RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE@#To screen the serum differentially expressed proteins of APL in children.@*METHODS@#Serum protein expression profiles from 20 cases of normal healthy controls, and 20 cases of APL patients were detected by iTRAQ (isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantification)labeling coupled with two-dimensional liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(2DLC-MS/MS), and analyzed by bioinformatics software. S100A8, LRG1 and SPARC were validated by ELISA. ROC was built by SPSS 20.0 software.@*RESULTS@#Analysis identified 83 differentially expressed proteins in APL serum compared with control according to our defined criteria, of which 33 proteins were up-regulated and 50 proteins were down-regulated (P<0.05).IPA analysis revealed that these differentially expressed proteins were related to the function of Cellular Movement, Immune Cell Trafficking, Hematological System Development and Function, Cell-To-Cell Signaling and Interaction, Tissue Development, and involved in a variety of signalling Pathways, the most representative pathways including LXR/RXR Activation and Acute Phase Response Signaling. S100A8 and LRG1 were found to be elevated and SPARC was markedly down-regulated in serum of childhood APL when compared to the normal controls as examined by ELISA (P<0.05), which was consistent with the iTRAQ result. The overall predictive accuracy of each protein was reflected by the area under the ROC curve(AUC), S100A8,LRG1 and SPARC with ROC areas of 0.841,1.000 and 0.944 respectively.@*CONCLUSION@#S100A8,LRG1 and SPARC may be serve as serum candidate biomarkers for pediatric APL.

Objective: To reveal the related factors of inhibitors and differences ofhemorrhage and joint disease before and after the production of inhibitors in children with hemophilia A (HA) . Methods: Retrospective analyses of the clinical data of 381 children with HA under the age of 16 registered in the Registration Management Center of Hemophilia in Henan Provincial from January 2015 to August 2018. Results: A total of the 381 children were enrolled with 116 (30.4%) mild, 196 (51.4%) moderate, and 69 (18.1%) severe cases; 54 patients (14.2%) had inhibitors, including 22 high and 32 low titer inhibitors. Positive family history was positively associated with inhibitors[P<0.001, OR=3.299 (95%CI 1.743-5.983) ], and high-intensity exposure was associated with inhibitors[P=0.002, OR=2.587 (95%CI 1.414-4.731) ]. High-intensity exposure was associated with high titer inhibitor production[P=0.001, OR=8.689 (95%CI 2.464-30.638) ], and high-intensity exposure increased the risk of high titer inhibitors in HA patients. After inhibitors occurred in 54 patients with HA, the rates of overall joint annual bleeding (z=-3.440, P=0.001) and traumatic annual bleeding (z=-2.232, P=0.026) increased, but the rates of the annual joint bleeding (z=-1.342, P=0.180) and spontaneous annual bleeding (z=-1.414, P=0.157) remained to be not statistically significant. The joint ultrasound score did not change significantly after the inhibitor information (z=-0.632, P=0.527) . Conclusions: Positive family history and high-intensity exposure could increase the risk of F Ⅷ inhibitors in HA patients, and high-intensity exposure increased the risk of high titer inhibitors. The rates of the overall joint annual bleeding and traumatic annual bleeding increased after the inhibitor information.

Objective: To analyze the percentage of myeloperoxidase (MPO)-positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML) blast cells, and to explore the correlation of MPO expression with the clinical features, gene alterations, therapeutic response and prognosis of AML. Methods: The expressions of MPO in BM blasts cells of 233 newly diagnosed AML were retrospectived analyzed, they were divided into two groups using the percentage of MPO-positive blast [low (≤70%) and high (>70%)], clinical features, gene alterations, chemotherapy efficacy and prognosis were compared between the two groups. Results: ①Of the 233 patients, 121(51.9%) were in the low MPO group, and the rest 112(48.1%) in the high MPO group. Favorable-risk group according NCCN guidelines of AML was always MPO-high (χ(2)=32.773, P<0.001), while MPO-low was closely related to poor-risk (χ(2)=7.078, P=0.008); ②DNMT3A mutation (χ(2)=6.905, P=0.009), spliceosome genes mutation (SF3B1/SRSF2/U2AF1) (χ(2)=5.246, P=0.022), RUNX1 mutation (χ(2)=4.577, P=0.032), ASXL1 mutation (χ(2)=7.951, P=0.005) and TP53 mutation (P=0.004) were more likely to be seen in the low MPO group, while C-KIT mutation (χ(2)=8.936, P=0.003) and CEBPA mutation (χ(2)=12.340, P<0.001) were more frequent in the high MPO group, especially CEBPA double mutation; ③The rates of first complete remission in the low MPO group were significantly lower than that in the high MPO group (38.8% vs 68.1%, χ(2)=15.197, P<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that low MPO positivity significantly affected the CR(1) unfavourably. ④The overall survival (OS) and the progression-free survival (PFS) were significantly worse in the low MPO group (18.0% vs 89.4% for OS, and 11.5% vs 56.7% for PFS, P<0.001). Multivariate analysis disclosed that the low number of MPO was significantly unfavourable prognostic factor. ⑤The low MPO group still showed a worse survival even when restricted to the patients with normal karyotype, the OS and the PFS were 31.1% and 18.8% respectively. Conclusions: AML with different MPO expression percentage had a unique gene mutation spectrum. Low expression of MPO was an independent risk factor for CR(1), OS and PFS in AML patients, which may be a simple and highly significant factor for AML patients when evaluating the therapeutic efficacy and prognosis.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the anti-myeloma effect of suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) and on mouse myeloma cell line SP2/0 in vitro and in vivo and its mechanism.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The inhibitory effect of SAHA on SP2/0 cells was measured by CCK-8 assay,and the apoptosis and cell cycle were analyzed by flow cytometry FACS. The protein expression of Caspase-3 and p53 of SP2/0 cells treated with SAHA were examined by Western blot. Annexin V/7-AAD double staining was performed to detect the apoptosis of SP2/0 induced by SAHA in vitro. SP2/0 cells (1×10) resuspended in 200 µl PBS were inoculated subcutaneously and intravenously into BALB/c mice, so as to establish aggressive or non-aggressive myeloma-bearing mouse models respectively. On day 3 after modeling, mice received SAHA or vehicle control treatment by intraperitoneal injection. The dose of SAHA was 60 mg/kg·d, 5 times a week for 3 weeks.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In SAHA-treated SP2/0 cells, the proliferation inhibition rate and apoptotic cells increased in a dose dependent manner. Also, SAHA significantly increased the ratio of cells in G phase and decreased in S phase. Molecular mechanisms of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest of SP2/0 induced by SAHA partly correlated with up-regulating the expression level of Caspase-3 and p53. In the non-aggressive myeloma-bearing mice, SP2/0 cells disappeared in peripheral blood after SAHA treatment. In the aggressive myeloma-bearing mice, inhibition of tumor growth and prolongation of the cell survival were observed after SAHA treatment.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>SAHA inhibited SP2/0 cell proliferation, this effect associates with inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, the mechanism of SAHA ralates partly with activating Caspase-3 and p53 pathway.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of ATO on the proportion of Treg in the peripheral blood of patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) in vitro.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The peripheral blood of 20 newlydiagnosed patients were collected, and the peripheral blood monomuclear cells (PBMNC) were extracted. After the PBMNC were treated with ATO of different concentrotions (0, 1, 2.5 and 5 µmol/L) for 96 hours, the proportion of CD44 CD25CD127 regulatatory T cells (Treg) were detected by flow cytometry. The expression levels of Foxp3 mRNA were detected by RT-PCR, and the levels of IFN-γ,IL-4,IL-17 and TGF-β1 were detected by ELTSA to verify the results of flow cytomery.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>ATO significantly increased the proportion of Treg (P<0.01) at the concentration of 2.5 and 5 µmol/L, and the rising degree of Treg proportion improved with the increasing ATO concentration(r= 0.524). Treg proportion increased at a concentration of 1 µmol/L, but without statistical significance (P>0.05). At 1(P<0.05), 2.5(P<0.01) and 5 µmol/L(P<0.01), ATO significantly up-regulated the expression of Foxp3 mRNA, and the increase of Foxp3 mRNA positively and linearly correlated with the increase of Treg cell-frequency(r=0.523). ATO significantly reduced the levels of IFN-γ (at ATO 1,2.5 and 5 µmol/L, P<0.01), IL-4 (at ATO 2.5 µmol/L, P<0.01; at ATO 5 µmol/L, P<0.01) and IL-17(at ATO 2.5 µmol/L, P<0.05; at ATO 5 µmol/L, P<0.01). ATO had no significant effect on TGF-β1 at 1(P>0.05) and 2.5 µmol/L (P>0.05), but significantly reduced TGF-β1 level at 5 µmol/L (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>ATO can mediate the immune regulation through up-regulating the proportion of Treg in peripheral blood of patients with SAA and reducing the levels of IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-17.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the factors affecting survival and prognosis of patients with high-risk refractory lymphoma treated with autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-PBHSCT).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 96 cases of high-risk refractory lymphoma received auto-PBHSCT were selected. The total survival rate after the treatment was analyzed by using Kaplan-Meier curve and long rank test, and the prognosis-related factors were analyzed by univariate analysis and COX regression analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The median survival time of 96 patients was 30.67 months, and the overall survival rate of 3 and 5 years after treatment was 81.25% and 71.88% respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the patients with high lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) level (>245 U/L), 3-5 scores of international prognostic index(IPI), hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, high expression of Ki-67 (≥65%) and bone marrow infiltration had lower survival rate (P<0.05). COX regression analysis showed that the complete remission wasn't reached before auto-PBHSCT and the consolidation therapy was not carried out after auto-PBHSCT, both of them were the risk factors affecting the prognosis (OR=0.46, 0.12, 95% CI: 0.22-0.95, 0.02-0.82, P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Auto-PBHSCT in the treatment of patients with high-risk refractory lymphoma can significantly improve the survival status and prognosis, and the consolidotion therapy should be performed after auto-PBHSCT so as to further improve the long-term survival rate and prolong the survival time.</p>

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) from different donors as first-line treatment for children and adolescents with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) . Methods: The clinical data of 79 children and adolescents with SAA diagnosed from January 2013 to December 2016 in Henan Province were retrospectively analyzed. There were 50 males and 29 females, with a median age of 14(4-18) years. 40 cases received matched sibling transplantation (MSD-HSCT), 17 with unrelated donor transplantation (UD-HSCT), and 22 with haploidentical transplantation (haplo-HSCT). Results: The comparison of MSD-HSCT, UD-HSCT, haplo-HSCT groups was conducted and the median times of neutrophils engraftment were statistically significant [12(9-25) d, 14(10-22) d, 16(11-26) d, respectively (χ2=13.302, P=0.001)], but no difference in+30 d engraftment rate [97.3%(36/37), 100%(15/15), 100%(20/20), χ2=0.959, P=0.619]. The median times of PLT engraftment were not statistically significant [14(6-34)d, 16(7-32)d, 19(10-34)d, respectively, χ2=5.892, P=0.053], and the +30 d engraftment rate had no difference [97.3%(36/37), 100%(15/15), 100%(20/20), χ2=0.959, P=0.619]. The post-transplant infection rate showed no statistically significance [35.0% (14/40), 29.4% (5/17), 45.5% (10/22), χ2=1.158, P=0.560], as well as the incidences of aGVHD, grade III/IV aGVHD and cGVHD(χ2=0.230, P=0.891; χ2=2.628, P=0.269; χ2=3.187, P=0.203). The two-years OS rate was not statistically significant respectively [(77.1±6.7)%, (70.6±11.1)%, (77.3±8.9)%, χ2=0.330, P=0.845]. Severe post-transplant infection (RR=4.617, P=0.009), grade Ⅲ/Ⅳ aGVHD (RR=2.707, P=0.048) were independent risk factors for OS. Conclusion: The overall efficacy of MSD-HSCT, UD-HSCT and haplo-HSCT as first-line therapy for children and adolescents with SAA/VSAA is comparable.

Objective: To explore the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of the patients with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) complicated with HBV infection, so as to provide a basis for clinical accurate diagnosis and prognosis evaluation. Methods: The data of 313 newly diagnosed NHL patients from August 2012 to July 2016 were collected. The HBV serological markers were detected by ELISA, and HBV DNA was quantified by full automatic microparticle chemiluminescence immunoassay (≥1×10(5) copies/ml as high copy group, 1×10(3)-<1×10(5) copies/ml as low copy group). The relationship between HBV infection and prognosis was analyzed combined with the clinical features of the patients, and the HBV detection rate was compared with that of the common population (from the national HBV sero epidemiological data). Results: ①The positive rate of HBsAg in NHL patients was 12.5% (39/313), which was higher than 7.2% in the general population (χ(2)=14.596, P<0.001). HBV infection in the past (HBsAg negative but HBcAb positive) in 114 cases (36.4%), the incidence was slightly higher than that in the general population (34.1%). ②Compared HBsAg positive group with the negative group, the proportion of B cell type (87.2% vs 70.3%, P=0.027), Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ(69.2% vs 34.6%, P<0.001), IPI score 3-5 (74.4% vs 50%, P=0.004), LDH level (79.5% vs 47.8%, P<0.001) and liver involvement (45.5% vs 31.7%, P=0.006) were all higher. The difference was statistically significant. ③Compared the HBV infected group (114 cases) with the non-infected group (160 cases), the difference had statistical significance in the proportion of Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ (P=0.023) and IPI score 3-5 scores P=0.035). ④Compared HBV DNA positive group (30 cases) with negative group (71 cases), Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ (P=0.011), IPI score 3-5 score (P=0.030), LDH level (P=0.025) and liver involvement (P<0.001) in the proportion of patients had statistical significance. The positive patients were divided into HBV DNA high and low copy groups with 1×10(5) copies of /ml as the boundary. The results showed that there was no statistical difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions: The HBV infection rate of NHL patients is significantly higher than that of the general population, and HBV infection is more closely related to B cell type NHL. Patients with HBV infection and HBV DNA positive had late Ann Arbor stage, high IPI score, high LDH level and liver involvement, and the prognosis is poor.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the diagnostic value and safety of percutaneous lung biopsy in hematologic patients with lung infection.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>28 cases hematologic patients received CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy when they developed a fever associated with pulmonary nodules or lumps in CT scan whose clinical diagnosis were unclear during or after chemotherapy. Sample of each lesion were drawn twice. The lung tissue was re-scanned after lung biopsy to check up in order to discover bleeding and pneumothorax. Biopsy tissue was examined by bacteria culture, acid-fast staining and pathology. Pathological examination contained HE staining, acid-fast stain, PAS stain, TB-DNA, methenamine silver and others.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>28 cases contain 24 males and 4 females. Median age was 40 15 - 77 years old. Blood tests were as follows: 3 cases with HGB > 110 g/L, 9 with HGB 90 - 110 g/L, 12 with HGB 60 - 89 g/L, 4 with HGB < 60 g/L. 8 with WBC > 10×10(9)/L, 6 with WBC (4 - 10)×10(9)/L, 13 with WBC < 4×10(9)/L, 1 with WBC < 2×10(9)/L; 14 with PLT > 100×10(9)/L, 5 with PLT (50 - 100)×10(9)/L, 5 with PLT < 50×10(9)/L, 4 with PLT < 30×10(9)/L. 4 cases had mild extended PT, 3 mild extended APTT, 3 FIB lower than normal. Lung CT scans were as follows: 4 cases with simply lesion in right lung, 4 with simply lesion in left lung, 20 with lesions in bilateral lung. 8 cases were diagnosed as fungal infection, 3 as tuberculosis infection, 1 as lung cancer, 1 as pulmonary infiltration of lymphoma, 1 as pulmonary infiltration of leukemia, and 14 as inflammatory changes with no specific diagnosis. 4 cases came with pneumothorax during lung biopsy, mild to moderate in 3 cases and severe in 1 case. Severe patient turned better after CT-guided suction. 3 cases with mild hemoptysis turned better after treatment.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>When hematopathy patients are with pulmonary nodules or lumps in CT scan whose clinical diagnosis is unclear, CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy is safe and conducive to early diagnosis and conducive to early rehabilitation of patients if the coagulation function is basically normal and platelet count is not too low.</p>
