Wang SS. Epidemiology and etiology of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Semin Hematol 2023; 60:255-266. [PMID: 38242772 PMCID: PMC10962251 DOI: 10.1053/j.seminhematol.2023.11.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/21/2024]
Abstract
As the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtype, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) incidence patterns generally parallel that for NHL overall. Globally, DLBCL accounts for a third of all NHLs, ranging between 20% and 50% by country. Based on United States (U.S.) cancer registry data, age-standardized incidence rate for DLBCL was 7.2 per 100,000. DLBCL incidence rises with age and is generally higher in males than females; in the U.S., incidence is highest among non-Hispanic whites (9.2/100,000). Like NHL incidence, DLBCL incidence rose in the first half of the 20th century but has largely plateaued. However, there is some evidence that incidence rates are rising in areas of historically low rates, such as Asia; there are also estimates for rising DLBCL incidence in the near future due to the changing demographics in developed countries whose aging population is growing. Established risk factors for DLBCL include those that result in severe immune deficiency such as HIV/AIDS, inherited immunodeficiency syndromes, and organ transplant recipients. Factors that lead to chronic immune dysregulations are also established risk factors, and include a number of autoimmune conditions (eg, Sjögren syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis), viral infections (eg, HIV, KSHV/HHV8, HCV, EBV), and obesity. Family history of NHL/DLBCL, personal history of cancer, and multiple genetic susceptibility loci are also well-established risk factors for DLBCL. There is strong evidence for multiple environmental exposures in DLBCL etiology, including exposure to trichloroethylene, benzene, and pesticides and herbicides, with recent associations noted with glyphosate. There is also strong evidence for associations with other viruses, such as HBV. Recent estimates suggest that obesity accounts for nearly a quarter of DLBCLs that develop, but despite recent gains in the understanding of DLBCL etiology, the majority of disease remain unexplained. An understanding of the host and environmental contributions to disease etiology, and concerted efforts to expand our understanding to multiple race/ethnic groups, will be essential for constructing clinically relevant risk prediction models and develop effective strategies for disease prevention.

Abstract
Male-specific late effects after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) include genital chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), hypogonadism, sexual dysfunction, infertility, and subsequent malignancies. They may be closely intertwined and cause prolonged morbidity and decreased quality of life after HCT. We provide a systematic review of male-specific late effects in a collaboration between transplant physicians, endocrinologists, urologists, dermatologists, and sexual health professionals through the Late Effects and Quality of Life Working Committee of the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research, and the Transplant Complications Working Party of the European Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation. The systematic review summarizes incidence, risk factors, screening, prevention and treatment of these complications and provides consensus evidence-based recommendations for clinical practice and future research.

Subsequent Cancers in Patients Affected with Moderate or Severe Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease. Transplant Cell Ther 2021; 27:937.e1-937.e7. [PMID: 34380090 PMCID: PMC8556294 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtct.2021.08.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2021] [Revised: 07/27/2021] [Accepted: 08/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Subsequent cancer (SC) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in long-term survivors after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) and treatment-related immunosuppression have been recognized as risk factors for SC. This study sought to investigate the incidence and risk factors for SC in patients with established cGVHD, assessed separately for onset of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)-categorized into nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC)-and all cancers other than NMSC. Two hundred and four patients were enrolled in the prospective cross-sectional cGVHD Natural History Study and underwent comprehensive clinical evaluation. Patients were followed-up with an annual survey. The cumulative incidences of NMSC and cancers other than NMSC with competing risks were estimated separately, and transplantation- and cGVHD-related factors were assessed for association with outcomes using Gray's test and multivariable Cox models. The time period for all analyses began at 2 years postevaluation to restrict analyses to patients presumed to not have had SC present at evaluation. Nineteen patients were diagnosed with NMSC and 19 were diagnosed with cancers other than NMSC, with 10-year cumulative incidences of 15.5% (95% confidence interval, 9.0% to 27.6%) and 13.8% (95% CI, 8.2% to 20.8%), respectively. Age at transplantation (hazard ratio [HR], 1.94; 95% CI, 1.23 to 3.06) and higher C-reactive protein level at evaluation (HR, 9.49; 95% CI, 1.26 to 71.58) were jointly associated with NMSC, and gastrointestinal cGVHD at evaluation (HR, 0.26; 95% CI, 0.09 to 0.78) was associated with reduced risk of NMSC. T cell depletion at transplantation (HR, 3.09; 95% CI, 1.17 to 8.20), lymphoma as an indication for transplantation (HR, 3.96; 95% CI, 1.56 to 10.05), and oral cGVHD severity at evaluation (HR, 4.36; 95% CI, 1.52 to 12.46) were jointly associated with cancers other than NMSC. This study estimates the incidence of SC in a population of allo-HSCT recipients with severe cGVHD and identifies correlations with the subsequent development of SC. These factors seem to differ between NMSC and cancers other than NMSC. Further longitudinal investigations accounting for dynamic and cumulative processes are needed to improve our understanding and management of SC.

Male-specific late effects in adult hematopoietic cell transplantation recipients: a systematic review from the Late Effects and Quality of Life Working Committee of the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research and Transplant Complications Working Party of the European Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation. Transplant Cell Ther 2021; 28:335.e1-335.e17. [PMID: 34757220 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtct.2021.10.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2021] [Revised: 10/19/2021] [Accepted: 10/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Male-specific late effects after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) include genital chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), hypogonadism, sexual dysfunction, infertility, and subsequent malignancies, such as prostate, penile, and testicular cancer. They may be closely intertwined and cause prolonged morbidity and decreased quality of life after HCT. OBJECTIVE Here, we provide a systematic review of male-specific late effects in a collaboration between transplant physicians, endocrinologists, urologists, dermatologists, and sexual health professionals through the Late Effects and Quality of Life Working Committee of the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research, and the Transplant Complications Working Party of the European Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation. STUDY DESIGN We utilized systematic review methodology to summarize incidence, risk factors, screening, prevention and treatment of these complications and provide consensus evidence-based recommendations for clinical practice and future research. RESULTS Most of the evidence regarding male GvHD is still based on limited data, precluding strong therapeutic recommendations. We therefore recommend to systematically screen for male genital GvHD regularly and report it to large registries to allow for a better understanding. Future research should also address treatment since little published evidence is available to date. Male-specific endocrine consequences of HCT include hypogonadism which may also affect bone health. Since the evidence is scarce, current recommendations for hormone substitution and/or bone health treatment are based on similar principles as for the general population. Following HCT, sexual health decreases and this topic should be addressed at regular intervals. Future studies should focus on interventional strategies to address sexual dysfunction. Infertility remains prevalent in patients having undergone myeloablative conditioning, which warrants offering sperm preservation in all HCT candidates. Most studies on fertility rely on descriptive registry analysis and surveys, hence the importance of reporting post-HCT conception data to large registries. Although the quality of evidence is low, the development of cancer in male genital organs does not seem more prevalent than in the general population; however, subsequent malignancies in general seem to be more prevalent in males than females, and special attention should be given to skin and oral mucosa. CONCLUSION Male-specific late effects, probably more under-reported than female-specific complications, should be systematically considered during the regular follow-up visits of male survivors who have undergone HCT. Care of patients with male-specific late effects warrants close collaboration between transplant physicians and specialists from other involved disciplines. Future research should be directed towards better data collection on male-specific late effects and on studies about the interrelationship between these late effects, to allow the development of evidence based effective management practices.

Evaluation of the Efficacy of Stem Cell Therapy in Ovariectomized Osteoporotic Rats Based on Micro-CT and Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Stem Cells Int 2021; 2021:1439563. [PMID: 34434235 PMCID: PMC8380498 DOI: 10.1155/2021/1439563] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2021] [Accepted: 07/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Osteoporosis is an abnormal bone metabolism disease characterized by microstructural degeneration of bone tissue and reduction in bone mass, resulting in increased brittleness of bone tissue and susceptibility to fracture. Due to the tissue regenerative potential of stem cell transplantation, it is now used in the treatment of various disease models such as osteoporosis. The purpose of this work is to carry out a systematic review and meta-analysis of the efficacy of stem cell therapy in ovariectomized (OVX) osteoporotic rats. Methods PubMed, Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect, Embase, CNKI, and Wanfang Databases were used to search for articles that met the inclusion criteria. Two researchers independently screened the articles that met the inclusion criteria. RevMan 5.3 and STATA 16.0 were used for data analysis. This meta-analysis was registered at INPLASY with reference number ID: INPLASY202150017. Results Thirteen eligible studies were selected, including 405 rats. The sources of stem cells are divided into four main categories: bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), amniotic membrane mesenchymal stem cells (AM-MSCs), and human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCB-MSCs). Compared with the OVX group, both stem cell transplantation groups had higher bone mineral density (BMD) (BMSCs: SMD = 2.01, 95% CI: [1.38, 2.63], P < 0.001, I2 = 76.6%; ADSCs: SMD = 2.24, 95% CI: [0.79, 3.69], P = 0.003, I2 = 86.7%) and bone volume/total volume (BV/TV) (hUCB-MSCs: SMD = 1.71, 95% CI: [0.97, 2.44], P < 0.001, I2 = 0%; ADSCs: SMD = 2.16, 95% CI: [0.27, 4.04], P = 0.025, I2 = 82.6%). In the BMSC treatment groups, the trabecular numbers (Tb.N) (SMD = 4.28, 95% CI: [0.91, 7.64], P = 0.013, I2 = 94.9%) were significantly higher, whereas the results for trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) (SMD = 2.7, 95% CI: [-0.34, 5.73], P = 0.081, I2 = 95.4%) and trabecular spacing (Tb.Sp) (SMD = −3.08, 95% CI: [-6.55, 0.38], P = 0.081, I2 = 96.3%) were not statistically significant compared to those of the OVX group. The stem cell transplantation group had a low BMD, BV/TV, and Tb.N compared to the sham operation group. Conclusion Stem cell therapy may increase bone strength, bone volume, and the number of trabeculae in OVX osteoporotic rats. The results of this meta-analysis showed the potential therapeutic effect of stem cell transplantation in OVX osteoporotic rats, bringing new therapeutic ideas and directions to the clinical treatment of osteoporosis. Due to the limited number and quality of studies related to some outcomes, more high-quality RCTs are still needed in the future to complement the existing findings.

Abstract
The present case study investigated a rare case of quadruple squamous cell carcinoma following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for leukemia. The main aim of the case study was to determine the pathogenesis and provide novel methods for the diagnosis and treatment of similar cases. The presence of genetic mutations in the p53, EGFR, KRAS and BRAF genes were analyzed and the presence of microsatellite instability (MSI) was determined. In addition, the expression levels of the proteins p53 and EGFR were investigated. The results identified a genetic mutation in p53, of which its expression levels were upregulated. In addition, the majority of the tumor tissues presented with MSI. Therefore, the present findings suggested that the genetic mutations in p53 caused by MSI following allogeneic HSCT may promote tumorigenesis. In addition, the expression levels of the EGFR protein were upregulated, leading to an increase in MAPK signaling pathway activation, which may also serve an important role.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is widely used in the treatment of malignant and non-malignant diseases. Due to advances in the number of survivors of this treatment, the number of survivors is increasing, but the late complications of this therapeutic approach such as secondary cancers have been long term and have not been fully controlled. METHODS The present meta-analysis study was performed by considering English-language articles in the databases including Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed. This meta-analysis included cohort studies that reported an incidence of cancer following stem cell transplantation (SCT). Random/fixed effect size meta-analyses were used to standardize the incidence ratio for different cancers. RESULTS 22 studies that evaluated patients receiving SCT (n = 270,063) were included in the study. The study found 9233 cases of cancer after transplantation. Meta-analysis showed that the risk of cancer after SCT was SIR = 1.66 (95% CI 1.47-1.86). The most common cancers observed in SCT recipients were bone tissue, head and neck cancers, and melanoma, with SIRs of 10.04 (3.48-16.61), 6.35 (4.76-7.93) and 3.52 (2.65-4.39), respectively. CONCLUSION The meta-analysis findings showed that the risk of secondary cancers after HSCT was significantly increased in most types of cancers. Consequently, diagnostic tests for common cancers should be included in the screening program of these patients for the prevention and early detection of high-risk cancers.

Abstract
Programmed death 1 ligand (PD-L1) is an immunomodulatory molecule expressed by cancer cells, and it has been widely demonstrated to inhibit host antitumor responses. The aim of the present study was to identify clinicopathological features associated with PD-L1 expression in the secondary solid cancers of patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In this database of 530 patients who received allo-HSCT between 1990 and 2017, 15 developed solid cancers with a median interval of 3487 days after transplantation. Three patients had 2 different solid cancers. Eighteen solid cancer cases were identified. A multivariate analysis showed that chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was associated with an increased risk of solid cancer. The presence of chronic GVHD was observed in 8 out of 18 cases at the diagnosis of secondary malignancies. PD-L1 expression levels in cancers were significantly higher in patients with active chronic GVHD than in those without chronic GVHD (P = 0.020). Five cases of cancer that developed in the involved organs of chronic GVHD showed 30% or higher PD-L1 positivity. The present results revealed distinct PD-L1 expression in the secondary solid cancers of post-transplant patients with chronic GVHD.

Abstract
The last several years have witnessed renewed interest regarding the contribution of cancer stem cells in tumorigenesis and neoplastic heterogeneity. It has been reported that patients who undergo bone marrow transplantation are more prone to develop a malignancy during their life time; usually hematological tumors, but solid neoplasms may also develop, which in certain instances are donor-derived. It has also been well documented that multipotent bone marrow derived cells can migrate to diverse organs, differentiating into various histological lineages. The present study reports an experimental syngeneic transplantation model, using fluorescently tagged bone marrow cells from p53 null male mice into female wild-type counterparts. We found that transplanted non-neoplastic mutant bone marrow cells can generate tumors of distinct histogenesis, including thymic lymphomas, sarcomas, and carcinomas after carcinogen induction, providing evidence that multipotent cancer-prone stem cells can reside in the bone marrow and are transplantable.

Abstract
PURPOSE Solid organ (SOT) and allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell (HSCT) transplant recipients have elevated risks of de novo or secondary cancer. We explored risk factors hereof. METHODS Among SOT and HSCT between January 2004 and December 2014, standardised incidence ratio (SIR) of de novo/secondary cancer compared with the Danish population was determined and risk factors were identified using Poisson regression. RESULTS During a median of 3.4 (IQR 1.3-6.4) and 2.6 (0.8-5.4) person-years (PY) after SOT and HSCT, a total of 212/1656 (13%) and 75/992 (8%) persons developed cancer; SIR 3.61 (3.0-4.3) and 2.2 (1.6-3.0), resp.). SIR correlated with younger age and was highest for skin and haematological cancers for both types of transplantation. Within the cohort, cancer was associated with older age (adjusted incidence rate ratio > 50 vs ≤ 19 years, among SOT and HSCT: 9.4 (3.4-25.7) and 25.4 (5.1-126.0), resp.) and current elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) (≥ 10 vs < 10 mg/L: 2.5 (1.8-3.4) and 2.3 (1.4-3.9), resp.), but neither with prior cancer nor type of immunosuppressants. CONCLUSION Rates of de novo or secondary cancers are elevated in both SOT and HSCT compared with the general population and mainly for skin and haematological cancers. Among transplant recipients, older age and current elevated CRP are risk factors.

Abstract
The Montreal Protocol has limited increases in the UV-B (280-315 nm) radiation reaching the Earth's surface as a result of depletion of stratospheric ozone. Nevertheless, the incidence of skin cancers continues to increase in most light-skinned populations, probably due mainly to risky sun exposure behaviour. In locations with strong sun protection programs of long duration, incidence is now reducing in younger age groups. Changes in the epidemiology of UV-induced eye diseases are less clear, due to a lack of data. Exposure to UV radiation plays a role in the development of cataracts, pterygium and possibly age-related macular degeneration; these are major causes of visual impairment world-wide. Photodermatoses and phototoxic reactions to drugs are not uncommon; management of the latter includes recognition of the risks by the prescribing physician. Exposure to UV radiation has benefits for health through the production of vitamin D in the skin and modulation of immune function. The latter has benefits for skin diseases such as psoriasis and possibly for systemic autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. The health risks of sun exposure can be mitigated through appropriate sun protection, such as clothing with both good UV-blocking characteristics and adequate skin coverage, sunglasses, shade, and sunscreen. New sunscreen preparations provide protection against a broader spectrum of solar radiation, but it is not clear that this has benefits for health. Gaps in knowledge make it difficult to derive evidence-based sun protection advice that balances the risks and benefits of sun exposure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) can cure leukaemia. However, long term complications of post transplantation interfere with the patients' full recovery. The objective of this review was to identify the various long term complications and to assess their individual prevalences. METHODS Electronic databases including PubMed, Google Scholar and Cochrane were searched for years 2004-2017. The keywords used were leukaemia, allogenic stem cell transplantation, prevalence, side effects, long term, delayed, adverse effects, complications and outcome. RESULTS A total of ten articles were included for analysis. There were 5 prospective studies, 3 retrospective studies and 2 cross sectional studies. A total of 40,069 patients, (20,189 males and 17,191 females) participated in these 10 studies. The gender of 2689 patients were not disclosed. Most common late complications and prevalence were chronic graft versus host disease (43% at 5 years post HSCT), secondary tumor (21% at 20 years post HSCT), hypothyroidism (11% at 15 years), bronchiolitis obliterans (9.7% at 122 days), cardiovascular disease (7.5% at 15 years) and avascular necrosis (5.4% at 10 years). The prevalence of azoospermia was 71.1% and depression, 18%. For the latter two conditions no time limit was available. Follow up duration ranged from 2 years till 30 years post HSCT. CONCLUSION While allogenic stem cell transplantation is an effective cure for leukaemia, the procedure is associated with complications that can have their onset many years after the procedure.

Abstract
Importance Allogeneic blood or marrow transplantation (BMT) is a curative option for malignant and nonmalignant diseases of childhood. However, little is known about trends in cause-specific late mortality in this population during the past 3 decades. Objectives To examine cause-specific late mortality among individuals who have lived 2 years or more after allogeneic BMT performed in childhood and whether rates of late mortality have changed over time. Design, Setting, and Participants A retrospective cohort study was conducted of individuals who lived 2 years or more after undergoing allogeneic BMT performed in childhood between January 1, 1974, and December 31, 2010. The end of follow-up was December 31, 2016. Exposure Allogeneic BMT performed in childhood. Main Outcomes and Measures All-cause mortality, relapse-related mortality, and non-relapse-related mortality. Data on vital status and causes of death were collected using medical records, the National Death Index Plus Program, and Accurint databases. Results Among 1388 individuals (559 females and 829 males) who lived 2 years or more after allogeneic BMT performed in childhood, the median age at transplantation was 14.6 years (range, 0-21 years). In this cohort, there was a total of 295 deaths, yielding an overall survival rate of 79.3% at 20 years after BMT. The leading causes of death were infection and/or chronic graft-vs-host disease (121 of 244 [49.6%]), primary disease (60 of 244 [24.6%]), and subsequent malignant neoplasms (45 of 244 [18.4%]). Overall, the cohort had a 14.4-fold increased risk for death (95% CI, 12.8-16.1) compared with the general population (292 deaths observed; 20.3 deaths expected). Relative mortality remained elevated at 25 years or more after BMT (standardized mortality ratio, 2.9; 95% CI, 2.0-4.1). The absolute excess risk for death from any cause was 12.0 per 1000 person-years (95% CI, 10.5-13.5). The cumulative incidence of non-relapse-related mortality exceeded that of relapse-related mortality throughout follow-up. The 10-year cumulative incidence of late mortality decreased over time (before 1990, 18.9%; 1990-1999, 12.8%; 2000-2010, 10.9%; P = .002); this decrease remained statistically significant after adjusting for demographic and clinical factors (referent group: <1990; 1990-1999: hazard ratio, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.47-0.89; P = .007; 2000-2010: hazard ratio, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.31-0.76; P = .002; P < .001 for trend). Conclusions and Relevance Late mortality among children undergoing allogeneic BMT has decreased during the past 3 decades. However, these patients remain at an elevated risk of late mortality even 25 years or more after transplantation when compared with the general population, necessitating lifelong follow-up.

Abstract
Blood or marrow transplantation (BMT) is used with curative intent for hematologic malignancies. Conditional on surviving the first 2 years after BMT, 5-year survival generally exceeds 70%. However, the cumulative therapeutic exposures lead to premature onset of chronic health conditions, such that the 15-year cumulative incidence of severe or life-threatening chronic health conditions exceeds 40%, resulting in premature mortality. The high burden of morbidity, coupled with a long latency between BMT and the development of chronic health conditions necessitates life-long risk-based monitoring of the BMT survivors. The issues of how and when to screen BMT survivors for therapy-related complications and exacerbation of preexisting conditions are important and largely unanswered questions. For BMT survivors, screening recommendations must incorporate risks associated with pre-BMT therapy as well as risks related to transplant conditioning and graft-versus-host disease. Here, we describe our approach to monitoring BMT survivors for risk-based screening and early detection of key late-occurring or long-term complications using patient scenarios to illustrate our discussion.

Abstract
Subsequent neoplasms (SN) after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) cause significant patient morbidity and mortality. Risks for specific SN types vary substantially, with particularly elevated risks for post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorders, myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia, and squamous cell malignancies. This document provides an overview of the current state of knowledge regarding SN after HCT and recommends priorities and approaches to overcome challenges and gaps in understanding. Numerous factors have been suggested to affect risk, including patient-related (eg, age), primary disease-related (eg, disease type, pre-HCT therapies), and HCT-related characteristics (eg, type and intensity of conditioning regimen, stem cell source, development of graft-versus-host disease). However, gaps in understanding remain for each of these risk factors, particularly for patients receiving HCT in the current era because of substantial advances in clinical transplantation practices. Additionally, the influence of nontransplantation-related risk factors (eg, germline genetic susceptibility, oncogenic viruses, lifestyle factors) is poorly understood. Clarification of the magnitude of SN risks and identification of etiologic factors will require large-scale, long-term, systematic follow-up of HCT survivors with detailed clinical data. Most investigations of the mechanisms of SN pathogenesis after HCT have focused on immune drivers. Expansion of our understanding in this area will require interdisciplinary laboratory collaborations utilizing measures of immune function and availability of archival tissue from SN diagnoses. Consensus-based recommendations for optimal preventive, screening, and therapeutic approaches have been developed for certain SN after HCT, whereas for other SN, general population guidelines are recommended. Further evidence is needed to specifically tailor preventive, screening, and therapeutic guidelines for SN after HCT, particularly for unique patient populations. Accomplishment of this broad research agenda will require increased investment in systematic data collection with engagement from patients, clinicians, and interdisciplinary scientists to reduce the burden of SN in the rapidly growing population of HCT survivors.

Abstract
The Parties to the Montreal Protocol are informed by three Panels of experts. One of these is the Environmental Effects Assessment Panel (EEAP), which deals with two focal issues. The first focus is the effects of UV radiation on human health, animals, plants, biogeochemistry, air quality, and materials. The second focus is on interactions between UV radiation and global climate change and how these may affect humans and the environment. When considering the effects of climate change, it has become clear that processes resulting in changes in stratospheric ozone are more complex than previously believed. As a result of this, human health and environmental issues will be longer-lasting and more regionally variable. Like the other Panels, the EEAP produces a detailed report every four years; the most recent was published as a series of seven papers in 2015 (Photochem. Photobiol. Sci., 2015, 14, 1-184). In the years in between, the EEAP produces less detailed and shorter Progress Reports of the relevant scientific findings. The most recent of these was for 2015 (Photochem. Photobiol. Sci., 2016, 15, 141-147). The present Progress Report for 2016 assesses some of the highlights and new insights with regard to the interactive nature of the direct and indirect effects of UV radiation, atmospheric processes, and climate change. The more detailed Quadrennial Assessment will be made available in 2018.

Analysis of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with high-dose cyclophosphamide-induced immune tolerance for severe aplastic anemia. Int J Hematol 2016; 104:720-728. [PMID: 27709450 DOI: 10.1007/s12185-016-2106-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2016] [Revised: 09/27/2016] [Accepted: 09/27/2016] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
The study was aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of allo-HSCT with high-dose cyclophosphamide-induced immune tolerance for SAA. In the present study, 20 cases (12 male, 8 female; average age = 17.8 years) received reduced-intensity conditioning allo-HSCT from August 2012 to August 2014 in the Beijing Military Region General Hospital. All were HLA mismatched and received CSA; 11 received ATG-intensive immune therapy. Donors underwent mobilization with cell colony-stimulating factor. The modified preconditioning regimen included reduced-strength fludarabine combined with Busulfex and cytarabine, cyclophosphamide. Cyclophosphamide (50 mg/kg/d) induced immune tolerance 3 days after transplantation and was combined with immunosuppressive agents, including CSA, MTX, and FK506, for GVHD prophylaxis and the management of observed toxicity, GVHD and DFS. Hematopoietic reconstitution was achieved in 17 cases and engraftment after a second transplantation in an additional three cases. The average times to engraftment were 17.4 and 21.3 days, respectively, with neutrophils ≥0.5 × 109/L and platelets ≥20 × 109/L. Engraftment was confirmed by the evidence of 100 % donor hematopoiesis; T lymphocyte subset counts also increased significantly after transplantation. During follow-up monitoring to April 2015 (median duration = 17.7 months), three patients died of complications, while the other 17 showed disease-free survival (DFS rate = 85 %; longest DFS period = 32 months). Reduced-intensity allo-HSCT with high-dose cyclophosphamide-induced immune tolerance treatment is effective for SAA and can be the key technology extensively used in clinic, but its efficacy needs to be confirmed further with prospective randomized study with increased sample size.
