Abstract
BACKGROUND Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection causes significant morbidity and mortality in allogeneic stem cell transplant (allo-SCT) recipients. Although ribavirin and immunoglobulins are common components of therapy, the role of adjunct corticosteroids is not established. OBJECTIVES We sought to evaluate corticosteroid utilization in the setting of post-allo-SCT RSV infection in our center and assess post-transplant outcomes including pulmonary function decline. METHODS Patients with a history of RSV infection from 2008 to 2014 seen at our institution were identified. Treatment and outcome data were retrospectively collected. Forced expiratory volume at 1 s (FEV1) and carbon monoxide diffusion capacity (DLCO) were collected pre- and post-RSV infection. RESULTS During the observation period, RSV was isolated in 53 of 552 patients undergoing allo-SCT (10%) and 45 had evaluable therapy data. RSV-related mortality in this cohort was 4/45 (9%). Twenty-one (47%) were on corticosteroids prior to RSV diagnosis, of whom 11 (24%) had a dose increase post symptom onset. Eight (18%) patients were started on corticosteroids at the time of RSV infection. Corticosteroid therapy at symptom onset was associated with a higher rate of upper respiratory infection (URTI) to lower respiratory infection (LRTI) progression risk ratio (RR) 2.49 (1.21-5.13; P = 0.016), hospital admission RR 2.05 (1.24-3.37; P = 0.005), or intensive care unit admission RR 2.91 (1.89-5.01; P = 0.002). No significant difference was seen with FEV1 and DLCO decline (P = 0.3 and 0.24, respectively) or mortality (P = 0.26). CONCLUSION Adjunct corticosteroid use in the setting of RSV infection did not improve RSV-related outcomes including long-term pulmonary function. Our results do not support the routine use of corticosteroids; however, this finding does need to be verified in a larger cohort of patients.

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of lisofylline (LSF) on engraftment, regimen-related toxicities (RRT), and mortality in patients undergoing allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). We performed a multicenter, randomized placebo-controlled trial in 60 patients with hematologic malignancies receiving BMT from HLA-identical sibling donors. Patients were randomized to receive either placebo, 2 mg/kg LSF or 3 mg/kg LSF every 6 h, beginning before conditioning and continuing to day 21 or hospital discharge. Treatment groups were balanced with respect to conditioning regimen and disease stage. However, significantly more patients in the 2 mg/kg LSF group were at high risk for RRT due to performance status >/=1, age >/=40 years, and prior exposure to CMV. Nausea and vomiting were the only adverse events observed in a higher proportion of LSF-treated patients that led to study withdrawal in six of 42 patients (14%). The times to neutrophil recovery to >/=500/microl and platelet recovery (>20 000/microl) were not improved by LSF treatment. Nevertheless, no patient who received treatment with 3 mg/kg LSF developed a documented infection between day 0 and 35 or had a serious or fatal infection between day 0 and 100 (P = 0.003 vs placebo for both). The day-100 survival rate was also significantly improved in the 3 mg/kg LSF group (89%), compared with either the 2 mg/kg LSF (48%) or placebo (61%) groups (log-rank test, 3 mg/kg LSF vs placebo, P = 0. 026). We conclude that treatment with LSF 3 mg/kg reduced the incidence of infections and improved 100-day survival in patients receiving related-donor allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.

Abstract
We compared the prognostic value of conventional cytogenetic analysis and established factors such as beta2-microglobulin and plasma cell labeling index in 70 patients undergoing autologous blood cell transplantation for multiple myeloma. Patients underwent transplantation 5 to 88 months (median, 20 months) after the initial diagnosis of myeloma. Factors studied were age, sex, beta2-microglobulin, response to prior therapy, plasma cell labeling index, cytogenetic analysis, bone marrow plasma cell percentage, lactate dehydrogenase and C-reactive protein. Twenty-eight of 65 patients (43%) had abnormal marrow cytogenetics. Overall survival measured from transplantation was significantly better in patients with normal cytogenetics than in those with abnormal cytogenetics (median survival, 25 vs 12 months, P = 0.003). Progression-free survival was better, with median times of 12 vs7 months, respectively (P = 0.005); overall survival measured from the time myeloma was first diagnosed was also longer, with median survivals of 62 and 39 months, respectively (P = 0.001). Median plasma cell labeling index was 1.5% in patients with abnormal cytogenetics and 0. 2% in those with normal cytogenetics (P < 0.001). Abnormal bone marrow cytogenetics predict poor survival after blood cell transplantation for myeloma. There is a significant correlation between abnormal cytogenetics and high plasma cell labeling index, suggesting that certain cytogenetic abnormalities may offer a proliferative advantage to myeloma cells.
