Abstract

Pulmonary graft versus host disease (GVHD) features irreversible airflow obstruction, which treatment typically involves immunosuppressive regimens. Regardless of whether GVHD is caused by immune overreaction or infection caused by immunologic suppression, the end result is death. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain a balance. We assessed 15 patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in our hospital and collected CD4 cell percentage, forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) data from the same period. Here, we present a dynamic evaluation of the correlativity between the CD4 cell percentage and FEV1 that can predict state balance in pulmonary GVHD patients.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
