Objective To search evidence in the treatment of Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) for guiding chnical practice. Methods We searched MEDLINE (February, 1970~July, 2005 ) and SUMSEAILCH (till July, 2005 )to identify systematic reviews(SIL), randomized controlled trials(RCTs) and controlled clinical trials (CCTs) in the treatment of Ph-positive ALL. Results One RCT and 8 CCTs were identified. The results showed that Ph-positive ALL had a very poor prognosis . Chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation (BMT) were the two main ways to treat the disease. Outcome of conventional chemotherapy treatment for adults with the disease was poor. Outcome of treatment with hyper-CVAD and imatinib mesylate was better and BMT was the only way which could potentially cure the disease. Conclusions Treatment of Ph-positive ALL with hyper-CVAD and imatinib mesylate may induce higher remission rate and disease free survival rate. BMT is the best way to cure the disease.
目的:了解左旋门冬酰胺酶(L-ASP)对儿童急性淋巴细胞白血病凝血功能变化的影响。方法:观察86例患儿在诱导缓解后治疗期间,L-ASP使用前后活化部分凝血活酶时间(APTT)、凝血酶原时间(PT)、凝血酶时间(TT)、纤维蛋白原(FIB)、抗凝血酶Ⅲ(AT-Ⅲ)、D-二聚体变化情况。结果:与用药前比,用药结束后一天的PT、APTT、TT均显著延长(P<0.01);FIB、AT-Ⅲ显著降低(P<0.01),D-二聚体显著升高(P<0.01);用药结束后1周时PT、APTT、TT、D-二聚体较用药前差异无显著性,FIB、AT-Ⅲ虽有回升,但仍低于正常(P<0.01)。结论:L-ASP可引起ALL患儿凝血功能异常,尤其对FIB、AT-Ⅲ影响明显,应引起临床高度重视。L-Asp主要影响蛋白质的合成而引起蛋白质成份的凝血因子减少,从而引起凝血功能障碍,且对纤维蛋白原的合成影响更为显著。
Objective To assess the clinical effectiveness and safety of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methods We searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, CNKI, and VIP databases from January 2000 to October 2009. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about G-CSF for patients with ALL were retrieved. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed and the data was extracted according the Cochrane Reviewer’s Handbook. Meta-analyses for overall survival, complete remission, quality of life, infections, relapse rate, and adverse events were performed using RevMan 5.0 software. Results Six RCTs involving 620 patients with ALL were included. The results of meta-analyses showed that the G-CFS group was superior to the control group in the overall survival of adult ALL patients (RR=2.24, 95%CI 1.28 to 3.90, P=0.004). Conclusion G-CSF can improve the overall survival of adult ALL patients. However, it is not demonstrated that G-CSF could improve complete remission rate and quality of life, and reduce infections and relapse rate. More high-quality and large scale RCTs are required.
目的 探讨冬凌草甲素(Ori)对白血病Molt-4细胞致凋亡作用及其可能的机制。 方法 将不同浓度的Ori(2.5、5、10、20、40 μmol/L)作用于Molt-4细胞。采用甲基噻唑基四唑(MTT)法检测细胞增殖,流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡,电子显微镜观察细胞凋亡超微结构的变化,Western blot方法分析凋亡相关蛋白及Caspase-3表达的变化。 结果 Ori可抑制Molt-4细胞的生长及诱导凋亡,并有时间-剂量依赖性;Ori可时间依赖性的下调抗凋亡蛋白Bcl-2的表达,上调促凋亡蛋白Bax和Bim表达以及活化Caspase-3。 结论 Ori可诱导Molt-4细胞凋亡,其机制可能与调节Bcl-2家族蛋白及活化Caspase-3有关。
【摘要】 目的 观察急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)患儿血清铁蛋白(SF)及β2-微球蛋白(β2-MG)水平变化,探讨SF和β2-MG水平变化对ALL患儿临床治疗效果的应用价值。 方法 对2008年7月-2010年4月期间血液病区住院确诊为ALL的患儿53例,病情得到控制缓解后的ALL患儿28例,分别抽取空腹静脉血进行SF和β2-MG测定,并选取正常健康儿童30例作为对照组。 结果 ALL患儿治疗前血清SF和β2-MG水平均高于正常对照组(Plt;0.01),经治疗缓解后ALL患儿的SF和β2-MG水平显著降低,并随着病情的转归而逐渐恢复至正常水平;与治疗前比较,差异有统计学意义(Plt;0.01)。 结论 SF和β2-MG可作为ALL临床治疗效果的有效监测指标。【Abstract】 Objective To observe the dynamic changes of Serum Ferritin(SF) and β2-MG levels in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL) and to investigate its clinical significance on clinical curative effect. Methods Fifty-three in-patients with ALL, 28 relieved patients from July 2008 to April 2010 in our Hematology and 30 normal as control were selected in our study. The venousblood of patients and controls were extract in order to detect SF and β2-MG. Results Before the treatment, the level of SF and β2-MG in ALL group were significantly higher than those in the control group (Plt;0.01). After the treatment, the level of SF and β2-MG in ALL group decreased significantly (Plt;0.01), and they return to normal level gradually with the outcome; compared with before the treatment, the differences were statistically significant(Plt;0.01). Conclusion SF and β2-MG can be used as a helpful indicator to evaluate the therapeutic effect of ALL.
ObjectiveTo report and analyze one case of Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) initially presented with skeletal destruction treated with imatinib-based personal therapy. MethodsWe described the therapeutic advancements for ALL cases initially presented as skeletal destruction and Ph+ ALL through case report and literature review. ResultsDefinite diagnosis of Ph+ ALL was made for the patient who subsequently obtained inductive remission and 17-month molecular remission with the aid of imatinib-based regimen. ConclusionWe should take potential diagnosis of ALL into consideration for patients with skeletal destruction. Imatinib-based standard chemotherapeutic regimen may improve therapeutic model and prognosis of Ph+ ALL.
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical features and outcomes of relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children. MethodsThirty-two ALL children treated in line with the Chinese Child Leukemia Cooperative Group ALL-2008 protocol with a relapse of the disease during January 2009 to May 2013 were enrolled into this study. Their clinical features and outcomes were retrospectively analyzed and compared with those who achieved continuous complete remission (CCR). ResultsThere were 32 relapsed cases among 319 newly diagnosed ALL cases (excluding infantile ALL) during the study period, with a relapse rate of 10%. In the relapse group, the proportions of patients with peripheral blood white blood cell count ≥50×109/L at diagnosis, positive BCR/ABL fusion gene, poor prednisone response, high risk stratification, and who failed to achieve bone marrow complete remission at d15 and d33 of induction chemotherapy, were significantly higher than those in the CCR group (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that high risk stratification was an independent risk factor for relapse (OR=3.529, P=0.002). In terms of site of relapse, isolated marrow relapse, isolated central nervous system relapse, isolated testicular relapse and combined relapse accounted for 23 (72%), 6 (19%), 1 (3%) and 2 (6%), respectively. As regard to the time of relapse, 26 cases (81%), 4 cases (13%) and 2 cases (6%) were categorized as very early relapse, early relapse and late relapse respectively. Twenty-four children with relapsed ALL received re-induction chemotherapy. Among them, 16 cases (67%) achieved second complete remission. Nevertheless, 9 cases ultimately suffered second relapse. ConclusionRelapse, which occurs more commonly in high risk ALL group, still remains a great challenge in clinical practice. Relapsed ALL, especially those with very early and early marrow relapse, has poor prognosis.
