To compare the efficacy and incidence of severe hematological adverse events of flumatinib and imatinib in patients newly diagnosed with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia / 中华血液学杂志

Objective: To analyze and compare therapy responses, outcomes, and incidence of severe hematologic adverse events of flumatinib and imatinib in patients newly diagnosed with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) . Methods: Data of patients with chronic phase CML diagnosed between January 2006 and November 2022 from 76 centers, aged ≥18 years, and received initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China were retrospectively interrogated. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to reduce the bias of the initial TKI selection, and the therapy responses and outcomes of patients receiving initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy were compared. Results: A total of 4 833 adult patients with CML receiving initial imatinib (n=4 380) or flumatinib (n=453) therapy were included in the study. In the imatinib cohort, the median follow-up time was 54 [interquartile range (IQR), 31-85] months, and the 7-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.2%, 88.4%, 78.3%, and 63.0%, respectively. The 7-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 71.8%, 93.0%, and 96.9%, respectively. With the median follow-up of 18 (IQR, 13-25) months in the flumatinib cohort, the 2-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.4%, 86.5%, 58.4%, and 46.6%, respectively. The 2-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 80.1%, 95.0%, and 99.5%, respectively. The PSM analysis indicated that patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had significantly higher cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) and higher probabilities of FFS than those receiving the initial imatinib therapy (all P<0.001), whereas the PFS (P=0.230) and OS (P=0.268) were comparable between the two cohorts. The incidence of severe hematologic adverse events (grade≥Ⅲ) was comparable in the two cohorts. Conclusion: Patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had higher cumulative incidences of therapy responses and higher probability of FFS than those receiving initial imatinib therapy, whereas the incidence of severe hematologic adverse events was comparable between the two cohorts.

Effects of sodium ozagrel in primary thrombocytosis combined with thrombosis / 中国实验血液学杂志

This study was aimed to investigate the incidence of thrombosis in patients with primary thrombocytosis (PT) and its correlation with function changes of platelets, and to explore the effect of thromboxane A2 (TXA2) inhibitor-ozagrel sodium on platelet activity and its efficacy for prevention and treatment of thrombosis. The CD62P and PAC-1 levels on platelet surface were detected by flow cytometry; the levels of TXB2 (metabolic product of TXA2) and 6-keto-PGFIalpha (metabolic product of prostacyclin) were detected by FLISA. The function change of platelets and its correlation with thrombosis were observed and compared in PT patients with and without thrombosis. The results indicated that the TXB2, PAC-1 and CD62P level, and TXB2/6-keto-PGF1alpha ratio in PT patients with thrombosis were higher than those in PT patients without thrombosis before treatment with ozagrel sodium (p<0.01). After treatment with ozagrel sodium, the function indexes of platelets such as CD62P, PAC-1, TXB2 and TXB2/6-keto-PGF1alpha except 6-keto-PGF1alpha in PT patients with and without thrombosis decreased obviously (p<0.01), but there was no significant difference in TXB2, 6-keto-PGF1alpha and TXB2/6-keto-PGF1alpha levels between PT patients with and without thrombosis except CD62P and PAC-1. It is concluded that the multi-index of platelets in PT patients with thrombosis are higher than that in PT patients without thrombosis, the activation of platelet function is a high risk factor for thrombosis of PT patients. The ozagrel sodium can obviously reduce the platelet activation, decrease the production of TXA2 and ameliorate the TXB2/6-keto-PGF1alpha ratio. The ozagrel sodium not only possesses therapeutic effect, but also preventive efficacy for thrombosis.

Early clinical evaluation of dental implants in patients with chronic localized periodontitis / 实用口腔医学杂志

Objective:To investigate the clinical results of implantation in patients with chronic localized periodontitis.Methods: 21 patients with chronic localized periodontitis who received 57 implants were studed.The patients were followed up for one year after implants loading.Results: There were 4 implantation failures.Another 53 implants had a good osseointegration.The success rate was 92.98%.The marginal bone resorption was about(0.77?0.32) mm after one year loading.Conclusion: The clinical outcome of dental implants in selected group of patients with well-controlled chronic localize periodontitis is satisfying.Further investigations and clinical trials is needed to determine the long-term survival of implants in patients with chronic localize periodontitis.
