Stem Cell Supportive Care in Chemotherapy of Acute Leukemia
Abstract
- OBJECT: Peripheral blood stem cells(PBSC) were collected after remission induction chemotherapy and reinfused after intensified chemotherapy in order to increase the chemotherapeutic efficacy.
METHOD: Collection of mononuclear cells(MNC) was started when CD34+ cells above 1% and WBC above 1,000/ul with mononuclear cell percentage above 30%, the collection procedures were done 2-6 times in each patient of total 6 cases. The collected MNCs were stored in -75 degrees C and reinfused after thawing in the water bath at 37 degrees C.
RESULTS
Twenty three collection procedures from the 6 cases of acute leukemia had made effective MNC collection in 4 cases and mean collection efficiency was 49.8%(from 39.0% to 74.5%). Hematological changes after the procedure were mean reduction of hemoglobin 1.34g/dl and mean 20.25% of decreased platelet count. There were noticed transient symptoms of discomfort, coughing, chest tightness and dyspnea in association with the infusion of stored cells.
CONCLUSION
The basic process for the peripheral blood stem cell transplantation(PBSCT) was accomplished with this supportive care for the consolidation chemotherapy of acute leukemia. Effective PBSCT would be warrented with more qualified process and high dose chemotherapy.
