Objective To explore the efficacy and prognostic factors of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in the treatment of relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Methods The clinical data of 35 patients with relapsed/refractory AML treated with allo-HSCT in the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2011 to October 2018 was retrospectively analyzed. The overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), graft versus host disease (GVHD) incidence, transplantation related mortality and recurrence rate were calculated, and the risk factors affecting prognosis were analyzed. Results Hematopoietic reconstitution was obtained in all patients after transplantation. The 100 d incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ acute GVHD was (22.9±7.7)%, and the 3-year incidence of chronic GVHD was (49.5±10.60)%. The median follow-up time after transplantation was 14.1 months (4.2-89.4 months). In all cases, 18 cases survived (including 16 cases of DFS), and 17 cases died. Fourteen cases relapsed, and the median recurrence time was 4.7 months (2.9-32.4 months). The 3-year OS rate and DFS rate were (44.4±9.3)% and (43.0±9.5)%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the non-remission disease before transplantation, poor genetic risk grade before transplantation and recurrence after transplantation were the risk factors for OS (all P < 0.05). The 3-year OS rates in complete remission before transplantation group and non-remission before transplantation group were (63.2±12.0)% and (15.7±12.8)% (P = 0.025), the 3-year DFS rates were (62.2±12.3)% and (15.3±12.7)% (P = 0.028), and the 3-year recurrence rates were (28.2±10.7)% and (80.6±15.7)% (P = 0.057). The 3-year recurrence rate in genetic high-risk group was higher than that in middle-risk group and low-risk group [100.0%, (45.0±12.1)% and (14.3±13.2)%, P = 0.045]. The 3-year tansplantation related mortality was (18.7±7.7)%. Conclusions Allo-HSCT is an effective method for salvage treatment of relapsed/refractory AML, and recurrence is the main factor affecting survival. Reducing tumor load before transplantation is very important for reducing recurrence and improving curative effect.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of azacitidine combined with CAG regimen on the treatment of relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Methods The data of 50 patients with relapsed/refractory AML (non-acute promyelocytic leukemia) in Jining No. 1 People's Hospital from September 2018 to September 2019 was retrospectively analyzed, and the patients were divided into the control group and the test group according to the different treatment drugs. The control group (28 cases) was treated with CAG regimen alone, and the test group (22 cases) was treated with azacitidine combined with CAG regimen. The total effective rate and adverse reactions of the two groups were observed after 1 course of treatment. Results After one course of treatment, the total clinical effective rate in the test group was 86% (19/22), and the rate in the control group was 71% (20/28), there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (χ 2 = 5.273, P 0.05). Conclusion Azacitidine combined with CAG regimen in the treatment of relapsed/refractory AML can improve the clinical efficacy without increasing the adverse reactions.

Objective To investigate the effects of triptolide (TPL) and BET protein inhibitor JQ1 on proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction of MLL-rearranged acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell line MV4-11, and to explore their synergistic mechanisms. Methods MV4-11 cells in logarithmic growth phase were treated with different concentrations (100, 200, 300, and 400 nmol/L) of JQ1, 4 nmol/L TPL or different concentrations of JQ1 combined with 4 nmol/L TPL for 48 h. Cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 method, apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry (FCM), mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by JC-1 method, and expressions of mitochondrial apoptosis pathway-related proteins were detected by Western blot. Results The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of MV4-11 cells treated with JQ1 for 48 h was (283.9±10.7) nmol/L. However, 4 nmol/L TPL significantly enhanced the inhibitory effect of JQ1 on proliferation of MV4-11 cells, the IC50 value of MV4-11 cells treated with JQ1 combined with TPL was (148.1±2.6) nmol/L, and the difference was statistically significant (t = 25.31, P = 0.029). The result of FCM assay showed that compared with the JQ1 alone group [(9.6±2.3)%, (12.6±1.4)%, (19.5±3.3)%, and (22.7±2.1)%], 4 nmol/L TPL combined with different concentrations (100, 200, 300, and 400 nmol/L) of JQ1 acted on MV4-11 cells for 48 h, the proportions of apoptotic cells were (16.4±1.9)%, (27.5±2.1)%, (32.9±3.6)%, and (35.5±3.0)%, respectively, the difference was statistically significant (F = 9.25, P < 0.01). After treated with 4 nmol/L TPL and JQ1 for 12 h, the level of cell membrane potential in MV4-11 cells was significantly lower than that of JQ1 single agent group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). After treated by 4 nmol/L TPL combined with JQ1 for 24 h, the levels of anti-apoptotic proteins bcl-2 and Mcl-1 decreased, and the level of pro-apoptotic protein bax increased. Conclusion TPL can significantly enhance the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction effects of BET protein inhibitor JQ1 on MLL-rearranged AML cells, and the mechanism may be related to enhancing the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway.

The Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor ibrtinib has excellent results in B-cell lymphoma. However, there are still unmet treatment needs in clinical practice. New BTK inhibitors are highly selective and specific, reducing off-target effects. The overall response rate (ORR) of acalabrutinib combination therapy is more than 90%, and high rates of peripheral blood and bone marrow minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative are obtained. Orelabrutinib is a new domestic BTK inhibitor, the results of a phase Ⅱ study showed that the ORR in relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma is 88.5%, and in mantle cell lymphoma is 82.5%. Another new domestic BTK inhibitor zanubrutinib, international multi-center study showed that ORR is 95.9% in relapsed/refractory CLL, and in treatment-naive chronic lymphocytic leukemia with del (17p) is 92.2%. In addition, non-covalent BTK inhibitors are also emerging, which are expected to overcome the problem of resistance to BTK inhibitors.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in Shandong province. Methods The clinicopathological data of 2 886 NHL cases in Shandong Cancer Hospital from January 2002 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed, the clinicopathological characteristics of patients were summarized and compared with other regions in China and abroad. Results The median age of all NHL cases was 52 years old (4-90 years old), and the ratio of male to female was 1.57∶1. The subtypes distribution analysis revealed that B-cell NHL (B-NHL) accounted for 66.7% (1 925 cases) of all cases and T-cell NHL (T-NHL) accounted for 27.3% (788 cases) of all cases. The common subtypes were diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (36.0%, 1 039/2 886), NK/T-cell lymphoma (8.8%, 254/2 886), follicular lymphoma (8.2%, 237/2 886) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma (7.4%, 214/2 886). Of all the cases, the nodal lymphomas accounted for 45.8% (1 322 cases) and the extra nodal lymphomas accounted for 54.2% (1 564 cases); there were 389 patients (13.5%) with stage Ⅰ, 678 patients (23.5%) with stage Ⅱ, 975 patients (33.8%) with stage Ⅲ, and 722 patients (25.0%) with stage Ⅳ. The distribution of NHL subtypes in Shandong province was consistent with the domestic multicenter study. However, T-NHL subtype ratio was significantly higher than the foreign studies. Conclusions The overall incidence of NHL in Shandong province of China is dominated by middle-aged people, and the proportion of B-NHL is higher than that of T-NHL. The distribution of NHL subtypes in Shandong province of China are different from those in the European and American countries, but are roughly consistent with the domestic multicenter study.

Objective To explore the clinical features and prognosis of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL) complicated with EB virus (EBV) infection. Methods The results of detection of EBV antibody and EBV-DNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 196 children with ALL diagnosed in Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2015 to January 2019 were collected. According to the results, 196 children with ALL were divided into EBV infection group and non-EBV infection group. The hepatomegaly and splenomegaly, chromosome, peripheral blood routine, immunophenotyping, clinical risk, secondary infection during chemotherapy, minimal residual disease (MRD) of day 46 after chemotherapy, karyotype, and prognosis were compared between the two groups. The children were followed up until April 30, 2019. Results Among 196 children with ALL, EBV infection rate was 72.96% (143/196). The EBV-DNA level [median (P25, P75)] of peripheral blood mononuclear cells was 3.7×103 copies/L(1.6×103 copies/L, 8.8×103 copies/L). The incidence of hepatosplenomegaly (subcostal ≥ 5 cm) in EBV infection group was higher than that in non-EBV infected group [14.69% (21/143) vs. 3.77% (2/53), χ 2= 4.45, P= 0.035]. There was no significant difference in the number of white blood cells and the incidence of abnormal karyotype between EBV infection group and non-EBV infection group (both P > 0.05). The secondary infection rate in EBV infection group was higher than that in the non-EBV infection group [41.96% (60/143) vs.24.53% (13/53), χ2= 5.03, P= 0.025], and the remission rate of day 46 in EBV-infection group was lower than that in non-EBV infection group [80.42% (115/143) vs. 98.11% (52/53), χ2= 9.60, P= 0.020]. The recurrence rate in EBV-infection group was higher than that in non-EBV infectious group [11.89% (17/143) vs. 1.89% (1/53), χ2= 4.64, P= 0.031], and there was a significant difference in the component ratio of immunophenotyping and clinical risk between the two groups (both P < 0.05). Conclusions The hepatosplenomegaly in children with ALL complicated with EBV infection is obvious, the secondary infection rate is high, the remission rate is low, the recurrence rate is high, and the prognosis is poor. EBV infection may be related to immunophenotyping and clinical risk in children with ALL, and has nothing to do with the abnormal karyotypes.
