Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of chemotherapy regimens represented by pirarubicin (THP) vs. adriamycin hydrochloride (ADM) for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in mainland China. Methods The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about THP vs. ADM for treating NHL were collected in the databases such as CNKI, CBM, VIP and WanFang Data, and the references of the included studies were also retrieved manually, with the retrieval time from January 1989 to September 2012. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, two reviewers independently screened articles, extracted data, and assessed the methodological quality of the included studies. Then meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.0 software. Results A total of 15 RCTs involving 1 659 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: a) As for the total effective rate, the CTOP (C: cyclophosphamide, T: pirarubicin, O: vincristine, P: prednison) regimen was superior to the CHOP (C: cyclophosphamide H: adriamycin hydrochloride, O: vincristine, P: prednison) regimen with a significant difference (OR=1.07, 95%CI 1.02 to 1.12, P=0.006); and b) As for the safety, there were significant differences between the two groups in the incidence of cardiac toxicity (OR=0.42, 95%CI 0.30 to 0.57, Plt;0.000 01), gastrointestinal tract response (OR=0.69, 95%CI 0.56 to 0.85, P=0.000 5) and liver damage (OR=0.69, 95%CI 0.48 to 1.00, P=0.05). But no significant differences were found between the two groups in the incidence of mye1osuppression: the decreased hemoglobin (OR=0.83, 95%CI 0.61 to 1.14, P=0.25), leucopenia (OR=0.85, 95%CI 0.68 to 1.07, P=0.17), and thrombocytopenia (OR=0.99, 95%CI 0.70 to 1.39, P=0.95). Conclusion Based on the domestic evidences at current and compared with CHOP regimen represented by ADM, CTOP regimen represented by THP for treating NHL shows a higher total effective rate and less side effects. However, more high quality, large sample and double blind RCTs are required to prove this conclusion for the quality and quantity limitation of the included studies.
Objective To systematically evaluate the pharmacoeconomic vaule of chemotherapy combined with rituximab for patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHL). Methods A systematic literature search of cost-effectiveness studies on rituximab treating NHL published from 1998 to 2012 was carried out in following databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, Health Technology Assessment (HTA) and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR). And the references of included studies were also retrieved manually. The studies were screened according to the pre-designed inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the incremental cost- effectiveness ratio (ICER) in comparison between chemotherapy plus rituximab and chemotherapy alone was systematically evaluated according to the literature evaluation index system. Results The average ICER of Rituximab treating NHL was 16 318/QALY, 17 688/QALY, and 22 461/QALY in the UK, Mainland Europe, and US, respectively. All the reported ICERs in the included studies were below the implemented country-specific thresholds. Conclusion Based on present foreign literature, the integrated therapy of chemotherapy and rituximab for NHL is supposed to be a better cost-effective therapy with ICER below the implemented country-specific thresholds.
目的 增加对治疗相关性继发白血病的认识。 方法 报道非霍奇金淋巴瘤治疗后2年继发急性髓细胞白血病M6型1例，结合文献讨论治疗相关性白血病的发病机制、治疗、预后。 结果 1例73岁非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者接受R（Rituxmab，利妥昔单抗）－CHOP环磷酰胺+多柔比星+长春新碱+泼尼松方案规律化学治疗。治疗结束24+个月后，经骨髓涂片及细胞免疫分型诊断为急性髓细胞白血病M6型，染色体检查为：44～48，XY，del（5）（q12q33），-8，-10，der（12）t（4；12）（q11-q12；p13），其一般情况急剧恶化并死亡。 结论 治疗相关性白血病的发生可能与烷化剂等化疗药物使用和免疫受损等有关，利妥昔单抗导致第二肿瘤的发生暂时不能除外。治疗相关性白血病常伴有复杂染色体核型，其病情发展迅速，治疗效果差，生存期明显缩短。Objective To improve the understanding of secondary therapy-related leukemia. Methods The clinical data of one patient with non-Hodgkin lymphoma which transformed into acute myeloid leukemia M6 2 years after chemotherapy were studied. We discussed the pathogenesis, treatment and prognosis of therapy-related leukemia with literature review. Results A 73-year-old patient diagnosed to have non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma accepted R-CHOP chemotherapy.Two years after the treatment, the disease finally developed into acute myeloid leukemia M6 confirmed by cytogenetics, bone marrow morphology and flowcytometry analysis. The chromosome analysis demonstrated complex karyotypes as 44-48, XY, del (5) (q12q33), -8, -10, der (12) t (4; 12) (q11-q12; p13). His general status deteriorated rapidly and soon after the patient died. Conclusions Occurrence of therapy-related leukemia may be due to the administration of alkylating agents, topoisomerase inhibitors and damage of immune function. Therapy-related leukemia often occurs with complex karyotypes and progresses rapidly with poor treatment response.

Methods The clinical data of 11 patients with recurrent non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma after auto-HSCT from January 2000 to December 2010 were collected, including nine males and 2 females with the median age of 39 years (13-48 years old), and the median duration of the disease was 3 years (27 months-6.5 years). All patients were relapsed or refractory cases. After auto-HSCT, complete remission was found in 8 and partial remission was in 3. The recurrence median time after auto-HSCT was 15 months. The patients underwent allo-HSCT after the recurrence of the disease. In the 11 patients, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) full matched (6/6) in 6, 5/6 matched in 3, and 4/6 matched in 2; the same gender in 6 and different gender in 5. FBC conditioning regimen: fludarabine 30 mg/m2 for 1-5 days, BU 12-14 mg/kg in 4 days of oral, CY 120 mg/kg in 2 days. Grafts are peripheral blood stem cells plus bone marrow. Prevention of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD): HLA full-matched by CsA+short-term MTX+MMF and mismatched by ATG+CsA+short-term MTX+MMF. Results All of the 11 patients received hematopoietic reconstruction, acute GVHD occurred in 6 cases (54.55%), including degree Ⅰ plus Ⅱ in 4, degree Ⅲ in 1 and degree Ⅳ in 1. One patient died of infection due to degree Ⅳ GVHD, and the rest had been effectively controlled. Chronic GVHD occurred in 7 patients (63.64%); limited type was in 4 in and extensive type was in 3. During the follow-up period of 8 months-9 years, 4 patients relapsed 8, 15, 21, and 34 months after transplantation, and the other 6 patients was still alive. Conclusion Allo-HSCT is effective on relapsing non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma after auto-HSCT.
目的 增加对慢性淋巴细胞白血病合并非霍奇金淋巴瘤临床病例的认识。 方法 通过报道2011年11月和2012年7月入住的2例确诊为慢性淋巴细胞白血病合并非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者的诊治过程，复习文献，讨论其发病机制、治疗及预后。 结果 该2例患者均予以化疗，其中1例浅表淋巴结明显缩小，骨髓涂片基本恢复正常，病情控制较好；另1例合并症多、病情恶化快、肿瘤化疗效果欠佳，最后因呼吸衰竭死亡。 结论 慢性淋巴细胞白血病合并非霍奇金淋巴瘤，治疗上应综合考虑患者年龄、ECOG评分、临床分期、预后指数等因素，原则上以治疗恶性程度更高的非霍奇金淋巴瘤为主，可根据慢性淋巴细胞白血病分期进行观察、随访或积极治疗。

Objective To investigate the clinical features of non-gastrointestinal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue ( MALT) lymphoma.Methods Forty-eight pathologically proved cases of nongastrointestinal MALT lymphoma, admitted into Peking Union Medical College Hospital fromJanuary 2000 to July 2011, were retrospectively analyzed.Results There were 32 females and 16 males. The median age at diagnosis was 55. 4 years old ( range, 21-76 years) . The most commonly affected sites were lung, salivary glands, thyroid and ocular adnexa. In5 cases, the lymphoma presented at multiple mucosal sites. 27 patients were asymptomatic while 13 had non-specific symptoms. Blood test showed mild or moderate anemia in 8 cases, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate in 19 cases, and elevated lactate dehydrogenase in 6 patients.Imaging examinations revealed enlarged lymph nodes in 20 patients. 6 patients had a history of Sjoren’s syndrome, in whom3 cases were salivary gland diseases. In the patients with lung involvement, pathological diagnosis was obtained by bronchial biopsies in 3 cases, by CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsies in 11 cases, and by surgical biopsies in 9 cases. While in the patients without lung involvement, pathological diagnosis was obtained all by surgical biopsies. Of the 23 patients with lung involvement, 1 remain untreated,while 22 received various combinations of treatment ( surgery alone in 3 patients, surgery plus chemotherapy in 6 patients, and chemotherapy alone in 13 patients) . Of the 25 patients without lung involvement, 11 patients received surgery alone, 10 patients received surgery plus chemotherapy, 3 patients received chemotherapy alone, and 1 patient received surgery plus chemotherapy and radiotherapy. 46 patients remained alive during the median follow-up of 46. 7 months ( range, 4-133 months) . While 1 patient with lung involvement died from unknown causes, another 1 patient with lung involvement died from lung infection. Conclusions Non-gastrointestinal MALT lymphoma tends to occur in old-aged females, and commonly occurs in lung, salivary gland and thyroid sites. Most patients are asymptomatic or have only nonspecific symptoms. CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsies and surgical biopsies are helpful to the diagnosis.Prognosis for this lymphoma tends to be indolent.
