Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the effects of Compound Zhebei Granule (, CZBG) combined with chemotherapy on surface markers of leukemia stem cell (LSC) in the bone marrow of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). METHODS Seventy-eight patients with AML received bone marrow aspiration and the percentages of CD34(+) CD123(+) and CD33(+) CD123(+) cells were tested using flow cytometry method. A total of 24 refractory or relapsed AML patients were enrolled and treated with one cycle of standard chemotherapy combined with CZBG. Bone marrow samples were obtained before and after treatment, and the percentages of CD34(+) CD123(+) and CD33(+) CD123(+) cells were examined by flflow cytometry. RESULTS Compared with refractory or relapsed AML patients, patients achieved remission had a significant lower percentage of CD34(+) CD123(+) cells(P<0.01) and CD33(+) CD123(+) cells (P<0.01), indicating that controlling the LSC percentage may be important for patients with AML to achieve sustainable remission. Compared with those before treatment, the expression levels of CD34(+) CD123(+) were significantly decreased after CZBG combined with chemotherapy treatment (P<0.01). The percentages of CD34(+) CD123(+) cells and CD33(+) CD123(+) in patients achieving complete remission after CZBG combined with chemotherapy treatment were both significantly lower than those in patients with nonremission (P<0.01). CONCLUSION CZBG combining chemotherapy could reduce the percentages of CD34(+) CD123(+) and CD33(+) CD123(+) LSC, which might improve the clinical efficacy of refractory or relapsed AML.

Abstract
This study was aimed to investigate the expression of biomarkers (PTEN, mTOR, NF-kB, CD44, PI3K) related with bone marrow cells in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia. The immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of PTEN, mTOR, NF-kB, CD44, PI3K in 20 patients. The AML patients were divided into remission group and non-remission group after calculating the percentage of leukemia cells in bone marrow. The results showed that by optical microscopy, the positive expression rates of PTEN, mTOR, NF-kB, CD44 and PI3K in remission group were 33.3%, 33.3%, 77.8%, 22.2%, 0, respectively; meanwhile, in non-remission group, the positive expression rates of above-menthioned biomarkers were 63.6%, 18.2, 90.9, 63.6%, 0, respectively. The percentage and mean OD for PTEN and CD44 were statistically different between the two groups (P < 0.05), but for mTOR, NF-kB and PI3K were not statistically differenly (P > 0.05). It is concluded that the high expression of PTEN and CD44 can be regarded as an important index for diagnosis and prognosis in acute myelogenous leukemia.
