Abstract:Objective To investigate the pattern and affecting factors of hematopoietic stem cell mobilization after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting（OPCAB）. Methods Fifty-five patients of coronary artery disease without acute myocardial infarction （AMI） who underwent selective OPCAB were chosen for this study. Four ml blood sample was taken at 30 min before operation, and 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 120 h after operation. The hematopoietic stem cell count was made by flow cytometer with CD34 and CD45 double antibody. The serum myoeardium enzyme and troponin T （cTnT） were measured at the same time. Results The hematopoietic stem cell count was 0. 13%±0. 12% of all nucleated cells in the peripheral blood circulation before operation. It increased significantly witha peak value at 24 halter OPCAB（0.34%±0.20%）. It turned back to pre-operativelevelat 120h after operation. Smoking, hyperlipemia and diabetes mellitus had no effect on hematopoietic stem cell mobilization. But hypertension could reduce its mobilization significantly. The hematopoietic stem cell count was positively correlated with creatine kinase （CK）, creatine kinase-MB isoenzyme （CK-MB）, lactate de hydrogenase （LDH） and cTnT （r=0. 692,P=0. 000; r=0. 558, P=0. 000; r=0. 447, P=0. 000 and r=0. 401, P=0. 004, respectively） 24h after OPCAB. Conclusion Hematopoietic stem cells mobilize rapidly and temporarily after OPCAB. Myocardial injury and CABG risk factors take part in hematopoietic stem cell mobilization.
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).
ObjectiveTo review the osteoclasts (OC) function beyond bone resorption. MethodsThe related literature on OC function beyond bone resorption was reviewed, analyzed, and summarized. ResultsOC control the bone formation through releasing of matrix-derived growth factors, bidirectional cell-to-cell signals, and secreting OC-coupling factors, and play an important role in the niche formation, hematopoietic stem cells mobilization, and maintenance of its quantity and function;besides, OCs also regulate angiogenesis. ConclusionThese discoveries greatly enrich the current knowledge of OC function and open up an all-new research domain. However, the exact regulatory mechanism of OC affecting the hematopoiesis is still lack in-depth understood. Additionally, it remains to be elucidated how OC-coupling factors act on osteoblast lineage differentiation and how OC-induced angiogenesis participates in physiological and pathological processes. Unclosing the underlying mechanisms will facilitate providing scientific therapeutic strategies for treatment of many OC-related diseases.
Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of high-dose chemotherapy assisted with autologous peripheral blood stem cell treatment (APBSCT+HDC) for small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Methods The databases such as MEDLINE (1970 to January 2011), EMBASE (1980 to January 2011), Science Direct (1980 to January 2011), The Cochrane Library (Issue 3, 2010), CNKI (from the date of establishment to December 2010), CBM (from the date of establishment to December 2010) and Wanfang database (from the date of establishment to December 2010) were searched for collecting randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on APBSCT+HDC for SCLC. According to the inclusive and exclusive criteria, the trials were screened, the data were extracted, the methodological quality was assessed, and then Meta-analysis was conducted by using RevMan 5.0 software. Results A total of 6 RCTs involving 737 patients with SCLC were included. The results of Meta-analyses were as follows: the APBSCT+HDC for SCLC was significantly superior to the conventional chemotherapy in the total effective rate (RR=1.14, 95%CI 1.07 to 1.21, Plt;0.000 1) and the overall survival rate (RR=3.74, 95%CI 2.13 to 6.58, Plt;0.000 01), and it was superior in reducing the incidence of III/IV grade red blood cell reduction (RR=1.97, 95%CI 1.15 to 3.38, P=0.01) and thrombopenia (RR=1.93, 95%CI 1.06 to 3.54, P=0.03) with significant differences; but there was no significant difference between the two groups in reducing the incidence of III/IV leukopenia. Conclusions Compared with the conventional chemotherapy, APBSCT+HDC treatment for SCLC can improve the overall effective rate and overall survival rate, but it can also increase the risks of severe hematologic toxic reaction. Because of the small scale and low quality of the included studies, this conclusion still needs to be confirmed by high-quality, large-scale and multi-centered RCTs.

Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical records of 14 allo-HSCT recipients complicated with CLS from June 2005 to February 2011. Results Fourteen out of 152 patients developed CLS with a cumulative incidence of 9.2 %. None of the 8 clinical parameters including age, gender, underlying disease, donor type, conditioning regimen, CD34+ cell dose, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) dosage, and days to neutrophil engraftment could be identified as risk factors for the occurrence of CLS. Conclusions Risk factors for CLS after allo-HSCT have not been fully established. Restriction of water intake, administration of corticosteroids and hydroxyethyl starch can be beneficial for patients with CLS.
目的 调查造血干细胞移植出院患者的社会支持现状，寻求相应的护理对策，帮助患者保持较高的社会支持水平。 方法 选择2007年9月-2009年3月在层流病房进行造血干细胞移植的患者48例，采用肖水源的社会支持评定量表，进行住院期间和出院3个月后的问卷调查，并进行统计学分析。 结果 患者住院期间社会支持总分为(41.40±5.60)分，出院3个月后社会支持总分为(38.19±3.65)分，比较具有统计学意义(Plt;0.05)。 结论 造血干细胞移植患者出院后社会支持水平降低，护士应加强对造血干细胞移植患者出院后的指导，拓宽造血干细胞移植出院患者社会支持渠道，帮助患者保持较高的社会支持水平，从而促进患者的康复。
【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.
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are tissue specific stem cells that replenish all mature blood lineages during the lifetime of an individual. Hematopoietic cell clusters in the aorta of vertebrate embryos play a pivotal role in the formation of the adult blood system. Recently, people have learned a lot about the embryonic HSCs on their development and homing. During their differentiation, HSCs are regulated by the transcription factors, such as Runx1 and Notch signaling pathway, etc. MicroRNAs also regulate the self-renewal and differentiation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells on the post-transcriptional levels. Since the onset of circulation, the formation of HSCs and their differentiation into blood cells, especially red blood cells, are regulated by the hemodynamic forces. It would be of great significance if we could treat hematologic diseases with induced HSCs in vitro on the basis of fully understanding of hemotopoietic stem cell development. This review is focused on the advances in the research of HSCs' development and regulation.
