Phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase (PRS) 1, encoded by PRPS1 gene, is the first limiting enzyme participating in the synthetic process of nucleic acids. Consequently, it has a great effect on cell functions, especially the synthesis and metabolism of purine and pyrimidine. Some changes in PRS1 crystal structure might exert inconceivable effects on enzyme activity and lead to disorder of purine/pyrimidine metabolism, even cellular energy metabolism failure. Inherited mutation may induce disfunction of some energy-intensive tissue, the common clinical manifestations are some clinical syndrome. In addition, PRPS1 mutations found in cancer are proved to be an important cause of tumor resistance, followed by patient relapse. In a word, PRS1 plays a key role in energy metabolism, signal transduction and nucleic acid synthesis, which is of great significance in maintaining physiological activities. This article mainly focuses on the physiological functions and crystal structure of PRS1, the regulation of cell metabolism by PRPS1 gene and its mutations, as well as clinical syndromes related to PRPS1 gene mutation. Key words: Phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate; Syndrome; Metabolism; Phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase; PRPS1 gene

Objective To investigate the pathogenesis and clinical characteristics of familial leukemia. Methods In October 2012 and December 2018, 2 patients with acute leukemia(AL) admitted to the Department of Hematology, Taizhou People′s Hospital were included in this study. Two patients were 34 and 65 years old, respectively. Routine blood examination, bone marrow cell morphology examination, chromosome karyotype analysis, leukemia cell immunotyping, minimal residual disease (MRD) detection and fusion gene detection were performed on the 2 patients. The clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of the patients were analyzed retrospectively. The procedure of this study is accordance with the requirement of the revised World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki in 2013. Results ① Case 1 (the son) was admitted to the Department of Hematology, Taizhou People′s Hospital on October 23, 2012, due to " dizziness, fatigue, and sleep hyperhidrosis for 3 months" . After admission, the result of bone marrow cell morphology revealed hyper-cellularity with 38.5% of lymphoblasts and prolymphocytes, and immunophenotype analysis of leukemia blasts showed that the neoplastic cells were positive for CD34, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) -DR, CD10, CD20 and CD19. No abnormal karyotype was observed in cytogenetic analysis. The patient was diagnosed with B-cell lymphoma/leukemia. Subsequently, 4 cycles of R+ hyper-CVAD (rituximab+ cyclophosphamide+ vindesine+ epirubicin+ dexamethasone)/R+ MA (rituximab+ methotrexate+ cytarabine) chemotherapy were performed, combined with 8 intrathecal injections (methotrexate combined with dexamethasone or cytarabine). Bone marrow cell morphology revealed complete remission (CR), and MRD were negative during this period of time. On April 26, 2013, autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) was performed, and rituximab was used for consolidation treatment twice since then. On November 8, 2013, the result of bone marrow cell morphology reported hypercellularity with 35.0% lymphoma cells, which indicated relapse of the disease. The patient achieved CR again after VDCLP (vindazine+ daunorubicin+ cyclophosphamide+ papeurase+ prednisone) and CA (cyclophosphamide+ cytarabine) chemotherapy, but still relapsed. On March 12, 2014, the patient received haploid hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) and then achieved CR. On April 3, 2015, the result of bone marrow cell morphology showed obviously proliferation of karyote cells with 22.0% of prolymphocyte, and immunophenotype of leukemia blasts was positive for CD34, CD22, CD19, CD33 and HLA-DR. No abnormal karyotype was observed in cytogenetic analysis. These findings led to the diagnosis of B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (B-ALL). The patient was then given salvage treatment of decitabine combined with VLP (vintelide+ pemetrex+ dexamethasone) chemotherapy, and CR was achieved with the MRD ratio of 0.13%. Multiple regimens of chemotherapy were given

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a hematological malignant disease originated from B or T cells. The occurrence and development of ALL are related to the bone marrow microenvironment, which is a complex network system, including osteoblasts, stromal cells, mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), adipose cells, macrophages and regulatory T cells (Treg). The abnormal bone marrow microenvironment formed by the changes of biological characteristics of these cells provides a suitable space for the growth and proliferation of ALL cells. To explore the effect of abnormal bone marrow microenvironment on the occurrence and development of ALL, this review summarizes the advances in the abnormal bone marrow microenvironment of patients with ALL, and interaction between the various related cells and ALL cells.

Gene therapy can correct the coagulation disorder permanently which can be a promising alternative for hemophilia A (HA) patients. There could be different targeted cells of human for gene therapy of HA. To solve some questions of hepatocyte-targeted gene therapy, platelet-targeted gene therapy with the FⅧ expression restricted in platelets has been developed in recent years. Platelet-targeted gene therapy strategy has been developed, in which FⅧ expression is driven by various platelet-specific promoters such as platelet glycoprotein alpha Ⅱb promoter, glycoprotein Ⅰb promoter and platelet factor-4 promoter. This gene therapy strategy has been proved to have advantages in many ways. Firstly, a substantial amount of FⅧ had potent effects to promote hemostasis and activate coagulation, which were accumulated at the sites of injury or bleeding. Then, FⅧ is stored in the alpha-granules of platelets, which greatly reduces the exposure time of FⅧ in the blood circulation, reduces the production of autoantibodies and the opportunity for FⅧ and autoantibodies. This review summarizes studies on platelet-specific gene therapy for HA in recent years. Key words: Hemophilia A; Genetic therapy; Platelet targeted; FⅧ ectopic expression; Platelet activation

Objective To explore the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), and the management of retinoic acid syndrome (RAS) during treatment of APL. Methods On December 28, 2018, one case of APL patient with complex karyotype complicated by RAS who was admitted to the Hematological Disease Center of Lanzhou General Hospital, was selected as the subject. By retrospective analysis, the clinical data of this patient were collected, and the clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment process were analyzed. Induction chemotherapy of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) combined with arsenic trioxide (ATO) was used to treat APL: ATRA 20 mg/time, twice a day, oral, d1-28; ATO 10 mL/d, intravenous injection, d1-14. The RAS treatment regimen was to reduce or discontinue ATRA or ATO, and intravenous injected dexamethasone 10 mg/time, twice a day as soon as possible until hypoxemia is relieved. When patient′s white blood cell count (WBC)>10×109/L and continuously elevated, anthracycline or cytarabine was administrated as appropriate. The procedure followed in this study were in accordance with the requirements of the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki revised in 2013. And this patient signed the informed consents for clinical trials. Results On January 1, 2019, the patient was diagnosed as APL, with PML-RARα (Bcr1 type) positive, complex karyotype and intermediate risk group, based on complete results of relevant laboratory and auxiliary examination. This patient achieved good efficacy after treatment of ATRA+ ATO regimen. After treatment with ATRA, the patient presented fever, respiratory failure, pleural effusion, and increased WBC, etc.. Then RAS was considered. After treatment with dexamethasone, pirarubicin and symptomatic treatment, the patient′s clinical symptoms of RAS were significantly improved. As of February 2019, the patient was generally in good condition and was currently being followed up regularly. Conclusions ATRA+ ATO regimen has a good efficacy in treatment of APL. When RAS appears during the treatment, glucocorticoids and corresponding treatment should be actively used. Since only one patient was retrospectively analyzed in this study, the exact efficacy of APL and RAS needs further verification by expanding the study sample size.

Methods From March 2015 to July 2017, a total of 1 307 Han nationality blood donors who were negative for RhD primary screening when participated in the voluntary blood donation at Weifang Blood Center, were selected as subjects. Among them, there were 921 male donors and 386 females, aged 18-55 years. Serological testing method was used to confirm RhD negative of 1 307 blood donors with RhD negative of primary screening. Anti-D blood grouping reagents from 3 different manufacturers and direct antiglobulin test were performed for serological tests. Blood donors who were confirmed RhD negative by serological test were classified for Rh blood group phenotype, and the phenotype frequency of each RhCcEe and their haplotype frequencies were calculated. From September 2015 to March 2016, a total of 116 blood donors with RhD negative of primary screening were selected for RHD gene detection. PCR-sequence-specific primer (SSP) method and human erythrocyte RHD genotyping kit were used for RHD gene detection. And the gene polymorphism of RHD gene was analyzed. The frequencies of Rh blood group phenotypes and haplotypes were calculated by square root method. The test for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium of the phenotype frequency distribution of Rh blood group phenotypes were conducted by chi-square test. The procedures followed in this study were accordance with the requirements of the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki revised in 2013, and all the blood donors signed the informed consents. Results ① Among 1 307 blood donors with RhD negative of primary screening from Weifang in this study, there were 1 244 donors (95.2%) with RhD negative and 63 donors (4.8%) with RhD variants. ② Among the 1 244 RhD negative blood donors, there were 773 donors (62.14%) with ccee phenotypes, 329 cases (26.45%) with Ccee, 83 cases (6.66%) with ccEe, 40 cases (3.22%) with CCee, 18 cases (1.45%) with CcEe and 1 case (0.08%) with CCEe. The haplotype frequencies of cde, CdE, Cde and cdE were 78.83%, 0.06%, 16.99% and 4.12%, respectively. The result of test for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium showed that there was no significant difference between the observed and expected values of Rh blood group phenotype frequencies in 1 244 RhD negative blood donors (χ2=2.17, P>0.05). ③ Among 116 blood donors with RhD negative of primary screening, there were 77 cases (66.4%) with whole RHD exon deletion genotypes, 13 cases (11.2%) with RHD-CE(2-9)-D, 3 cases (2.6%) with weak D15, 19 cases (16.4%) with homozygous DEL RHD1227A, and 4 cases (3.5%) with heterozygous DEL RHD1227A. Conclusions This study preliminarily investigate characteristics of Rh blood type phenotypes and RHD gene distribution among donors with RhD negative in Weifang City, which ensure the blo

Chimeric antigen receptor modified T cells (CAR-T) therapy plays a key role in the treatment of relapsed/refractory hematological malignancies. And the efficacy of such promising therapy is influenced by many factors, including the production, expansion and lethality of CAR-T cells, the kinds and status of diseases, as well as conditioning regimens. Conditioning regimens such as lymphodepleting prior to CAR-T cells infusion are one of good help to enhance the efficacy of CAR-T therapy. Chemothrapy with cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, pentostatin, bendamustine and cytarabine, as well as total body irradiation (TBI) are main conditioning regimens of CAR-T therapy. However, the optimal selection of conditioning regimens, the optimal dose are still uncertain. This article reviews the current status and research progress of conditioning regimens in CAR-T therapy, in order to find the best scheme and improve the efficacy of CAR-T therapy.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has a high recurrence rate, high case fatality rate and drug resistance, which are major problems to be solved and a research hotspot. A number of researches confirmed that exosome-derived microRNA (miRNA) plays an important role in the disease process, such as the regulation of bone marrow microenvironment, formation of tumor blood vessels in AML, and participating in the occurrence of drug resistance. So for exosome-derived miRNA related researches in AML provide the new research direction to improve the prognosis of patients with AML and overcome drug resistance. The article intends to introduce the related role of exosome-derived miRNA in AML and the drug resistance mechanism of AML mediated by them.

Opsoclonus-myoclonus-ataxia syndrome (OMAS) is the most common type of paraneoplastic neurologic syndrome (PNS) in children. The annual incidence of OMAS is about 0.02/105, and the majority of OMAS cases occurs in children under 4 years old, especially in children with neuroblastoma (NB). The pathogenesis of OMAS associated with NB has not yet been fully clarified. The key pathophysiology might be closely associated with inflammatory reaction and resultant damage to neuronal tissues mediated primarily by autoimmune mechanisms, rather than direct tumor infiltration or metastasis. The common clinical manifestations include gait disturbances, ataxia, and myoclonus. The mainstay of management for OMAS associated with NB is the treatment of the primary tumor. This present review focuses on recent advances in the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of OMAS associated with NB.
