    Abstract: e19511 Background: Our purpose was to analyze levels and types of paraprotein in polychemotherapy combined with selective plasma exchange in patients with multiple myeloma. Methods: Blood levels of paraprotein (PP) were studied by capillary electrophoresis (Helena Bioscience V8), and content of plasma cells was determined in the bone marrow of 16 patients (main group) with multiple myeloma (MM) during polychemotherapy (PCT) plus selective plasma exchange (SPE). 14 patients receiving standard PCT were the controls. Results: MM patients in both groups were characterized with the presence of PP in the blood serum with the M-peak in the gamma-globulin zone. Only heavy IgG chains were found, bound to lambda (λ) light chains in 48% and to cappa (κ) light chains in 57.15%. The initial PP level in MM-IgGλ was 91.01±0.79 g/L and was 2.4 times higher than in MM-IgGκ (38.3±0.34 g/L). Significant differences in were found in PP reduction rate and intensity depending on the treatment. PP in the main group reduced by 42.4% after course1, by 41.4% after course 2, by 52.2% after course 3 and by 24% after course 4; in the control group – by 17.2%, 19.3%, 27.9% and 47.3%, respectively. PP levels decreased by 87.4% and 74.6% by the end of the treatment, respectively. The data were confirmed by a decrease in plasma cell content in the bone marrow of patients: up to 1.2% in the main group and 6.2% in the controls. Response to treatment in the main group was registered at the early stages of therapy, and at the late stages in the control group. Treatment effect was associated with the type of secreted PP. In MM-IgGκ, PP levels in the main group decreased by 59.7% after course 1, by 40.6% more after course 2 and by 51.9% after course 3; in MM-IgGλ – by 25.1%, 42.1% and 52.5%, respectively. Treatment effect was noted earlier and PP reduction was more intensive in MM-IgGκ than in MM-IgGλ. PP levels decreased by the end of the treatment by 85.4% in MM-IgGκ and by 73% in MM-IgGλ. Similar changes were observed in the control group. Conclusions: Increased rates and intensiveness of paraprotein reduction reflect effectiveness of polychemotherapy plus selective plasma exchange for multiple myeloma. Patients with MM-IgGκ are more sensitive to the therapy.

    Abstract: e19510 Background: The purpose of the study was to analyze changes in reticulocytic indices and their role in assessing the effectiveness of erythropoiesis in patients with multiple myeloma. Methods: Thestudy included 10 patients with primary multiple myeloma (MM) and 16 patients with recurrent MM, stage II-III. Parameters of the peripheral blood were studied: Hb, RBC, MCV, MCH, RBC-He (red cell hemoglobin content), RET (number and percentage), IRF (immature reticulocyte fraction), high (HFR), median (MFR) and low (LFR) fluorescence reticulocytes, RET-He (reticulocyte hemoglobin content), RPI (reticulocyte production index). Results: Anemia was found in21 (80.8%) patients before treatment: grade I in 30.8%, II in 46.1%, III in 3.8%; normocytic hypochromic anemia – 6, normocytic normochromic – 15. Anemia detection rate in primary MM was 60.0%, recurrent – 93.7%. RET levels in grade I-II anemia were close to the norm, but IRF was increased due to MFR increase by 3.7 times and HFR – by 4.7 times. Grade III anemia: RET number decreased by 1.6 times due to IRF reduction by 2 times, in particular MFR and HFR fractions. As a result, RET-He was decreased to varying degrees in all cases. Patients with complete or partial remission showed no significant changes in erythrocyte parameters, but had RET level increased by 2.5 times, IRF – by 9 times due to MFR increase by 6.5 times and HFR by 30.8 times, RPI - by 2.0 times. The data showed the effectiveness of erythropoiesis during anticancer therapy. We did not observe signs of increasing anemia syndrome in patients with stabilization or patients resistant to treatment, as well as in patients with initial grade III anemia. Hb, RBC, RET and RPI were unchanged, but the ratio of fractions changed: the number of mature ones - LFR increased by 1.4 times and young ones - HFR decreased by 2.5 times, RBC-He were increased and RET-He doubled compared to the levels before treatment, which indicated the activation of processes of erythrokaryocyte hemoglobinization. Conclusions: RET, IRF, RET-He and RPI indices adequately reflect the process of recovery of erythropoiesis and its effectiveness in real time which is extremely important in tumor therapy monitoring.
