Abstract
Revaccination after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is critical to prevent morbidity and mortality from vaccine-preventable illnesses. The global aim of our quality improvement initiative was to enhance timely, correct, and effective revaccination after pediatric HCT. The SMART aim of our project was to decrease median unvaccinated time by 4 months by decreasing the time to vaccine eligibility, time from eligibility to vaccine initiation, and time to completion of the vaccine series. A multidisciplinary group performed a cross-sectional quantitative and qualitative evaluation of revaccination practices at our institution. We identified factors associated with delayed, incorrect, or incomplete revaccination. Several plan-do-study-act interventions were implemented to address these drivers, including revising immune readiness criteria, increasing auditing of primary care administered immunizations, and, importantly, establishing a dedicated revaccination clinic within the HCT clinic at our center. The time to vaccine eligibility decreased from 12.6 months to 10 months (a 20% decrease), and the time to complete the vaccine series decreased from 19.3 months to 15.7 months (a 19% decrease). With a quality improvement initiative, we addressed the many causes of delayed or incomplete revaccination post-HCT and through a team-based approach successfully decreased the time to vaccine start and time to vaccine completion at our center.

Abstract
Rare diseases collectively exact a high toll on society due to their sheer number and overall prevalence. Their heterogeneity, diversity, and nature pose daunting clinical challenges for both management and treatment. In this review, we discuss recent advances in clinical applications of gene therapy for rare diseases, focusing on a variety of viral and non-viral strategies. The use of adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors is discussed in the context of Luxturna, licenced for the treatment of RPE65 deficiency in the retinal epithelium. Imlygic, a herpes virus vector licenced for the treatment of refractory metastatic melanoma, will be an example of oncolytic vectors developed against rare cancers. Yescarta and Kymriah will showcase the use of retrovirus and lentivirus vectors in the autologous ex vivo production of chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T), licenced for the treatment of refractory leukaemias and lymphomas. Similar retroviral and lentiviral technology can be applied to autologous haematopoietic stem cells, exemplified by Strimvelis and Zynteglo, licenced treatments for adenosine deaminase-severe combined immunodeficiency (ADA-SCID) and β-thalassaemia respectively. Antisense oligonucleotide technologies will be highlighted through Onpattro and Tegsedi, RNA interference drugs licenced for familial transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis, and Spinraza, a splice-switching treatment for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). An initial comparison of the effectiveness of AAV and oligonucleotide therapies in SMA is possible with Zolgensma, an AAV serotype 9 vector, and Spinraza. Through these examples of marketed gene therapies and gene cell therapies, we will discuss the expanding applications of such novel technologies to previously intractable rare diseases.

Abstract
The field of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for treating various malignant neoplasms has been given researchers' attention due to its ability to be a selective and minimally invasive cancer therapy strategy. The possibility of tumor cell infection and hence high recurrence rates in cancer patients tends to restrict autologous transplantation. So, the photodynamic tissue purging process, which consists of selective photoinactivation of the malignant cells in the graft, is defined as a compromising strategy to purify contaminated tissues before transplantation. In this strategy, the direct malignant cells' death results from the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation through the activation of a photosensitizer (PS) by light exposure in the presence of oxygen. Since new PS generations can effectively penetrate the tissue, PDT could be an ideal ex vivo tissue purging protocol that eradicates cancer cells derived from various malignancies. The challenge is that the applied pharmacologic ex vivo tissue purging should efficiently induce tumor cells with minor influence on normal tissue cells. This review aims to provide an overview of the current status of the most effective PDT strategies and PS development concerning their potential application in ex vivo purging before hematopoietic stem cell or ovarian tissue transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pegfilgrastim is a covalently bound conjugate of filgrastim and mono-methoxypolyethylene glycol with a longer half-life. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS We report on phase II prospective monocentric trial examining the feasibility of stem cell mobilization with 12 mg single dose pegfilgrastim in related donors. The objectives were to determine the optimal collection day, defined as CD34+ concentration in peripheral blood (PB) >50 cells/μl, the number of donors collected with single leukapheresis, and the peak level of pegfilgrastim in donor-serum. Furthermore, the cell composition of grafts was assessed and compared to published data. RESULTS The results included about 28 matched related donors. The median pegfilgrastim serum level remained >200 ng/mL for 48 hours before declining, with the maximal measured concentration of 259.49 ng/ml 24 h after application. The median white blood cell count and CD34 count in PB peaked on day four with 52.6 (range 22.8-85.0) Gpt/l and 66.25 (range 22.9-136.6) cells/μl, respectively. A CD34+ count >50 cells/μl on day four was detected in 75% of donors. 79% of the donors underwent a single collection. Conventional filgrastim was administered additionally in two donors, due to insufficient CD 34+ concentration in PB. 89% of donors showed CD34+ yields ≥4 (median 6.5, range 4.6-14.5) × 10/kg body weight of the recipient. All grafts were administered without rejections. DISCUSSION The results of this trial showed that stem cell mobilization with pegfilgrastim is a feasible, and attractive option. This is the first trial presenting the kinetics of pegfilgrastim serum levels in healthy donors.

Abstract
Patients who have received haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have a high rate of pulmonary complications, and in this immunosuppressed population, fungal pneumonia is of great concern. Fungal pneumonia can have a similar appearance to non-infectious pulmonary processes in HSCT patients, and radiologists should be familiar with the subtle features that may help to differentiate these disease entities. The focus of this article is on the diagnosis of fungal pneumonia in HSCT patients with an emphasis on radiologists’ roles in establishing the diagnosis of fungal pneumonia and the guidance of clinical management.

Abstract
Cancer represents the leading cause of disease-related death and treatment-associated morbidity in children with an increasing trend in recent decades worldwide. Nevertheless, the 5-year survival of childhood cancer patients has been raised impressively to more than 80% during the past decades, primarily attributed to improved diagnostic technologies and multiagent cytotoxic regimens. This strong benefit of more efficient tumor control and prolonged survival is compromised by an increased risk of adverse and fatal late sequelae. Long-term survivors of pediatric tumors are at the utmost risk for non-carcinogenic late effects such as cardiomyopathies, neurotoxicity, or pneumopathies, as well as the development of secondary primary malignancies as the most detrimental consequence of genotoxic chemo- and radiotherapy. Promising approaches to reducing the risk of adverse late effects in childhood cancer survivors include high precision irradiation techniques like proton radiotherapy or non-genotoxic targeted therapies and immune-based treatments. However, to date, these therapies are rarely used to treat pediatric cancer patients and survival rates, as well as incidences of late effects, have changed little over the past two decades in this population. Here we provide an overview of the epidemiology and etiology of childhood cancers, current developments for their treatment, and therapy-related adverse late health consequences with a special focus on second primary malignancies.

Cannabidiol Enhances Intestinal Cannabinoid Receptor Type 2 Receptor Expression and Activation Increasing Regulatory T Cells and Reduces Murine Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease without Interfering with the Graft-versus-Leukemia Response. J Pharmacol Exp Ther 2021; 377:273-283.

Abstract
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a highly lipidic phytocannabinoid with remarkable anti-inflammatory effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate CBD's effects and mechanisms of action in the treatment of mice subjected to acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). aGVHD was induced by the transplantation of bone marrow cells and splenocytes from C57BL-6j to Balb-c mice. The recipient mice were treated daily with CBD, and the treatment reduced mouse mortality by decreasing inflammation and injury and promoting immune regulation in the jejunum, ileum, and liver. Analysis of the jejunum and ileum showed that CBD treatment reduced the levels of C-C motif chemokine ligand (CCL) 2, CCL3, CCL5, tumor necrosis factor α, and interferon γ (IFNγ). CCL3 and IFNγ levels were also decreased in the liver. Mechanistically, CBD also increased the number of cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2) receptors on CD4+ and forkhead box P3+ cells in the intestine, which may explain the reduction in proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Antagonists of the CB2 receptor reduced the survival rates of CBD-treated mice, suggesting the participation of this receptor in the effects of CBD. Furthermore, treatment with CBD did not interfere with the graft-versus-leukemia response. CBD treatment appears to protect aGVHD mice by anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects partially mediated by CB2 receptor interaction. Altogether, our study suggests that CBD represents an interesting approach in the treatment of aGVHD, with potential therapeutic applications in patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This study provides for the first time a mechanism by which cannabidiol, a phytocannabinoid with no psychoactive effect, induces immunomodulation in the graft-versus-host disease. Enhancing intestinal cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2) receptor expression on CD4+ and forkhead box P3+ cells and increasing the number of these regulatory cells, cannabidiol decreases proinflammatory cytokines and increases graft-versus-host disease mice survival. This effect is dependent of CB2 receptor activation. Besides, cannabidiol did not interfere with graft-versus-leukemia response, a central response to avoid primary disease relapse.

Abstract
The nutritional status of patients submitted to hematopoietic stem cell transplant is considered an independent risk factor, which may influence on quality of life and tolerance to the proposed treatment. The impairment of nutritional status during hematopoietic stem cell transplant occurs mainly due to the adverse effects resulting from conditioning to which the patient is subjected. Therefore, adequate nutritional evaluation and follow-up during hematopoietic stem cell transplant are essential. To emphasize the importance of nutritional status and body composition during treatment, as well as the main characteristics related to the nutritional assessment of the patient, the Brazilian Consensus on Nutrition in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant: Adults was prepared, aiming to standardize and update Nutritional Therapy in this area. Dietitians, nutrition physicians and hematologists from 15 Brazilian centers thar are references in hematopoietic stem cell transplant took part.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was the analysis of transplant outcomes and survival in children treated with allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) for non-malignant disorders, with a focus on risk factor analysis of transplant-related mortality (TRM). MATERIAL AND METHODS The treatment outcome was analyzed retrospectively in 10 consecutive years in 4 pediatric transplant centers in Poland. To compare the outcomes, patient data were analyzed according to the diagnosis, age at transplant, donor type, stem cell source, conditioning regimens, transplanted CD34+ cells dose, and pediatric TRM score. RESULTS From 183 analyzed patients, 27 (14.8%) died, all of them due to transplant-related complications. TRM occurred more frequently in matched unrelated donor (MUD) transplant recipients vs. matched sibling donor (MSD) transplant recipients (p=0.02); in peripheral blood (PB) recipients vs. bone marrow (BM) recipients (p=0.004); and in patients receiving >5×10⁶/kg CD34+ cells (p<0.0001). OS differed significantly according to underlying disease comparing to other diagnoses. Lower survival was found in patients transplanted from MUD (p=0.02). OS was higher in patients receiving BM (p=0.001) and in those receiving ≤5×10⁶/kg CD34+ cells (p<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed lower probability of TRM in BM recipients (p=0.04). The probability of TRM was higher in SCID patients (p=0.02) and in patients receiving >5×10⁶/kg CD34+ cells (p=0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Underlying disease, stem cell source, and CD34+ dose higher than 5×10⁶/kg were the most important risk factors for TRM, and they all affected OS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is a common finding in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) patients, and there is some evidence that malnutrition might negatively affect the transplant outcomes. METHOD We performed a retrospective study with 148 patients aged 18-75 years, who underwent alloHSCT between 2011 and 2017. Patients were classified according to the body mass index (BMI) and the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA). The SGA was assessed on the day of hospitalization for the transplant, and classifies patients into three groups: A (well-nourished), B (moderately malnourished) and C (severely malnourished). RESULTS The SGA classified 49 (33%) patients as well-nourished, 54 (37%) as moderately malnourished, and 45 (30%) as severely malnourished. SGA-C was also associated with severe acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) with a cumulative incidence (CI) of 31% vs. a CI of 14% for combined well-nourished or moderately malnourished group (SGA-A or -B, P = 0.017). In multivariate analysis, SGA-C compared to SGA-A or -B, remained as an independent risk factor for aGVHD (hazard ratio - HR 1.68, 95% confidence interval - 95% CI 1.02-2.74), and nonrelapse mortality (NRM - HR 3.63, 95% CI 1.76-7.46), worse progression free survival (HR 2.12, 95% CI 1.25-3.60), and worse overall survival (HR 3.27, 95% CI 1.90-5.64). CONCLUSION Malnutrition increases the risk of aGVHD and NRM and has a negative impact on survival.

Abstract
The aim of this narrative review is to report on the current knowledge regarding the clinical use of umbilical cord blood (CB) based on articles from PubMed and clinical trials registered on ClinicalTrials.gov. An increasing amount of evidence suggests that CB may be used for both early diagnostics and treatment of cerebral palsy. The acidity of CB and its biochemical parameters, including dozens of cytokines, growth factors, and other metabolites (such as amino acids, acylcarnitines, phosphatidylcholines, succinate, glycerol, 3-hydroxybutyrate, and O-phosphocholine) are predictors of future neurodevelopment. In addition, several clinical studies confirmed the safety and efficacy of CB administration in both autologous and allogeneic models, including a meta-analysis of five clinical trials involving a total of 328 participants. Currently, nine clinical trials assessing the use of autologous umbilical CB in children diagnosed with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy or cerebral palsy are in progress. The total population assessed in these trials exceeds 2500 patients.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) surface during embryogenesis leading to the genesis of the hematopoietic system, which is vital for immune function, homeostasis balance, and inflammatory responses in the human body. Hematopoiesis is the process of blood cell formation, which initiates from hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) and is responsible for the generation of all adult blood cells. With their self-renewing and pluripotent properties, human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) provide an unprecedented opportunity to create in vitro models of differentiation that will revolutionize our understanding of human development, especially of the human blood system. The utilization of hPSCs provides newfound approaches for studying the origins of human blood cell diseases and generating progenitor populations for cell-based treatments. Current shortages in our knowledge of adult HSCs and the molecular mechanisms that control hematopoietic development in physiological and pathological conditions can be resolved with better understanding of the regulatory networks involved in hematopoiesis, their impact on gene expression, and further enhance our ability to develop novel strategies of clinical importance. In this review, we delve into the recent advances in the understanding of the various cellular and molecular pathways that lead to blood development from hPSCs and examine the current knowledge of human hematopoietic development. We also review how in vitro differentiation of hPSCs can undergo hematopoietic transition and specification, including major subtypes, and consider techniques and protocols that facilitate the generation of hematopoietic stem cells.

Abstract
This is the seventh special EBMT report on the indications for haematopoietic stem cell transplantation for haematological diseases, solid tumours and immune disorders. Our aim is to provide general guidance on transplant indications according to prevailing clinical practice in EBMT countries and centres. In order to inform patient decisions, these recommendations must be considered together with the risk of the disease, the risk of the transplant procedure and the results of non-transplant strategies. In over two decades since the first report, the EBMT indications manuscripts have incorporated changes in transplant practice coming from scientific and technical developments in the field. In this same period, the establishment of JACIE accreditation has promoted high quality and led to improved outcomes of patient and donor care and laboratory performance in transplantation and cellular therapy. An updated report with operating definitions, revised indications and an additional set of data with overall survival at 1 year and non-relapse mortality at day 100 after transplant in the commonest standard-of-care indications is presented. Additional efforts are currently underway to enable EBMT member centres to benchmark their risk-adapted outcomes as part of the Registry upgrade Project 2020 against national and/or international outcome data.

Abstract
Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) are preferentially used as a hematopoietic stem cell source for autologous blood stem cell transplantation (ABSCT) upon high-dose chemotherapy (HDT) in a variety of hemato-oncologic diseases. As a prerequisite, hematopoietic stem cells have to be mobilized into the peripheral blood (PB) and collected by leukapheresis (LP). Despite continuous improvements, e.g., the introduction of plerixafor, current challenges are the further optimization regarding the leukapheresis procedure, preventing collection failures, as well as benchmarking and harmonization of mobilization approaches between institutions.This chapter summarizes the current PBSC mobilization and collection approaches and is focusing on timely orchestration of mobilization therapy, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) application, and peripheral blood (PB) CD34+ cell assessment. Moreover, strategies for prediction and performance assessment of the PBSC collection yield are discussed.

Abstract
Successful collection of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) depends on the optimal orchestration of mobilization chemotherapy, granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) application, and CD34+ cell number assessment in the peripheral blood (PB). However, determining the optimal timing in accordance to the applied chemomobilization regimen can be challenging. Although most centers apply their own local timing schedules, a reliable timetable including the currently most often used mobilization regimens is lacking. We present a comprehensive analysis of the timing modalities for 11 of the most commonly used chemomobilization regimens. A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical and PBSC collection parameters (including duration of G-CSF application, time point of CD34+ assessment, PB CD34+ cell count, number of leukapheresis [LP] sessions, processed blood volume, and CD34+ collection results) of 91 representatively selected patients who had undergone stem cell mobilization at 2 collection centers. Six to 10 patients were analyzed per regimen with a variety of diagnoses, including multiple myeloma, malignant lymphoma, and sarcoma. No collection failures (<2 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg body weight) were observed. All analyzed patients successfully reached their individual collection goal in adherence to the given schedule of chemotherapy, application of G-CSF, measurement of CD34+ cells, and subsequent LP. The presented data on the timing of chemomobilization, G-CSF application, and stem cell collection may be helpful in clinical decision making and contribute to a more transparent and predictable treatment process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A low platelet count before mobilization has recurrently been identified as risk factor for poor mobilization. METHODS To determine the relevance of this finding for peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) mobilization, including pre-emptive or rescue plerixafor in the case of poor mobilization, we retrospectively analyzed all patients undergoing PBSC collection at our institution between January 2014 and December 2015 (n = 380). RESULTS In total, 99% of the patients (377/380) successfully collected a minimum of 2 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg body weight sufficient for a single transplant. Rescue or pre-emptive plerixafor was administered to 11% of the patients (42/380). No correlations between the platelet count before mobilization and the number of peripheral blood CD34+ cells or the CD34+ cell collection result were detected in the entire population or the subgroups according to diagnosis (newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, relapsed multiple myeloma, lymphoma, amyloid light-chain amyloidosis, sarcoma, or germ cell tumor). However, patients requiring pre-emptive or rescue plerixafor had a significantly lower platelet count before mobilization (217/nl vs. 245/nl; p = 0.004). CONCLUSION With the current state of the art PBSC mobilization strategies, the platelet count before mobilization was not associated with the CD34+ cell collection result but was associated with the need for pre-emptive or rescue application of plerixafor.

Quality of Life and Psychopathology in Adults Who Underwent Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) in Childhood: A Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis. Front Psychol 2017; 8:1316. [PMID: 28848462 PMCID: PMC5550669 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2017.01316] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2017] [Accepted: 07/17/2017] [Indexed: 01/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Patients who undergo pediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) may experience long-term psychological sequelae and poor Quality of Life (QoL) in adulthood. This study aimed to investigate subjective illness experience, QoL, and psychopathology in young adults who have survived pediatric HSCT. Method: The study involved patients treated with HSCT in the Hematology-Oncology Department between 1984 and 2007. Psychopathology and QoL were investigated using the SCL-90-R and SF-36. Socio-demographic and medical information was also collected. Finally, participants were asked to write a brief composition about their experiences of illness and care. Qualitative analysis of the texts was performed using T-LAB, an instrument for text analysis that allows the user to highlight the occurrences and co-occurrences of lemma. Quantitative analyses were performed using non-parametric tests (Spearman correlations, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests). Results: Twenty-one patients (9 males) participated in the study. No significant distress was found on the SCL-90 Global Severity Index, but it was found on specific scales. On the SF-36, lower scores were reported on scales referring to bodily pain, general health, and physical and social functioning. All the measures were significantly (p < 0.05) associated with specific socio-demographic and medical variables (gender, type of pathology, type of HSCT, time elapsed between communication of the need to transplant and effective transplantation, and days of hospitalization). With regard to the narrative analyses, males focused on expressions related to the body and medical therapies, while females focused on people they met during treatment, family members, and donors. Low general health and treatment with autologous HSCT were associated with memories about chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and the body parts involved, while high general health was associated with expressions focused on gratitude (V-Test ± 1.96). Conclusion: Pediatric HSCT survivors are more likely to experience psychological distress and low QoL in adulthood compared with the general population. These aspects, along with survivors' subjective illness experience, show differences according to specific medical and socio-demographic variables. Studies are needed in order to improve the care and long-term follow-up of these families.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent times have witnessed a significant increase in the number of patients affected by problems related to oncological treatment Aims of this study is to evaluate dental affectation among patients awaiting hematopoietic progenitor cell transplant (HPCT), and they showed high caries risk, so it should establish a protocol prior to transplantation. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 72 patients due for HPCT. Clinical and radiological explorations were performed and oral photos taken. The amount of caries, missing teeth and fillings were registered for each patient. CAO, DMFS and Restoration Indices were calculated. RESULTS 83% of patients presented caries. 48 patients (67%) had lost at least one tooth. Only 32 patients (44%) had received some sort of conservative treatment. The average CAO index value obtained was 10.37. The DMFS index showed an average of 27.06 affected surfaces. Of the 72 patients studied, 40 (56%) showed a restoration index value of zero. CONCLUSIONS These patients presented a high number of carious teeth and a low restoration index. The presence of so many possible septic foci in an individual, who will later become susceptible to infection, highlights the importance of preventative treatment and bucco-dental restoration within this patient population. These patients with a high caries risk can be treated with CAMBRA system. Key words:Hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation, high caries risk, state of oral health, haematological disease, CAMBRA system.

Abstract
Hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD), also called sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), is a potentially life-threatening complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Untreated hepatic VOD/SOS with multi-organ failure (MOF) is associated with >80% mortality. Defibrotide has shown promising efficacy treating hepatic VOD/SOS with MOF in phase 2 studies. This phase 3 study investigated safety and efficacy of defibrotide in patients with established hepatic VOD/SOS and advanced MOF. Patients (n = 102) given defibrotide 25 mg/kg per day were compared with 32 historical controls identified out of 6867 medical charts of HSCT patients by blinded independent reviewers. Baseline characteristics between groups were well balanced. The primary endpoint was survival at day +100 post-HSCT; observed rates equaled 38.2% in the defibrotide group and 25% in the controls (23% estimated difference; 95.1% confidence interval [CI], 5.2-40.8;P= .0109, using a propensity-adjusted analysis). Observed day +100 complete response (CR) rates equaled 25.5% for defibrotide and 12.5% for controls (19% difference using similar methodology; 95.1% CI, 3.5-34.6;P= .0160). Defibrotide was generally well tolerated with manageable toxicity. Related adverse events (AEs) included hemorrhage or hypotension; incidence of common hemorrhagic AEs (including pulmonary alveolar [11.8% and 15.6%] and gastrointestinal bleeding [7.8% and 9.4%]) was similar between the defibrotide and control groups, respectively. Defibrotide was associated with significant improvement in day +100 survival and CR rate. The historical-control methodology offers a novel, meaningful approach for phase 3 evaluation of orphan diseases associated with high mortality. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a well-documented complication of pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Dialysis after HSCT is associated with a lower overall survival (OS); however, the association between less severe AKI and OS is unclear. We retrospectively studied 205 consecutive pediatric HSCT patients to determine the incidence and impact of all stages of AKI on OS in pediatric HSCT recipients. We used the peak pRIFLE grade during the first 100 days to classify AKI (ie, R = risk, I = injury, F = failure, L = loss of function, E = end-stage renal disease) and used the modified Schwartz formula to estimate glomerular filtration rate. AKI was observed in 173 of 205 patients (84%). The 1-year OS rate decreased significantly with an increasing severity of pRIFLE grades (P < .01). There was no difference in the OS between patients without AKI and the R/I group. Regardless of the dialysis status, stages F/L/E had significantly lower rates of OS compared with patients without AKI or R/I (P < .01). There was no difference in OS among patients with dialysis and F/L/E without dialysis (P = .65). Stages F/L/E predicted mortality independent of acute graft-versus-host disease, gender, and malignancy. The OS of children after HSCT decreases significantly with an increasing severity of AKI within the first 100 days post-transplant. Although our data did not show an increased risk of mortality with stages R/I, stages F/L/E predicted mortality regardless of dialysis. Prevention and minimization of AKI may improve survival after pediatric HSCT.

Abstract
Mycosis fungoides and Sèzary syndrome are the most common subtypes of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. Even though, in early-stage disease, Mycosis fungoides commonly has a more indolent course, disease will progress in about 20% of such patients. About 30% of patients have been reported to develop advanced-stage disease and, at present, there is no cure for the disease. A number of systemic approaches have been used for advanced-stage mycosis fungoides (IIB-IV) and transformed disease. Aggressive approaches seem to be warranted in such patients. The scope of this review is the stem cell transplantation in mycosis fungoides and its leukemic variant, Sèzary syndrome.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) possess a multi-lineage potential and immunoregulatory activities and provide a great potential in cell-based technologies. However, MSC suppressive activity raises concerns regarding the possible adverse effect of MSCs on the immune recovery. The influence of autologous MSC co-transplantation on recovery of T cell subsets in patients receiving autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) for malignant lymphomas and multiple myeloma were characterized. Co-transplantation of MSCs improved lymphocyte recovery most effectively in patients with low input of hematopoietic stem cells or low absolute lymphocyte count in apheresis product. MSC co-transplantation improved early recovery of both memory and naive T cells with more prominent effect on naive CD4(+) T cells. Patients with MSC co-transplantation showed more effective reconstitution of recent thymic emigrants. These data indicate the positive impact of MSCs on immune reconstitution and note MSC co-transplantation is feasible to optimize the outcomes of AHSCT in malignant lymphoma patients.

Abstract
Successful in vitro expansion of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) will facilitate the application of HSC transplantation for the treatment of various diseases, including hematological malignancies. To achieve this expansion, the molecular mechanisms that control the fate of HSCs must be deciphered. Leukemia-initiating cells (LICs) or leukemia stem cells (LSCs) may originate from normal HSCs, which suggest that the dysregulation of the mechanisms that regulate the cell fate of HSCs may underlie leukemogenesis. Here we review the recent progress in the application of HSCs, the regulatory mechanisms of the fate of HSCs, and the origins of leukemia.

Abstract
This is the sixth special report that the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation regularly publishes on the current practice and indications for haematopoietic SCT for haematological diseases, solid tumours and immune disorders in Europe. Major changes have occurred in the field of haematopoietic SCT over the last years. Cord blood units as well as haploidentical donors have been increasingly used as stem cell sources for allo-SCT, thus, augmenting the possibility of finding a suitable donor for a patient. Continuous refinement of conditioning strategies has also expanded not only the number of potential indications but also has permitted consideration of older patients or those with co-morbidity for a transplant. There is accumulating evidence of the role of haematopoietic SCT in non-haematological disorders such as autoimmune diseases. On the other hand, the advent of new drugs and very effective targeted therapy has challenged the role of SCT in some instances or at least, modified its position in the treatment armamentarium of a given patient. An updated report with revised tables and operating definitions is presented.

Abstract
The outcomes of matched unrelated donor (MUD) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and immunosuppressive therapy (IST) in patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) remain controversial. The clinical outcome in patients that undergo transplantation following failed IST is typically poorer when compared with patients that initially underwent transplantation. Clinical treatment algorithms have been proposed to determine the management of such patients, and account for individual conditions, personal preferences and prognostic risk factors. The present study reports the promising outcome of a 22-year-old patient exhibiting SAA. The patient underwent peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) from an MUD using a fludarabine-based conditioning regimen and low-dose total body irradiation as an alternative method to first-line IST. The patient achieved rapid bone marrow reconstitution and has been in complete remission for 32 months. The aim of the fludarabine-based conditioning regimen with PBSCT was to improve the patient’s therapeutic outcome and provide a convenient treatment strategy. Furthermore, this regimen extends the application of HSCT to patients who are older or those that are without a matched related donor.

Ultrasonography in the diagnosis of hemorrhagic cystitis - a complication of bone marrow transplantation in pediatric oncology patients. J Ultrason 2014; 14:258-72. [PMID: 26675710 PMCID: PMC4579689 DOI: 10.15557/jou.2014.0026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2013] [Revised: 11/08/2013] [Accepted: 11/13/2013] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of hemorrhagic cystitis following bone marrow transplantation in children. Material and methods The study involved an analysis of clinical material and the results of imaging tests performed in 334 patients who underwent hematopoietic cell transplantation. Ultrasonographic findings in 42 patients with hemorrhagic cystitis were analyzed in detail. The ultrasound images served to assess the severity of hemorrhagic cystitis and the results were compared with the clinical assessment of the disease on the Droller scale, as well as the laboratory and endoscopic tests. Results In the studied group of patients hemorrhagic cystitis following allogeneic transplantation was diagnosed in 12.5% cases. 73.8% patients received transplants from unrelated donors, 26.2% – from compatible siblings. The study revealed a higher incidence of hemorrhagic cystitis in children above 10 years of age. Grade 3 according to the Droller was diagnosed in 42.9%, grade 2 – in 30.9%, grade 4 – in 14.3%, and grade 1 – in 11.9% patients. The number of ultrasound examinations depended on the clinical symptoms, severity, duration and co-occurrence of other complications following the transplantation and was within the 1–15 range (average: 4.6). Grades 3 and 4 were related to the poor clinical condition of the patients and to their longer hospitalization. During this period there was an increased risk of renal malfunction and acute renal failure, post-inflammatory narrowing of the ureters, hydronephrosis, and in grade 4 the fibrosis of the bladder with reduced bladder capacity. Analyses demonstrated a significant correlation between the ultrasound image of the bladder wall and the clinical severity. Conclusions Ultrasound with Doppler options remains the primary diagnostic tool in the evaluation of hemorrhagic cystitis, and is useful in terms of its diagnosis, determination of the severity, and monitoring of the treatment.

Evaluation of an easy and affordable flow cytometer for volumetric haematopoietic stem cell counting. BLOOD TRANSFUSION = TRASFUSIONE DEL SANGUE 2014; 12:416-20. [PMID: 24887218 DOI: 10.2450/2014.0198-13] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2013] [Accepted: 11/19/2013] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate estimation of haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) counts by flow cytometry may be difficult in laboratories in which sophisticated equipment and staff with specific expertise are not available. Affordable flow cytometers that can perform basic functions may help to overcome these difficulties. In this study we compared HSC and leucocyte counts determined by volumetric and bead-based protocols performed with the small, low-cost Accuri(®) C6, with those obtained with two gold-standard instruments, the four-colour FACSCalibur(®) and the eight-colour FACSCantoII(®), our reference flow cytometers. MATERIALS AND METHODS With the three cytometers we tested, in parallel, 111 consecutive samples from cord blood, peripheral blood from patients with myelofibrosis and myeloproliferative syndromes, fresh and thawed HSC collected by apheresis and bone marrow products. The findings were compared with one-way ANOVA, Bland-Altman analysis and linear regression. RESULTS The results of HSC and leucocyte enumeration by the three devices were strongly correlated (r(2)>0.99; p<0.0001). ANOVA performed on different subgroups of samples did not reveal significant differences between HSC count determined by the C6 bead-based and reference flow cytometers in any of the subgroups. Regarding the C6 volumetric protocol, a statistically significant difference was observed only in the cord blood subgroup. Time for instrument set-up, calibration and analysis was slightly longer with Accuri(®) C6 (40 min) than with FACSCantoII(®) (30 min). DISCUSSION Accuri(®) C6 is a reliable instrument for HSC enumeration in fresh samples, using both volumetric and bead-based approaches, although the volumetric protocol on cord blood samples needs to be improved. The Accuri(®) C6 is easy to use, does not require profound knowledge of flow cytometry and could be employed in an urgent setting. Its performance may be improved by more efficient calibration and shorter analysis time.

Development of model for analysing respective collections of intended hematopoietic stem cells and harvests of unintended mature cells in apheresis for autologous hematopoietic stem cell collection. Transfus Apher Sci 2014; 50:294-302.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) required to perform peripheral hematopoietic autologous stem cell transplantation (APBSCT) can be collected by processing several blood volumes (BVs) in leukapheresis sessions. However, this may cause granulocyte harvest in graft and decrease in patient's platelet blood level. Both consequences may induce disturbances in patient. One apheresis team's current purpose is to improve HSC collection by increasing HSC collection and prevent increase in granulocyte and platelet harvests. Before improving HSC collection it seemed important to know more about the way to harvest these types of cells. The purpose of our study was to develop a simple model for analysing respective collections of intended CD34+ cells among HSC (designated here as HSC) and harvests of unintended platelets or granulocytes among mature cells (designated here as mature cells) considering the number of BVs processed and factors likely to influence cell collection or harvest. For this, we processed 1, 2 and 3 BVs in 59 leukapheresis sessions and analysed corresponding collections and harvests with a referent device (COBE Spectra). First we analysed the amounts of HSC collected and mature cells harvested and second the evolution of the respective shares of HSC and mature cells collected or harvested throughout the BV processes. HSC collections and mature cell harvests increased globally (p<0.0001) and their respective shares remained stable throughout the BV processes (p non-significant). We analysed the role of intrinsic (patient's features) and extrinsic (features before starting leukapheresis sessions) factors in collections and harvests, which showed that only pre-leukapheresis blood levels (CD34+cells and platelets) influenced both cell collections and harvests (CD34+cells and platelets) (p<0.001) and shares of HSC collections and mature unintended cells harvests (p<0.001) throughout the BV processes. Altogether, our results suggested that the main factors likely to influence intended HSC collections or unintended mature cell harvests were pre-leukapheresis blood cell levels. Our model was meant to assist apheresis teams in analysing shares of HSC collected and mature cells harvested with new devices or with new types of HSC mobilization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to assess the incidence and clinical relevance of active Human Herpes Virus 6 (HHV6) infections in pediatric patients after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. DESIGN AND SETTINGS Retrospective analysis of samples prospectively collected at Akdeniz University Medical Faculty Hospital, Antalya, Turkey, between May 2006 and July 2007 from 15 pediatric patients with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). SUBJECTS AND METHODS A commercial quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction kit was used to analyze plasma samples collected from 15 pediatric allogeneic HSCT recipients. RESULTS HHV6 DNA was found positive in 8 (53%) patients. HHV6 DNA levels above 1000 copies/mL were found only in 2 patients and they were also consecutively positive for HHV6 DNA. Age at transplantation, use of ATG, and receiving grafts other than HLA identical siblings increased the risk, with a statistically significant difference, of having HHV6 reactivation with levels exceeding 1000 copies/mL (P values, respectively, P=.03, .001, .025). Active HHV6 infections with HHV6 viremia levels higher than 1000 copies/mL were associated with subsequent delayed platelet engraftment (P=.001), acute graft versus host disease (P=.001), skin rash, and fever of unknown origin. CONCLUSION More than half of pediatric allogeneic HSCT patients develop active HHV6 infection, and especially in patients with high viremic loads, the infection can result in serious clinical situations. A clinically significant cutoff value for viremia seems to be necessary to predict serious clinical complications.

Abstract
Background In childhood cancer, consolidation treatment with chemotherapy followed by
autologous hematopoietic progenitor stem cell transplantation is currently an
accepted treatment modality in patients with high-risk solid tumors or in patients
who have relapsed after conventional treatment. Objectives The objective of this study was to describe the results of transplantation of a
group of children who had high-risk solid tumors or relapsed after conventional
chemotherapy regimens. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted from January 1998 to October 2004 of all
children with pathologic diagnoses of high-risk solid tumors or children that had
previously relapsed after conventional chemotherapy and that were subsequently
submitted to autologous hematopoietic progenitor stem cell transplantation. The
analysis included overall survival rates, event-free survival rates, mortality
rates and chemotherapy complications. Results Nineteen patients were submitted to this approach. The age range was from 27 to
196 months with a median age of 52 months. The overall survival rate at 100 days
was observed in 79%, the three-year event-free survival rate was 63%. The
mortality rate secondary to the myeloablative chemotherapy regimen was 21% (n =
4). Only three patients (15.8%) relapsed with tumor progression after transplant.
Conclusion Autologous hematopoietic progenitor stem cell transplantation is still a
successful procedure in patients with solid tumors refractory to conventional
chemotherapy.

Abstract
Bone marrow transplantation is a well-established stem cell-based therapy for the management of malignant and nonmalignant hematological disorders. In addition to the bone marrow, therapeutic hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) can also be obtained from umbilical cord blood and mobilized peripheral blood. Transplantation of HSCs isolated from these tissues can be carried out with or without prior enrichment of specific cell types. New methodologies have been developed for lineage-specific HSC expansion and their transplantation as a supplementary treatment to whole bone marrow transplantation. In this review we have described the current methodologies for isolating and processing HSCs from various tissues, and discussed strategies to generate sufficient and functional HSCs for clinical and preclinical applications by expansion ex vivo. The various disease conditions in which these cells could be used, and the methods for delivering the cells into patients, are also discussed.

Abstract
Abstract Allogeneic transplant using reduced intensity conditioning is a therapeutic option for patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) who relapse after an autograft. This was a prospective study of 31 consecutive eligible patients with HL who relapsed after an autograft and underwent an allograft using BEAM (BCNU, etoposide, cytarabine, melphalan) conditioning. At a median follow-up of 7 years the progression-free survival (PFS) was 36% (95% confidence interval [CI] 19-54%) and overall survival (OS) was 42% (95% CI 23-59%). In multivariate analysis only residual disease at the time of transplant predicted outcome, with a 4-year PFS and OS of 62% and 75% for patients with minimal residual disease versus 8% and 8% for patients with gross residual disease, respectively (p = 0.005 and p = 0.001, respectively). This benefit seemed to be irrespective of chemosensitivity, with an OS for patients with chemorefractory yet minimal disease of 71% at 4 years. BEAM allogeneic transplant is effective in producing long-term remissions after autograft failure. Regardless of chemosensitivity, minimizing tumor burden pre-transplant may improve long-term outcome.

Abstract
Concentration of bone marrow aspirates is an important prerequisite prior to infusion of ABO incompatible allogeneic marrow and prior to cryopreservation and storage of autologous marrow. In this paper we present our experience in processing 15 harvested bone marrow for ABO incompatible allogeneic and autologous bone marrow (BM) transplantation using Cobe Spectra® cell separator. BM processing resulted in the median recovery of 91.5% CD34+ cells, erythrocyte depletion of 91% and volume reduction of 81%. BM processing using cell separator is safe and effective technique providing high rate of erythrocyte depletion and volume reduction, and acceptable recovery of the CD34+ cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Use of the recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) filgrastim accelerates neutrophil recovery following myelosuppressive chemotherapy. Since filgrastim requires multiple daily administrations, forms of rhG-CSF with a longer half life, including pegfilgrastim, have been developed. Pegfilgrastim is safe and effective in supporting neutrophil recovery and reducing febrile neutropenia after conventional chemotherapy. Pegfilgrastim has also been successfully used to support patients undergoing peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation for haematological malignancies. To our knowledge, no cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) of pegfilgrastim in this setting has been published yet. OBJECTIVE We undertook a CEA to compare a single injection of pegfilgrastim versus repeated administrations of filgrastim in patients who had undergone PBSC transplantation for lymphoma or myeloma. The CEA was set in France and covered a period of 100 ± 10 days from transplant. METHODS The CEA was designed as part of an open-label, multicentre, randomized phase II trial. Costs were assessed from the hospital's point of view and are expressed in 2009 euros. Costs computation focused on inpatient, outpatient, and home care. Costs in the two arms of the study were compared using the Mann-Whitney test. When differences were statistically significant, multiple regression analyses were performed in order to identify cost drivers. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER) were calculated for the major endpoints of the trial; i.e., duration of febrile neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] <0.5 × 10(9)/L and temperature ≥38 °C), duration of neutropenia (ANC <1.0 × 10(9)/L and ANC <0.5 × 10(9)/L), duration of thrombopenia (platelets <50 × 10(9)/L and <20 × 10(9)/L), and days with a temperature ≥38 °C). Uncertainty around the ICER was captured by a probabilistic analysis using a non-parametric bootstrap method. RESULTS 151 patients were enrolled at ten French centres from October 2008 to September 2009. The mean total cost in the pegfilgrastim arm of the study (n = 74) was <euro>25,024 (SD 9,945). That in the filgrastim arm (n = 76) was <euro>28,700 (SD 20,597). Pegfilgrastim strictly dominated filgrastim for days of febrile neutropenia avoided, days of neutropenia (ANC <1.0 × 10(9)/L) avoided, days of thrombopenia (platelets <20 × 10(9)/L) avoided, and days with temperature ≥38 °C) avoided. Pegfilgrastim was less costly and less effective than filgrastim for the number of days with ANC <0.5 × 10(9)/L avoided and the number of days with platelets <50.0 × 10(9)/L avoided. Taking uncertainty into account, the probabilities that pegfilgrastim strictly dominated filgrastim were 67 % for febrile neutropenia, 86 % for neutropenia (ANC <1.0 × 10(9)/L), 59 % for thrombopenia (platelets <20 × 10(9)/L), 86 % for temperature ≥38 °C, 32 % for neutropenia (ANC <0.5 × 10(9)/L), and 43 % for thrombopenia (platelets <50 × 10(9)/L). Conversely, the probability that filgrastim strictly dominated pegfilgrastim for neutropenia (ANC <0.5 × 10(9)/L) is 5 %. CONCLUSION This study found no evidence that the use of pegfilgrastim is associated with greater cost in lymphoma and myeloma patients after high-dose chemotherapy and PBSC transplantation.

Purpose Ablative bone marrow irradiation is an integral part of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. These treatment regimens are based on classically held models of radiation dose and the bone marrow response. Flt-3 ligand (FL) has been suggested as a marker of hematopoiesis and bone marrow status but the kinetics of its response to bone marrow irradiation has yet to be fully characterized. In the current study, we examine plasma FL response to total body and partial body irradiation in mice and its relationship with irradiation dose, time of collection and pattern of bone marrow exposure. Materials/Methods C57BL6 mice received a single whole body or partial body irradiation dose of 1–8 Gy. Plasma was collected by mandibular or cardiac puncture at 24, 48 and 72 hr post-irradiation as well as 1–3 weeks post-irradiation. FL levels were determined via ELISA assay and used to generate two models: a linear regression model and a gated values model correlating plasma FL levels with radiation dose. Results At all doses between 1–8 Gy, plasma FL levels were greater than control and the level of FL increased proportionally to the total body irradiation dose. Differences in FL levels were statistically significant at each dose and at all time points. Partial body irradiation of the trunk areas, encompassing the bulk of the hematopoietically active bone marrow, resulted in significantly increased FL levels over control but irradiation of only the head or extremities did not. FL levels were used to generate a dose prediction model for total body irradiation. In a blinded study, the model differentiated mice into dose received cohorts of 1, 4 or 8 Gy based on plasma FL levels at 24 or 72 hrs post-irradiation. Conclusion Our findings indicate that plasma FL levels might be used as a marker of hematopoietically active bone marrow and radiation exposure in mice.

Abstract
Hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) is a serious complication of stem cell transplantation in children. VOD is characterized by rapid weight gain, hepatomegaly, hyperbilirubinemia and ascites. The pathogenesis of VOD is thought to involve chemotherapy and radiation-induced damage to the sinusoidal endothelium, resulting in endothelial injury, microthrombosis, subendothelial damage and cytokine activation. These processes lead to concomitant progressive hepatocellular dysfunction and subsequent fluid retention and renal impairment. Severe VOD is typically associated with multiorgan failure and high mortality. A number of possible strategies for the prevention and/or treatment of VOD in children have been investigated. The most promising agent to date is defibrotide, a novel polydeoxyribonucleotide with fibrinolytic properties but no major bleeding risk. Numerous studies, including Phase II/III trials, have shown clinical benefit in pediatric patients with the use of defibrotide treatment and prophylaxis. This review discusses VOD in children and focuses on therapeutic options, including defibrotide, in this patient population.
