A simple random sampling method was used to select 182 health blood donors who participated in voluntary blood donation at the Shenzhen Blood Center in the same period. Among them, there were 101 male donors and 71 females; and age was (38±19) years.

The peripheral blood lymphocytes from 54 patients in AL group and 64 healthy blood donors in control group were separated by density gradient centrifugation. The relative expressions of HLA-E on lymphocytes were detected by flow cytometry.

They were divided into DSI combined chemotherapy group (n=7) and chemotherapy alone group (n=10) according to different treatment after relapse. The basic clinical data of patients with relapsed AL after allo-HSCT were collected by retrospective analysis. The infusion dose of DSI, treatment results, adverse reactions and survival outcomes were observed in both groups. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the overall survival (OS) and survival after first relapse (SAR) curves of two groups. The OS and SAR rate were compared by Log-rank test between two groups. This study protocol was approved by the ethics committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University (Approoal No. XJTU1AF2010LSL-020).

The median age of patients in chemotherapy group was 22 years (15-37 years). The fusion gene was positive in 4 cases, and 2 cases had GVHD. ② In DSI combined chemotherapy group, 5 patients received single DSI treatment after conventional chemotherapy, and 2 patients received DSI treatment in every two weeks. Three patients (3 / 7) achieved CR. There were 4 patients with grade Ⅰ ~Ⅱ aGVHD of skin and liver, 3 patients with grade Ⅳ myelosuppression and pneumonia. Up to the end of follow-up, 1 patient survived and 6 died in DSI combined chemotherapy group. ③In the chemotherapy group, 3 patients (3 / 10) achieved CR after treatment. Up to the end of follow-up, 4 patients survived and 6 patients died. ④ The 1-year and 3-years OS rates of patients in DSI combined chemotherapy group were 57.1% and 19.0%, respectively, and those of patients in chemotherapy group were 66.7% and 17.8%, respectively. There were no significant differences between two groups (χ2 = 2.122, 0.136; P=0.58, 0.68).
