Abstract

This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of recombinant human interleukin 11 (rhIL-11) and recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) in mobilization for autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (APBSCT). 16 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or acute myeloblastic leukemia were given myelosuppressive chemotherapy, then were mobilized by using rhG-CSF 5 microg/(kg.d) for median 5.5 days and rhIL-11 50 microg/(kg.d) for median 4 days (experimental group) or rhG-CSF 5 microg/(kg.d) alone for median 5.5 days (control group). After mobilizing, the peripheral blood leucocyte and platelet counts, total mononuclear cells, CD34+ cells and CFU-GM counts in PBSC collection, and amount of apheresed platelet transfusion were assayed. The results showed that the peripheral blood leucocyte and platelet counts, total mononuclear cell, CD34+ cell and CFU-GM counts in PBSC collection were no significant difference between two groups (p>0.05). After APBSCT, the median time for neutrophil count>or=0.5x10(9)/L and the median time for platelet count>or=20x10(9)/L were 10.5 and 11.5 days in experimental group, while were 13 and 13 days in control group, respectively. The median amount of apheresed platelet tr...Continue Reading

Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease with approximately 20,000 cases per year in the United States. AML also accounts for 15-20% of all childhood acute leukemias, while it is responsible for more than half of the leukemic deaths in these patients. Here is the latest research on this disease.

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.

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.
