Leukemic transformation (LT) free survival was studied in 30 patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). In 15 cases, 4-6 micrograms/day of 1-hydroxyvitamin D3 was administered, for a median duration of 17 months (D-group), other subjects had no therapy (N group). LT free survival of the D group had significant advantage over that of the N group according to the Kaplan-Meier method (P less than 0.001). In addition, 7 cases in the N group developed acute leukemia, in contrast to only one in the D group (P less than 0.05). These results suggest that oral administration of 1-hydroxyvitamin D3 prevents the progression of MDS to overt leukemia under the effect of differentiation capacity from blasts to monocytes.
对30例骨髓增生异常综合征(MDS)患者进行了无白血病转化(LT)生存期的研究。15例患者每天服用4 - 6微克的1 - 羟基维生素D3,中位疗程为17个月(D组),其他患者未接受治疗(N组)。根据Kaplan - Meier法,D组的无LT生存期显著优于N组(P < 0.001)。此外,N组有7例发生急性白血病,而D组仅有1例(P < 0.05)。这些结果表明,口服1 - 羟基维生素D3在从原始细胞向单核细胞的分化能力作用下,可预防MDS进展为明显的白血病。
