title: [A clinical study of autologous hematopoietic stem cells transplantation in 41 patients with leukemia and other malignant diseases].
abstract: 41 patients (35 with leukemia, 4 lymphoma, 1 myeloma and 1 neuroblastoma) were treated with autologous hematopoietic stem cells transplantation. 8 patients were treated with autologous bone marrow transplant without purging (ABMT) 15 with autologous bone marrow transplant and purging (pABMT) and 18 with autologous blood hematopoietic stem cells transplant (ABHSCT). The mean hematopoietic reconstitution time was 60, 53, and 29.5 days respectively and the mean GM-CFU recovery time was 37, 44, and 30.5 days respectively in these three groups. The infection complication rates were 37.5%, 26.6% and 16.6% and the relapse rates were 37.5%, 30% and 18.7% respectively in the three groups. The results indicated that the ABHSCT had an earlier hematopoietic reconstitution time, a lesser infection complication rate and a lower relapse rate. Comparing with conventional chemotherapy, all the three transplant groups had an obviously longer disease-free survival time and a better curative effect.
