RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the effect of power PICC with two different external lengths in patients with hematologic diseases.Methods:From August 2020 to August 2021, a retrospective analysis was conducted on 233 cases of hematologic diseases who received power PICC catheterization in Department of Hematology, the Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University, the patients were divided into 0-1 cm group (132 cases) and 2-4 cm group (101 cases) according to the external lengths after catheter insertion. The incidence of related complications and patient comfort at 24 hours, 72 hours, 7 days and 14 days after catheterization were compared between the two groups.Results:At 24 hours and 72 hours after catheterization, the incidence of bleeding at puncture point in 0-1 cm group was 14.39%(19/132) and 9.85%(13/132), in 2-4 cm group was 30.69%(31/101) and 32.67%(33/101), the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=9.02, 14.16, both P<0.05). The rate of redness and swelling of punture point at 7 days after catheterization was 9.09%(12/132) and 40.59%(41/101) in the two groups, with statistical significance ( χ2=32.32, P<0.05). The rates of slightly prolapse at 7 and 14 days after catheterization were 18.18% (24/132) and 18.94%(25/132) in 0-1 cm group, 59.41% (60/101) and 67.33%(68/101) in 2-4 cm group, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=42.18, 55.86, both P<0.05). In the observation of comfort at 14 days after catheterization, the comfort score of patients in the 0-1 cm group was significantly higher than that in the 2-4 cm group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=7.34, P<0.05). Conclusions:Patients with hematologic diseases can reduce the risk of bleeding and slightly prolapse, and improve the comfort of patients when the external lengths is 0-1 cm of power PICC, which is worthy of clinical application and promotion. The catheterizer should adopt accurate in appropriate measurement method to determine the best lengths of the catheters.
RESUMO
Objective To compare the transplant-related toxicity and the efficacy of busulfan/fludarabine (Bu/Flu) and busulfan/cyclophosphamide (Bu/Cy) as conditioning regimen in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for acute myeloid leukemia(AML) in the first complete remission (CR1).Methods Totally 32 AML-CR1 patients underwent allo-HSCT were divided into Bu/Cy (Bu 3.2 mg· kg-1 · d-1,7-4 days before transplantation; Cy 60 mg · kg-1 · d-1,3-2 days before transplantation) and Bu/Flu (Bu 3.2 mg · kg-1 · d-1,5-2 days before transplantation; Flu 30 mg · m-2·d-1,6-2 days before transplantation) groups.The regimen-related toxicity (RRT),incidence and severity of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD),3-year cumulative relapse rate,non-relapse mortality (NRM),3-year event-free survival (EFS) rate and overall survival (OS) rate were compared between the two groups.Results The median follow-up duration was 617.5 (6-1261) days.All patients achieved successful engraftment on 30 day after transplantation.There were no significant differences in the median time to neutrophil engraftment (P =0.121) and platelet engraftment (P =0.171) between the two groups.The median duration of neutrophil count under 0.1 × 109/L and platelet count under 20 × 109/L in the Bu/Cy group were significantly longer than those in the Bu/Flu group (P =0.000 and P =0.047).The incidence of grades Ⅱ-Ⅳ RRT were 68.8％ and 25.0％ (P =0.032) in the Bu/Cy and the Bu/Flu groups,respectively.There were no significant differences in the incidence of acute GVHD (P =0.149),chronic GVHD (P =0.149),incidence of NRM (P =0.333),3-year cumulative relapse rates (P =0.834),3-year EFS rate (P =0.362) and OS rate (P =0.111) between the two groups.Conclusion Compared with Bu/Cy,Bu/Flu is a myeloablative condition regimen with milder bone marrow suppression and lower RRT incidence rate in allogeneic HSCT for AML-CR1 patients without compromising the efficacy.
RESUMO
ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effects of the conditioning regimen with or without total body irradiation on allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in acute leukemia.Methods We retrospectively evaluated clinical outcomes in 287 allo-HSCT recipients with acute leukemia (ALL- 105,AML-129,and AUL-53) who received myeloablative conditioning regimen with or without total body irradiation from January 2002 to August 2011.Two hundred and six patients obtained complete remission (CR) and 81 non-remission (NR) before transplantation.One hundred and ninety-nine patients received conditioning with total body irradiation (TBI+ Cy group,9 Gy given over 2 days),and 88 patients received busulfan (BuCy group,3.2 mg·kg-1 ·d-1 ),both followed by cyclophosphamide.ResultsThere were no statistically significant differences in hematopoietic reconstitution,regimen-related toxicity (RRT),graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and relapse between two groups.For patients with AML and AUL,there was no significant difference in the 5-year survival between the two regimens (P＞ 0.05),while for ALL-CR patients,the TBI + Cy regimen had a higher over survival rate (52.0％ vs.31.3％,LogRank=4.249,P＜0.05) and DFS (50.4％ vs.27.8％,LogRank =4.445,P＜0.05) than BuCy.In TBI + Cy group and BuCy group,the proportion of CD19+ B cells at the first month after HSCT was (4.04 ± 1.86)％ and (1.47 ±0.99) ％ (P＜0.05),that of NK cells at 12th month after HSCT was (23.38 ± 12.19) ％ and (13.11± 7.99) ％ (P＜0.05),and that of CD4+ CD45RO+ cells at 9th month after HSCT was (14.63 ±6.17)％ and (9.07 ± 3.12)％ (P＜0.01),respectively.ConclusionUsing TBI-containing regimen was more effective for treating ALL-CR patients than busulphan-containing regimen,but no difference was found for long-term outcomes in patients with AML and AUL between the two regimens.The 9 Gy TBI-based regimens may not affect recipients' thymic function,T-cells reconstitution and immune tolerance,coming out a non-increase of GVHD.
