摘要
The present study investigated the kinetics involved in collection CD34(+) cells and colony-forming units-granulocyte-macrophages (CFU-GMs) during large-volume leukapheresis (LVL) in pediatric patients with malignancies and attempted to correlate the number of cells with the processed blood volume. In addition, adult cases were also examined using the same continuous flow blood cell separator to investigate the difference between children and adults. We examined 5 pediatric patients who had undergone chemotherapy before apheresis and 3 adult patients who were scheduled to undergo chemotherapy following apheresis. Collection was performed using a continuous-flow blood cell separator. Patients received granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) to mobilize peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs), except in the case of acute myelocytic leukemia. The processed blood volume was set to approximately 300 mi in children and 500 ml/kg of body weight in adults and the leukapheresis component was collected when approximately 50 mi of blood was processed. Six sequential samples were taken from each component in pediatric patients and 10 sequential samples from adults to obtain CD34(+) cells and CFU-GMs. Counts of mononuclear cells (MNCs) and CD34(+) cells in peripheral blood were measured just before and after each apheresis. Hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelet counts in peripheral blood were monitored during apheresis. A total of 11 collections were performed for pediatric patients. The mean total CD34(+) cells and CFU-GMs in each fractionated yield did not show a remarkable increase with increasing volume of blood processed. In adults, the kinetics of CD34(+) cells in each fractionated yield were determined on a continuous basis and CFU-GMs increased during the course of apheresis. In pediatric patients, circulating MNCs and CD34(+) cells were stable during apheresis, whereas in adult patients these cells decreased in the peripheral blood after apheresis. In both pediatric and adult patients, the platelet count in the peripheral blood decreased after apheresis. In contrast to adults, in pediatric patients who had been undergone chemotherapy, the collection efficiency did not appear to increase with increased volume of blood processed. Moreover, there was a marked platelet reduction in peripheral blood following apheresis. We conclude that the kinetics of collecting PBSCs by continuous flow blood cell separator is different between pediatric cases and adults cases. The application of LVL may be prudent in some children with malignancies, including those with a low platelet count and low body weight.
