非血缘相关骨髓移植治疗重型地中海贫血的临床研究

目的为进一步拓展供髓源,探讨非血缘相关骨髓移植治疗重型地中海贫血(简称地贫)的可行性。方法9例地贫患儿进行了非血缘骨髓移植,其基因突变类型为地贫纯合子或双重杂合子,均确诊为重型β地贫。HLA高分辨配型全相合2例,1个亚型不合5例,2个亚型不合2例,6例红细胞血型不合。预处理为白消安16mg/kg,分4天口服;环磷酰胺200mg/kg,分4天静滴;抗人胸腺细胞免疫球蛋白30mg/kg,分3天静滴和氟达拉宾125mg/m2,分3天静滴。环孢素A和氨甲蝶呤预防移植物抗宿主病(graftversushostdisease,GVHD)。结果9例患儿均出现明显的过敏反应,1例有一过性低血压,皮肤急性GVHD7例,肝脏GVHD1例,肠道GVHD2例,慢性GVHD1例,高血压脑病1例,间质性肺炎2例。1例急性肺出血死亡。外周血中性粒细胞>0.5×109/L的时间为12～26天,WBC恢复正常的时间为23～110天,PLT于61～142天>50×109/L,Hb则于23～116天升至100g/L,最后一次输血时间为13～62天。PCR扩增短串联重复序列检测证实:8例患儿获得完全供体植入,1例未植入。随访6～24个月,7例原重型β地贫基因已消失,5例血型不合者已转成供者相同血型;7例患儿术后无需输血,Hb维持在110g/L以上。结论本组9例重型地贫的非血缘骨髓移植为国内首次尝试,初步证明非血缘骨髓移植根治重型地贫较安全可靠,为解决本病移植治疗的供髓源提供了新途径。

Treatment of thalassemia major with unrelated donor bone marrow transplantation

OBJECTIVE: Allogeneic marrow transplantation is a curative therapy for thalassemia, but no more than 30% of patients have HLA-indentical sibling marrow donor. The selection of alternative donors of unrelative marrow and the study on the probability of treating thalassemia major with unrelated donor bone marrow transplantation are of importance. METHODS: Nine children with thalassemia were included in the study, and their gene mutational type were homozygote of thalassemia and double heterozygote, respectively. All of them were finally diagnosed of thalassemia major, and treated with unrelated donor bone marrow transplantation. To high-resolution HLA typing, two patients were matched, five had one unmatched isoform and two had two unmatched isoforms. The erythrocyte blood type was not matched in six patients. The preparative regimen included busulfan (oral use, 16 mg/kg, divided for 4 days), cyclophosphamide (intravenous use, 200 mg/kg, divided for 4 days), antithymocyte immunoglobulin (intravenous use, 30 mg/kg, divided for 3 days), and fludarabine (intravenous use, 125 mg/m(2), divided for 3 days). Ciclosporin A and methotrexate were used for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. RESULTS: All patients had allergen reactions. One had hypotension. Five patients experienced I degrees approximately III degrees acute GVHD in the skin, while one had II degrees acute GVHD in liver. One patient had III degrees GVHD of intestines and gradually developed chronic GVHD in the skin, lungs and brain. One patient died of pulmonary hemorrhage. The duration when peripheral blood neutrophil count exceeded 0.5 x 10(9)/L was 12 - 26 days. The recovery time of WBC was as long as 23 - 110 days. Thrombocytes exceeded 50 x 10(9) within 61 approximately 142 days. The time when hemoglobin reached 100 g/L varied from 23 to 116 days. The last blood transfusion was on 13 - 62 days. Eight patients were fully grafted, while one was not grafted. During the 6 - 24 months of follow-up, seven patients' genotype of thalassemia major became normal. The erythrocyte blood type of five patients also changed into the same as that of donor. The hemoglobin was kept over 110 g/L without blood transfusion. CONCLUSION: The transplantation of unrelated donor bone marrow for thalassemia major was successful. Unrelated donor bone marrow transplantation could cure thalassemia major, which expanded the marrow donor source for the transplantation of thalassemia major.
