Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis (CMVR) is a common opportunistic infection of the eye after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with hematological diseases. It often occurs within 3 months after the operation, with CMV activation and high blood CMV peaks. It often occurs on patients with long-term CMV viremia, human leukocyte antigen incompatible transplantation, unrelated donor transplantation, haploid transplantation, childhood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, delayed lymphocyte engraftment, acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease after surgery. The visual prognosis of patients is related to the area of CMVR lesions on the retina, the number of quadrants involved, whether the macula is involved, and the CMV load of the vitreous body is involved, and it is not related to whether the Epstein-Barr virus infection is combined with blood and vitreous humor. The incidence of CMVR is increasing year by year. It is helpful that paying attention to systemic risk factors and epidemiology can provide more effective guidance for ophthalmologists during diagnosis and treatment, help patients improve the prognosis of vision, and reduce or even avoid the occurrence of blindness caused by CMVR.
【摘要】 目的 分析异基因造血干细胞移植术（allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation，allo-HSCT）后出血性膀胱炎（hemorrhagic cystitis，HC）相关的危险因素，动态监测受者尿BK病毒（BK virus，BKV），分析其与HC发病的关系。 方法 回顾性分析2003年3月-2008年1月期间接受allo-HSCT的121例患者的资料，选择8个临床参数[年龄、性别、疾病类型、移植时疾病状态、供者类型、预处理方案、急性移植物抗宿主病（acute graft-versus-host disease，aGVHD）、aGVHD的预防方案]作COX回归分析。采用SYBR Green染料实时荧光定量聚合酶链反应法对2006年9月-2008年1月42例allo-HSCT患者尿BKV载量进行动态监测，分析被检查者尿液BKV基因载量与HC发生以及严重程度的关系。 结果 121例患者中有24例发生HC，发病时间为术后0~63 d，中位时间40 d；持续时间7~150 d，中位时间22 d。Ⅱ~Ⅳ度aGVHD为HC的独立危险因素[RR=8.304，95%CI（1.223，56.396），P=0.030]。allo-HSCT受者尿液中BKV检出率为100%（42/42）。与正常人及未发生HC的allo-HSCT受者相比，HC患者尿中BKV基因载量具有更高平均峰值。 结论 Ⅱ~Ⅳ度aGVHD，尿中BKV DNA高载量与HC的发生有相关性。【Abstract】 Objective To identify the risk factors for hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), and define the quantitative relationship between BK virus (BKV) DNA load with HC. Methods The medical records of 121 patients undergoing allo-HSCT from March 2003 to January 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. Eight clinical parameters were selected for COX regression analysis, including age, sex, underlying disease, disease status at transplant, donor type, conditioning regimen, acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), and GVHD prophylaxis. From September 2006 to January 2008, mid-stream urine samples were continuously collected from 42 patients with allo-HSCT. SYBR green real-time polymerase chain reaction, technique was utilized to define the quantitative relationship between BKV DNA load and HC. Results Twenty-four out of 121 patients developed HC. The median time of onset was 40 days after HSCT, ranged from 0 to 63 days. The disease lasted for 7 to 150 days, with a median duration of 22 days. Grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD [RR=8.304, 95% CI (1.223,56.396); P=0.030] was identified as an independent risk factor for the occurrence of HC. BKV excretion was detected in 100% (42/42) of the recipients of allo-HSCT. When compared with asymptomatic patients and allo-HSCT recipients without HC, patients with HC had a significantly higher mean peak BKV DNA load. Conclusions Patients are at an increased risk of developing HC if they have grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD. A correlation between the load of BKV and incidence of HC may exist.
【摘要】 目的 探讨对自体造血干细胞移植（autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation，auto-HSCT）后复发的非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者再进行异基因造血干细胞移植（allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation，allo-HSCT）治疗的临床疗效。 方法 收集2000年1月-2010年12月难治性恶性淋巴瘤采用auto-HSCT后复发患者11例，病程27个月~6.5年。所有患者在auto-HSCT前均为复发难治性病例，auto-HSCT后，完全缓解8例，部分缓解3例，自体移植后中位复发时间15个月，患者复发后采用异基因亲缘造血干细胞移植，人类白细胞抗原（human leukocyte antigen，HLA）全相合（6/6）6例，5/6相合3例，4/6相合2例；性别相同6例，性别不同5例。预处理方案为FBC方案，即氟达拉滨30 mg/m2 1~5 d，白消安12~14 mg/kg分4 d口服，环磷酰胺120 mg/kg分2 d使用。移植物均为外周血造血干细胞加骨髓。移植物抗宿主病（graft-versus-host disease，GVHD）的预防：HLA全相合采用环孢素+短程甲氨蝶呤+吗替麦考酚酯，不全相合采用抗胸腺细胞球蛋白+环孢素+短程甲氨蝶呤+吗替麦考酚酯。 结果 11例患者全部获得造血重建，急性GVHD发生6例（54.55%），其中Ⅰ度、Ⅱ度4例，Ⅲ度、Ⅳ度各1例；1例Ⅳ度GVHD因合并感染死亡，5例均得到有效控制；发生慢性GVHD 7例（63.64%），其中有2例急性GVHD转为慢性，4例局限型，3例广泛型。随访8个月~9年，有4例分别于移植后8、15、21、34个月疾病复发，另外6例仍生存。 结论 allo-HSCT对于auto-HSCT后复发的非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者仍是一种有效的挽救性治疗手段。【Abstract】 Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) on relapsing non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma after autologous stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT). Methods The clinical data of 11 patients with recurrent non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma after auto-HSCT from January 2000 to December 2010 were collected, including nine males and 2 females with the median age of 39 years (13-48 years old), and the median duration of the disease was 3 years (27 months-6.5 years). All patients were relapsed or refractory cases. After auto-HSCT, complete remission was found in 8 and partial remission was in 3. The recurrence median time after auto-HSCT was 15 months. The patients underwent allo-HSCT after the recurrence of the disease. In the 11 patients, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) full matched (6/6) in 6, 5/6 matched in 3, and 4/6 matched in 2; the same gender in 6 and different gender in 5. FBC conditioning regimen: fludarabine 30 mg/m2 for 1-5 days, BU 12-14 mg/kg in 4 days of oral, CY 120 mg/kg in 2 days. Grafts are peripheral blood stem cells plus bone marrow. Prevention of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD): HLA full-matched by CsA+short-term MTX+MMF and mismatched by ATG+CsA+short-term MTX+MMF. Results All of the 11 patients received hematopoietic reconstruction, acute GVHD occurred in 6 cases (54.55%), including degree Ⅰ plus Ⅱ in 4, degree Ⅲ in 1 and degree Ⅳ in 1. One patient died of infection due to degree Ⅳ GVHD, and the rest had been effectively controlled. Chronic GVHD occurred in 7 patients (63.64%); limited type was in 4 in and extensive type was in 3. During the follow-up period of 8 months-9 years, 4 patients relapsed 8, 15, 21, and 34 months after transplantation, and the other 6 patients was still alive. Conclusion Allo-HSCT is effective on relapsing non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma after auto-HSCT.
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical features of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis (CMVR)-related uveitis after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).MethodsA retrospective clinical study. From October 2015 to May 2020, 14 cases of 21 eyes of CMVR patients with CMVR after HSCT confirmed by the ophthalmological examination of The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were included in the study. Among them, there were 5 males with 8 eyes and 9 females with 13 eyes. The average age was 35.12±12.24 years old. All the affected eyes were examined by slit lamp microscope combined with front lens and fundus color photography. At the same time, fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA) was performed to examine 10 eyes of 5 cases; 3 cases of 3 eyes were examined for inflammatory cytokines in aqueous humor. All eyes received intravitreal injection of ganciclovir; patients with a history of systemic CMV infection received intravenous infusion of ganciclovir/foscarnet. The retinal lesions in the eye were completely resolved or the aqueous CMV-DNA was negative as a cure for CMVR. The uveitis symptoms, signs, FFA manifestations and the test results of inflammatory factors in aqueous humor before and after the CMVR cure was observed. The follow-up time after CMVR was cured was 3-42 months, and the average follow-up time was 14.28±13.12 months.ResultsAll eyes with CMVR were diagnosed with retrocorneal dust and/or stellate keratic precipitates (KP), anterior chamber flare and cells, and varying degrees of vitreous flocculent opacity; the retina was typical of a mixture of hemorrhage and yellow-white necrosis like "scrambled eggs with tomatoes". After CMVR was cured, there were 16 eyes (71.4%, 10/14) in 10 cases with KP, anterior chamber flare, cell and vitreous opacity. FFA examination revealed that the majority of retinal leakage during the active period of CMVR was necrotic foci and surrounding tissues; after CMVR was cured, the majority of retinal leakage was the retina and blood vessels in the non-necrotic area. The test results of inflammatory factors in aqueous humor showed that interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and vascular endothelial cell adhesion molecules were significantly increased in the active phase of CMVR; after 3 months of CMVR cured, inflammatory factors did not increase significantly.ConclusionCMVR-associated uveitis after HSCT show as chronic panuveitis, with no obvious eye congestion, KP, anterior chamber flare, cell and vitreous opacity, and retinal vessel leakage which could exist for a long time (＞3 months).
Objective To systematically review the survival outcome and safety of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) for β-thalassemia. Methods The PubMed, EMbase, CNKI, WanFang Data and CBM databases were electronically searched to collect studies on haplo-HSCT for β-thalassemia from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2021. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed by using RevMan 5.4.1 software and Stata 16.0 software. Results A total of 6 case-series studies involving 286 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis indicated that overall survival (OS) and thalassemia-free survival (TFS) for β-thalassemia patients undergoing haplo-HSCT were 92.5% (95%CI 86.1% to 96.1%) and 88.5% (95%CI 74.6% to 95.3%), the incidence of Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree acute graft versus host disease (Ⅲ-Ⅳ aGvHD) and chronic graft versus host disease (cGvHD) were 11.5% (95%CI 6.5% to 20.0%) and 23.1% (95%CI 12.3% to 39.8%), and the transplantation related mortality was 6.5% (95%CI 3.8% to 10.7%). Conclusion Relevant clinical studies published in the past 5 years provide the latest information and progress of haplo-HSCT for β-thalassemia. At present, great efficacy has been shown in NF-14-TM therapeutic regimen, but the long-term efficacy remains unclear. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality evidence from long-term comparative studies is still needed.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of non-myeloablative stem cell transplantation (NST) for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) after first autologous stem cell transplantation. MethodsSuch databases as The Cochrane Library (Issue 5, 2013), PubMed, EMbase, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data were electronically searched to collect studies investigated the efficacy and safety of NST and non-NST for the treatment of MM after first autologous stem cell transplantation from the date of their establishment to June 13th 2013. Two reviewers independently screened studies according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data and evaluated the methodological quality of the included studies. Then meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.1 software. ResultsSeven studies involving 1 961 participants were included, of which 626 cases were in the NST group and 1 335 cases were in the non-NST group. The results of meta-analysis showed that no significant difference was found between both groups in the overall survival rate (HR=1.06, 95%CI 0.78 to 1.44, P=0.69) and progress-free survival rate (HR=0.92, 95%CI 0.76 to 1.11, P=0.39). However, there were significant differences in the complete remission rate (RR=1.29, 95%CI 1.13 to 1.48, P=0.000 2) and treatment-related mortality rate (RR=3.40, 95%CI 2.27 to 5.07, P < 0.000 01). ConclusionThe efficacy of NST is not superior to non-NST for patients with MM which has received first autologous stem cell transplantation. It is not sufficient to recommend NST as the first-line treatment of MM based on the currently available evidence.
