    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: Abstract  A total of 149 consecutive de novo AML patients aged 50 years or less (median age = 37 years) were enrolled in this prospective multicenter trial initiated in May 1985. All patients received the same induction and early consolidation therapy with daunorubicin (DNR), cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C), and etoposide (DAV). High-dose Ara-C/DNR therapy included Ara-C at 3 g/m2, in 12 doses (HD-Ara-C/DNR I) and eight doses (HD-Ara-C/DNR II), followed by DNR 30 mg/m2 for 3 days. A complete remission (CR) was achieved in 104 (70%) patients; 61 complete responders received at least one cycle with HD-Ara-C/DNR. If those patients who were transplanted in first CR (n = 26), were not considered, the median relapse-free-survival (MRFS) of the remaining 78 patients was 15 months, with a probability of relapse-free survival (RFS) at 116 months of 30% (95% CI, 20–40%) after a median follow-up of 95 months. The MRFS of the HD-Ara-C/DNR consolidated patients was 25 months, with a probability of RFS at 116 months of 37% (95% CI, 24–50%). If all patients who were transplanted (n = 44) were not considered, the median survival time (MST) was 18 months with a probability of being alive at 118 months of 24% (95% CI, 16–33%). MST of the HD-Ara-C/DNR consolidated patients was 58 months with a survival probability of 46% (95% CI, 31–60%) at 118 months. Prognostic factor analysis did not reveal any significant influence of age, sex, FAB subtype, white blood cell count, hemoglobin level, thrombocyte count, LDH, or response to the first induction course on RFS of the HD-Ara-C/DNR consolidated patients. In summary, HD-Ara-C/DNR consolidation can improve the long-term outcome of a subgroup of de novo AML patients. Further improvement of the outcome seems to depend on the identification of patients with an inferior outcome under that strategy who might benefit from alternative treatment strategies.

    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 Bei 47 Patienten mit akuter Leukämie wurden die Ergebnisse einer voneinander unabhängigen Klassifizierung aufgrund der panoptischen Färbung einerseits und dem Ausfall cytochemischer Reaktionen andererseits (Peroxydase, PAS-Reaktion, Naphthol-AS-Acetat-Esterase) sowie das Ansprechen auf eine adäquate Induktionstherapie in den cytologisch und cytochemisch definierten Gruppen miteinander verglichen. In 42 Fällen stimmte die cytologische und cytochemische Differenzierung miteinander überein. Hinsichtlich des Ansprechens auf Therapie ergeben sich keine signifikanten Unterschiede, gleichgültig, ob man die AL nach cytologischen oder cytochemischen Kriterien gruppiert. Eine Ausnahme bildet der bei undifferenzierten AL cytochemisch charakterisierbare PAS-Typ, bei dem ein besseres Ansprechen auf Therapie als bei den Fällen ohne diagnostisch verwendbare cytochemische Aktivität wie auch bei den granulocytär differenzierten AL gefunden wurde. Hinsichtlich des Ansprechens auf Therapie verhalten sich die Erwachsenen mit PAS-Typ ähnlich günstig wie die Kinder.
    Notes: Summary The leukaemic blast cells of 47 cases of acute leukaemia have been independently subclassified on the basis of panoptic stains on the one side and cytochemical reactions (peroxydase, PAS, naphthol-AS-acetate-esterase) on the other. In 42 cases the results of the cytochemistry were concordant to those of the panoptic stains. The percentage of responders to adaequate inductive chemotherapy failed to show any differences between the groups defined according to the different criteria. However, within the group of acute leukaemias which on the basis of panoptical staining could not be attributed to one of the normal cell lines, patients with PAS-positive leukaemic cells seem to have a better response than all other cases. This may be true for adults as well as for children.
