    © 2018, The Author(s). Purpose: The aim of this study is to clarify the factors affecting physical function after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 88 patients (median age, 44.5 years) who received allogeneic HSCT. Leg extension torque and peak oxygen consumption (VO 2 ) were evaluated before and after HSCT. Patient factors (age, sex, underlying diseases, hemoglobin, serum albumin, and Karnofsky performance status score before transplant) and transplant factors (conditioning regimen, days to neutrophil engraftment, grades of acute graft-versus-host disease [GVHD], infections, and the interval between pre- and post-evaluation) were collected via chart review, and were used for correlational and comparison analyses in order to identify the variables associated with reduced post-HSCT leg extension torque and peak VO 2 . Stepwise multiple regression analyses for post-HSCT leg extension torque and post-HSCT peak VO 2 were performed using age, sex, and the related variables with a p value < 0.2 in the correlational and comparison analyses. Results: Leg extension torque and peak VO 2 were significantly reduced after HSCT (p < 0.001). Pre-HSCT leg extension torque, grades of acute GVHD, age, and the interval between pre- and post-evaluation were identified as significant factors associated with reduced post-HSCT leg extension torque. However, none of these factors were significantly associated with reduced post-HSCT peak VO 2 , and only its pre-transplant value was identified as a significant factor. Conclusions: These findings suggest that improvements in muscle strength and cardiopulmonary fitness before HSCT are crucial for maintaining post-treatment physical function, especially in elderly individuals with acute GVHD requiring a long-term stay in a protective environment.

    © 2019, Japanese Society of Hematology. Knowledge of the toxicity profile of long-term treatment with imatinib is limited. In the present study, we sought to evaluate renal function and hemoglobin levels during long-term imatinib treatment. Eighty-two patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia in chronic phase who had been on imatinib for over 5 years were retrospectively analyzed. The mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was significantly decreased over 5 years (77 ± 17 to 62 ± 14 ml/min/1.73m², P < 0.001). Higher age and lower eGFR value at initiation of imatinib were significantly associated with development of renal dysfunction by multivariate analyses. Mean hemoglobin levels also significantly decreased over the 5-year period (12.9 ± 1.7 to 12.4 ± 1.3 g/dl, P < 0.01). The rate of decrease in eGFR correlated significantly with hemoglobin levels (correlation coefficient = − 0.249, P < 0.05). Serum erythropoietin (EPO) levels did not increase in 16 patients with both renal dysfunction and anemia (median, 31.9 mIU/ml). In patients who participated in a clinical trial of imatinib discontinuation, mean eGFR (50.0 ± 6.5 to 56.0 ± 10.2 ml/min/1.73m², P < 0.05) and hemoglobin levels (12.0 ± 1.7 to 14.0 ± 1.6 g/dl, P < 0.01) improved significantly at 1 year after discontinuation. These findings suggest that long-term imatinib results in a partially reversible continuous decline in renal function and decreased hemoglobin levels.

    　View Summary

    © 2018 Japanese Society of Chemotherapy and The Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases Mucormycosis generally develops under immunocompromised conditions, including hematological malignancies and solid organ or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Although mucormycosis usually affects the lungs and paranasal sinuses, sporadic cases of invasive mucormycosis of the liver have been reported. We hereby report a patient with myelofibrosis who developed hepatic mucormycosis diagnosed by post-mortem examination. An extensive literature review identified 13 reported cases of hepatic mucormycosis, including ours, without lung involvement. Most of the underlying diseases or conditions were hematological malignancies and solid organ transplantation. Three cases had splenic lesions and four had gastrointestinal lesions, suggesting the possibility of translocation to the liver and/or spleen from the gastrointestinal tracts. Hepatic mucormycosis should be recognized as one of the presentations of invasive mucormycosis, especially when hepatic nodules are found in immunocompromised patients such as those with hematological malignancy or recipients of solid organ transplantation.

    © 2019 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd Background: Immunoglobulin (Ig) G2 subclass deficiency is known to be associated with recurrent bacterial respiratory infections caused by capsulated bacteria and is found mostly in pediatric patients. However, its impact after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has not been fully assessed. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the relationship between IgG2 subclass levels and bacterial pneumonia in 74 adult patients who survived longer than 2 years after allogeneic HSCT. Results: During the evaluation period, nine patients developed bacterial pneumonia. The median IgG2 level was significantly lower in patients with an infectious episode than in those without (143 mg/dL vs 287 mg/dL; P < 0.01). In multivariate analysis, a history of rituximab therapy and cord blood as a stem cell source were significantly associated with decreased levels of both IgG2 and IgG2/IgG ratios (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Suboptimal serum IgG2 levels could increase susceptibility to late-onset bacterial pneumonia after allogeneic HSCT. IgG2 levels should be considered carefully, especially in patients receiving cord blood transplantation and/or rituximab treatment.

    　View Summary

    © 2018 Elsevier Inc. Lipoid pneumonia is an uncommon noninfectious inflammatory lung disease characterized by lipid deposition in the alveoli, and its etiology and treatment have not been elucidated. We report the case of a 32-year-old woman who developed lipoid pneumonia 9 months after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant for chronic myelogenous leukemia in lymphoid blast crisis. She complained of progressive cough and dyspnea shortly after discontinuation of immunosuppressive therapy given for graft-vs-host disease. Computed tomography demonstrated diffuse ground-glass opacities in the lungs, and pulmonary function test revealed restrictive impairment. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid showed milky appearance, and transbronchial lung biopsy specimen revealed foamy macrophages infiltrating the alveoli. Based on these findings, she was diagnosed as having lipoid pneumonia. Prednisolone (1 mg/kg/d) promptly improved the symptoms, pulmonary shadows, and pulmonary function. The findings and clinical course of this case suggest that lipoid pneumonia should be recognized as one of the pulmonary complications of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
