    Abstract: Abstract 4107 Objectives To determine the pulmonary pathological changes in patients of hematological malignancies with pulmonary complications using surgical or thoracoscopic technologie. Methods 17 hematological malignant patients who underwent surgical treatment were evaluated retrospectively in our study. Pulmonary infection was presented in 14 cases following chemotherapy, and lesions can not be completely absorbed after a broad-spectrum anti-bacterial and anti-fungal treatment. Furthermore, computerized tomographic scanning showed that there remained several kinds of localized lesions. Subsequently, all the 17 patients underwent open lung or thoracoscopic biopsies (lobar, partial, or wedge resection). The pathological changes of all the surgical specimens were examined postoperatively by standard hematoxylin and eosin staining. Results Pathological examination confirmed: Aspergillus infection in 9 patients, sub-acute inflammation (fibrosis and hematoma formation) in 3 patients, pulmonary infarction with granulomatous tissue in the periphery in 1 patient, granulomatous inflammation with calcified tubercle in 1 patient, alveolar dilation and hemorrhage, interstitial fibrosis and focal vasculitis in 1 patient, intercostal neurilemmoma in 1 patient, and moderate-differentiated adenocarcinoma accompanied by intrapulmonary metastasis in 1 patient. And several operative complications (1 case of fungal implantation, 3 cases of pleural effusion and adhesions and 2 cases of pulmonary hematoma) were occurred. The coincidence rate of pre- and post-operative diagnosis was 9/14 (64.3%). After surgery, 8 patients were received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT, allo-gene or autologous), in which 7 cases were succeeded. Following the effective secondary antifungal prophylaxis,4 of 5 patients of aspergillosis were succeeded in transplantation free from mycotic relapse,just one patient was dead from fungal relapse. Conclusion Hematological malignancies with certain pulmonary complications, that is, persistent and/or medical-management-resistant pulmonary infection, hemoptysis, or lung diseases of diagnosis unknown, should be treated in time by surgical resection to effectively eliminate the residual disease and to achieve definitive diagnosis, so as to create a prerequisite condition for the following treatments. Moreover, the secondary antifungal prophylaxis could provide positive roles in protecting patients scheduled for chemotherapy and/or HSCT.

    Abstract: Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) for acute leukemia(AL). Methods The outcome of 56 AL patients who received autologous HSCT(AHSCT) for AL in first complete remission (CR) from May 2001 to May 2008 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 31 males and 25 females, the median age was 25(11~ 57)years. The diagnosis of these patients were acute myeloid leukemia (AML, n=38), acute lymphocytic leukemia(ALL, n=17) and acute hybrid leukemia (AHL, n=1). Patients were divided into low/moderate risk group (n=46) and high risk group (n=10) according to their characteristics of newly diagnosis. If the patient achieved first complete remission(CR), one to three courses of intensification chemotherapy containing high dose cytarabine(HDAC)were given. All the patients were in CR1 before AHSCT. Stem cells were mobilized with MAG regimen which composed of HDAC, Mitoxantrone and G-CSF. The conditioning regimen consisted of modified BU/ CY for AML patients or total body irradiation (TBI) plus cyclophosphamide (CTX) for ALL patients. Patients received consolidation chemotherapy every 3 months after AHSCT until 3 years post transplant. Nine patients received several course of cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells treatment. Result The median number of MNC and CD34 positive cell was 6.9(1.2 `21)×108/kg and 2.3(1.6 `6.3)×106/kg respectively. All patients achieved hemopoietc recovery. The median time of the engraftment of neutrophil and platelet was 9.7(8 `14) days and 12.9(9 `20) days posttransplant respectively. The incidence and severity of regimen-related toxicity were mild. The incidence of treatment related mortality (TRM)is 0%. The median follow-up of surviving patients was 31 months(range, 2 `86). Until now 46 patients are still alive, including 4 relapse cases. 13 cases were died of relapse. The five-year overall survival(OS) and the leukemia-free survival(LFS) were 77.3% and 71.9% respectively. The incidence of relapse was 23.2%. The OS and LFS in the low /moderate risk and high risk AL cohorts were 85.7%versus 40% and 79%versus 40% respectively(P & lt;0.01) Conclusion AHSCT is the first option for the AL patients who were in good or moderate risk group and had achieved first complete remission. Regular consolidation chemotherapy after transplantation was beneficial to improve the LFS of AL patients.

    Abstract: Abstract 4345 Object To screen the high risk factors of relapse after allo-HSCT in acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) respectively, then to compare the contribution to relapse of each risk factor and explore the mechanisms which the factors take part in. Furthermore, to discuss the subsequent surveillance and treatment strategy after transplantation. Method This is a retrospective study of single center experience. We conduct 262 evaluable cases of leukemia which accepted allo-HSCT between the November, 2001 and the December, 2008, with 69 cases in ALL, 90 cases in AML and 103 cases in CML. Cox proportional hazard regression model is applied in single and multiple analysis to screen the high risk factors. Donor lymphocyte infusions(DLI) were administrated in 18 patients who relapsed after transplantation, and we describe the characteristics of this approach. Results The risk factors which affect relapse significantly are: ALL: Cytogenetic risk classification, the cycles of initial induction chemotherapy; AML: Cytogenetic risk classification, minimal residual disease (MRD) level before transplant, reconstitution of WBC, CD4+/CD8+ lymphocyte ratio in the graft; CML: disease stage before transplant. 9 of the 18 patients who had a lower tumor load benefited from the DLI. Conclusion Cytogenetic risk classification is the most relevant predictor of relapse after transplantation. DLI hold great promise to overcome the barrier of relapse, especially for patients with lower disease burden. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

    Abstract: Abstract 4536 Objective To evaluate the safety profile and efficacy of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell infusion in patients with steroid-resistant, severe, acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). Methods A total of 19 patients with steroid-resistant severe aGVHD received mesenchymal stem cell infusion treatment. We analyzed the treatment response, transplantation-related mortality, events associated with infusion and relapse rate. Results Two patients with grade II, 5 patients with grade III and 12 patients with grade ‡W aGVHD received a total of 58 infusions of mesenchymal stem cell. The mean total dose of mesenchymal stem cell was 2.13×106 (range 0.6–7.2×106) cells per kg bodyweight. 7 patients received one infusion, 2 patients received two infusions, and 10 patients received three or more infusions. 11 patients had a complete response and 4 had a partial response and 4 had no response. No patients had side-effects during or immediately after infusions of mesenchymal stem cell and no ectopic tissue was detected to date. 11 patients survived and 8 died, 4 for aGVHD, 1 for infection and 2 for aGVHD with concomitant infection and 1 for underlying leukemia relapse. The cell viability of freshly prepared mesenchymal stem cell is 93% (92%-95%) by trypan blue staining. The cell viability of controlled-rate freezed and thawed cells mesenchymal stem cell is 72% (70%-74%). Conclusion Infusion of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell expanded in vitro is an effective therapy for patients with steroid-resistant, severe aGVHD without negative impact on relapse. Freshly prepared mesenchymal stem cells are superior to freezed and thawed cells in terms of cell viability. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

    Abstract: Abstract 1683 Biphenotypic acute leukemia (BAL) is a very rare type of acute leukemia, which presents a high heterogeneity and poor prognosis. We identified 51 cases (3.0%) BAL from 1693 newly diagnosed acute leukemia patients according to the EGIL scoring system between January 2003 and July 2009. The biological features, treatment and outcome of 39 evaluable BAL patients were analyzed retrospectively. There were 23 (59.0%) cases of myeloid and B-lymphoid (M/B) phenotype, 14 (35.9%) cases of myeloid and T-lymphoid (M/T) phenotype, one case (2.6%) of trilineage phenotype or B-lymphoid and T-lymphoid phenotype respectively. The high expressions of CD34 (84.6%) and HLA-DR (54.5%) on the blast cells of BAL support the notion that BAL probably arises from hemopoietic stem/progenitor cells. It seemed that CD7-positive patients had poorer median survivals comparing with those CD7-negative patients, however, there was no statistical difference (P=0.076). Abnormal karyotypes were detected in 75.7% of 37 BAL patients with valid analysis and displayed a high heterogeneity, which were associated with structural rearrangement and numerical abnormalities including t(8;21) (16.2%), t(9;22) (13.5%), structural rearrangement of 11 chromosome (16.2%), 11q23 (5.4%), complex karyotype (21.6%) and other abnormal karyotypes (10.8%). Combined regimens for both AML and ALL, ALL-type regimens appeared a better complete remission (CR) rate than AML-type regimens (71.4% vs. 63.6% vs. 33.3%). The median survival for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in our series was 14 and 12 months, the probability of OS and DFS at 2 years was 26.0% and 18.5%, respectively. No statistical differences were observed in CR rate, OS and DFS between M/B and M/T cases. It showed that BAL patients with complex karyotype or rearrangement of 11 chromosome had a significantly worse survival in contrast to normal karyotype, t(8;21) and t(9;22) group (P=0.001). Although BAL with t(8;21) seemed to be appeared a better survival than normal karyotype and t(9;22) group, there were no statistical significance (P=0.436). Our data indicate that combined-type regimens or ALL-based protocols are more effective and complex karyotype, rearrangement of 11 chromosome have the unfavorable prognosis for BAL.

    Abstract: Haploidentical donor hematopoietic cell transplantation (haplo-HCT) has become a preferred option for patients without HLA-matched donors, but it increases the risk of viral reactivations. Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) are common viruses post-HCT, but limited data have been reported in the setting of haplo-HCT. Methods We conducted a retrospective study enrolling acute leukemia patients who received haplo-HCT with myeloablative conditioning regimen employing ATG in our center from July 2014 to July 2017. All the patients enrolled were EBV-IgM and EBV-DNA negative but EBV-IgG positive, and so were their donors. The same went for CMV as well. Results In total, 602 patients were recruited consisting of 331 with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and 271 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). One-year cumulative incidences of EBV (22.9% ± 2.4% vs. 27.4% ± 2.8%, P = 0.169) and CMV (24.7% ± 2.4% vs. 29.4% ± 2.8%, P = 0.190) reactivation were comparable between AML and ALL. EBV and CMV were independent risk factors for each other. In the AML group, male recipients [HR = 1.275, 95% CI (1.001–1.624), P = 0.049] and acute graft-versus-host disease [HR = 1.592, 95% CI (1.001–2.533), P = 0.049] were independent risk factors for EBV reactivation and CMV reactivation, respectively. CMV rather than EBV reactivation was related to a trend of worsened treatment-related mortality (TRM) (15.6% ± 0.1% vs. 10.2% ± 0.0%, P = 0.067) and progression-free survival (PFS) (60.6% ± 4.1% vs. 70.3% ± 2.3%, P = 0.073), while significant impacts were revealed only in the subgroup analysis. CMV reactivation resulted in a remarkable inferior 2-year overall survival (OS) (64.2% ± 5.7% vs. 77.6% ± 3.2%, P = 0.038) and PFS (55.0% ± 5.9% vs. 71.9% ± 3.4%, P = 0.042) in ALL patients. On the other hand, in the EBV+/CMV− subgroup, relapse was lower in ALL patients (8.2% ± 0.2% vs. 32.4% ± 0.8%, P = 0.010) compared with AML patients, which led to a superior 2-year OS (82.0% ± 6.2% vs. 60.3% ± 8.8%, P = 0.016) and PFS (74.5% ± 7.0% vs. 57.5% ± 8.4%, P = 0.036). Conclusion We concluded that EBV and CMV reactivations were frequent in acute leukemia patients after haplo-HCT, with possibly distinctive risk factors from HLA-matched HCT. There could be a potential interaction between EBV and CMV, but impacts on transplant outcomes remained complex.
