[A study on the peripheral blood stem cells mobilization, collection and their effects on engraftment].
The methods of mobilization and collection of stem cells in peripheral blood stem cells transplantation (PBSCT) and the association between the number of stem cells transplanted and hematopoietic recovery were studied. The investigation was carried in 22 patients (11 acute leukemia, 6 multiple myeloma, 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, 1 breast cancer). Three regimens for mobilization were carried out as follows: 1) chemotherapy + tetrahydrofolic acid + dexamethasone, 2) chemotherapy + rhGM-CSF + dexamethasone, 3) chemotherapy + rhG-CSF + dexamethasone. Besides, CD34/CD33 dual-color direct immunofluorescence flow cytometry assay was performed in 7 cases in the rhG-CSF group. The results showed: 1) The mean number of collected cells (MNC) in the rhG-CSF group was MNC (8.29 +/- 6.14) x 10(8)/kg and CFU-GM (21.35 +/- 17.24) x 10(4)/kg, being highest among the 3 groups. 2) The number of CD34+ cells correlated with MNC and CFU-GM. CD34+ cells in the peripheral blood were 0 or < 0.5% before mobilization and increased markedly 6-8 days after rhG-CSF administration. Harvesting should be started at that time and carried out every day until CD34+ cells reached 5 x 10(6)/kg. 3) The number of PBSC transplanted was the key to hematopoietic recovery.
