Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a common type of acute leukemia (AL), belonging to malignant tumors of the hematopoietic system with the characteristics of rapid disease development, control with extreme difficulties, easy recurrence, poor prognosis, and incidence rate increasing with age. The traditionally diagnostic standard of French American British (FAB), being based on the morphological examination with high human subjectivity, can no longer meet the demand of clinical diagnosis and treatment of AML. Requirements of objective accuracy and low-dose sample, have become the indispensable method for AML diagnosis and monitoring prognosis. Flow cytometry is a modern technology that can quickly and accurately detect the series, antigen distribution, differentiation stage of AML cells, minimal residual lesions after AML therapy, so as to provide the great significance in guiding clinical diagnosis, hierarchical treatment, and prognosis judgement. This article will systematically elaborate on the application of flow cytometry in the diagnosis and classification of AML, and the detection of minimal residual lesions, thereby providing reference significance for dynamic monitoring and prognostic observation of AML with different immune subtypes of FAB.
急性髓性白血病(AML)是急性白血病(AL)的一种常见类型,属于造血系统恶性肿瘤,具有病情发展快、控制极为困难、易复发、预后差、发病率随年龄增长而增加等特点。传统的法美英(FAB)诊断标准以形态学检查为基础,人为主观性较强,已不能满足 AML 临床诊断和治疗的需求。客观准确、低剂量样本的要求,已成为急性髓细胞白血病诊断和预后监测不可或缺的方法。流式细胞术是一种现代技术,能快速、准确地检测AML细胞的系列、抗原分布、分化分期、AML治疗后的最小残留病灶等,为指导临床诊断、分级治疗、预后判断提供重要意义。本文将系统阐述流式细胞术在AML诊断分型、极小残留病灶检测中的应用,从而为FAB不同免疫亚型AML的动态监测和预后观察提供参考意义。
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC)
Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnostic application of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells.
The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal''s scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest.
