Successful allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) depends not only on good HLA match but also on T-cell mediated graft-versus-leukemia (GvL) effect. Natural killer (NK) cells are able to kill malignant cells by receiving activation signal from the killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) recognizing HLA molecules on a cancer cell. It has been recently reported that the...

The article analyzes the potential of using impulse oscillometry in diagnosis respiratory disorders children with oncological and hematological diseases after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). study was approved by Independent Ethics Committee Scientific Council Dmitry Rogachev National Medical Research Center Pediatric Hematology, Oncology Immunology Ministry Healthcar...

Objectives: Identical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) is associated with a higher risk of graft rejection when compared to matched sibling donor transplantations. Methods: The study included 34 patients who were treated novel regimen combining basiliximab, Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) and conventional immunosuppressive in the recipients haplo-HSCT. Results: cumulative inci...

Graft rejection remains a significant concern after hematopoietic stem, cell transplantation (HSCT). While its incidence and predisposing factors are well known in the setting of solid organ transplantation (SOT), the study of graft rejection still remains an area of active investigation in case of HSCT. Recipient T cells, natural killer cells and antibodies are implicated in graft rejection. O...

BACKGROUND Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells transplantation (HSCT) is a curative intervention in patients with haematological malignant and non-malignant diseases, immunodeficiency, autoimmune, and other genetic diseases. Early complications are complications that are occurring in the first 100 days, while complications arising after the 100th day of transplantation belong to late complicati...

*Peripheral neutrophils were supported pretransplant by recombinant granulocyte colony stimulating factor. Post-transplant parameters were obtained at 18 months (FBC and T-cell indices, lung function) or 21 months post-HSCT (B cell and antibody indices). Post-HSCT antibody indices were measured during concomitant subcutaneous immunoglobulin supplementation. No other autoantibodies were detected...

Changes in lung volume occur following haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT); airway hyperresponsiveness was occasionally reported, without mechanistic explanation. The present authors studied 17 patients by standard methacholine (MCh) challenge before and then 3 and 12 months after HSCT (n = 16 and n = 13, respectively). Another 6 patients were challenged before and 3 months after HS...

The objective of this study was to determine the incidence, risk factors, outcome, and clinical significance of pericardial effusion (PE). We retrospectively analyzed outcomes of 272 pediatric patients undergoing their first hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from 1998 to 2016. In total, 15% (3/20) and 5.9% (15/252) of autologous and allogeneic HSCT recipients, respectively, were id...

The process of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is well defined, yet debate remains surrounding the role and timing of HSCT in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Since the 1980s, survival advances have been made with the use of newer agents by recognizing the role of transplantation, identifying the anticipated side effects at each phase, and improving supportive care strategies...

J.m., a 43-year-old man with acute myelogenous leukemia with a monosomy 7 cytogenetic abnormality, received an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HscT) from his human leukocyte antigen– matched brother. Past treatments included idarubicin and cytarabine induction therapy followed by a cycle of high-dose cytarabine. J.m. was in complete remission prior to the HscT. The condition...
