This critical review was summarized more systematically about the JAK2V617F mutation of related research progress in myeloproliferative disorders (MPD) research fields and the identification of JAK2V617F mutation represents an important advance in our understanding of MPD was agreed. The authors focused on several sensitive problems of post the JAK2 mutation era, and expressed their opinions. The Guideline of the MPD diagnostic criteria recommended by WHO in 2008 was accepted. The authors recommend the MPD, rather than myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). The treatment for the MPD (not including the CML) is recommended. Before the effective targeting of JAK2V617F specific inhibitors for the treatment of the MPD, short-term of use hydroxyurea (HU) was suggested to suppress excessive proliferation of bone marrow of MPD and a long course of treatment application of inteferon-α(IFN-α), and low-dose of aspirin in a timely manner were recommended to prevent thrombosis and other complications.

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcome of autologous hemopoietic stem cell transplantation(AHSCT) for hematological malignancies. Methods Data of 30 patients with hematological malignant diseases who under went AHSCT in Xuanwu hospital from January 1996 to January 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 14 males and 16 females, the median age was 40(19~52) years. Twenty-five of them had acute non-lymphoblastic leukemias(ANLL)(CR1 24, CR2 1), 4 had acute lymophblastic leukemias(ALL)(CR1 4) and 1 had granulocytic sarcoma. Pretreatment regimens mainly included Mel 160 mg/m2+Ara-C 2.0 g/m2+CY 120 mg/kg or TBI 8~10 Gy+CY 120 mg/kg. Results All patients had rapid hemopoietic reconstitution. There was no AHSCT related death. The median follow up duration was 82(12~144) months. Twenty-one of 30 patients were still alive during the analysis. The probabilities of disease-free survival(DFS) at 5 years were significantly different in these two groups: (69±8)% for AHSCT groups and (34±10)% for synchronous intensive chemotherapy groups. Conclusion AHSCT can be safely performed as an important treatment constituent for hematological malignancies.
The existence of leukemia aberrant immunophenotypes (LAIP) has been suggested to be a valuable tool for the detection of minimal residual disease (MRD), as they could distinguish leukemic cells from normal hematopoietic progenitors. This study was purposed to analyze the characteristics of LAIP in acute leukemia and further explore the proportion of different types of LAIP in acute leukemia patients. Flow cytometry (FCM) with four color and CD45/SSC gating were used to detect the antigen expression in samples of bone marrow from 126 patients with acute leukemia. The results showed that definite LAIP could be detected in about 76% patients. The LAIP could be divided into four groups as cross-lineage antigen expression, asynchronous antigen expression, antigen overexpression and antigen lack expression. The percentages of these LAIPs were 39%, 46%, 21% and 29% respectively. About 11% out of analyzed cases showed the existence of only one aberrant phenotype while two or more of aberrant phenotypes could be detected in majority cases. It is concluded that the LAIP with four subgroups can be detected in the majority of patients with acute leukemia and immunophenotyping based on LAIP is applicable for the detection of MRD.

Objective To evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of methods of ProCOUNT and single-platform ISHAGE gating strategy for CD34 positive cells in peripheral blood and apheresis samples. Methods Flow cytometry was adopted to enumerate CD34 positive cells in peripheral blood and apheresis samples with ProCOUNT and single-platform ISHAGE gating strategy. And enumeration of CD34 positive cells in 23 peripheral blood and 50 apheresis samples were performed. The results of the two methods were compared using Spearman correlation and paired t-test. Results There was a strong correlation between the absolute counting and percentage of CD34 positive cells for the two methods(r all >0.9, P all<0.001). The absolute counting in peripheral blood and apheresis samples with ProCOUNT and single-platform ISHAGE gating strategy were (42.7±7.5)μL^(-1) and (52.1±7.2) (P<0.01) respectively, (3515.2±684.7)μL^(-1) and (3923.8±711.1) μL^(-1) (P<0.01) respectively. The percentage of CD34 positive cells in peripheral blood and apheresis samples were (0.26±0.07)% and (0.13±0.05)% (P<0.01) respectively, (0.79±0.18)% and (0.83±0.17)% (P=0.056) respectively. All of the results using ProCOUNT were lower than those using single-platform ISHAGE gating strategy. Conclusion There is a strong correlation between the absolute counting and percentage of CD34 positive cells for the ProCOUNT and single-platform ISHAGE gating strategy, but the result of the former is significantly lower than that of the latter.

OBJECTIVE:To compare the therapeutic effects of low-dose and high-dose interferon alpha-2b (IFN) treatment on chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML).METHODS:A real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR (RQ-PCR) method was established to detect the fusion gene bcr-abl expression, thereby studying the reduction of leukemic cells. Thirty newly diagnosed CML patients, 21 males and 9 females, aged 14 - 69, were treated with hydroxyurea to keep the white blood cell count less than 20 x 10(9)/L, and then randomized into 2 groups: high-dose IFN group receiving IFN alpha-2b 5MIU 6 times per week for 3 - 6 months and low-dose IFN group receiving IFN alpha-2b 3MIU every other day for 3 - 6 months. Bone marrow was collected every month to Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of bcr-abl mRNA. Mononuclear cells were isolated and RNA was extracted to detect the expression of fusion gene bcr-abl and a control gene GAPDH. The results were reported as the number of bcr-abl copies/GAPDH copy.RESULTS:The established real-time quantitative PCR method could detect the bcr-abl molecules as low as 50 copies. The intra-assay coefficient of variation (CV) was less than 5% and the inter-assay CV was 5.13%. The median bcr-abl fusion gene expression level of 30 CML patients before IFN therapy was 0.098 (range: 0.010 - 5.799). The bcr-abl expression level decreased by 19.37% and 24.86% in the low-dose and high-dose IFN groups respectively after 3 months' therapy. No significant difference was observed between the two groups (P = 0.398). Relatively more side effects were observed in the high-dose IFN group than in low-dose group.CONCLUSION:RQ-PCR is a reliable method to monitor CML therapy by analyzing fusion gene bcr-abl expression. There is a difference in bcr-abl fusion gene expression levels among the newly diagnosed patients, and low-dose IFN is as effective as high-dose IFN in reducing bcr-abl expression but with less side effects.

The aim was to study the roles that the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and cytokines play in cord blood CD34(+) cell expansion ex vivo and the influence of culture ex vivo on expression of the adhesive molecule of CD44. CD34(+) cells sorted from cord blood cells had been cultured in each well of 24 well culture plates containing culture medium supplemented with mesenchymal stem cells layer or/and cytokines for a week, and then all kinds of indexes of different groups were compared. The results showed that as for cord blood cell expansion, there was no significant difference between the groups with cytokines SDF-1alpha + SCF + TPO + FL and SCF + TPO + FL no matter if MSC layer existed or not. The groups with MSC layer and cytokines were superior to the corresponding groups without MSC layer. In addition, the expression of the adhesion molecule CD44 had no distinct change after culture. It is concluded that SDF-1alpha has no distinct influence on the effect of cytokines SCF + TPO + FL on cord blood cell expansion ex vivo. MSC enhance the effect of cytokines on cord blood cell expansion ex vivo. Such expansion ex vivo may not influence the expression of the adhesive molecule CD44 on cord blood cells.
