Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare occurrence and curative effect of interstitial pneumonia (IP) of patients with malignant hematologic disease after related HLA-haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation without T-cell depletion (RHNT-PBSCT) and non T cell-depleted HLA-matched sibling peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (MSNT-PBSCT). METHODS 109 patients with malignant hematologic disease as the research cases received RHNT-PBSCT from January 2006 to December 2014, which were compared with 125 patients treated with MSNT-PBSCT during the same period to determine the occurrence of IP and curative effect produced by ganciclovir and joint adrenal glucocorticoids. RESULTS The incidences of IP in RHNT-PBSCT and MSNT-PBSCT groups were 15.60%(17/109) and 13.60%(17/125) (P=0.150), respectively; both the effective rates were 76.47%(13/17) (P=0.536), the difference was not statistically significant. Single factor analysis showed that acute graft versus host disease was a risk factor for the occurrence of IP after RHNT-PBSCT (P=0.001). CONCLUSION The incidence of IP in patients with malignant hematologic disease after RHNT-PBSCT didn' t increase when compared with patients after MSNT-PBSCT. The curative effects of the two groups were equivalent after priority to ganciclovir and joint adrenal glucocorticoids.

Abstract
Clinical research examining the role of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in the therapy of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in adults is presented and critically evaluated in this systematic evidence-based review. Specific criteria were used for searching the published literature and for grading the quality and strength of the evidence and the strength of the treatment recommendations. Treatment recommendations based on the evidence are presented in Table 3, entitled Summary of Treatment Recommendations Made by the Expert Panel for Adult Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, and were reached unanimously by a panel of AML experts. The identified priority areas of needed future research in adult AML include: (1) What is the role of HSCT in treating patients with specific molecular markers (eg, FLT3, NPM1, CEBPA, BAALC, MLL, NRAS, etc.) especially in patients with normal cytogenetics? (2) What is the benefit of using HSCT to treat different cytogenetic subgroups? (3) What is the impact on survival outcomes of reduced intensity or nonmyeloablative versus conventional conditioning in older (>60 years) and intermediate (40-60 years) aged adults? (4) What is the impact on survival outcomes of unrelated donor HSCT vesus chemotherapy in younger (<40 years) adults with high risk disease?

Abstract
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection in immunocompromised patients is associated with impaired immunological function. Blood monocytes, which differentiate into macrophage effector cells, are of central importance for immune reactivity. Here, we demonstrate that HCMV transiently blocks cytokine-induced differentiation of monocytes into functionally active phagocytic macrophages. In HCMV-treated cultures, the cells had classical macrophage markers but lacked the classical morphological appearance of macrophages and had impairments in migration and phagocytosis. Even at very low multiplicities of infection, macrophage differentiation was almost completely inhibited. The inhibition appeared to be mediated by a soluble factor released upon viral treatment of monocytes. Human immunodeficiency virus or measles virus had no such effects. These findings suggest that HCMV impairs immune function by blocking certain aspects of cytokine-induced differentiation of monocytes and demonstrate an efficient pathway for this virus to evade immune recognition that may have clinical implications for the generalized immunosuppression often observed in HCMV-infected patients.

Abstract
Patients who undergo autologous bone marrow transplantation for acute leukemia are at high risk for relapse. We have evaluated the feasibility of administering cell-mediated immunotherapy with family-related haploidentical lymphocytes following autologous bone marrow transplantation in order to evoke a graft-vs-leukemia effect in the autologous setting.Twenty-six patients aged 1.5-48 years were enrolled in this study. Eighteen suffered from acute myeloid leukemia, seven from acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and one from myelodysplastic syndrome. Eleven patients were transplanted in first remission, six in second remission, one in fourth remission, and eight in relapse. Conditioning consisted of Busulfan/Cyclophosphamide or Busulfan/Thiotepa/Cyclophosphamide. Nineteen patients (Group A) were treated with gradual increments of haploidentical donor T cells, starting on day +1, with an additional course of T cells plus intravenous recombinant human interleukin-2 one month later if no signs of graft-vs-host disease developed in the interim. Seven patients (Group B) were treated with high-dose haploidentical T cells on day +1 in conjunction with intravenous recombinant human interleukin-2. Donor cells were detected in the peripheral blood of both groups 12-48 hours post-cell-mediated immunotherapy, peaking at 48 hours. Three patients in Group A developed transient Grade I graft-vs-host disease. One patient in Group B developed Grade I, and three Grade IV, graft-vs-host disease. Group A patients engrafted normally, but the Group B patients with Grade IV graft-vs-host disease showed no signs of engraftment. Our results show that it is feasible to induce graft-vs-host disease in the autologous stem cell transplantation setting. However, the high-dose regimen of haploidentical T cells in conjunction with interleukin-2 results in severe toxicity and nonengraftment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Debate and controversy remain as to the optimal post-remission therapy for younger patients with acute myelogenous leukaemia (AML). The aim of this study was to evaluate high-dose treatment (HDT) with autologous bone marrow support (ABMS) as consolidation of first complete remission (CR). PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred forty-four patients (AML-M3 excluded, median age 38 years, range 15-49 years) received remission induction therapy comprising: adriamycin 25 mg/m2, days 1-3, cytosine arabinoside (ara-C) and 6-thioguanine, both at 100 mg/m2 bid, days 1-7. Patients in whom CR was achieved received two further cycles of the same treatment prior to bone marrow being harvested and cryopreserved. HDT comprised ara-C: 1 g/m2 b.i.d. x six days and total body irradiation (TBI): 200 cGy b.i.d. for three days. Thawed autologous marrow was then re-infused. RESULTS Complete remission was achieved in 106 of 144 patients (73%) who were thus eligible to receive ara-C + TBI + ABMS; 61 actually received it. Following HDT, the median time to neutrophil recovery (> 0.5 x 10(9)/l) was 25 days (range 11-72 days) and to platelet recovery (> 20 x 10(9)/l), 42 days (range 15-159 days). There were eight treatment-related deaths. Analysis by 'intention to treat' shows both remission duration (log-rank, P = 0.001) and survival (log-rank, P = 0.004) to be significantly longer for the 106 patients eligible to receive HDT than for a historical control group (n = 133) who received identical remission induction and consolidation therapy but without ara-C + TBI + ABMS. With a median follow-up of 5.5 years, 39 of 106 patients remain in CR (37%) and 54 (51% of those in whom CR was achieved) remain alive, with a predicted actuarial survival of 52% at 5 years. CONCLUSIONS The addition of ara-C + TBI + ABMS to conventional consolidation therapy significantly improved remission duration and survival over those of a historical control group of patients with AML (aged < 50, AML-M3 excluded). HDT was, however, associated with significant treatment-related mortality and slow blood count recovery. The use of ara-C + TBI supported by peripheral blood progenitor cells should make the treatment safer and more widely applicable in AML.

Abstract
Multi-parameter flow cytometry (MPFC) was used to detect minimal residual disease (MRD) following bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in 21 patients. Bone marrow (BM)was analyzed pre-transplant and 3-4 months post-BMT while the patients were in clinical and morphological remission. MRD was detected by identifying cells with aberrant antigen expression and/or leukemia-associated phenotype (LAP) using MPFC. Prior to BMT, 8 out of 21 patients exhibited normal antigen expression based on normal BM samples while 13 BM aspirates had abnormal MPFC. Pre-BMT MPFC was abnormal in all 10 patients who were not in complete remission (CR) (>5% blasts in BM) as well as 3 patients acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who were in CR. In BM from ALL patients, an abnormal uniform B cell population was observed however antigen expression patterns varied greatly between patients. BM from acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) patients showed an abnormal distribution of CD34+ cells. In addition, a correlation was observed between pre-BMT cytogenetics and MPFC. Only 2 out of 8 (25%) patients with normal MPFC pre-autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) relapsed (AML), while 6 out of 13 (46%) patients with abnormal pre-BMT MPFC relapsed including 2 out of 3 patients who were transplanted in clinical CR. Pre-BMT MPFC may thus be an effective tool for detection of MRD by detection of a pre-transplant MPFC abnormality.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the outcome of autologous bone marrow transplantation for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first or greater complete remission (CR) treated by autologous bone marrow transplantation using two different preparatory regimens. METHODS AND MATERIALS Between September 1986 and August 1993, 75 patients with AML ranging in age from 6 months to 58 years underwent autologous bone marrow transplantation using previously harvested and frozen unpurged (n = 6) or 4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide purged marrows (n = 69). Patients were in first CR (n = 44) or beyond first CR (n = 31). The preparative regimen consisted of 120 mg/kg of cyclophosphamide (CY) and 1320 cGy total body irradiation (TBI) in eight fractions over 4 days (CY/TBI) in 29 patients; and 16 mg/kg of Busulfan (BU) and 200 mg/kg of CY (BU/CY) in 46 patients. Thirty-five of these 75 patients (18 CY/TBI and 17 BU/CY) were part of a randomized trial comparing the two preparative regimens. RESULTS At 2 years, overall survival and disease-free survival (DFS) were 49% [95% confidence interval (C.I.) 37-61%] and 43% (95% C.I. 32-55%), respectively. Patients in first CR had a significantly better outcome than patients beyond first CR with an estimated 2-year DFS of 59% (95% C.I. 44-74%) vs. 21% (95% C.I. 5-36%, log-rank p = 0.0001), respectively. For patients conditioned with CY/TBI, the estimated 2-year DFS was 52% compared to 39% for BU/CY (log-rank p = 0.35). Estimated 2-year relapse rates were 44% vs. 56% (log-rank p = 0.40), respectively. For patients in first CR, no differences in DFS were observed between the two regimens (2-year estimates 69% vs. 55% log-rank p = 0.52). Patients beyond first CR had a significantly improved DFS with the CY/TBI regimen (2-year estimates of 38% vs. 7%, log-rank p = 0.04). No differences were found between the two regimens in terms of time to WBC engraftment, absolute neutrophil count of > 500, incidence of bacteremias, or median time to hospital discharge. Interstitial pneumonitis developed in two patients (one BU/CY, one CY/TBI) and venoocclusive disease developed in seven BU/CY patients (Fishers exact test p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS For patients beyond first CR, the CY/TBI regiment provided a better outcome, with a significantly better disease-free survival and less venoocclusive disease. For patients in first CR, no significant difference between the two regimens was found. The high relapse rate, especially for patients with advanced disease, emphasizes the need for early transplantation and for new strategies to improve outcome.

Abstract
This synthesis of the literature on radiotherapy related to bone marrow transplantation is based on 59 scientific articles, including 5 randomized studies and 20 retrospective studies. These studies involve 2563 patients. Bone marrow transplantation is a rapidly expanding treatment method where whole-body irradiation can play an important role. The literature review reveals that treatment methods for whole-body irradiation are highly heterogeneous. Standardization would be desirable. Fractionated and single-dose, whole-body irradiation are probably of equal value when the dose and technique are optimal. Cataracts seem to be more common following a single dose. Fractionated treatment is more resource intensive, but less burdensome for patients. For advanced-stage leukemia and some other diseases, eg, myeloma, international experience has shown that a combined treatment strategy (high-dose cyclophosphamide and whole-body irradiation) is probably superior to chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and busulfan) alone. For many other hematological malignancies at less advanced stages, conditioning methods are probably of equal value.

Abstract
PURPOSE This prospective trial of autologous bone marrow transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia was undertaken to compare the outcome using two different preparative regimens. METHODS AND MATERIALS Between October 1987 and April 1993, 35 patients with acute myeloid leukemia in first (n = 12) or greater (n = 23) remission were stratified by remission status and randomized to undergo 4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide purged autologous bone marrow transplantation after either cyclophosphamide (120 mg/kg) and total body irradiation (1320 Gy in eight fractions over 4 days) (CY/TBI), or busulfan (16 mg/kg) and cyclophosphamide (200 mg/kg) (BU/CY) conditioning. RESULTS At 2 years, overall survival and disease-free survival were 39% (95% confidence intervals (CI) 22-57%) and 36% (95% CI 19-52%), respectively. Patients in first complete remission had a significantly better outcome with a 2-year disease free survival of 57% (95% CI 28-86%) compared to others at 24% (95% CI 6-43%, log rank p = 0.048). For patients conditioned with CY/TBI, the estimated 2-year disease-free survival was 50% compared to 24% for patients conditioned with BU/CY (log rank p = 0.12). Estimated 2-year relapse rates were 43% vs. 70% (log rank p = 0.17), respectively. For patients in first complete remission no differences in disease-free survival (2-year estimates 67% vs. 50%, log rank p = 0.69), between the two regimens were observed. For patients in greater than first complete remission there was a trend towards improved disease-free survival in the CY/TBI arm (2-year estimates 42% vs. 9%, log rank p = 0.06). There were no differences in time to white blood cell count (WBC) engraftment, absolute neutrophil count of > 500, incidence of bacteremias, or median time to hospital discharge between the two regimens. Acute toxicities were similar. Interstitial pneumonitis developed in two patients (one on each arm), while veno occlusive disease developed in three BU/CY patients, but none of the CY/TBI patients (log rank p = 0.07). CONCLUSIONS Cyclophosphamide-total body irradiation provided an equivalent or better outcome to BU/CY, particularly in advanced patients, and should remain the standard by which new regimens are judged. The high relapse rate with both regimens, especially patients who were in greater than in first complete remission, emphasizes the need for early transplant and for new strategies to improve outcome.

Abstract
Immune mechanisms superimposed to the myeloablative conditioning regimens exert an additional powerful effect in eradicating leukemia and in achieving immunological control of minimal residual disease. The impact of GVHD-independent GVL has been evaluated to be absent, or near absent, in ALL, about 30% in AML and about 40% in CML. While until little time ago most of the evidence in favor of an immune antileukemia mechanism exerted by allo BMT in CML was indirect, based on the lack of GVL, there is now solid evidence of a positive type, based on the antileukemia effect of donor lymphocyte infusions in patients having relapsed after transplant. There are three lines of indirect clinical evidence for GVL in CML: they include the classical linkage between GVHD and reduced relapse rate, increased relapse rate after identical twin allografts, and increased relapse risk after effective GVHD prophylaxis, with T lymphocyte depletion in the foreground. The eradicating effects of donor lymphocyte infusions in relapsed patients are the ultimate demonstration that allogeneic immune competent cells are capable of recognizing and destroying the Ph-positive clone. However the frequency of irreversible aplasia indicates that donor lymphocytes act in the same way on residual host hematopoiesis, so that a second graft, without repeat conditioning, should be programmed for such cases.
