MRI定量肝脏及心脏铁过载对地中海贫血全相合造血干细胞移植的影响

摘要

背景:大部分的重型β-地中海贫血患儿都存在铁过载的情况,而铁过载可对造血干细胞移植产生不利影响.目的:利用MRI T2*检测肝脏及心脏铁过载情况,从而评估肝脏、心脏铁过载对重型β-地中海贫血患儿全相合异基因造血干细胞移植的影响.方法:对81例全相合异基因造血干细胞移植、年龄>3岁,能配合MRI检测的重型β-地中海贫血患儿,进行肝脏及心脏MRI T2*检测.根据检测结果计算出肝脏及心脏铁浓度,作为评价肝心铁过载的指标,并将肝脏、心脏铁浓度与患儿血清铁蛋白、造血重建时间、死亡率、植入率、移植后常见并发症的发病率,如移植物抗宿主病、感染、免疫性溶血、全血细胞减少、肝静脉阻塞病、败血症进行相关因素分析.结果与结论:肝脏铁浓度与血红蛋白植入时间呈正相关(r=0.229,P=0.043),心脏铁浓度与死亡率呈正相关(r=0.266,P=0.017),血清铁蛋白与植入率呈负相关(r=-0.289,P=0.009),血清铁蛋白与败血症发病率呈正相关(r=0.251,P=0.024),血清铁蛋白与全血细胞减少发病率呈正相关(r=0.276,P=0.013).由此可见,铁过载可对重型β-地中海贫血患儿全相合异基因造血干细胞移植产生不利影响.因此,对行造血干细胞移植的β-地中海贫血患儿综合进行血清铁蛋白、肝脏及心脏铁过载的评估非常必要.%BACKGROUND: The majority of children with β-thalassemia major have iron overload, and iron overload may have negative effects on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of liver and cardiac iron overload detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T2* on HLA-identical allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in children with β-thalassemia major. METHODS: Eighty-one children with β-thalassemia major who were over 3 years of age and could cooperate with MRI detection were subjected to liver and heart MRI T2* tests before or after HLA-identical allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. According to the test results, we calculated the liver and cardiac iron content, defined as an indicator of liver and heart iron overload. Then, there was a correlation analysis between the liver and cardiac iron content and serum ferritin, time of hematopoietic reconstitution, mortality rate, implantation rate and the morbidity of transplantation related complications, such as graft-versus-host disease, infections, autoimmune hemolysis, pancytopenia, hepatic veno-occlusive disease, septicemia. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The liver iron content was positively correlated with the time of hemoglobin implantation (r=0.229, P=0.043), and the cardiac iron content were positively correlated with the mortality rate (r=0.266, P=0.017); the serum ferritin level was negatively correlated with the implantation rate (r=-0.289, P=0.009), and positively correlated with the morbidity of septicemia (r=0.251, P=0.024) and pancytopenia (r=0.276, P=0.013). Therefore, iron overload exerts negative effects on HLA-identical allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in β-thalassemia major children, and it is necessary to detect serum ferritin level and assess liver and cardiac iron overload before cell transplantation.
