title: [First results of bone marrow transplantation in acute and chronic leukemia at the Byelarus Center for Bone Marrow Transplantation].
abstract: The first 10 bone marrow transplantations (BMT), 6 of the allogenic (allo-BMT) and 4 autologous (auto-BMT) were performed from February to June 1994 in Byelarus Center for Bone Marrow Transplantation. Two of the patients were experiencing the first complete remission of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), one of them - the first ALL recurrence, three patients with acute myeloblastic leukemia had the first complete remission, four patients had a chronic phase of chronic myeloid leukemia. In auto-BMT bone marrow (BM) was stored in liquid hydrogen after programmed freezer. An average yield of nucleated cells (NC) after taking and separation of allo-BM made up 3.0 x 10(8) cell/kg and 2.7 x 10(8) cell/kg in auto-BMT. After thawing of BM NC yield reached 1.5 x 10(8) cell/kg (0.8-2.3) x 10(8) cell/kg. CFU concentrations persisted at 24.7 x 10(4) (5.0-40.4) x 10(4) cell/kg body weight. The mean duration of leukocyte, neutrophil and platelet rise to the levels of over 1.0 x 10(9)/l, 0.5 x 10(9)/l, 20 x 10(9) cell/l, respectively, and the last time red cells were transfused were 23 (19-33), 23 (19-31), 22 (9-51), 4.5 (0-19), respectively. One ALL (first complete remission) patient died on day 52 after allo BMT of severe hepatic venous-occlusive disease. The other ALL patient (the first relapse) developed another relapse on day 112 after BMT. The rest 8 patients are in satisfactory condition.
