Small-Sided Games vs. High-Intensity Interval Training on Body Composition of Female Handball Players / Juegos Reducidos vs Entrenamiento Interválico de Alta Intensidad sobre la Composición Corporal de Jugadoras de Balonmano

SUMMARY: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of different training programs based on small-sided games (SSG) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on the body composition of female handball players. A total of 45 female handball players (age: 16.13±0.89 years; training experience: 6.18±1.33 years) were assigned to three groups: game group (GG; N = 15), running group (RG; N = 15), and control group (CON; N = 15). The training programs lasted eight weeks, with two training sessions per week. The GG performed three vs. three small-sided games on a 20 m x 20 m court; the RG performed 15 s HIIT running followed by 15 s of active recovery; the CON group maintained regular handball training. Regardless of the group assignment, all participants were measured for each of the following variables: Body height, body mass, fat-free mass, fat mass, muscle mass, intracellular water, and extracellular water. The results demonstrate significant differences (p0.01) in muscle mass. The GG showed significant (p<0.001) greater improvement in these body composition variables than RG and CON. Body composition variables improved with GG, moving from 2.04 % in fat mass to 1.3 % in extracellular water. In the RG, results show significant improvements (p<0.001) only in intra- and extracellular water. The CON shows improvements in fat-free mass, muscle mass, intracellular water, and extracellular water. To conclude, eight weeks of SSG in handball provide better changes in body composition compared to HIIT 15 s - 15 s and handball training alone.

El propósito de este estudio fue comparar los efectos de diferentes programas de entrenamiento basados en juegos reducidos (SSG) y entrenamiento interválico de alta intensidad (HIIT) sobre la composición corporal de jugadoras de balonmano. Un total de 45 jugadoras de balonmano (edad: 16,13 ± 0,89 años; experiencia de entrenamiento: 6,18 ± 1,33 años) fueron asignadas a tres grupos: grupo de juego (GG; N = 15), grupo de carrera (RG; N = 15) y grupo de control (CON; N = 15). Los programas de formación duraron ocho semanas, con dos sesiones de formación por semana. El GG realizó partidos reducidos de tres contra tres en una cancha de 20 x 20 m; el RG realizó 15 s de carrera HIIT seguidos de 15 s de recuperación activa; El grupo CON mantuvo un entrenamiento regular de balonmano. Independientemente de la asignación de grupo, a todos los participantes se les midió cada una de las siguientes variables: altura corporal, masa corporal, masa libre de grasa, masa grasa, masa muscular, agua intracelular y agua extracelular. Los resultados demuestran diferencias significativas (p0,01) en la masa muscular. El GG mostró una mejora significativa (p<0,001) mayor en estas variables de composición corporal que RG y CON. Las variables de composición corporal mejoraron con GG, pasando de un 2,04 % en masa grasa a un 1,3 % en agua extracelular. En el RG, los resultados mostraron mejoras significativas (p<0,001) sólo en el agua intra y extracelular. El CON indicó mejoras en la masa magra, la masa muscular, el agua intracelular y el agua extracelular. En conclusión, ocho semanas de SSG en balonmano proporcionan mejores cambios en la composición corporal en comparación con el HIIT de 15 s - 15 s y el entrenamiento de balonmano solo.

Effect of desflurane post-conditioning on myocardial protection in patients undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass / 实用医学杂志

Objective To observe and evaluate the protective effect of desflurane post-conditioning on myocardial injury during cardiopulmonary bypass and its influence on patients'postoperative recovery.Methods A total of 200 patients in need of cardiac surgery were selected as the experimental subjects,who were aged from 20 to 65 years old,and divided into ASA Ⅱ-Ⅲ and NYHA Ⅱ-Ⅲ by endotracheal intubation and extracorporeal circulation method under general anesthesia.The patients were randomly divided into desflurane post-treatment group(experi-mental group,group D)and control group(group C)after selection.With the successive opening of the aorta and superior vena cava,group D were given 5%desflurane by inhalation with mechanical ventilation.While group C inhaled pure oxygen without inhaling desflurane.The depth of intraoperative anesthesia was maintained between 40～50 during the operation.Radial artery blood was collected from patients in 24 h before surgery(T0),immediately after intubation(T1),and 1 h(T2),6 h(T3),12 h(T4)and 24 h(T5)after aortic opening to achieve the determi-nation of troponin I(cTnI)and creatine kinase isoenzyme MB(CK-MB).On the premise of obtaining the informed consent of the patient,about 50 mg of right atrial appendage tissue was collected before aortic intubation(T1.5)and 1 hour after aortic opening(T2)to determine the apoptosis rate.Results(1)cTnI in group C at the time of T2,T3,T4 and T5 was apparently higher than group D(P<0.05).(2)CK-MB in group C at the time of T3 was apparently higher than group D(P<0.05).(3)The myocardial tissue results showed that there was a lower apoptosis rate in experimental group at the time of T2(P<0.05).Conclusion Desflurane post-conditioning has a myocardial protec-tive effect during cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass.

Prejuízos da lombalgia à qualidade de vida de praticantes de musculação / The losses of low back pain to the health quality in bodybuilding

O exercício físico está presente no cotidiano com vários objetivos; dentre eles, a melhora da qualidade de vida. Apesar proporcionar benefícios à saúde, também patologias e sintomas podem incidir nesse tipo de atividade. Estes são desencadeados, na maioria das vezes, por comportamentos inadequados durante o treino, entre outros. Temos os benefícios da musculação para o corpo humano, porém essa prática constante também leva ao aumento da instalação de lesões musculoesqueléticas e sintomas, como a lombalgia. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar quais são os prejuízos da lombalgia à qualidade de vida dos praticantes de musculação. O método proposto foi de estudo quantitativo exploratório. Os participantes foram abordados em academias da cidade de Maringá, Paraná, Brasil, respondendo aos questionários Roland Morris e Short Form Health Survey. Os dados demonstraram um comprometimento da capacidade funcional e de aspectos sociais dos indivíduos afetados pela lombalgia e praticantes de musculação.

Physical exercise is present in everyday life with several objectives: among them, the improvement of the quality of life. Despite providing health benefits, pathologies and symptoms can also affect this type of activity. These are triggered, most of the time, by inappropriate behavior during training, among others. We have the benefits of bodybuilding for the human body, but this constant practice also leads to an increase in the installation of musculoskeletal injuries and symptoms, such as low back pain. The objective of this study was to identify the damage caused by low back pain to the quality of life of bodybuilders. The proposed method was an exploratory quantitative study. Participants were approached in gyms in the city of Maringá, Paraná, Brazil, answering the Roland Morris and Short Form Health Survey questionnaires. The data showed an impairment of functional capacity and social aspects of individuals affected by low back pain and bodybuilders.

A atuação do Profissional de Educação Física (PEF) na "Atenção intra-hospitalar" ainda é recente, não havendo evidências e informações padronizadas na assistência aos pacientes. Objetivou-se apresentar e promover o método "AMPARO" no Programa de Recondicionamento Físico (PRF) do Hospital de Clínicas das Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro. AMPARO significa Avaliação Multidimensional, Planejamento, Atuação, Reavaliação e Orientação de atividades e exercícios físicos, visando aprimoramento das capacidades físicas relacionadas à saúde. Mais de 1600 atendimentos (avaliações e exercícios físicos) foram realizados. Completaram as 36 sessões do PRF, 31 pacientes, média de idade de 46,12 ± 13,58, sendo 25 (80,6%) do sexo feminino. Houve melhora na aptidão cardiovascular (p < 0,001), aumento da massa magra (p = 0,025) e aumento do tempo de atividade física moderada (p = 0,030). Conclui-se que o "PRF-Método AMPARO" vem se mostrando eficiente na assistência integral à saúde de pacientes atendidos por PEF em um hospital universitário da rede pública

The performance of the Physical Education Professional (PEP) in "Intra-hospital care" is still recent, with no evidence and standardized information on patient care. The objective was to present and promote the "AMPARO-method" in the Physical Reconditioning Program (PRP) of the Clinical Hospital of the Federal University of Triângulo Mineiro. AMPARO means Multidimensional As-sessment, Planning, Performance, Reassessment, and Orientation of activities and physical exercises, aiming at improving physical capacities related to health. More than 1600 consultations (assessments and physical exercises) were carried out. Completed the 36 PRP sessions, 31 patients, average age 46.12 ± 13.58, 25 (80.6%) female. There was an improvement in cardiovascular fitness (p < 0.001), an increase in lean mass (p = 0.025), and an increase in moderate physical activity time (p = 0.030). It is concluded that the "PRP-AMPARO Method" has been proven to be efficient in the comprehensive health care of patients assisted by PE professionals in the public university hospital

Evaluation of GVHD And oral mucositis in patients submitted to HSCT at the STMO-CHC of UFPR

Oral graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and oral mucositis (OM) are important complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) that significantly impact the patient's quality of life. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the profile of patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT, assessing oral GVHD and OM occurrence. Data from medical records of patients that underwent HSCT between 2019 and 2021 were collected. Patients over 18 years old, with diseases or conditions requiring HSCT, were included. A clinical examination was performed to evaluate the occurrence of GVHD and OM. A total of 47 patients undergoing HSCT were evaluated of which 34.04% developed GVHD, and of these 81.25% have had oral involvement. As for OM, it affected 82.97% of the patients, with grades 3 and 4 being more detected. The most frequent previous disease was acute myeloid leukemia, and most of these patients received a related type of transplant (84.61%), fully compatible (53.84%), with bone marrow as a source of stem cells (53.84%). Most patients received the myeloablative conditioning regimen (69.23%). Cyclosporine was the most immunosuppressive agent used for the GVHD prevention associated with methotrexate (76.92%). Oral GVHD and OM are frequent and debilitating oral complications of HSCT, which can compromise a patient's general health and overall survival. Early diagnosis is important for a quick start of treatment and to reduce the impact on the patient's prognosis. (AU)

Effect of xenon post-conditioning on spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats: regulating Akt signaling pathway and autophagy / 中国康复理论与实践

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of xenon post-conditioning on autophagy after spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury (SCIRI) in rats and its relationship with protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway. MethodsA total of 30 male rats were randomized into sham-operated group (sham group), spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury group (I/R group) and I/R + xenon post-conditioning group (Xe group), with ten rats in each group. In the latter two groups, SCIRI was induced by clamping the abdominal aorta for 85 minutes followed by reperfusion for four hours. Xe group inhaled xenon and oxygen (1∶1) for one hour at one hour after initiation of reperfusion, while the other groups inhaled nitrogen and oxygen (1∶1) for one hour. After the reperfusion, they were assessed with Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) scale and slanting board test. And then, their spinal cords of L3-5 were obtained. Nissl staining was used to count the number of normal neurons. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression of Akt, p-Akt, p62, Beclin 1, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) Ⅰ, LC3 Ⅱ. The mRNA expression of Beclin 1, p62 and LC3 Ⅱ in the spinal cord was measured with reverse transcription real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. ResultsCompared with the sham group, the BBB score and the maximum inclination of the slanting board test decreased, the count of normal neurons decreased, the protein expression of p62 and the p-Akt/Akt ratio decreased (P < 0.01), the protein and mRNA expression of Beclin 1 and LC3 Ⅱ, and the LC3 Ⅱ/LC3 Ⅰ ratio increased, the p62 mRNA expression decreased (P < 0.01) in the I/R group. Compared with the I/R group, the BBB score and the maximum inclination of the slanting board test increased, the count of normal neurons increased, the protein expression of p-Akt and p62 increased, the p-Akt/Akt ratio increased, the protein and mRNA expression of Beclin 1, LC3 Ⅱ and LC3 Ⅱ/LC3 Ⅰ ratio decreased, and the mRNA expression of p62 increased (P < 0.01) in Xe group. ConclusionXenon post-conditioning may relieve SCIRI in rats, which is related to activating Akt signaling pathway to inhibit autophagy.

Contextual Fear Learning and Extinction in the Primary Visual Cortex of Mice / 神经科学通报·英文版

Fear memory contextualization is critical for selecting adaptive behavior to survive. Contextual fear conditioning (CFC) is a classical model for elucidating related underlying neuronal circuits. The primary visual cortex (V1) is the primary cortical region for contextual visual inputs, but its role in CFC is poorly understood. Here, our experiments demonstrated that bilateral inactivation of V1 in mice impaired CFC retrieval, and both CFC learning and extinction increased the turnover rate of axonal boutons in V1. The frequency of neuronal Ca2+ activity decreased after CFC learning, while CFC extinction reversed the decrease and raised it to the naïve level. Contrary to control mice, the frequency of neuronal Ca2+ activity increased after CFC learning in microglia-depleted mice and was maintained after CFC extinction, indicating that microglial depletion alters CFC learning and the frequency response pattern of extinction-induced Ca2+ activity. These findings reveal a critical role of microglia in neocortical information processing in V1, and suggest potential approaches for cellular-based manipulation of acquired fear memory.

The publication bias was evaluated using Begg's test, and sensitivity analysis was performed with the leave-one-out evaluation for assessment of the robustness of the outcomes.@*Results@#A total of 742 publications were initially searched, and 29 publications were finally included, all of which were cross-sectional studies. The publications included 10 high-quality and 19 moderate-quality studies covering 6 160 samples, and the pooled detection of L. pneumophila was 17.20% (95%CI: 12.80%-21.90%). Subgroup analysis showed a higher detection rate of L. pneumophila in cooling water (21.80%) than in condensed water (5.50%) (P<0.01). According to the criteria defined in Hygienic Specification of Central Air-conditioning Ventilation System in Public Buildings (2006 version), the detection of L. pneumophila was 23.30%, which was higher than the detection (13.20%) according to the Hygienic Specification of Central Air-conditioning Ventilation System in Public Buildings (WS 394-2012) (P<0.05). The detection of L. pneumophila did not vary in place, region or sample (P>0.05). Begg's test showed no significant publication bias, and sensitivity analysis showed robustness of the results. @*Conclusions@#The detection of L. pneumophila ranges from 12.80% to 21.90% in central air-conditioning systems of public places in China. Health and environmental protection sectors need to improve the monitoring of L. pneumophila contamination in central air-conditioning systems of public places.

Second allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with reduced-intensity conditioning and donor changes in relapsed hematological malignancies after the first allogeneic transplant / 中华血液学杂志

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of a second allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) in patients with hematological malignancies who had relapsed after the first allo-HSCT. Methods: Between April 2018 and June 2021, 44 patients with hematological malignancies (B-ALL 23, T-ALL/T-LBL 4, AML15, and MDS 2) were enrolled and retrospectively examined. Unrelated donors (n=12) or haploidentical donors (n=32) were used. Donors were replaced in all patients for the second allo-HSCT. Hematological and immunological germline predisposition genes and hematopoietic and immune function tests were used to select the best-related donor. Total body irradiation (TBI) /fludarabine (FLU) -based (n=38), busulfan (BU) /FLU-based (n=4), total marrow irradiation (TMI) /FLU-based (n=1), and BU/cladribine-based (n=1) were the RIC regimens used. For graft versus host disease (GVHD) prevention, cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, short-term methotrexate, and ATG were used. Eighteen (40.9%) of 44 patients with gene variations for which targeted medications are available underwent post-transplant maintenance therapy. Results: The median age was 25 years old (range: 7-55). The median interval between the first and second HSCT was 19.5 months (range: 6-77). Before the second allo-HSCT, 33 (75%) of the patients were in complete remission (CR), whereas 11 (25%) were not. All patients had long-term engraftment. The grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ GVHD and severe acute GVHD rates were 20.5% and 9.1%, respectively. Chronic GVHD was found in 20.5% of limited patterns and 22.7% of severe patterns. CMV and EBV reactivation rates were 29.5% and 6.8%, respectively. Hemorrhage cystitis occurred in 15.9% of cases, grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ. The 1-yr disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and cumulative recurrence incidence (RI) rates of all patients were 72.5% (95% CI, 54.5%-84.3%), 80.6% (95% CI, 63.4%-90.3%), and 25.1% (95% CI, 13.7%-43.2%), respectively, with a median follow-up of 14 (2-39) months. There were eight deaths (seven relapses and one infection). The rate of non-relapse mortality (NRM) was only 2.3%. The CR patients' 1-yr RI rate was significantly lower than the NR patients (16.8% vs 48.1%, P=0.026). The DFS rate in CR patients was greater than in NR patients, although there was no statistical difference (79.9% vs 51.9%, P=0.072). Univariate analysis revealed that CR before the second allo-HSCT was an important prognostic factor. Conclusion: With our RIC regimens, donor change, and post-transplant maintenance therapy, the second allo-HSCT in relapsed hematological malignancies after the first allo-HSCT is a safe and effective treatment with high OS and DFS and low NRM and relapse rate. The most important factor influencing the prognosis of the second allo-HSCT is the patient's illness condition before the transplant.

Effect and safety of 10-day decitabine-containing conditioning regimen for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in 31 patients with acute myeloid leukemia/myelodysplastic syndrome / 中华血液学杂志

Objective: To investigate the early effect and safety of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with a 10-day decitabine-containing conditioning regimen in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) /myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) . Methods: From April 2021 to May 2022, 31 AML/MDS patients who received allo-HSCT with a 10-day decitabine-containing conditioning regimen were analyzed. Results: AML (n=10), MDS-AML (n=6), CMML-AML (n=1), and MDS (n=14) were identified in 31 patients, 16 males, and 15 females, with a median age of 41 (20-55) yr. Neutrophils and platelets were successfully implanted in 31 patients (100%), with a median implantation duration of 12 (9-30) and 14 (9-42) days, respectively. During the preconditioning period, 16 patients (51.6%) developed oral mucositis, with 15 cases of Ⅰ/Ⅱ grade (48.4%) and one case of Ⅲ grade (3.2%). After transplantation, 13 patients (41.9%) developed CMV viremia, six patients (19.4%) developed hemorrhagic cystitis, and four patients (12.9%) developed a local infection. The median time of acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) following transplantation was 33 (12-111) days. The cumulative incidence of aGVHD and Ⅲ/Ⅳ grade aGVHD was 41.9% (95% CI 26.9%-61.0%) and 22.9% (95% CI 13.5%-47.5%), respectively. There was no severe cGVHD, and mild and moderate chronic GVHD (cGVHD) incidence was 23.5% (95% CI 12.1%-43.6%). As of November 30, 2022, only one of the 31 patients had relapsed, with a 1-yr cumulative relapse rate (CIR) of 3.2% (95% CI 0.5%-20.7%). There was only one relapse patient death and no non-relapse deaths. The 1-yr overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 92.9% (95% CI 80.3%-100%) and 96.8% (95% CI 90.8%-100%), respectively. Conclusions: A 10-day decitabine-containing conditioning regimen for allo-HSCT reduced relapse and was safe and feasible in treating AML/MDS.

Efficacy and Prognostic Factors of Nonmyeloablative Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia / 中国实验血液学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To retrospectively analyze the efficacy and complications of our institution's modified nonmyeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (NST) in treating intermediate-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) - first complete remission (CR1) and prognostic factors.@*METHODS@#Clinical data of 50 intermediate-risk AML-CR1 patients who underwent matched related NST at the Fifth Medical Center of Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital from August 2004 to April 2021 were collected, the hematopoietic recovery, donor engraftment and complications were observed, and overall survival (OS) rate, leukemia-free survival (LFS) rate, treatment-related mortality (TRM), and cumulative relapse rate were calculated. Statistical analysis of factors affecting prognosis was also preformed.@*RESULTS@#The median times for neutrophil and platelet recovery after transplantation were 10 (6-16) and 13 (6-33) days, respectively. One month after transplantation, 22 patients (44%) achieved full donor chimerism (FDC), and 22 patients (44%) achieved mixed chimerism (MC), among whom 18 cases gradually transited to FDC during 1-11 months, 4 cases maintained MC status. The overall incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) was 36%, with a rate of 18% for grade II-IV aGVHD and a median onset time of 45 (20-70) days after transplantation. The overall incidence of chronic GVHD (cGVHD) was 34%, with 20% and 14% of patients having limited or extensive cGVHD, respectively. The incidence rates of infections, interstitial pneumonia, and hemorrhagic cystitis were 30%, 10%, and 16%, respectively. The 5-year OS rate, LFS rate, TRM, and cumulative relapse rate were 68%, 64%, 16%, and 20%, respectively. The increase of the number of CD34+ cells infused had shortened the recovery time for neutrophils and platelets (r =0.563, r =0.350). The number of CD34+ cells infused significantly influenced the occurrence of extensive cGVHD (OR =1.36, 95%CI : 1.06-1.84, P =0.024).@*CONCLUSION@#Modified NST is effective in treating intermediate-risk AML-CR1 patients, however, further expansion of sample size is needed to study prognostic factors.

Effectiveness of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the treatment of high-risk neuroblastoma in children: a single-center clinical study / 中国当代儿科杂志

OBJECTIVES@#To investigate the effectiveness of high-dose chemotherapy combined with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in the treatment of children with high-risk neuroblastoma (NB).@*METHODS@#A retrospective analysis was performed on 29 children with high-risk NB who were admitted to Shanghai Children's Hospital and were treated with high-dose chemotherapy combined with ASCT from January 2013 to December 2021, and their clinical features and prognosis were analyzed.@*RESULTS@#Among the 29 children treated by high-dose chemotherapy combined with ASCT, there were 18 boys (62%) and 11 girls (38%), with a median age of onset of 36 (27, 59) months. According to the International Neuroblastoma Staging System, 6 children (21%) had stage III NB and 23 children (79%) had stage IV NB, and the common metastatic sites at initial diagnosis were bone in 22 children (76%), bone marrow in 21 children (72%), and intracalvarium in 4 children (14%). All 29 children achieved reconstruction of hematopoietic function after ASCT. After being followed up for a median time of 25 (17, 45) months, 21 children (72%) had continuous complete remission and 8 (28%) experienced recurrence. The 3-year overall survival rate and event-free survival rate were 68.9%±16.1% and 61.4%±14.4%, respectively. Presence of bone marrow metastasis, neuron-specific enolase ≥370 ng/mL and positive bone marrow immunophenotyping might reduce the 3-year event-free survival rate (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Children with high-risk NB who have bone marrow metastasis at initial diagnosis tend to have a poor prognosis. ASCT combined with high-dose chemotherapy can effectively improve the prognosis of children with NB with a favorable safety profile.

Efficacy and Safety of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation with Decitabine-containing Regimen in Myelodysplastic Syndromes and Myelodysplastic Syndromes Transformed Acute Myeloid Leukemia / 中国实验血液学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the efficacy and safety of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with decitabine (Dec)-conditioning regimen in the treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and MDS transformed acute myeloid leukemia (MDS-AML).@*METHODS@#The characteristics and efficacy data of 93 patients with MDS and MDS-AML who received allo-HSCT in our center from April 2013 to November 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were administered by myeloablative conditioning regimen containing Dec (25 mg/m2 /d×3 d).@*RESULTS@#Among the 93 patients, 63 males and 30 females, were diagnosed as MDS（n ＝77）, MDS-AML（n ＝16）. The incidence of I/II grade regimen-related toxicity (RRT) was 39.8%, and III grade RRT was only found in 1 patient (1%). Neutrophil engraftment was successful in 91 (97.8%) patients after a median neutrophil engraftment time of 14 (9-27) days; Successful platelet engraftment was achieved in 87 (93.5%) patients, with a median engraftment time of 18 (9-290) days. The incidence of acute graft versus host disease（aGVHD） and grade III-IV aGVHD was 44.2% and 16.2%, respectively. The incidence of chronic graft versus host disease（cGVHD） and moderate-to-severe cGVHD was 59.5% and 37.1%, respectively. Of the 93 patients, 54 (58%) developed posttransplant infections, among which lung infection (32.3%) and bloodstream infection (12.9%) were the most common. The median follow-up after transplantation was 45 (0.1-108) months. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate, disease-free survival (DFS) rate, treatment-related mortality, and cumulative incidence of relapse were 72.7%, 68.4%, 25.1%, and 6.5%, respectively. And the 1-year graft-versus-host disease/relapse-free survival rate was 49.3%. The patients in different group of relative high-risk prognostic scoring or low-risk prognostic scoring, with or without poor-risk mutation(s), with mutations number ≥3 or <3 had similar 5-year OS rate (more than 70%). Multivariate analysis showed that the incidence of grade III-IV aGVHD was the independent risk factor affecting OS（P =0.008）and DFS (P =0.019).@*CONCLUSION@#Allo-HSCT with Dec-conditioning regimen is feasible and effective in the treatment of patients with MDS and MDS-AML, especially those in high prognostic risk and with poor-risk mutations.
