Treating exploration and prospect on myelodysplastic syndromes / 白血病·淋巴瘤

ABSTRACT

The myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of clonal heterogeneous disorders of hematopoietic/progenitor.There are differences between Chinese and Western on cytogenetic typing of MDS.The arsenic-containing Chinese herbal formula Qinghuang powder is exact effective in the treatment of MDS.The clinical effect mechanism research indicated that treatment with arsenic-containing Chinese herbal formula had no effect on karyotype status,but resulted in a significant genome wide demethylation.The effective arsenic-concentration in blood is (19.39±10.36) μg/L,which is obviously lower than that in treating APL.
