Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is the sole curative therapy for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). In the absence of an HLA-matched sibling donor, an HLA-matched unrelated donor (MUD) is considered the leading candidate. However, in recent decades, the alternative donor pool has been extended to HLA-haploidentical donors, especially with the development of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis using post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy). Comparative data for haploidentical and MUD allo-HCT in patients with MDS are scarce. We retrospectively analyzed 697 adult patients with MDS who underwent HLA-haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (haplo-PBSCT) with PTCy (n = 136), MUD bone marrow transplantation (MUD-BMT) (n = 465), or MUD peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (MUD-PBSCT) (n = 96) as their first allo-HCT between 2014 and 2020 using Japanese registry data. Multivariable analyses demonstrated faster neutrophil engraftment (hazard ratio [HR], 2.19; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.65 to 2.90; P < .001) and platelet engraftment (HR, 2.31; 95% CI, 1.72 to 3.10; P < 0001) in the MUD-PBSCT cohort compared with the haplo-PBSCT cohort. MUD-BMT was associated with a higher incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD than haplo-PBSCT (HR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.00 to 2.29; P = .048). Among patients without in vivo T cell depletion using antithymocyte globulin (ATG) (haplo-PBSCT, n = 136; MUD-BMT, n = 446; MUD-PBSCT, n = 65), MUD-PBSCT recipients experienced faster hematopoietic recovery, MUD-BMT recipients (HR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.02 to 2.32; P = .042) or MUD-PBSCT recipients (HR, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.06 to 3.18; P = .03) had a higher incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD, and MUD-PBSCT recipients developed chronic GVHD more frequently than haplo-PBSCT recipients (HR, 1.74; 95% CI, 1.04 to 2.89; P = .034). There were no significant differences in overall survival, disease-free survival, GVHD-free relapse-free survival, relapse, or nonrelapse mortality in the haplo-PBSCT cohort versus the MUD-BMT or MUD-PBSCT cohorts. In conclusion, despite differences in the incidences of hematopoietic engraftment and GVHD depending on graft type and ATG use in MUD transplant recipients, major transplantation outcomes were comparable between recipients of haplo-PBSCT using PTCy and recipients of MUD-BMT or MUD-PBSCT.

Abstract
Unrelated donor bone marrow transplantation (UR-BMT), unrelated donor cord blood stem cell transplantation (UR-CBT), and haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (Haplo-PBSCT) are the main alternative stem cell sources for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in Japan. The present study aimed to identify factors associated with the outcomes of UR-BMT, UR-CBT, and Haplo-PBSCT in older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and intermediate- or poor-risk cytogenetics to improve the clinical efficacy and safety of allogeneic HCT. We retrospectively analyzed data for 448 AML patients aged > 65 years who received UR-BMT (n = 102), UR-CBT (n = 250), or Haplo-PBSCT (n = 96) between 2014 and 2020. Overall survival (OS) in the UR-BMT group was superior (P = 0.033) to that in the other groups. However, all patients without complete remission (non-CR) who had Karnofsky performance status (KPS) < 80 at HCT and poor-risk cytogenetics died within 1 year after HCT. Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified KPS <80 at HCT and poor-risk cytogenetics as independent predictors of worse OS in non-CR patients. KPS < 80 may be an alternative indicator for non-CR AML patients with poor-risk cytogenetics during the selection of HCT, alternative treatments, or best supportive therapy, and the optimal KPS is important for the success of HCT.

Abstract
Although bone marrow transplantation is the recommended form of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for aplastic anemia, some patients undergo peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). Therefore, there is critical demand to identify factors affecting transplantation outcomes. Using the Japanese registry database, we retrospectively analyzed outcomes of 94 adult patients with aplastic anemia who underwent PBSCT from HLA-identical sibling donors. The cumulative incidence of neutrophil engraftment was 94% (95% confidence interval [CI] 86-97%), and was significantly higher in patients who received anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) in conditioning. The cumulative incidence rate was 26% (95% CI 17-35%) in grades II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and 20% (95% CI 13-29%) in extensive chronic GVHD, and tended to be lower in patients with chronic GVHD who received ATG-based conditioning. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 70% (95% CI 59-78%). In multivariate analysis, patient age < 40 years, shorter period from diagnosis to transplantation, better performance status, and ATG-based conditioning were significantly correlated with favorable OS. In conclusion, PBSCT from HLA-identical sibling donors for aplastic anemia would result in acceptable outcomes. Several risk factors identified in our study should be considered when selecting a stem cell source.

Abstract
Parvovirus B19 (PvB19) infection and PvB19 related pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) in recipients with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation have been reported sporadically. However, clinical studies with large sample sizes are lacking, especially in patients undergoing HLA-haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (haplo-PBSCT). In addition, clinical features, immune reconstitution, and outcomes of these patients are not clear. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 164 patients who received haplo-PBSCT with low-dose anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) plus low-dose posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy)-based regimen as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. We analyzed the incidence of PvB19 related PRCA and compared the clinical characteristics, immune reconstitution, incidence of GVHD, relapse rate, and survival between patients with and without PvB19 related PRCA. A total of 14 (8.5%) recipients developed PvB19 related PRCA after a median of 5.3 months after haplo-PBSCT. These patients with PvB19 related PRCA had slower immune reconstitution, but similar incidences of GVHD, relapse rate, and overall survival compared with recipients without PvB19 related PRCA. PvB19 related PRCA indicated relative delayed and poor immune reconstitution of the recipients early after haplo-PBSCT. PvB19 related PRCA had no effects on GVHD, relapse, and survival.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to determine the efficacy of dose-enhanced immunochemotherapy followed by autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in young patients with newly diagnosed high-risk aggressive B-cell lymphoma. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to examine the clinical and survival data of young patients with high-risk aggressive B-cell lymphoma who received dose-enhanced immunochemotherapy and ASCT as first-line treatment between January 2011 and December 2018 in Blood Diseases Hospital. Results: A total of 63 patients were included in the study. The median age range was 40 (14-63) years old. In terms of the induction therapy regimen, 52 cases received R-DA-EP (D) OCH, and the remaining 11 received R-HyperCVAD/R-MA. Sixteen (25.4% ) patients achieved partial response in the mid-term efficacy assessment, and ten of them were evaluated as complete response after transplantation. The median follow-up was 50 (8-112) months, and the 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate and overall survival (OS) rate were (83.9±4.7) % and (90.4±3.7) % , respectively. Univariate analysis demonstrated that age-adjusted international prognostic index ≥2 scores was a negative prognostic factor for OS (P=0.039) , and bone marrow involvement (BMI) was an adverse prognostic factor for OS (P<0.001) and PFS (P=0.001) . However, multivariate analysis confirmed that BMI was the only independent negative predictor of OS (P=0.016) and PFS (P=0.001) . Conclusions: The use of dose-enhanced immunochemotherapy in combination with ASCT as first-line therapy in the treatment of young, high-risk aggressive B-cell lymphoma results in good long-term outcomes, and BMI remains an adverse prognostic factor.

Abstract
Desquamative esophagitis (DE) is a rare benign condition characterized by sheet-like shedding of esophageal squamous epithelial tissue. Although cases of drug-induced DE, such as those induced by direct oral anticoagulants, have been reported, cases of DE complicated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are rare. We herein report the case of a 52-year-old woman with FLT3-ITD mutation-positive acute myeloid leukemia who presented with DE immediately after HSCT. Allogeneic peripheral blood HSCT with FBM (fludarabine 180 mg/m2, busulfan 12.8 mg/m2, and melphalan 80 mg/m2) was performed during the first remission. Tacrolimus plus short-term methotrexate was planned for graft-versus-host disease prevention. Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade 3 equivalent vomiting was observed during treatment with the conditioning regimen. On day 5 after HSCT, a white band of 10 cm in length and 1 cm in width was discharged from the oral cavity during vomiting. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed mucosal detachment in the entire esophagus and the diagnosis of DE was made. DE improved on providing conservative treatment. We concluded that the mechanical pressure that developed on the esophagus due to frequent vomiting contributed to the mucosal detachment owing to regimen-related toxicity. Even in the FBM regimen, which is widely used as a conditioning regimen, caution is required to prevent DE.

Abstract
Persistent thrombocytopenia (PT) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is associated with an increased risk of bleeding and poor survival. The exact pathogenesis underlying PT remains unclear, and its management is difficult. Here we conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of eltrombopag (EPAG) in 34 patients with PT after allo-HSCT. Seven patients suffered from prolonged isolated thrombocytopenia (PIT), and 27 had secondary failure of platelet recovery (SFPR). For most patients, the initial dose was 25 mg or 50 mg daily, then adjusted to the maximum dose of 50-100 mg per day according to the response of platelet recovery and toleration of patients. The cumulative incidence (CI) of platelet recovery to at least 20 × 109/L and 50 × 109/L without transfusion support for at least 7 days was 72.1% and 60.7%, respectively. Nineteen (86.4%) of 22 responders were able to taper off the medication; furthermore, the platelet counts remained stable 1 month after withdrawal of EPAG. Although two patients discontinued EPAG during treatment due to headache and nausea, no patients developed grade 3 or 4 toxicities. Hypoplasia of bone marrow and decreased megakaryocytes (MKs) were found to be risk factors for overall response (OR) and complete response (CR) in multivariate analysis, respectively. Overall, our results indicated that EPAG can be used in the treatment of PT and that continuous exposure to EPAG may not be necessary.

Abstract
Peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) with in vivo lymphodepletion can provide faster neutrophil recovery with limited risk of severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in children with nonmalignant disorders (NMDs). We aimed to provide an historical comparison of these 2 strategies regarding the prevalence of GVHD, viral reactivation, timing of immune reconstitution, and final outcomes. Data on 98 children undergoing PBSCT were collected from 5 European pediatric transplantation centers. Only patients with NMDs receiving treosulfan or myeloablative busulfan conditioning and 9-10/10 HLA-matched transplant were included. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to in vivo lymphodepletion with antithymocyte globulin (ATG) or with alemtuzumab. We compared rates of acute and chronic GVHD; Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, and adenovirus reactivation; chimerism; lymphocyte recovery; overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) between the 2 groups. The rate of severe acute GVHD (grade III-IV) was significantly higher in patients receiving ATG (26% vs 10% in alemtuzumab recipients; P < .05), whereas viral reactivations occurred with a similar rate in the 2 groups (alemtuzumab, 56%; ATG, 57%). Alemtuzumab was the major risk factor for delayed T cell immune reconstitution in the first 3 months after transplantation (odds ratio [OR], 6.0; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.8 to 19; P < .005). Extended chronic GVHD, ADV reactivation, slower CD3+ cell recovery, and HLA-mismatch reduced the probability of survival. Infections were the main cause of mortality in our cohort, and delayed T cell recovery was significantly associated with mortality in multivariate analysis (OR, 12; 95% CI, 1.2 to 114; P < .05). Ultimately, no differences in OS and EFS survival were seen between the ATG and alemtuzumab groups. ATG and alemtuzumab showed similar impacts on outcomes of children undergoing PBSCT for NMDs. The 2 strategies of in vivo lymphodepletion showed specific drawbacks that were counterbalanced by benefits that ultimately led to a comparable survival rate. A patient-centered lymphodepletion strategy can be advised in children undergoing PBSCT for NMDs, by favoring T cell recovery in the presence of invasive infection or GVHD prevention in high-risk mismatched donor transplantation.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the relationship between the reconstitution of immune cells in patients with hematological malignancies and the occurrence of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) after treatment with unrelated cord blood transplantation (UCBT) and sibling peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) . Methods: A total of 124 patients undergoing allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China from March 2018 to August 2019, including 96 patients with UCBT and 28 patients with PBSCT. Peripheral blood immune cells of patients with UCBT and PBSCT were detected at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after transplantation using flow cytometry, and both UCBT and PBSCT patients were divided into cGVHD and non-cGVHD groups based on whether cGVHD occurred to explore the correlation between the immune cells reconstitution of the two types of transplantation and cGVHD. Results: ①The cumulative incidence of the moderate to severe cGVHD in the UCBT group was significantly lower than that in the PBSCT group[9.38% (95% CI 3.35%-15.02%) vs 28.57% (95% CI 9.72%-43.50%) , P=0.008]; the 2-year cumulative incidence of cGVHD and moderate to severe cGVHD in the UCBT group was lower than that in the PBSCT group[15.60% (95% CI 9.20%-23.60%) vs 32.10% (95% CI 15.80%-49.70%) , P=0.047; 10.40% (95% CI 5.30%-17.50%) vs 28.60% (95% CI 13.30%-46.00%) , P=0.014]. ②The absolute counts of CD4(+)T cells in the UCBT group were higher than those in the PBSCT group at 6, 9, and 12 months after transplantation[59.00 (36.70-89.65) ×10(7)/L vs 31.40 (18.10-44.00) ×10(7)/L, P<0.001; 71.30 (49.60-101.45) ×10(7)/L vs 41.60 (25.82-56.27) ×10(7)/L, P<0.001; 83.00 (50.17-121.55) ×10(7)/L vs 44.85 (31.62-62.10) ×10(7)/L, P<0.001]; the proportions of CD4(+)T cells in the UCBT group were always higher than those in the PBSCT group (P<0.05) . The absolute counts and proportions of B cells in the PBSCT group were higher than those in the UCBT group at the first month after transplantation[0.70 (0.30-1.70) ×10(7)/L vs 0.10 (0-0.30) ×10(7)/L, P<0.001; 0.45% (0.30%-2.20%) vs 0.20% (0.10%-0.40%) , P=0.002]; the absolute counts and proportions of B cells in the UCBT group were higher than those in the PBSCT group at 9 and 12 months after transplantation[53.80 (28.00-103.20) ×10(7)/L vs 23.35 (5.07-35.00) ×10(7)/L, P<0.001; 21.45 (11.80-30.45) % vs 9.00% (3.08%-16.73%) , P<0.001. 66.70 (36.97-98.72) ×10(7)/L vs 20.85 (7.72-39.40) ×10(7)/L, P<0.001; 22.20% (14.93%-29.68%) vs 8.75% (5.80%-18.93%) , P<0.001]. The absolute counts and proportions of regulatory B (Breg) cells in the UCBT group were higher than those in the PBSCT group at 6, 9, and 12 months after transplantation[1.23 (0.38-3.52) ×10(7)/L vs 0.05 (0-0.84) ×10(7)/L, P<0.001; 5.35% (1.90%-12.20%) vs 1.45% (0-7.78%) , P=0.002. 2.25 (1.07-6.71) ×10(7)/L vs 0.12 (0-0.77) ×10(7)/L, P<0.001; 6.25% (2.00%-12.33%) vs 0.80% (0-5.25%) , P<0.001. 3.69 (0.83-8.66) ×10(7)/L vs 0.46 (0-0.93) ×10(7)/L, P<0.001; 6.15% (1.63%-11.75%) vs 1.40% (0.18%-5.85%) , P<0.001].The absolute counts and proportions of CD3(+)T cells, CD8(+)T cells, and Treg cells in the UCBT group were not significantly different from those in the PBSCT group. ③The absolute counts of B cells in the non-cGVHD group of UCBT patients were higher than those in the moderate to severe cGVHD group at 6 and 12 months after transplantation (P=0.038, P=0.043) ; the proportions of B cells in the non-cGVHD group were higher than those in the moderate to severe cGVHD group at 6 months after transplantation (P=0.049) . The absolute counts of Breg cells in the non-cGVHD group of patients with UCBT were higher than those in the moderate to severe cGVHD group at 6, 9, and 12 months after transplantation (P=0.006, P=0.028, P=0.050) ; the proportions of Breg cells in the non-cGVHD group were higher than those in the moderate to severe cGVHD group at 9 months after transplantation (P=0.038) . ④The absolute counts and proportions of B and Breg cells in the non-cGVHD group of patients with PBSCT were not statistically different than those in the moderate to severe cGVHD group. Conclusion: In the process of immune cell reconstitution, the Breg cells in the UCBT group were higher than those in the PBSCT group, and the Breg cells in the non-cGVHD group of the two types of transplantation were always higher than those in the moderate to severe cGVHD group, indicating that Breg cells can reduce the occurrence of cGVHD, revealing the possible reason for the lower incidence of cGVHD in the UCBT group.

Abstract
Adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is a highly aggressive hematologic malignancy with a very poor prognosis, and most patients with ATL are elderly. Although post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has yielded promising results in various diseases, available data are limited regarding its outcomes in ATL. The aim of this study was to determine the safety and efficacy of reduced-intensity peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) from a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-haploidentical donor using PTCy as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. This was a prospective, multicenter phase I/II study (UMIN000021783) conducted at 16 hospitals in Japan. The primary endpoint was the probability of survival with engraftment and without grade III/IV acute GVHD at day 60 after PBSCT. The expected probability of the primary endpoint was estimated to be 60%, and the threshold probability was set at 30% on the basis of previous studies. The conditioning regimen consisted of fludarabine (30 mg/m2/d from day -7 to -2), melphalan (40 mg/m2/d on days -3 and -2), and total body irradiation (2 Gy on day -1). GVHD prophylaxis consisted of tacrolimus starting at 0.02 mg/kg/d on day -1, PTCy (50 mg/kg/d on days +3 and +5), and mycophenolate mofetil 2000 mg/d starting on day +6. Eighteen ATL patients underwent PBSCT. The probability of patients who met the primary endpoint was 89% (95% confidence interval, 65% to 99%). The cumulative incidences of grade II to IV acute GVHD, III/IV acute GVHD, and moderate-to-severe chronic GVHD were 39%, 11%, and 17%, respectively. The probabilities of overall survival were 83% at 1 year and 73% at 2 years. The cumulative incidences of non-relapse mortality and disease progression at 1 year were 11% and 28%, respectively. HLA-haploidentical PBSCT with PTCy as GVHD prophylaxis is a valid option for patients with aggressive ATL.

Abstract
During the COVID-19 pandemic, donor hematopoietic stem cell grafts are frequently cryopreserved to ensure the availability of graft before starting a conditioning regimen. However, the safety of cryopreservation has been controversial in unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), especially for bone marrow (BM) grafts. In addition, in unrelated HSCT, the effect of the time from harvest to cryopreservation of donor grafts required for the transportation of donor graft has not been fully clarified. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the first 112 patients with available data who underwent cryopreserved unrelated blood and marrow transplantation through the Japan Marrow Donor Program during the COVID-19 pandemic. There were 112 patients, including 83 who received BM grafts and 29 who received peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) grafts. The median time from stem cell harvest to cryopreservation was 9.9 hours (range, 2.6 to 44.0 hours), and the median time from cryopreservation to infusion was 231.2 hours. The incidence of neutrophil engraftment at day 28 after HSCT was 91.1%, and among 109 patients (excluding 3 patients with early death), all but 1 patient achieved neutrophil engraftment within 60 days after HSCT. The time to neutrophil engraftment and time to platelet engraftment were shorter in PBSC transplantation compared with BM transplantation (BMT), but the differences were not statistically significant (P = .064 and .18). Multivariate analysis among BM recipients revealed that a higher number of frozen nucleated cells and the absence of HLA mismatch were associated with faster neutrophil engraftment. The time to neutrophil engraftment after unrelated cryopreserved BMT was not different from that after unrelated BMT without cryopreservation. Our findings suggest that unrelated donor BM and PBSC grafts can be safely cryopreserved even after transit from the harvest center to the transplantation center. In the current COVID-19 pandemic, cryopreservation can be considered as an option while balancing the risks and benefits of the procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The understanding regarding genetic variation, pathophysiology, and complications associated with pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD) in red blood cells has been explained largely, and supportive treatment is currently the main management strategy. Etiotropic managements, including transplantation and genome editing, supplying for substitute dugs of the pyruvate kinase, are all under research.
CASE SUMMARY We herein report a 3-year-old boy with severe transfusion-dependent PKD cured by unrelated identical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). Hemoglobin was corrected to a normal level by gene correction after PBSCT, with no complication related to the transplantation.
CONCLUSION Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation could be a substitute for transfusion-dependent PKD.

Abstract
Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a serious bone marrow failure disorder that is often cured with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The absence of a matched related donor is common, however, and thus novel approaches are needed to safely expand the donor pool to include alternative donors, especially haploidentical related donors, for patients with SAA. This study aimed to explore a novel approach to HSCT for patients with SAA without an available HLA-identical sibling or a matched unrelated donor, termed haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (haplo-PBSCT), using a conditioning regimen comprising cyclophosphamide, busulfan, and fludarabine (CBF) and a graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis regimen with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy), low-dose methotrexate (LD-MTX), and calcineurin inhibitors. This prospectively designed nonrandomized study included 29 patients with SAA who underwent haplo-PBSCT between November 2017 and May 2020. The median patient age was 17 years (range, 14 to 30 years), and the median time to neutrophil recovery was 13 days (range, 13 to 15 days). There was 1 primary graft failure (GF) in the group receiving PTCy at a dose of 50 mg/kg and no GFs in the group receiving PTCy at a dose of 100 mg/kg. The median duration of follow-up was 736 days (95% confidence interval, 512 to 879 days). The estimated 1-year overall survival and disease-free survival were 91.7 ± 5.7% and 89.7 ± 5.7%, respectively. Only 1 of the 27 patients developed grade II acute GVHD. Four patients developed limited and mild chronic GVHD, involving only the skin or/and oral mucosa. Haplo-PBSCT following CBF and followed by PTCy and LD-MTX represents a novel approach for safely expanding the donor pool to include alternative donors for young patients with SAA.

Abstract
Bladder tamponade due to hemorrhagic cystitis caused by BK virus in immunocompetent patients is familiar to urologists. BK virus is an important cause of nephropathy and graft loss in kidney transplant recipients. Although urothelial carcinoma of the bladder in kidney transplant recipients with persistent BK viruria is known, BK virus-associated urothelial carcinoma (BKVUC) in peripheral blood stem cell transplantation recipients is not as well known. A 54-year-old man with acute lymphoblastic leukemia was treated in the Department of Hematology of our hospital. After recurrence 25 months later, he received chemotherapy for half a year and underwent peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. He achieved temporarily complete remission, but he developed hematuria with BK virus-positive result 1 month after peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. One month later, he developed bladder tamponade-diagnosed hemorrhagic cystitis due to BK virus in our Urological Department. We performed transurethral coagulation to manage hemorrhage and removed a bleeding lesion in the bladder wall. Pathological examination of the removed bladder wall revealed pT1 stage BKVUC. We found that bladder tamponade could have led to reactivation of BK virus in this immunocompetent patient. This could be the first report of BKVUC of the bladder found in a peripheral blood stem cell transplantation recipient with close urological follow-up for 24 months. Adequate removal of bleeding lesions from the bladder mucosa with appropriate timing during hemorrhagic cystitis due to BKVUC could be essential to achieve good outcomes.

Abstract
Antithymocyte globulin (ATG) reduces severe acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). However, risk factors for severe acute GVHD in PBSCT using ATG remain to be determined. We conducted a single-center, retrospective study to analyze the association of acute GVHD requiring systemic corticosteroid (SC-aGVHD) with absolute lymphocyte counts (ALC) before the administration of ATG or conditioning in 53 patients with HLA-matched PBSCT using low-dose thymoglobulin (2 mg/kg) after myeloablative conditioning. The cumulative incidence of SC-aGVHD was 17.0% and ALC before ATG were significantly higher in patients with SC-aGVHD compared to that in patients without it (median, 0.15 × 109/L vs 0.06 × 109/L, P = 0.047). The cumulative incidence of SC-aGVHD was significantly higher in patients with high ALC before ATG (≥ 0.15 × 109/L) than in those with low ALC (38.5% vs 10.0%, P = 0.016). Non-relapse mortality (NRM) was also significantly higher in the high ALC before ATG group than the low ALC before ATG group (2-year NRM: 23.9% vs 6.0%, P = 0.048), leading to worse survival (2-year overall survival: 69.2% vs 83.5%, P = 0.039). Our study suggested that high ALC before ATG is a risk factor for SC-aGVHD.

Abstract
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is used as a cryoprotectant for peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) preservation. Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is a metabolite of DMSO secreted through patients' breath after PBSC infusion. It possesses malodor causing an unpleasant environment. We evaluated the efficacy of a photocatalyst environment purifier, which has the potential to lyse toxic substances, in reducing DMS malodor. High DMS concentration in the air after PBSC infusion rapidly decreased after operating the device. Our results suggest that photocatalytic reaction has the potential to reduce the DMS odor associated with PBSC infusion.

Abstract
Relapse is a major concern with reduced-intensity conditioning. We analyzed 257 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who received allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) and fulfilled the following criteria: intermediate- or poor-risk disease by National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines (2017, version 3), in first complete remission (CR1) at SCT, received either myeloablative conditioning (MAC; busulfan plus cyclophosphamide or cyclophosphamide plus total body irradiation) or reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC; FluBu2TBI400) peripheral blood SCT from 8/8 matched sibling or unrelated donor, and having bone marrow Wilms tumor gene 1 (WT1) expression results before transplant. We and other groups serially published a predictive value for pretransplant WT1 expression in patients with AML to identify patients at higher risk of relapse. Among the total 257 patients, 191 (74.3%) and 66 (25.7%) patients received MAC and RIC transplants, respectively. WT1 ≥250 copies/104ABL was defined as WT1high. WT1high before SCT was found to be an independent prognostic factor for inferior overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and higher cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR). There were 201 patients with WT1 low expression based upon pretransplant analysis. There was no significant difference in OS, DFS, CIR, and nonrelapse mortality between MAC and RIC patients. To conclude, post-transplant survival or relapse was not different by conditioning intensity in AML CR1 patients whose WT1 level was below 250 copies per 104ABL at transplantation.

Abstract
To evaluate whether cytoreductive therapy is needed for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) patients with excess blasts type 2 (MDS-EB2) and acute myeloid leukemia derived from MDS (MDS-AML) before HLA-matched sibling donor peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (MSD-PBSCT), we retrospectively analyzed 80 cases of MDS-EB2 and MDS-AML patients who received MSD-PBSCT between February 2006 and December 2019 in our hospital. The 3-years overall survival (OS) rate and disease-free survival (DFS) rate were (59.1±5.8)% and (52.5±5.7)%, respectively. The 3-years non-relapse mortality (NRM) rate and relapse rate (RR) were (22.4±0.2)% and (25.4±0.2)%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that, hematopoietic cell transplantation comorbidity index (HCT-CI) ≥ 2, poor/very poor karyotype and occurrence of grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) are risk factors for OS. Patients received pre-transplant cytoreductive therapy (PCT) and obtained complete remission (CR) had significantly higher OS rate than those who failed to achieve CR (non-CR group) and those who did not receive PCT (non-PCT group) [(80.0±8.3)% versus (38.1±10.6)% versus (56.1±9.3)%, P=0.010]. PCT significantly increased the OS rate [(62.2±10.0)% versus (20.0±17.9)%, P=0.013] for MDS-AML patients but not for MDS-EB2 patients [(59.2±11.1)% versus (62.9±10.1)%, P=0.991]. Our findings suggest reducing tumor burden by cytoreductive therapy to obtain CR before transplant improves OS. For MDS-AML patients, PCT is beneficial, while for MDS-EB2 patients, PCT is not necessary.

Abstract
The dose of CD34+ cells is known to influence the outcome of allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) and/or T-cell-depleted transplantation. A previous study proposed that 2×106 CD34+ cells/kg is the ideal minimum dose for allogeneic transplantation, although lower doses did not preclude successful therapy. In the case we present here, CD34+ cells were collected from a matched sibling donor on the day of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; however, the number of cells was not sufficient for transplantation. Consequently, PBSCs were collected three additional times and were infused along with cord blood cells from the donor that were cryopreserved at birth. The cumulative dose of total nuclear cells and CD34+ cells was 15.9×108 cells/kg and 0.95×106 cells/kg, respectively. White blood cells from this patient were engrafted on day 12. In summary, we report successful engraftment after infusion of multiple low doses of CD34+ cells in a patient with severe aplastic anemia.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate time-varying effects of graft type on outcomes for patients with acute myeloid leukemia undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant. For this purpose we analyzed 3952 patients, 720 of whom underwent matched related bone marrow transplantation (BMT), 1004 matched related peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT), 856 matched unrelated BMT, and 1372 umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) during complete remission. The 4-year relapse-free survival (RFS) rates were 59.1%, 52.8%, 59.5%, and 50.6%, respectively. Compared with related BMT, related PBSCT, unrelated BMT, and UCBT were associated with higher risk of nonrelapse mortality and unrelated BMT and UCBT with lower risk of relapse. As a result, both RFS and overall survival were comparable between related BMT and unrelated BMT but were worse for related PBSCT and UCBT than for related BMT. Adverse impact of UCBT was observed only during the early phase of transplant, whereas that of related PBSCT continued even after 2 years post-transplant. Our findings raise concerns about the increased risk of late nonrelapse mortality with the use of PBSC grafts and suggest that related BMT is preferable to related PBSCT; matched unrelated BMT is the next choice in the absence of a matched related donor.

Abstract
Peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) is being increasingly performed as an alternative to bone marrow transplantation (BMT); however, PBSCT has not been proven to have equivalent outcome to BMT. We conducted a meta-analysis to compare survival rates and treatment-related complications between PBSCT and BMT for pediatric hematologic malignancies. We searched Medline, Embase plus Embase classics, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for the terms "hematopoietic stem cell transplantation" AND "allogeneic transplantation" AND "children", including randomized controlled studies and cohort studies without language limitations. We identified 7 of 5368 studies for inclusion in our meta-analysis. The cohorts of these studies included a total of 4328 patients, 3185 who underwent BMT and 1143 who underwent PBSCT. Five-year overall survival was similar in the 2 groups (PBSCT, 56.2%; BMT, 63.5%; relative risk [RR], 1.17; 95% confidence interval [CI], .91 to 1.52), as was the 5-year event-free survival (PBSCT, 49.9%; BMT, 57.2%; RR, 1.14; 95% CI, .93 to 1.39). The incidences of nonrelapse mortality and chronic graft-versus-host disease were higher in the PBSCT group compared with the BMT group (RR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.50 to 1.99 versus RR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.18 to 2.03). This meta-analysis found insufficient evidence to conclude that peripheral blood stem cells are equivalent to bone marrow. The results indicate that bone marrow can still be a preferred donor source for pediatric hematologic malignancies.

Abstract
As an inherited anemia, thalassemia major (TM) is currently only curable with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Here we report an allo-HSCT protocol for patients with TM who received a combination of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-primed bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cells (G-BM & PBSCs) from a matched sibling donor (MSD). The conditioning regimen consisted of i.v. busulfan, cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, and antithymocyte globulin. Chimerism analysis was performed for all patients. Immunosuppressive treatment was terminated if rejection was suspected, and donor lymphocyte infusion was administered once no response was observed. A total of 184 patients with TM were enrolled in the study between July 2007 and July 2018. The cumulative incidence of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was 13.1%, and that of moderate or severe chronic GVHD was 5.7%. The cumulative incidence of graft rejection was .6%. In the total cohort, the 3-year overall survival, thalassemia-free survival, and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival were 97.8%, 97.3%, and 89.5%, respectively. Collectively, our results indicate that G-BM & PBSCs from an MSD is be a good stem cell source for patients with TM undergoing allo-HSCT.

Abstract
Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) co-expressing NUP98/NSD1 and FLT3/ITD have a dismal prognosis despite undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). There are a few studies on successful treatment of relapsed AML co-expressing NUP98/NSD1 and FLT3/ITD. We report a refractory case of molecular relapse of AML co-expressing NUP98/NSD1 and FLT3/ITD post-matched sibling HSCT. Donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) at an early stage of post-transplantation resulted in complete molecular remission for 29 months with durable chronic graft-versus-host disease. Our case suggests the clinical efficacy of preemptive DLI following minimal residual disease analysis for the treatment of refractory AML.

Abstract
In Japan, use of unrelated peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (uPBSCT) from HLA-mismatched unrelated donors has recently been approved. We compared outcomes between HLA-matched and 1-locus mismatched uPBSCT, as well as the impact of HLA disparity in uPBSCT and in unrelated bone marrow transplantation (uBMT). In total, 5862 uBMT recipients and 234 uPBSCT recipients were included. In terms of HLA allele disparity, 185 uPBSCT patients (79.1%) had no HLA mismatch, and 49 (20.9%) had 1-locus mismatch; in comparison, 3585 uBMT patients (61.2%) had no HLA mismatch, and 2277 (38.8%) had 1-locus mismatch. The impact of 1-locus mismatch as compared with match in uPBSCT was not significantly higher than in uBMT [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.02 and 1.27 for grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease, HR = 0.98 and 1.14 for non-relapse mortality, and HR = 0.87 and 1.06 for overall survival, respectively]. In conclusion, the impact of single-locus mismatch on short-term outcomes was comparable in uPBSCT and uBMT. Larger studies with longer follow-up are needed to assess long-term outcomes.

Abstract
Six patients with POEMS syndrome who received autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (auto-PBSCT) were retrospectively analyzed. Conditioning regimen was high dose melphalan. Peripheral blood stem cells were collected after mobilization with cyclophosphamide (CTX) and growth factors. One patient presenting hydrothorax and ascites was treated with 3 cycles of lenalidomide and dexamethasone before mobilization. Auto-PBSCT was fairly tolerable. Hematopoietic reconstitution was successful in all patients without transplantation-related mortality. A decrease or normalization of serum vascular epithelial growth factor (VEGF) was observed in all patients at 3 months after transplantation. The neurological remission was seen in 5/6 patients.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the efficacy of unrelated cord blood transplantation (UCBT) and HLA-identical sibling peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) for the treatment of adult hematological malignancies. Methods: From April 2011 to December 2015, a total of 81 patients receiving single-unit UCBT and 57 patients receiving HLA-identical sibling PBSCT were enrolled in this study. All of the patients received myelablative conditioning. Cyclosporine combined with mycophenolate mofetil was adopted for GVHD prophylaxis. Results: The cumulative incidence of neutropil engraftment at day-42 was 95.0% and 100% in UCBT and sibling PBSCT groups, respectively (P=0.863) . Platelet engraftment at day 100 was 87.3% (95%CI 76.8%-93.1%) in UCBT group, which was significantly lower than that of sibling PBSCT group[98.2% (95%CI 87.3%-99.7%) ] (P=0.005) . There were no significant differences in terms of Ⅱ-Ⅳ acute GVHD or Ⅲ-Ⅳ acute GVHD in two groups (P=0.142, 0.521) . The 3-year chronic GVHD and extensive chronic GVHD were 14.9% (95%CI 5.2%-23.5%) and 11.2% (95%CI 2.9%-18.7%) , respectively in UCBT group, which was significantly lower than that of sibling PBSCT group[35.2% (95%CI 19.4%-47.8%) , 31.4% (95%CI 16.2%-43.9%) ] (P=0.008, 0.009) . The 3-year transplant-related mortality (TRM) was similar between two groups (30.1% vs 23.2%, P=0.464) . The relapse rate at 3-year in UCBT group[12.9% (95%CI 6.6%-21.5%) ]was significantly lower than that in sibling PBSCT group[24.3% (95%CI 13.5%-36.8%) ] (P=0.039) . There were no significant differences in terms of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) between two groups (58.6% vs 54.8%, P=0.634; 57.0% vs 52.4%, P=0.563) . But GVHD-free and relapse-free survival (GRFS) in UCBT group [55.7% (95%CI 44.1%-65.8%) ]was significantly higher than that of sibling PBSCT group[42.9% (95%CI 29.8%-55.3%) ] (P=0.047) . Conclusions: For adult hematological malignancies, the incidences of acute GVHD and TRM were similar between UCBT and sibling PBSCT recipients, and the incidences of chronic GVHD and relapse were lower in UCBT recipients. UCBT recipients had higher GRFS rate although OS and DFS were similar between two groups, which may reflect the real recovery and better quality of life following UCBT.

Abstract
The clinical significance of extramedullary relapse (EMR) of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains poorly defined. Here we report the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent allo-HSCT for AML at our institution between 2000 and 2012. A total of 293 patients with AML who underwent allo-HSCT were included. The median duration of follow-up in survivors was 1840 days. Disease status at the time of allo-HSCT was complete remission in 192 patients and nonremission in 101 patients. A total of 110 patients experienced AML relapse after allo-HSCT, including 18 with EMR only, 83 with bone marrow relapse (BMR) only, and 9 with both EMR and BMR. The 5-year cumulative incidence of EMR after allo-HSCT was 9.5%, whereas that of BMR only was 28.9%. In multivariate analysis, peripheral blood stem cell transplantation was associated with an increased risk of EMR. The 2-year overall survival after post-transplantation relapse was 7.5% in patients with BMR only, 11.1% in those with both EMR and BMR, and 27.5% in those with EMR only (P < .05). Although the short-term survival was better in patients with EMR only, they rarely achieved long-term survival. Appropriate strategies for both post-transplantation EMR and BMR are needed.

Abstract
In other countries, unrelated donor peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) is more prevalent than bone marrow transplantation; however, in Japan, it was introduced in 2010 after confirming the safety of donors. PBSCT does not require blood donation, general anesthesia, or frequent bone marrow aspiration of the donor. After PBSCT, numerous hematopoietic cells can prompt blood recovery and engraftment, which has enabled reduced intensity transplantation in elderly patients and patients with concurrent diseases, such as infection. In addition, GVL effect by a large number of donor lymphocytes is expected, however, chronic GVHD is a major concern. When introducing PBSCT in Japan, manuals were drafted considering the short-term safety of donors, and data were collected on the occurrence of long- and short-term adverse events. A randomized trial reported no difference in the survival rate between bone marrow transplantation and PBSCT at 5 years; however, it revealed that QOL was better in the former. PB is a essential transplant source option, and attempts are being made to overcome chronic GVHD. PBSC contains abundant stem cells, progenitor cells, and immunocompetent cells and is indispensable for the development of cell therapy for blood diseases in the future.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) causes many complications such as anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and mucositis. Most patients undergoing HSCT have risk for malnutrition in the process of transplantation so artificial nutrition support is required. The purpose of this case report is to share our experience of applying nutrition intervention during the transplantation period. According to HSCT process, the change of the patient's gastrointestinal symptoms, oral intake and nutritional status was recorded. By encouraging oral intake and providing parenteral nutrition, the patient had only 0.3%, losing weight during the transplantation period. In conclusion, it emphasized that the nutritional status changes during the HSCT period should be closely monitored and nutritional management through appropriate nutritional support and interventions in hospital and after discharge.

Abstract
We performed a phase 1/2 trial to investigate the safety and activity of the second-generation proteasome inhibitor Carfilzomib (K) on days -3/-2 in combination with melphalan 200 mg/m2 (MEL200) on day -2 (K-MEL) in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma (MM) undergoing autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (phases 1 and 2). Patients without progression received 12 cycles of K maintenance at 36 mg/m2 days 1, 8, and 15 (schedule A) or days 1, 2, 15, and 16 (schedule B), with patients being treated for 2 cycles in each schedule and on the patient-preferred schedule for the remaining cycles (phase 2). The patients had received a median of 3 previous lines of therapy, 56% had undergone previous AHCT, and 51% had received previous K therapy. During phase 1 (n = 15), the maximum tolerated dose of K in combination with MEL200 was not reached, so the maximum tested dose of 27 mg/m2 (on day -3) and 56 mg/m2 (on day -2) was used in phase 2. The rate of very good partial response after K-MEL therapy (n = 44) was 59.2%, compared with 13.7% before K-MEL therapy. Among patients starting maintenance therapy (n = 27), 12-month progression-free survival was 66.7% and 12-month overall survival was 88.1%. There was no strong patient preference for either schedule. Two patients discontinued maintenance due to toxicity. K-MEL followed by K maintenance is safe and active salvage therapy in patients with MM.

Abstract
Although the CD34+ cell dose in allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) is considered to be associated with transplantation outcomes, a lower acceptable threshold has not been defined. We retrospectively analyzed 2919 adult patients with hematologic malignancies who underwent related PBSCT in Japan between 2001 and 2014. According to the number of CD34+ cells in the graft, we categorized 2494 patients in the standard group (2 to 5 × 106 cells/kg), 377 patient in the low group (1 to 2 × 106 cells/kg), and 48 patients in the very low group (<1 × 106 cells/kg). Compared with the standard group, the low and very low groups showed delayed neutrophil recovery (93.8%, 89.5%, and 78.3%, respectively at day +28; P < .001) and platelet recovery (69.3%, 53.0%, and 45.5%, respectively at day +28; P < .001). The 2-year overall survival (OS) in the 3 groups was 45.5%, 45.3%, and 29.8%, respectively, with inferior survival in the very low group. However, a higher percentage of high-risk patients may account for the inferior survival in the very low group, and no significant difference in OS was found in a multivariate analysis. There were no differences in relapse, nonrelapse mortality, or the development of graft-versus-host disease among the 3 groups. In conclusion, allogeneic PBSCT with low CD34+ cell doses of 1 to 2 × 106 cells/kg gives acceptable results, whereas further investigations are needed to evaluate the effects of lower doses of <1 × 106 cells/kg owing to the smaller number and the higher percentage of patients with adverse prognostic factors in this cohort.

Abstract
Pulmonary vein leiomyosarcoma is extremely rare and has a poor prognosis. Surgical resection with a wide margin seems to offer the only chance of cure. The role of adjuvant therapy is controversial, and the exact efficacy of chemotherapy has not been observed. In this report, we present an 18-year-old male patient with pulmonary vein leiomyosarcoma in whom the use of paclitaxel (PAX) proved to be effective. Because the tumor originated from the left superior pulmonary vein and diffused into the left atrial wall and the junction of the right superior pulmonary vein and left atrium, the en bloc excision of the tumor was impossible. The first-line chemotherapy, including ifosfamide, doxorubicin, and dacarbazine, in conjugation with radiation therapy could not demonstrate any effect on the tumor size. However, the following PAX-containing regimen provided complete regression of the tumor. After PAX-based high-dose chemotherapy with autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation, the patient showed complete remission for 2 years. Although he suffered metastatic recurrences and died 4 years after the onset of symptoms, our patient's clinical course clearly reveals the efficacy of PAX.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND Noninfection-related fever can occur after peripheral blood stem cell infusion in haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with post-transplant cyclophosphamide. The objective of this study was to analyze the incidence of fever and characterize some clinical features of affected patients. METHODS A retrospective case-series study with 40 patients who received haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was carried out. RESULTS Thirty-three patients (82.5%) developed fever; no baseline characteristic was associated with its development. Median time to fever onset was 25.5h (range, 9.5-100h) and median peak temperature was 39.0°C (range, 38.1-40.5°C). Not a single patient developed hemodynamic or respiratory compromise that required admission to the intensive care unit. Fever was not explained by infection in any case. Ninety-one percent of the febrile episodes resolved within 96h of cyclophosphamide administration. No significant difference in overall survival, event-free survival, or graft versus host disease-free/relapse-free survival was found in the group of febrile individuals after peripheral blood stem cell infusion. CONCLUSION Fever after peripheral blood stem cell infusion in this clinical setting was common; it usually subsides with cyclophosphamide administration. The development of fever was not associated with an adverse prognosis.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the effect of intravenous infusion of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (mPBMC) mobilized by granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) on upper extremity function in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Methods Fifty-seven children with CP were enrolled. Ten patients were excluded due to follow-up loss. In total, 47 patients (30 males and 17 females) were analyzed. All patients' parents provided signed consent before the start of the study. After administration of G-CSF for 5 days, mPBMC was collected and cryopreserved. Patients were randomized into two groups 1 month later. Twenty-two patients were administered mPBMC and 25 patients received normal saline as placebo. Six months later, the two groups were switched, and administered mPBMC and placebo, respectively. Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST) and the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) were used to evaluate upper motor function. Results All subdomain and total scores of QUEST were significantly improved after mPBMC and placebo infusion, without significant differences between mPBMC and placebo groups. A month after G-CSF, all subdomain and total scores of QUEST were improved. The level of MACS remained unchanged in both mPBMC and placebo groups. Conclusion In this study, intravenously infused mPBMC showed no significant effect on upper extremity function in children with CP, as compared to placebo. The effect of mPBMC was likely masked by the effect of G-CSF, which was used in both groups and/or G-CSF itself might have other neurotrophic potentials in children with CP.

Abstract
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is diagnosed based on neuroradiological findings. Typically, PRES is reversible and presents with a good outcome; however, fatal outcomes have been reported. We report an autopsied case showing PRES-like neuroradiological findings associated with premedication including tacrolimus for autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in a 28-year-old woman with a 2-year history of acute myeloid sarcoma/acute myeloid leukemia. Neurological examination revealed disturbed consciousness, muscle weakness in all extremities, and bilaterally diminished tendon reflexes. Brain fluid attenuated inversion recovery MRI showed multiple bilateral hyper-intensity areas in the posterior white matter and left corona radiate. She died of respiratory arrest within 24h after PRES diagnosis. Neuropathological examination revealed diffuse cerebral edema, multiple cerebral hematomas that extended into the lateral ventricles and subarachnoid cavities, and multiple microbleeds predominantly in the inferior surface of the occipital white matter. Microscopic findings revealed paler myelin sheaths, enlargement of the vascular endothelium, leakage of plasma components and red blood cells, and clasmatodendrosis within the occipital white matter. Cerebral herniation and diffuse cerebral edema due to vascular endothelial dysfunction were concluded to be the cause of death. These pathological findings may aid in the pathophysiological recognition of acute-stage PRES.

Abstract
Background The hematopoietic stem cell bank has been actively recruiting registrants since 1994. This study systematically reviews its operations and outcomes over the last 20 years. Methods Retrospective data on a total of 47,711 registrants were reviewed. Relevant data were processed using PASW Statistics for Windows, version 18.0. Results As of 2013, the Korean Network for Organ Sharing database contained 265,307 registrants. Of these, 49,037 (18%) registrants committed to hematopoietic cell donation from 1994 to 2013. Fifty-seven percent of the registrants were men, and 43% were women. The reasons for opting out of the registry included refusal to donate (70%), family refusal (28%), and others (2%). The donation willingness of registrants was significantly higher than those who refused to receive a mail to confirm their continued enrollment (χ2=6.103, P=0.013). The bank successfully coordinated a total of 512 donors among newly matched donors from 1995 to 2013, of which the bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cell accounted for 40.8% and 59.2% of the total donations, respectively. Conclusion Our recruitment activities focus on promoting voluntary registration and the importance of updating personal contact information. We expect that these data may be useful for diverse studies and demonstrate the positive impacts on the donation program.

Abstract
PURPOSE While cavernous angioma (CVA) after cranial irradiation has been documented, its development after high-dose chemotherapy with autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) has not. We present a patient with desmoplastic/nodular medulloblastoma (DNMB) associated with anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (AED) who developed CVA 2 years after high-dose chemotherapy and PBSCT. METHODS A 1-year-old boy with ingravescent vomiting was admitted to our institute. He presented with a large head, a depressed nasal bridge, low-set ears, thick lips with peg-shaped teeth, hypohidrosis, sparse hair, thin atrophic skin, scaly dermatitis with frontal bossing, and a bulging anterior fontanel. Neuroradiological examination revealed multiple cerebellar masses with heterogeneous enhancement and speckled calcifications and severe obstructive hydrocephalus. The histological diagnosis of surgical specimens was DNMB, and he underwent postoperative multiple-drug chemotherapy with autologous PBSCT. The outcome was favorable and he did not undergo radiotherapy. RESULTS After 2 years, intracranial hemorrhage was detected at his regular radiological check-up and he again underwent surgery. The histological diagnosis was CVA. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the first report of AED-associated DNMB and CVA.

Abstract
The risk of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after HLA-matched sibling bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is lower in Japanese than in Caucasian patients. However, race may have differential effect on GVHD dependent on the graft source. North American Caucasian and Japanese patients receiving their first allogeneic BMT or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation from an HLA-matched sibling for leukemia were eligible. BMT was performed in 13% of the Caucasian patients and in 53% of the Japanese patients. On multivariate analysis, the interaction term between race and graft source was not significant in any of the models, indicating that graft source does not affect the impact of race on outcomes. The risk of grade III or IV acute GVHD was significantly lower in the Japanese patients compared with the Caucasian patients (hazard ratio [HR], 0.74; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.57 to 0.96), which resulted in lower risk of nonrelapse mortality in the Japanese patients (HR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.54 to 0.89). The risk of relapse was also lower in this group. The lower risks of nonrelapse mortality and relapse resulted in lower overall mortality rates among the Japanese patients. In conclusion, our data indicate that irrespective of graft source, the risk of severe acute GVHD is lower in Japanese patients, resulting in a lower risk of nonrelapse mortality.

Abstract
Our previous study demonstrated that G-CSF treatment increased the expression of TLR2 in donor grafts; this contributed to rapid engraftment after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in mice. In the current study, we investigated the effects of upregulated TLR2 expression in G-CSF-mobilized donor grafts on acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). We found that TLR2 was highly expressed on myeloid cell populations but not T and B cells from the spleens of G-CSF-treated donor mice. After transplantation, the mortality and disease severity in recipients were not significantly different between G-CSF-treated TLR2-/- and wt donor grafts. Although endogenous TLR2 ligand was detected in the serum of both recipients, T cells from TLR2-/- and wt donors have the same ability regarding alloreactivity. Moreover, the blockade of TLR2 signaling in recipients by administering anti-TLR2 blocking antibody after BMT did not lead to a significant difference in acute GVHD compared with control IgG treatment. However, the hematopoietic ability of G-CSF-mobilized lin−c-kit+ HSCs from TLR2-/- donor grafts was lower than that from wt donor grafts. Our results demonstrate that upregulated TLR2 expression in G-CSF-mobilized donor grafts has no effect on acute GVHD, suggesting that TLR2 is a valuable target for increasing HSCT efficiency in order to enhance engraftment without exacerbating acute GVHD.

Abstract
Haploidentical stem cell transplantation (SCT) offers a transplantation option to patients who lack an HLA-matched donor. We developed a 2-step approach to myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for patients with haploidentical or matched related (MR) donors. In this approach, the lymphoid and myeloid portions of the graft are administered in 2 separate steps to allow fixed T cell dosing. Cyclophosphamide is used for T cell tolerization. Given a uniform conditioning regimen, graft T cell dose, and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis strategy, we compared immune reconstitution and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing 2-step haploidentical versus 2-step MR SCT. We retrospectively compared data on patients undergoing a 2-step haploidentical (n = 50) or MR (n = 27) peripheral blood SCT for high-risk hematological malignancies and aplastic anemia. Both groups received myeloablative total body irradiation conditioning. Immune reconstitution data included flow cytometric assessment of T cell subsets at day 28 and 90 after SCT. Both groups showed comparable early immune recovery in all assessed T cell subsets except for the median CD3/CD8 cell count, which was higher in the MR group at day 28 compared with that in the haploidentical group. The 3-year probability of overall survival was 70% in the haploidentical group and 71% in the MR group (P = .81), while the 3-year progression-free survival was 68% in the haploidentical group and 70% in the MR group (P = .97). The 3-year cumulative incidence of nonrelapse mortality was 10% in the haploidentical group and 4% in the MR group (P = .34). The 3-year cumulative incidence of relapse was 21% in the haploidentical group and 27% in the MR group (P = .93). The 100-day cumulative incidence of overall grades II to IV acute GVHD was higher in the haploidentical group compared with that in the MR group (40% versus 8%, P < .001), whereas the grades III and IV acute GVHD was not statistically different between both groups (haploidentical, 6%; MR, 4%; P = .49). The cumulative incidence of cytomegalovirus reactivation was also higher in the haploidentical group compared to the MR group (haploidentical, 68%; MR, 19%; P < .001). There were no deaths from GVHD in either group. Using an identical conditioning regimen, graft T cell dose, and GVHD prophylaxis strategy, comparable early immune recovery and clinical outcomes were observed in the 2-step haploidentical and MR SCT recipients.

Abstract
Haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) performed using bone marrow (BM) grafts and post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has gained much interest for the excellent toxicity profile after both reduced-intensity and myeloablative conditioning. We investigated, in a cohort of 40 high-risk hematological patients, the feasibility of peripheral blood stem cells grafts after a treosulfan-melphalan myeloablative conditioning, followed by a PTCy and sirolimus-based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis (Sir-PTCy). Donor engraftment occurred in all patients, with full donor chimerism achieved by day 30. Post-HSCT recovery of lymphocyte subsets was broad and fast, with a median time to CD4 > 200/μL of 41 days. Cumulative incidences of grade II to IV and III-IV acute GVHD were 15% and 7.5%, respectively, and were associated with a significant early increase in circulating regulatory T cells at day 15 after HSCT, with values < 5% being predictive of subsequent GVHD occurrence. The 1-year cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD was 20%. Nonrelapse mortality (NRM) at 100 days and 1 year were 12% and 17%, respectively. With a median follow-up for living patients of 15 months, the estimated 1-year overall and disease-free survival (DFS) was 56% and 48%, respectively. Outcomes were more favorable in patients who underwent transplantation in complete remission (1-year DFS 71%) versus patients who underwent transplantation with active disease (DFS, 34%; P = .01). Overall, myeloablative haploidentical HSCT with peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) and Sir-PTCy is a feasible treatment option: the low rates of GVHD and NRM as well as the favorable immune reconstitution profile pave the way for a prospective comparative trial comparing BM and PBSC in this specific transplantation setting.

Abstract
Fifteen patients, with a median age of 19 years having severe aplastic anaemia (SAA) underwent human leucocyte antigen (HLA) identical sibling donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using conditioning regimens containing cyclophosphamide with antithymocyte globulin (ATG) or a combination of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide with or without ATG during December 2007 to May 2013. Cyclosporine and mini methotrexate were used as graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. Graft source included peripheral blood stem cells in 11, bone marrow in 3 and both in 1. One patient had primary graft failure while 14 patients were engrafted with a median neutrophil and platelet engraftment time of 13.5 days. One patient had secondary graft rejection. Acute GVHD occurred in 3 patients and chronic GVHD in 4. One year death rate in engrafted patients was 14.28 %. At a mean follow-up of 21.2 months, 12 (80 %) are alive and well. One of the donors was a patient of haemophilia but the disease did not occur in the recipient. The graft was successful and the recipient is alive till date.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this case report and review was to determine the characteristics of retinoblastoma. METHODS One case report was introduced along with previous reports on retinoblastoma metastasizing to the mandible. RESULTS Sixteen cases from 14 reports were included in this study. Including the present case, 11 of 16 patients died within 8 months. DISCUSSION Retinoblastoma rarely metastasizes to the mandible. However, metastasis to other organs should be considered, and specialists should be consulted if retinoblastoma metastasis to the mandible is observed. Moreover, it is necessary to follow up patients after multidisciplinary therapy is completed, because subsequent complications of the teeth and jawbones associated with therapy could occur.

Abstract
Autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) is an established therapy for multiple myeloma (MM), with an impact on quality of remission and survival. We analyzed the role of race, ethnicity, sex, and age disparities in AHCT utilization in the United States. We combined MM incidence derived from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results program with transplantation activity reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research for the period of 2005 to 2009 to assess the impact of disparities in AHCT. Utilization (number of transplantations/new cases) was compared between groups using the relative utilization ratio (RUR), defined as [utilization for a given category]/[utilization for the entire population]. Data were obtained from 22,462 actual MM cases and 13,311 AHCT. The age-adjusted RUR was 1.17 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.15 to 1.19) among non-Hispanic Whites (NHW), higher than in non-Hispanic Blacks (NHB) (age-adjusted RUR, .69; 95% CI, .67 to .72; P < .0002), Hispanics (age-adjusted RUR, .64; 95% CI, .60 to .69; P < .002), and Asians (age-adjusted RUR, .65; 95% CI, .58 to .73; P < .0002]. AHCT utilization was higher in men than in women among Hispanics (age-adjusted RUR .72 versus .56, P = .007), but not among NHW, NHB, or Asians. Sex disparity prevents 1.3% of potential AHCTs in patients with MM (10.4% among Hispanics). Racial-ethnic disparities prevent 13.8% of AHCTs (44.7% in Hispanic and Asians, 39.9% in NHBs). Race-ethnicity disparity greatly affects AHCT utilization in MM. Sex disparity plays a lesser role, except among Hispanics. The ongoing decrease in age disparity will continue to drive major increase of AHCT activity. Two-year and 5-year increases in the age of the AHCT population would result in 12% and 32% increases, respectively, in volume of AHCT.

Abstract
Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) form the foundation of current graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis regimens. We hypothesized that a CNI-free regimen consisting of post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) and brief-course sirolimus would reduce chronic GVHD and nonrelapse mortality (NRM) after reduced-intensity conditioning allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). Twenty-six patients (median age, 61 years) underwent unmanipulated PBSCT from an 8/8 locus-matched donor (matched related donor, n = 17; natched unrelated donor, n = 9). GVHD prophylaxis consisted of PTCy and brief-course sirolimus. Donor engraftment occurred in all patients. The cumulative incidence (CI) of grade II-IV acute GVHD, grade III-IV acute GVHD, and chronic GVHD was 46%, 15%, and 31% respectively. One-year NRM was 4%. The median time to immunosuppression discontinuation was day +138. With a median follow-up of 20 months, the estimated 2-year overall survival was 71%, estimated disease-free survival was 64%, and estimated relapse incidence was 32%. In patients with a lymphoid malignancy (eg, chronic lymphoblastic leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin disease), 2-year disease-free survival was 100%, and there were no relapses. Good immune reconstitution was evidenced by low cytomegalovirus reactivation rate of 21% (4 of 19 at-risk patients). GVHD prophylaxis with PTCy and sirolimus achieves consistent donor engraftment, low rates of chronic GVHD and NRM, and excellent outcomes in recipients of HLA-identical related and unrelated donor allogeneic PBSCT.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the predictive effect of the EBMT risk score on the outcomes of allogeneic stem cell transplantation in a relatively homogenous group of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) patients regarding the occurrence of acute and chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD). This historical cohort study included adult patients (≥ 15 years old) with AML (n=363) who received allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation from HLA-identical sibling donors in the first or higher complete remission following myeloablative conditioning regimens between 2004 and 2011.The patients recruited in this study were followed-up until January 2013. Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) were excluded from the study. Early outcomes until day +100 and events after day +100 were regarded for acute and chronic GVHD, respectively. A multi state model for competing risks was applied. We found that the EBMT risk score was a good predictor for overall survival (OS) and relapse incidence; however, it was not associated with transplant-related mortality (TRM). The EBMT risk score was not associated with acute and chronic GVHD. For early outcomes, the predictive effect of the EBMT risk score was not statistically significant in the presence of acute GVHD; however, in the presence of chronic GVHD, it was a significant predictor of relapse but not for TRM. It seems that the effect of EBMT risk score on OS and relapse incidence cannot be affected by GVHD. Although the results were insignificant, there was evidence that the EBMT risk score can predict early outcomes, while for late outcomes, it works well for relapse and OS but not for TRM.

Abstract
Introduction Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a conduct used to treat some hematologic diseases and to consolidate the treatment of others. In the field of nursing, the few published scientific studies on nursing care and early hospital discharge of transplant patients are deficient. Knowledge about the diseases treated using hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, providing guidance to patients and caregivers and patient monitoring are important nursing activities in this process. Guidance may contribute to long-term goals through patients’ short-term needs. Aim To analyze the results of early hospital discharge on the treatment of patients submitted to autologous transplantation and the influence of nursing care on this conduct. Methods A retrospective, quantitative, descriptive and transversal study was conducted. The hospital records of 112 consecutive patients submitted to autologous transplantation in the period from January to December 2009 were revisited. Of these, 12 patients, who remained in hospital for more than ten days after transplantation, were excluded from the study. Results The medical records of 100 patients with a median age of 48.5 years (19–69 years) were analyzed. All patients were mobilized and hematopoietic stem cells were collected by leukapheresis. The most common conditioning regimes were BU12Mel100 and BEAM 400. Toxicity during conditioning was easily managed in the outpatient clinic. Gastrointestinal toxicity, mostly Grades I and II, was seen in 69% of the patients, 62% of patients had diarrhea, 61% of the patients had nausea and vomiting and 58% had Grade I and II mucositis. Ten patients required hospitalization due to the conditioning regimen. Febrile neutropenia was seen in 58% of patients. Two patients died before Day +60 due to infections, one with aplasia. The median times to granulocyte and platelet engraftment were 12 days and 15 days, respectively, with median red blood cell and platelet transfusions until discharge of three and four units, respectively. Twenty-three patients required rehospitalization before being discharged from the outpatient clinic. Conclusion The median time to granulocyte engraftment was 12 days and during the aplasia phase few patients were hospitalized or suffered infections. The toxicity of the conditioning was the leading cause of rehospitalization. The nursing staff participated by providing guidance to patients and during the mobilization, transplant and outpatient follow-up phases, thus helping to successfully manage toxicity.

Abstract
We investigated whether bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells from older sibling donors or cord blood from unrelated donors provided a better outcome in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for relatively older patients who were candidates for myeloablative conditioning. Clinical outcomes of 97 patients aged 45 years or older with hematologic malignancies who received unrelated cord blood transplantation (CBT) (n = 66) or bone marrow transplantation (BMT) or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) from related donors (n = 31) were compared. The cumulative incidences of grades III to IV acute and extensive chronic graft-versus-host diseases were similar between both groups. Although transplant-related mortality was significantly lower after CBT compared with BMT/PBSCT from related donors (hazard ratio [HR], .29, P = .04), overall mortality (HR, .72, P = .47) and relapse (HR, 2.02, P = .23) were not significantly different after CBT and BMT/PBSCT from related donors. These data suggest that CBT could be as safe and effective as BMT/PBSCT from older related donors for relatively older patients when it is used as a primary unrelated stem cell source.

Abstract
Allogenic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (Allo-PBSCT) is being used to treat hematological malignancies with increasing frequency. Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) is a complex complication of PBSCT. A 43-year-old woman came to the gynecology clinic for amenorrhea. She had been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia 2 years earlier and treated with induction and consolidation chemotherapy. After developing complete remission, she underwent Allo-PBSCT. When she started chemotherapy, her menstrual cycle completely disappeared. Fourteen months after menopausal hormone replacement therapy, it was discovered that her upper vaginal canal was completely obstructed. The lower vagina had an atrophic appearance. We report a rare case of partial vaginal obstruction as a complication of chronic GvHD and review the literature. We expect that this case report provides an opportunity to remind clinician of the gynecologic complications of GvHD.
