) in Hongshan District, and understand the causes and influencing factors, and to provide a basis for scientifically formulating vaccine use plans and regulating vaccine management. Methods Using the data of Hubei Province Immunization Planning Information System and Hongshan District Vaccination Storage and Management System, a special questionnaire was designed to understand the vaccination and use of bOPV in various immunization units in Hongshan District. A descriptive statistical analysis method was used to calculate the loss coefficient. Results The bOPV loss coefficient of 25 vaccination units in Hongshan District was 1.69. The difference of the loss coefficient between the out-patient clinics of the District Health and Family Planning Committee（1.35）and the community clinics undertaken by large hospitals (2.01）was statistically significant. The difference of the loss coefficient between the inoculation once a week（1.57）and 2-6 times per week（1.94）was statistically significant. In terms of vaccine-disabled time, the two groups of 4 hours had different calculated loss coefficients 1.86 and 1.61, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant. Multivariate regression analysis of the factors related to the loss coefficients found that different outpatient attributes had a greater impact on the loss coefficient than the inoculation cycle and the number of inoculation stations. The loss coefficient for 2016 and 2017 was 2.09 and 1.75, respectively. The difference was statistically significant. Conclusion The management and use of live attenuated bivalent polio vaccine in Hongshan District was relatively standardized. The vaccine loss can by further reduced by strengthening supervision and assessment, setting up centralized vaccination and standardizing publicity and training.

RESUMEN
Objective@#Early T-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ETP-ALL) is a recently recognized high-risk T lymphoblastic leukemia subgroup. The optimal therapeutic approaches to adult patients with ETP-ALL are poorly characterized. In this study, we explore the efficacy and outcome of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for ETP-ALL.@*Methods@#The clinical data of 23 patients with ETP-ALL receiving allo-HSCT from 2010 to 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with ETP-ALL were diagnosed based on the characteristic immunophenotypes. Second-generation sequencing was done in all patients. As to the donors, 12 patients had haploidentical donors (Haplo-HSCT) , 7 HLA-matched sibling donors (Sib-HSCT) and 4 HLA-matched unrelated donors (URD-HSCT) . Before transplantation, 19 patients achieved complete remission (CR) and 4 patients without.@*Results@#The main clinical features of ETP-ALL included high white blood cell counts in 5 patients, splenomegaly in 14, lymphadenopathy in 19, and thymus masses in 5. According to cytogenetic and molecular characteristics, 11 patients had gene mutations related to myeloid tumors, and 7 with high risk Karyotype. After first induction regimen, 14/23 patients achieved CR. 5 patients reached CR after more than 2 cycles of chemotherapy, while another 4 patients did not reach CR. After allo-HSCT, 22 patients were successfully implanted. The median time of granulocyte and platelet reconstitution was +12 and +19 days. One patient died of transplant-related infection at +14 days. The estimated 18-month overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) rates were (55.0±14.4) % and (48.1±14.7) % respectively. Transplant-related mortality was 4.3%. The median OS in patients achieving CR before transplantation was 20 months, however, that in patients without CR was only 13 months. OS and RFS between haplo-HSCT and sib-HSCT were comparable (P=0.460 and 0.420 respectively) .@*Conclusions@#Allo-HSCT is an effective therapy in some patients with ETP-ALL. Salvage HSCT cannot overcome the poor outcome. Haplo-HSCT and sib-HSCT in ETP-ALL patients have the similar clinical outcome.
RESUMEN
Objective@#To evaluate the prognostic significance of minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring by 10-color flow cytometry in multiple myeloma (MM) patients after treatment.@*Methods@#150 patients with MM who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from July 2015 to July 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical data, MRD data monitoring by 10-color flow cytometry and prognosis were analyzed.@*Results@#39.1% (34/87) patients were MRD negative after induction chemotherapy, and 49.3% (34/69) patients were MRD negative within 1 year after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) . MRD-negative patients after induction chemotherapy or after transplantation have better progress-free survival (PFS) than MRD-positive patients (P=0.022 and P<0.001) . According to the changes of MRD pre-ASCT and after ASCT, the patients were divided into 4 groups: patients with MRD continued negativity,improved from MRD positive to MRD negative, MRD continued positivity, transformed from MRD negative to MRD positive. The two-year PFS of the four groups were 83%, 82%, 44%, 0, respectively, (P=0.002) . Multivariate analysis showed that the level of MRD after induction chemotherapy was an independent factor for PFS (P=0.002) , HR=4.808 (95%CI 1.818-12.718) .@*Conclusion@#Patients with MRD negative after treatment is a better prognosis marker than complete remission or even the best marker, which can evaluate prognosis by combining R-ISS and cytogenetic changes.

RESUMEN
Objective To study the immunophenotypic feature of CD+2 adult B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (CD+2 B-ALL) and provide evidences for the diagnosis, therapy and prognosis. Methods The immunophenotypes of 18 cases of adult CD+2 B-ALL and 68 cases of adult CD-2 B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia(CD-2 B-ALL) were assayed by a panel of monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) with FACS. Results The age of CD+2 B-ALL adults was younger compared to that of CD-2 B-ALL. The patients in the CD; group were similar to CD-2 group for the expression of most of the cell surface antigens assayed. However, it was notable that expression frequencies of CD10 [(73.78±26.67) %] in CD+2 B-ALL was higher than those in CD; B-ALL [(52.84±35.25) %] (t = 2.35, P0.05). The CD20 expression in CD+2 B-ALL was lower than that in CD-2 B-ALL significantly (χ2 = 11.38, P <0.05). The myeloid antigen (CD13 or CD33) expression in CD+2 B-ALL 44.4 % (8/18) was lower than that in CD-2 B-ALL 72.1 %(49/68) (χ2 = 4.86, P <0.05). Conclusion Patients in the CD+2 B-ALL were similar to CD-2 B-ALL for expression of most of the cell surface antigens assayed. CD+2 B-ALL showed low expression frequency of myeloid antigens (CD13, CD33) and CD20 antigens than CD-2 B-ALL. These results suggested that those with the CD+2 B-ALL immunophenotype generally presented with favorable prognostic features and usually could achieve good outcomes after treatment.

Objective To establish a novel method to detect autoantibodies against platelatespecific receptors by flow cytometric bead assay and study its clinical application. Methods The beads were coated with monoclonal antibodies SZ2, SZ22, SZ21 and 7E3 against platelet GP Ⅰ b, GP Ⅱ b, GP Ⅲa and GP Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a, respectively. Captured platelet glycoprotein and beads complex was detected by FITC labeled polyclonal goat antihuman immunoglobulin using flow cytometer. The platelet samples that reacted with antibodies (SZ2, SZ22, SZ21 and 7E3) negatively and positively were tested, respectively. Each sample was repeated 20 times to generate intra-day CV for the MFI and once a day for 8 days to generate inter-day CV values. The 85 ITP patients, 17 NITP patients and 50 controls from the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University during March 2006 to December 2008 were included in the studies. The sensitivity and specificity of these four platelet antibodies to diagnose ITP were analyzed using ROC curve. The results were compared with MAIPA. Results The CV of the intra-day-assay for samples negative to antibody SZ2, SZ22,SZ21 and 7E3 were 3.26%, 2. 86%, 1.65% and 4. 94%, respectively; While the CV of the intra-day-assay for samples positive to antibody SZ2, SZ22, SZ21 and 7E3 were 6. 16%, 4. 88%, 5.20% and 5. 85%,respectively. The CV of the inter-day-assay for samples negative to antibody SZ2, SZ22, SZ21 and 7E3 were 5. 86%, 4. 74%, 5.69% and 7.56%, respectively; While the CV of the inter-day-assay for samples positive to antibody SZ2, SZ22, SZ21 and 7E3 were 7.53%, 5.49%, 7.11% and 6.25%,respectively. The MFI for SZ2 in ITP group, NITP group and healthy control group were 1.49(0. 88-16. 24),1.12(1.00-1.33), 1.01 (0. 83-1.37), respectively, which showed significant differences (H = 36.89,P＜0.01). The MFI for SZ22 in the three groups were 1.55 (0.84-11.30), 1.13(1.03-1.29), 0.98(0. 85-1.24), respectively (H=28.41, P ＜0.01). The MFI of SZ21 were 1.50 (0.87-11.04), 1.13(0.97-1.32), 1.05 (0.85-1.48), respectively (H=54.42, P＜0. 01). The MFI for7E3 were 1.51(0. 84-9.81), 1.05(0.86-1.13), 1.03 (0.74-1.28), respectively (H =31.97, P ＜0.01). Based on ROC analysis, with cut-off values of 1.37, 1. 24, 1.48 and 1.28 for SZ2, SZ22, SZ21 and 7E3,respectively, the AUC were 0. 86, 0.90, 0. 87 and 0. 84, respectively. The sensitivities of the assays were 58. 82% (50/85), 52. 94% (45/85), 52.94% (45/85) and 51.76% (44/85), respectively. When all four antibodies were used, the sensitivity was increased to 74. 12% (63/85), which was higher than that of MAIPA [ 50. 59% (43/85) ,χ2 = 6. 78, P ＜ 0. 05) ]. Conclusion Flow cytometric bead assay can be used to detect four platelet-specific autoantibodies simultaneously, and may be a useful method to aid in the diagnosis of ITP.
