    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung In einer prospektiven, multizentrischen Studie wurde der Verlauf bei 33 Patienten mit Präleukämie verfolgt. Kriterien für die Aufnahme in die Studie waren eine Anämie mit Granulo- und/oder Thrombozytopenie bei normal oder erhöht zellreichem Knochenmark und Ausschluß einer für diese Veränderungen verantwortlichen Grunderkrankung oder externen Noxe. Die kürzeste Nachbeobachtungszeit nach Stellung der Diagnose „Präleukämie“ betrug 3 Jahre. Die mediane Überlebenszeit war 26 Monate nach Ersterfassung und 36 Monate nach Erstsymptom der Erkrankung. Remissionen wurden nicht beobachtet. Bei 40% der Patienten wurde innerhalb von 2 Jahren nach Ersterfassung eine akute Leukämie diagnostiziert. Unter den geprüften prognostischen Faktoren sprachen vor allem Chromosomenaberrationen und ein erhöhter Blastenanteil für den Übergang in eine akute Leukämie.
    Notes: Summary The natural course of disease was followed in 33 patients with so-called preleukemia by a prospective multicentric protocol. Patients with the following criteria were included: Anaemia with granulocytopenia and/or thrombocytopenia, normal or increased cellularity of the bone marrow and exclusion of a known diagnosis of underlying disease. Follow up after assumption of “preleukemia” was 3 years or more. Median survival was 26 months after diagnosis of preleukemia and 36 months after the first unequivocal symptoms of the blood dyscrasia. 40% of the patients changed to the picture of leukemia within 2 years. The most important parameters suggesting subsequent transition to overt leukemia where chromosomal abberations and an increased blast count of the bone marrow.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wurden Untersuchungen zur Bestimmung des Erythrocytenvolumens beim Menschen mit dem kurzlebigen Isotop 99m-Tc durchgeführt. Dabei zeigte sich, daß eine ausreichend stabile Markierung durch halbstündige Inkubation mit 99m-Tc und anschließende kurzzeitige Zugabe von SnCl2 erreicht werden kann. Die Inkorporationsrate ist vom Plasmaanteil und vom Hämatokrit der zu markierenden Erythrocytensuspension abhängig. Gleichzeitige Markierung derselben oder einer gleichen Probe mit51Cr ergab gut übereinstimmende Resultate für das Erythrocytenvolumen.
    Notes: Summary Incubation of human red cells with 99 m-Tc and subsequent addition of SnCl2 resulted in stable red cell labeling. Simultaneous tagging of the same or another red cell specimen by51Cr and calculation of the red cell volume from both isotopes gave almost identical results. The 99m-Tc-technique may become the method of choice for red cell volume determination.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The efficiency of strict reverse isolation and antimicrobial decontamination in remission induction therapy of acute leukemia was studied retrospectively in 47 patients who were treated with a standardized aggressive chemotherapy of daunorubicin and cytosine arabinoside. Twenty-two patients were treated in strict reverse isolation with antimicrobial decontamination and 25 patients in the open ward without any measures against infections. In the patients in isolation the incidence of new infections per patient was 0.77 compared to 1.42 in the control group. The rate of complete remissions was 77% in the patients in isolation vs. 56 % in the control patients.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Wirksamkeit von strikter reverser Isolation und antimikrobieller Dekontamination bei der Induktionstherapie der akuten LeukÄmie wurde retrospektiv bei 47 Patienten untersucht. Alle Patienten erhielten eine standardisierte aggressive Chemotherapie mit Daunorubicin und Cytosin-Arabinosid. Zweiundzwanzig Patienten wurden in strikter reverser Isolation mit antimikrobieller Dekontamination behandelt, 25 Patienten auf normalen Krankenstationen ohne Ma\nahmen zur Infektionsprophylaxe. Die HÄufigkeit neuer Infektionen pro Patient war 0,77 bei den isolierten Patienten und 1,42 in der Kontrollgruppe. Die Rate kompletter Remissionen betrug bei den isolierten Patienten 77% im Vergleich zu 56% bei den Patienten auf den normalen Krankenstationen.

    Notes: Abstract Seventy-eight transfusions of autologous platelets were given to eight alloimmunized patients receiving curative chemotherapy for acute leukemia. Platelets were collected at regeneration of hematopoiesis after a chemotherapy cycle, cryopreserved with 5% dimethylsulfoxide in liquid nitrogen, and retransfused during bone marrow aplasia following the next treatment cycle. The in vitro platelet recovery after freezing, thawing, and washing was 85 ±4%. The in vivo corrected count increment 1 h after autologous platelet transfusions was 11±5×109/l. With the exception of moderate urticaria and slight nausea each after one transfusion, no immediate or chronic side effects occurred. The bleeding time was shortened and hemorrhage during bone marrow aplasia was prevented in all alloimmunized patients by autologous platelet transfusions.

    Notes: Summary The differentiation inducing effect of low-dose Ara-C on human myeloid leukemic cells was studied in two patients with subacute myelocytic and subacute myelomonocytic leukemia in vivo and in vitro. By continuous i. v. administration of 10 mg Ara-C/m2 over 12 h daily for 12 or 20 days complete remissions were obtained in both patients with normalization of the incidence of the comitted progenitor cells BFU-E and CFU-C in the marrow while the incidence of pluripotent CFU-GEMM remained subnormal. Parallel cultures of the patients' bone marrow cells in diffusion chambers (DC) implanted in mice demonstrated a clear cytotoxic effect of low-dose Ara-C. The greater increase of granulopoietic cells within DC in the Ara-C exposed group than in control mice after the end of drug administration is, in addition, an indication for differentiation induction by this kind of Ara-C therapy.

    Notes: Summary We have studied the clinical courses of 69 patients with blastic crises of Philadelphia chromosome positive CML to identify parameters that were associated with an increased response rate or survival. Cytogenetic analysis at the time of blastic transformation revealed additional chromosome changes in 70% of the patients tested. Bone marrow fibrosis was detected in 58% of evaluable patients. Lymphoblastic transformation was seen in 28% of the patients tested with cell surface marker analysis. The value of 5'-nucleotidase as a marker for distinguishing lymphoid from non-lymphoid blast crisis was confirmed. Of 57 evaluable patients, 23 (40%) responded to therapy (CR/PR longer than 14 days). Median survival was 75 days. Longer survival was related to the following factors: Ph1-chromosome as the only detectable cytogenetic abnormality; lymphoblastic transformation; no bone marrow fibrosis; high percentage of blasts and promyelocytes in the bone marrow, and response to therapy. No prognostic significance was associated with age, sex, Tdt, LDH, spleen size, duration of the chronic phase of the disease, white blood cell count, Hb, platelet count and percentages of basophils, eosinophils, erythroblasts and blasts and promyelocytes in the peripheral blood. These data confirm the poor prognosis of patients with blastic crisis of CML treated by conventional chemotherapy.

    Notes: Abstract  Ninety patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia in blast crisis were reviewed to identify significant prognostic associations. At diagnosis of blast crisis the main clinical, laboratory, and cytogenetic data were recorded and evaluated for prognostic significance. At the time of the analysis 89 patients had died, with a median survival of 11 weeks from diagnosis of blast crisis. Patient characteristics demonstrated in the univariate analysis to have significant association with shorter survival were: thrombocythemia, leukocyte count above 20×109, Karnofsky index 〈50%, nonlymphoid blast cell morphology, cytogenetic clonal evolution, the presence of a double Philadelphia chromosome or trisomy 8, and no response to therapy. In 17 of 59 patients (29%) evaluable for response to therapy a complete or partial remission was achieved. These responders had a significantly longer median survival (25 weeks) as compared with nonresponders (9 weeks). Response to therapy was significantly better in lymphoid blast crisis and in patients without clonal evolution. In a multivariate analysis containing all significant variables of the univariate analysis two parameters retained their prognostic significance: response to therapy and trisomy 8. In spite of the short overall survival in blast crisis, the determination of prognostic factors may be a useful tool for the clinician planning therapy, especially new therapeutic approaches.
