难治性淋巴瘤病人化疗期的护理

淋巴瘤是一组起源于淋巴结或其他淋巴组织的恶性肿瘤．通常淋巴瘤对化疗药物敏感,治疗效果较其他恶性肿瘤好：但有某些病例却对常规化疗抗拒或缓解后很快复发。被称为“难治性淋巴瘤”（refractory lymphoma）。临床上通常对其采用剂量强度大．化疗间期短的方案,如ProMACE／CytaBom．AVDM,HyperCVAD等,以提高缓解率,延长生存期。但这些方案对病人有不同程度的损害,如消化道反应,骨髓抑制。出血性膀胱炎等。故做好临床护理对难治性淋巴瘤病人的康复及生存具有重要意义。

Treatment strategies in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). B. Second line treatment

The strategy for treatment of relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia must primarily be based on the patient's age and clinical condition as well as on the stage of the disease. Accordingly, the general decision between an intensive approach including high-dose chemotherapy or possibly immediate allogeneic bone marrow transplantation versus less-aggressive palliative treatment will precede the selection of the most appropriate salvage regimen. In patients qualifying for intensive second-line chemotherapy the duration of the first remission and the number of relapses provide the means to discriminate between refractoriness or maintained responsiveness to conventional protocols. More than 50% of patients with first relapses after 6-12 months remission duration will respond to standard therapy again and should therefore not be entered on investigational agents with unproven antileukemic activity. The latter seems deeply warranted, on the other hand, for early relapses, second recurrences and resistant first relapses with a remission rate of less than 30% after conventional regimens. These guidelines not only provide an objective rationale for selecting the most appropriate strategy at relapse in individual patients. Furthermore, they facilitate interstudy comparisons and a better judgement of different treatment protocols.     

Results of randomized trials of immunotherapy for acute leukemia

Summary For more than a decade clinical trials have attempted to define the role of immunotherapy in the treatment of patients with acute leukemia. Based on animal studies which indicated that non-specific immune stimulation had an antitumor effect if the tumor burden was small, the use of immunotherapy during remission in patients with acute leukemia seemed appropriate following the initial report of the success of bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) in prolonging remission duration and survival in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Therefore a series of randomized clinical trials was initiated to confirm these original observations. In four studies comparing BCG inoculations, with or without allogeneic leukemia cells, and chemotherapy or no therapy, no advantage of immunotherapy was noted. Immunotherapy appeared to be equally as good as chemotherapy. A combination of BCG and chemotherapy showed some advantage in one study, but no advantage was noted in two other studies.In acute myeloblastic leukemia several randomized trials suggested that BCG or one of its derivatives when given alone, in combination with allogeneic cells, or with chemotherapy had a marginal effect in prolonging remission duration and survival when compared to chemotherapy or rno therapy.In conclusion, immunotherapy during remission has marginal activity in acute leukemia.     

The combination of DNA methyltransferase inhibitor therapy and immunotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the most common form of acute leukemia in adults, is characterized by abnormal proliferation and blocked maturation and differentiation of myeloid precursor cells. AML is an aggressive cancer that progresses rapidly without treatment. Therefore, effective treatment modalities should be implemented immediately after diagnosis. The mainstay of classical AML therapy has been chemotherapy, which is not suitable for relapsing or refractory patients, especially elderly patients. Among emerging novel therapeutic approaches for AML, epigenetic therapy and immunotherapy represent two exciting therapeutic developments. This review focuses on discussion of the therapeutic considerations for AML from the perspective of combination treatment, which incorporates both DNA methyltransferase inhibitor therapy, as one of the most promising epigenetic therapies, and immune checkpoint inhibitor or dendritic cell-based vaccination treatments, as examples of immunotherapy. Both challenges and rationale in the optimization of therapeutic approaches, as well as recent clinical trial developments, along this line are summarized.     

Use of carminomycin on adult patients with acute leukemias]

The data on the clinical trials of karminomycin, a new antitumor antibiotic are presented. The drug was used in the treatment of 46 adult patients with leukemia. Karminomycin was used in primary inducing therapy and treatment of relapses. The results of the trials showed that karminomycin had a definite therapeutic activity in treatment of acute myeloblast leukemia at various stages of the process. A rapid effect of the antibiotic provided its use in emergency cases with rapidly progressing variants of the disease.     

Shift of aberrant antigen expression at relapse or at treatment failure in acute leukemia

The flow cytometric detection of aberrant antigen expression is one method proposed for the quantification of minimal residual disease (MRD) in acute leukemias. The present study was designed to investigate the stability of the aberrant antigen expression at relapse or at treatment failure of initial chemotherapy. For this purpose, multiparameter immunophenotyping with a panel of 15 monoclonal antibodies was used at diagnosis as well as at relapse (43 patients with overall 65 aberrations) and at treatment failure (35 patients with overall 66 aberrations). There was a significant decrease in the percentage of the initially described aberrant antigen expression on leukemia blasts at relapse (P = 0.001; n = 65) as well as at treatment failure (P = 0.0001; n = 66) considering all aberrations in the whole leukemia population. Concerning only patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), significant decreases in the aberrant expression could be detected at relapse (P = 0.031; n = 42) and at treatment failure (P = 0.0001; n = 52). The changes in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) were significant only at relapse (P = 0.006; n = 23). Initially, the most informative aberration was not detectable in four patients at relapse and in seven patients at treatment failure. A decrease of under 50% of the initial value was observed in another 8 patients at relapse and in 10 patients at treatment failure. In further studies assessing the detection of aberrant antigen expression for MRD, quantification of the relapses should be explicitly analyzed regarding the persistence of the initially described aberrant antigen expression.

Tuberculous Lymphadenitis

A total of 43 episodes of tuberculosis lymphadenitis were treated in 32 adult patients. In 12 instances the affected lymph node was excised without any chemotherapy; there were 10 relapses. The treatment was local excision of the affected lymph nodes together with antituberculosis chemotherapy with at least two drugs in 30 instances; there were no relapses following such therapy.Presumably patients with tuberculosis lymphadenitis are still sometimes treated with surgery alone because that was at one time the orthodox line of surgical teaching. Such a view is out of date: these patients should always be given antituberculosis therapy in addition to any surgical measures.
