异基因造血干细胞移植治疗噬血细胞综合征

噬血细胞综合征又称噬血细胞性淋巴组织细胞增生症,分为原发性和继发性两大类.对于家族性噬血细胞综合征(familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis,FHL)和难治性EB病毒相关噬血细胞综合征(EBV-HLH),异基因造血干细胞移植是目前唯一有效的治疗手段,但其鉴别诊断尤为困难,移植后多种并发症以及高病死率也受到越来越多人的关注.该文总结了近年来异基因造血干细胞移植治疗FHL和难治性EBV-HLH在诊断、预处理方案、移植后并发症、死亡原因分析及预后等方面的研究进展.     

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in children with sickle cell disease

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) represents the only curative treatment for sickle cell disease (SCD), being successful in around 85-90% of patients. Mortality and long-term morbidity (including infertility, gonadal failure, and chronic graft-vs.-host disease) associated with conventional approaches curtail the number of patients who undergo allo-HSCT. Recently, it has been demonstrated that cord blood is as effective as and possibly safer than bone marrow in pediatric patients with SCD. Likewise, transplant strategies based on the use of reduced-intensity regimens and the induction of mixed chimerism have been explored to decrease allo-HSCT short- and long-term complications.     

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation for Glanzmann thrombasthenia

Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is a rare autosomal recessive bleeding disorder characterized by normal platelet count, but lack of platelet aggregation. The molecular basis is linked to quantitative and/or qualitative abnormalities of the membrane glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complexes. Usually it is associated with mild bleeding but may lead to severe and potentially fatal hemorrhages. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only curative treatment. However, because of the risks associated with HSCT, it is generally not recommended unless there are life threatening hemorrhages, or the patient has developed refractoriness to platelet transfusion due to antibody formation. Herein, we report an 11‐year‐old female from United Arab Emirates (UAE) with severe GT and anti platelet alloimmunization successfully treated with HSCT from her HLA‐identical sibling.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for Chediak–Higashi syndrome

The clinical outcome of allogeneic HSCT was retrospectively analyzed in eight patients with CHS. In total, six of these eight patients are alive. Four of five patients transplanted with MAC achieved prompt engraftment, and three of the four patients, including two patients with AP before transplant, are alive without disease. In contrast, three patients transplanted with RIC without active AP disease achieved prompt engraftment and survive long term. RIC‐HSCT might be an alternative treatment for CHS similar to other types of HLH, at least for patients without active AP disease.     

异基因造血干细胞移植治疗粘多糖病I型1例报告

目的：粘多糖病I型是一种进行性多器官受累的遗传代谢性疾病,Hurler综合征是粘多糖病I型的最严重类型,常导致进行性的中枢神经系统受损和早期死亡。该研究进行了异基因造血干细胞移植治疗该病的初步尝试,探讨异基因干细胞移植治疗粘多糖病的疗效。方法：1例男性粘多糖病I型Hurler综合征患者,2岁1个月,供者为其胞姐,HLA配型一个HLA-B位点不合。预处理方案为减低预处理剂量的BuCy方案马利兰(BU)每日3.7mg/kg,-9~-6d;环磷酰胺(Cy)每日42.8mg/kg,-5~-2d;抗胸腺细胞球蛋白每日3.5mg/kg,-7,-5,-3,-1d。输入重组人粒细胞集落刺激因子动员的供者CD34+细胞(12.8×106/kg),以环孢素A、骁悉、赛呢哌、抗胸腺细胞球蛋白和氨甲喋呤预防移植物抗宿主病(GVHD)。结果：移植后14d,短串联重复序列结合聚合酶链反应(STR-PCR)检测显示为完全供者型嵌合,中性粒细胞和血小板植活时间分别为+11d和+19d。仅出现肝、胃肠Ⅰ级预处理相关毒性,无严重预处理相关并发症。未发生急、慢性移植物抗宿主病和移植物衰竭,移植后临床症状明显改善,认知能力持续增加。结论：异基因造血干细胞移植治疗粘多糖病I型疗效肯定,减低剂量的预处理方案有利于降低预处理相关毒性;移植前后加强免疫抑制治疗,适当增加供者造血干细胞输注数量,有利于促进植入,减少移植物衰竭以及GVHD的发生。     

造血干细胞移植治疗儿童白血病若干问题

该文涉及各类儿童造血干细胞移植(HSCT),如骨髓移植(BMT)、外周血造血干细胞移植(PBSCT)和脐血移植(UCBT)治疗白血病的优缺点及HSCT在儿童白血病治疗中的地位。绝大多数儿童白血病可通过正规联合化疗根治,仅少数(约20%)高危、难治及复发的白血病是异基因HSCT的适应证,无适合的同胞供体时,可选择HLA全相合非血缘相关BMT或PBSCT,UD-UCBT更适合于儿童患者。     

Unrelated stem cell transplant for infantile idiopathic myelofibrosis

Idiopathic myelofibrosis (IMF) is a rare disease in children that can present during infancy and have a protracted course. The only known curative approach for this disease in adult patients is allogeneic stem cell transplant. We present two cases of IMF during infancy that did not resolve with supportive care measures. Both patients underwent unrelated stem cell transplant with complete resolution of their hematologic manifestations and resolution of the bone marrow fibrosis.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell and liver transplantation in a young girl with dedicator of cytokinesis 8 protein deficiency

DOCK8 deficiency is a rare inherited combined immunodeficiency, caused by mutations in the DOCK8 gene. We describe a case with DOCK8 deficiency associated with severe CLD in whom orthotopic LT was performed successfully after allogeneic HSCT. A 5 year‐old girl with DOCK8 deficiency presented with mild direct hyperbilirubinemia and abnormal GGT level and without a previous history of jaundice. She had severe growth retardation, hepatosplenomegaly and generalized eczema. Progressive worsening of CLD was observed within 4 months. Investigations for etiology of liver disease were negative. Liver biopsy showed bridging necrosis, cholestasis and, cirrhosis. Recurrent immune hemolytic crisis and several viral infections developed in follow‐up. She underwent whole cadaveric LT for end‐stage liver disease (ESLD) 1 year after allogenic HSCT from a full matched related donor. The postoperative course was uneventful. The patient is alive with normal liver function and moderate skin graft versus host disease for 36 months after LT. In conclusion DOCK8 deficiency can be associated with severe CLD. Successful LT following HSCT is possible in patients with ESLD in DOCK8 deficiency. The timing of LT is challenging in patients requiring both HSCT and LT since conditioning regimens for HSCT can be highly hepatotoxic and the patients with suboptimal liver function can become decompensated during HSCT.     

儿童造血干细胞移植后巨细胞病毒感染的临床研究

目的了解儿童造血干细胞移植后巨细胞病毒的感染率和防治方法。方法对从2001年8月到2007年3月北京儿童医院血液病中心37例作造血干细胞移植的血液肿瘤及先天遗传性疾病患儿进行回顾性分析。结果31例可研究病例中,5例自体造血干细胞移植及5例同基因造血干细胞移植患儿无人类巨细胞病毒（HCMV）感染,21例异基因造血干细胞移植患儿,发生HCMV感染7例,感染率为33.3%,大剂量阿昔洛韦加丙种球蛋白预防及早期更昔洛韦加大剂量静脉丙种球蛋白治疗,仅1例发生巨细胞病毒相关性间质性肺炎（CMV-IP）,无1例发生巨细胞病毒感染相关死亡。结论巨细胞病毒感染是儿童造血干细胞移植术后的主要并发症,临床上进行定期监测、前瞻性预防、早期诊断和及时合理治疗,对降低移植术后巨细胞病毒感染和提高移植成功率至关重要。     

VPS 45‐associated primary infantile myelofibrosis – Successful treatment with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

PMF of infancy is a recently described autosomal recessive disorder presenting with severe bone marrow failure, accelerated neutrophil apoptosis, and significant platelet dysfunction, caused by a mutation in the VPS45 gene. In this study, we update our group of patients with PMF, highlighting different aspects of this disease, and evaluating the effectiveness of HSCT for the treatment of this disorder. Update of clinical data, hematological features, molecular studies, treatment and final outcome of four children diagnosed with VPS 45‐associated PMF of infancy. The patients described had clinical and hematological findings consistent with MF. Molecular studies showed that all patients were homozygous for the Thr224Asn mutation in the VPS 45 gene. HSCT was carried out in three patients and was successful in two. VPS 45‐associated MF is a novel primary immune deficiency that can be successfully corrected by HSCT if applied early in the course of disease using appropriate conditioning. The diagnosis of VPS 45‐associated PMF should be considered in all children presenting with SCN with subsequent development of pancytopenia. Long‐term follow‐up of these patients is necessary to identify extra‐hematological manifestations of VPS45 deficiency.

??Abstract??Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation ??HSCT?? is the only curative therapy for severe beta-thalassemia major. Patients with an available human leukocyte antigen ??HLA?? identical sibling donor should be offered HSCT as soon as possible before development of iron overload and transfusion associated complications?? and the cure rate was up to 80%??90%. High-resolution HLA typing matched unrelated donor transplants also achieved good results. HSCT from HLA-mismatched relatives or HLA-phenotypically-identical donor is an option to be performed in expert centers. Optimization of conditioning regimen and techniques to control transplant-related complications will further improve outcomes.     

异基因造血干细胞移植治疗儿童急性髓系白血病临床研究

目的评估应用异基因造血干细胞移植(allo-HSCT)治疗儿童急性髓系白血病(AML)的临床疗效及相关影响因素。方法回顾分析2002年1月至2017年11月49例确诊中、高危及复发AML行allo-HSCT患儿的临床资料,分析危险度分级、HLA分型、移植前状态、移植方式、干细胞来源及急慢性移植物抗宿主病(GVHD)等对allo-HSCT治疗效果的影响。结果 49例患儿中男35例、女14例,中位年龄9岁。三年总体存活率(OS)为(59.2±7.3)%,无白血病存活率(LFS)为(50.9±7.4)%。其中第1次缓解状态移植、非血缘移植、外周血干细胞移植、中危组移植的三年LFS分别为69.8%、69. 2%、73. 7%、65. 8%。19例死亡,分别为复发13例、严重感染5例、多器官衰竭1例。COX回归模型结果显示,急性GVHD是影响移植OS的独立危险因素(RR=3. 16,95%CI:1. 23～8. 09,P=0. 017),移植前状态为部分缓解及未缓解是影响移植LFS的独立危险因素(RR=4.76,95%CI:1.52～14.94,P=0.008;RR=5.28,95%CI:1.68～16.58,P=0.004)。结论移植前状态及急性GVHD是影响Allo-HSCT治疗儿童AML疗效的关键因素;白血病复发及感染是导致死亡的主要原因。     

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is associated with cure and durable remission of late‐onset primary isolated central nervous system hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis

Primary isolated CNS presentation of HLH is exceedingly rare and typically associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We describe an adolescent patient with late‐onset, primary isolated CNS HLH and a compound heterozygous PRF1 mutation (c50delT (p.L17 fs); c.1229G>C (p.R410P)), not previously reported with this phenotype. He was successfully treated with allogeneic HSCT following a reduced‐intensity conditioning regimen, despite a high pre‐HSCT comorbidity index. Two years after transplant, he is alive and in disease remission. While patients with systemic HLH and active CNS disease have relatively poorer outcomes, a high index of suspicion may aid with early diagnosis of primary isolated CNS HLH; prompt treatment with HSCT may be associated with improved cure and durable remission of this rare disease.     

Surveillance cultures in pediatric allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

The value of surveillance cultures in predicting systemic infections and in guiding antimicrobial treatment is controversial. We investigated 57 pediatric allo‐SCTs between 2007 and 2009. ALL (34), AML (5), and severe aplastic anemia (4) were the largest patient groups. Conditioning was TBI‐based in 87% and 54% developed GVHD (21% grade III‐IV). Of the 2594 weekly colonization samples, 24% were positive (fecal bacteria 86%, fecal fungi 16%, Clostridium difficile 16%; throat bacteria 17% and throat fungi 4%). Enterobacteria and enterococci were the most common fecal findings, staphylococci and streptococci in the throat. Of the bacterial stool samples pretransplant, 74% (mostly enterococci) were resistant to our first‐line antibiotics (ceftazidime and cloxacillin). Candida species accounted for the majority of the fungal findings: 62% of the fecal and 78% in the throat. A total of 170 clinical infection episodes were recorded, and in 12 of these, the bacterial blood culture was positive. In 4/12 cases, the pathogen was detected in surveillance culture previously, leading to sensitivity and specificity of 33.3 and 47.4%, respectively. Positive predictive value of bacterial surveillance cultures was 0.9%. The antimicrobial treatment was changed in only five cases based on the surveillance culture results. Weekly surveillance cultures seldom provided clinical benefit and were not cost‐effective.

Yoon HS, Im HJ, Moon HN, Lee JH, Kim H‐J, Yoo KH, Sung KW, Koo HH, Kang HJ, Shin HY, Ahn HS, Cho B, Kim HK, Lyu CJ, Lee MJ, Kook H, Hwang TJ, Seo JJ. The outcome of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in Korean children with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.
Pediatr Transplantation 2010: 14:735–740. © 2010 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Abstract: Chemoimmunotherapy‐based treatments have improved the survival of patients with HLH, but outcomes of the patients are still unsatisfactory. We report here the outcome of Korean children with HLH who underwent HSCT, which was analyzed from the data of a nation‐wide HLH registry. Retrospective nation‐wide data recruitment for the pediatric HLH patients diagnosed between 1996 and 2008 was carried out by the Histiocytosis Working Party of the Korean Society of Hematology. Nineteen patients who received HSCT among the total of 148 enrolled children with HLH were analyzed for the transplant‐related variables and events. The probability of five‐yr survival after HSCT was 73.3% with a median follow‐up of 57. Two months compared to 54.3% for the patients who were treated with chemoimmunotherapy only (p = 0.05). The reasons for HSCT were active disease after eight wk of initial treatment (n = 9), relapsed disease (n = 5), and FHL (n = 5). Fourteen patients are currently alive without disease after HSCT, four patients died of treatment‐related events (infection in two and graft failure in two) at early post‐transplant period, and one patient died of relapse at one yr post transplantation. The survival of patients who were transplanted because of active disease after eight wk of initial treatment was worse compared to those patients who had inactive state at that time (60.6% vs. 100%, respectively, p = 0.06). Of the four patients who received transplants using cord blood, three died of graft failure (n = 2) and relapse (n = 1). The five‐yr probability of survival after HSCT according to the donor type was 85.7% for the MRDs (n = 6), 87.5% for the MUDs (n = 8), and 40% for the MMUDs (n = 5) (p = 0.03). Other variables such as age, CNS involvement at the time of diagnosis, the etiology of HLH (familial or secondary), and the conditioning regimens had no influence on the five‐yr OS of the HLH patients who underwent HSCT. HSCT improved the survival of the patients who had familial, relapsed, or severe and persistent SHLH in the Korean nation‐wide HLH registry. Although numbers were small, these results are similar to other reports in the literature. The disease state after initial treatment, the stem cell source of the transplant, and the donor type were the important prognostic factors that affected the OS of the HLH patients who underwent HSCT.
