OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the clinical efficacy of haploid hematopoietic stem cells (haplo-HSC) combined with third-party umbilical cord blood (tpCB) transplantation in the treatment of X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (X-CGD).@*METHODS@#The clinical data of 26 boys with X-CGD were retrospectively analyzed who were admitted to the Sixth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital between April 2014 and March 2018. All the patients were treated with haplo-HSC combined with tpCB transplantation. The median age of the patients was 3.5 years. The donor was the father in 25 cases and an aunt in 1 case. Transplantation was 5/6 HLA-matched in 9 cases, 4/6 in 12 cases, and 3/6 in 5 cases. The patients received busulfan, cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, or anti-thymocyte globulin for myeloablative preconditioning. Cyclosporine A and mycophenolate mofetil were used for prevention of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). Then the patients were treated with haploid bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells combined with tpCB transplantation on day 1 and haploid peripheral hematopoietic stem cells on day 2. The counts of median donor total nucleated cells, CD34 cells, and CD3 cells were 14.6×10/kg, 5.86×10/kg, and 2.13×10/kg respectively.@*RESULTS@#The median time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment was 12 and 23 days after transplantation respectively. Full donor hematopoietic chimerism was observed on day 30. Twenty-five cases were from haplo-HSC and 1 was from cord blood. No primary implant failure and implant dysfunction occurred, and secondary implant failure occurred in one case. The NADPH oxidase activity returned to normal one month after transplantation. The incidence of grade I-II aGVHD and grade III-IV aGVHD was 35% and 15% respectively. Chronic GVHD (cGVHD) of the skin occurred in one case, and no progression was observed after steroid administration. During the follow-up period of 6-51 months, 25 patients survived, of whom 24 were disease-free (23 patients without cGVHD and 1 with cGVHD of the skin) and NADPH oxidase activity returned to normal; one patient developed secondary implant failure but survived; one patient died of viral interstitial pneumonia 16 months after transplantation. The 5-year event-free survival rate and overall survival rate were 81%±12% and 89%±10% respectively.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Haplo-HSC combined with tpCB transplantation is one of the effective methods for the treatment of X-CGD in children.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of haplotype hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the treatment of acquired severe aplastic anemia (SAA) in children. Methods: The clinical characteristics of 59 pediatric patients with SAA, including 26 cases VSAA, 37males and 22 females, 47 cases typeⅠ and 12 cases typeⅡ, undrerwent haplo-HSCT in our hospital between December 1st, 2011 and December 1st, 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Among 59 patients, 56 patients with a median age of 4.5 (1.2-14.8) years and median weight of 43 (12-80) kg underwent their first HSCT and 3 patients underwent their second HSCT. All patients received the following conditioning regimen: busulfan, cyclophosphamide, and rabbit ATG or Bu (-, CTX) , fludarabineand rabbit ATG. The prophylaxis of acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) was cyclosporine (CsA) , MMF and methotrexate. All patients received bone marrow transfusion on day 01 and peripheral stem cell transfusion on day 02 from haploid donor. The median dose of donor mononuclear cell counts was 15.60 (7.74-21.04) ×108/kg of recipient weight and CD34+ cell counts was 4.86 (3.74-7.14) ×106/kg of recipient weight. Results: Neutrophils and platelets of all 59 children were implanted. The median implantation time of granulocytes and platelets were 13 (10-19) d, 19 (9-62) d, respectively. The incidence of grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ aGVHD was 45.76% (27 cases) and grade Ⅲ/Ⅳ 13.56% (8 cases) , The incidence of chronic GVHD was 8.47% (5 cases) , The incidences of CMV and EBV viremia were 59.32% (35 cases) and 28.81% (17 cases) , respectively. The median follow-up was 30 (8-80) months, 57 patients survived with disease free, 2 patients died of GVHD. Both of the estimated 5-year OS and DFS rates were (96.4±2.5) %. Conclusion: Haplo-HSCT could improve the outcomes of SAA children.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the clinical effect of umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) in children with hematologic malignancies.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 37 pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies that consisted of 14 cases of acute lymphocyte leukemia, 9 cases of acute myeloid leukemia, 5 cases of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, 3 cases of chronic myeloid leukemia, 2 cases of acute mixed leukemia, 3 cases of myelodysplastic syndrome, and 1 case of lymphosarcomatous leukemia. Thirty-seven children with hematologic malignancies received UCBT from unrelated donors (34 cases) and related donors (3 cases). Grafts were 6/6 HLA-matched in 5 cases, 5/6 HLA-matched in 12 cases, 4/6 HLA-matched in 11 cases, and 3/6 HLA-matched in 9 cases. Before transplantation, these patients received rabbit antithymocyte globulin-containing conditioning regimen. The myeloablative conditioning regimen was given in 36 cases and the reduced-intensity conditioning regimen in one case. The median age of transplantation was 5.7 years, and the median weight was 20 kg. The grafts that contained a median of 6.2×10(7) total nucleated cells (TNC)/kg and 2.7×10(5) CD34(+) cells/kg were infused.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The median times to neutrophil engraftment and platelet engraftment were 12 days and 25 days, respectively, and the rates of neutrophil engraftment and platelet engraftment were 95% and 78%, respectively. The rate of neutrophil engraftment was positively correlated with the number of CD34(+) cells (P=0.011), while the rate of platelet engraftment was correlated with the numbers of CD34(+) cells and TNC (P=0.001; P=0.014). The incidence rates of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease were 49% and 11%, respectively. The median follow-up was 54 months. The 5-year transplant-related mortality, overall survival, and disease-free survival were 27%, 57.4% and 41%, respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>UCBT is an alternative source of hematopoietic stem cells for patients with hematologic malignancies.</p>

The objective of this study was to evaluate the value of morphologic diagnosis for acute leukemia (AL), to explore the relation of morphologic diagnosis with immunology, cytogenetics and molecular biology diagnosis of AL and to analyze the onset characteristics of AL in 10 years. The samples of bone marrow and peripheral blood from 233 newly diagnosed cases of AL were collected during 2001-2011 years; the morphologic examination and immunologic, cytogenetic and molecular biologic examination (ICM) were carried out, the consistency of morphologic diagnosis with ICM diagnosis was compared, the onset characteristics of AL was analyzed. The results showed that: (1) the consistent rate of immunology, cytogenetics, molecular biology diagnosis with morphologic diagnosis was 84.3%. The order of consistent rat was AUL, M0 < M1 < HAL < M4 < M2 < M3 < M5 < ALL < M6, M7, AP; (2) Misdiagnosis always occurred among AUL, M0, M1, ALL and HAL or among M2a, M3v, M4 and M5. (3) In 233 cases, the highest ratio of blast was observed in M1 (92.5%), while the lowest ratio of blast was observed in M2 (49.5%). (4) AL occurred more frequently in males than that in female (147:86). (5) AL occurred in patients aged from 1 to 88 years. The median age was 41.5 for AUL, 40.8 for M0, 43.4 for M1, 46.3 for M2, 33.8 for M3, 42.6 for M4, 48.8 for M5, 77.3 for M6, 2.5 for M7, 65.0 for AP, 29.1 for ALL and 40.3 for HAL. (6) The number of patients in the later five years (139 cases) was significantly greater than that in the first five years (94 cases), especially the patients with M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5. It is concluded that morphologic diagnosis has important clinical value in the MICM diagnosis of AL. Attaching importance to the confusing cell morphology and onset characteristics of AL can improve the diagnostic accuracy.

<p><b>AIM</b>To explore proper cryopreservative systems for hematopoietic stem cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 20 persons were mixed with different cryopreservative agent, dimethyl suflfoxide (DMSO) or combination of DMSO and hydroxyethyl starch (HES), then cooled in -80 degrees C low temperature refrigerator (Refr) or autocontrolled programmed cryogenic system (PCS), preserved in Refr or in liquid nitrogen. GM-CFU, LTC-IC, CD34+ cells and typeran blue resistance (TBR) were assayed after different period of cryopreservation.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The recovery rates of CFU-GM, LTC-IC, CD34+ cells and TBR in peripheral blood mononuclear cells which were cooled and preserved in Refr with 5% DMSO-6% HES were 82.2% +/- 14.7%, 83.0% +/- 12.2%, 94.2% +/- 4.3% and 97.7% +/- 3.9% respectively, significantly higher than that in Refr with 10% DMSO (P < 0.05). When cells were cryopreservated with the same cryopreservatives, there was no significantly difference of recovery rate in group of Refr and group of Refr with PCS. Meanwhile, there was not significantly difference of recovery rate among all three groups, preserved in Refr ahead of liquid nitrogen, in Refr merely, in liquid nitrogen with PCS within one year (p > 0.05). However, the recovery rate of CFU-GM, LTC- IC, CD34+ cells and TBR decreased dramatically if cells were cooled and preserved in Refr for two years. After cells were thawed, the cell activity declined gradually at room temperature if the cryopreservatives were not removed or diluted. The cell activity of 10% DMSO group was affected more than that of 5% DMSO-6% HES group.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>5% DMSO-6% HES is better than 10% DMSO as cryopreservatives for hematopoietic stem cells. Refr cryopreservation is a simple and effective method if cells would be cryopreserved for less than one year. If cells would be cryopreserved for more than one year, liquid nitrogen cryopreservation should be recommended. The cryopreservatives should be diluted or removed immediately after cells were thawed.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Unrelated umbilical cord blood has the clear benefits of rapid availability and a reduced stringency of requirement for HLA match. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of unrelated umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) in the treatment of malignant leukemia in children.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Six children with malignant leukemia, including three cases of acute lymphocyte leukemia [two high-risk patients and one standard-risk patient in complete remission (CR)], two juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (one in CR and one in the accelerating stage), and one acute myeloblastic leukaemia (in CR), received a UCBT. The umbilical cord blood grafts were HLA-matched (n=1) or HLA-mismatched at 1 (n=1) or 2 (n=1) or 3 (n=3) loci. Busulfan/cyclophosphamide/antithymocyte globulin (ATG) or total body irradiation (TBI)/cyclophosphamide/ATG was involved in the myeloablative pretreatment regimen. The median infused donor nucleated cell was 8.51 x 10(7)/kg of recipient weight, and the CD34+ cell was 1.81 x 10(5)/kg of recipient weight. Cyclosporin, corticoid, mycophenolate mofetil and daclizumab were used for prophylaxis of acute graft versus host disease (GVHD).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The time to reach an absolute neutrophil count of 0.5 x 10(9)/L ranged from 11 to 35 days (median: 13 days) and the time to reach a platelet count of 20 x 10(9)/L ranged from 27 to 68 days (median: 30 days) after transplantation, and the donors' hematopoietic stem cells were shown in these patients. Four patients developed grade I to III acute GVHD but responded to steroids and daclizumab. Chronic GVHD was not found during a 3-16-month follow-up. Four patients survived and did not relapse during the follow-up.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Unrelated umbilical cord blood is an alternative source of hematopoietic stem cells for patients with leukemia. UCBT can tolerate 1-2 HLA mismatches. The incidence of acute GVHD is high in UCBT recipients.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Severe newborn hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) has a very high rate of disability and no effective treatment is available. The present study aimed to preliminarily evaluate the effects of human neural stem cell transplantation in treatment of severe neonatal HIE.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The patient was a 75-day old male infant with sequelae of severe HIE who had highly delayed development of intelligence and movement and myotonia. MRI showed multiple cerebromalacia and encephalatrophy. Cells obtained from the forebrain of an 11-week old fetus were cultured and amplified for 15 days. And then the human fetal neural stem cells were injected into cerebral ventricle of this infant.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Twenty eight days after transplantation, remarkable improvement occurred not only in his myotonia but also in his intelligence and movement, which became similar to those of the normal infants of the same age. Positron emission tomography (PET) showed significantly increased radioactivity at temporal and occipital lobes which suggested that the cellular metabolism had increased greatly.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The short-term effect of NSCs transplantation on the infant with severe HIE sequelae was significant. PET suggested that the implanted NSCs survived. Many more studies are needed to evaluate long-term effects of NSC transplantation in treatment of HIE.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) harms the lives and health of newborn infants and children severely. Given the absence of effective therapies for HIE, it is important to derive new strategies. Neural stem cells (NSCs) have great potential as a therapeutic tool for the repair of a number of central nervous system disorders that involve cell loss. This study was designed to transplant the neural stem cells derived from human fetal brain (hNSCs) into cerebral ventricle of neonatal rat following hypoxic-ischemic injury and to investigate their survival, migration and differentiation in rat brain.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Cells obtained from the forebrain of a 12-week old fetus were cultured in the presence of epidermal growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor and leukemia inhibitory factor for 11 days. Animal models were built in 7-day-postnatal Wistar rats, 3-days after hypoxia-ischemia (HI), 5 microl suspension containing 5.0 x 10(5) hNSCs was injected into the left cerebral ventricle of each HIE rat by using stereotactic instrument. No immunosuppression therapy was given to the animals. At 1, 2, 4 weeks and 3 months after transplantation, the rats were sacrificed and brain tissues were harvested and were then examined by H-E staining and immunohistochemical analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Implanted cells expressing human nuclear protein (hNP) migrated form the subventricular zone (SVZ) along corpus callosum to the damaged areas, especially to the injured side of cortex and hippocampus. In different areas, the implanted hNSCs differentiated into different cell types which were similar to the host cells. The 85% implanted cells in cortex consisted of hNuc-NF or hNuc-Tublin double positive cells, while in the migratory way, 60% implanted cells differentiated into hNuc-GFAP double positive cells. Compared with the 1-week time point, an increased number of hNP-positive cells were observed at 2-weeks, but the number of these cells greatly decreased at 4-weeks and 3 months.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The implanted hNSCs could extensively survive, migrate in the brain of neonatal rat with HIE and could differentiate into neurons and astrocytes in a regionally specific manner.</p>
