Since the first approval of tisagenlecleucel in 2017, pediatric and young adult patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) may receive this CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy. We report real-world data from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (>2.5 years of follow-up). As of 4 May 2022, 768 patients with B-ALL had received tisagenlecleucel. Patients aged ≥18 and < 18 years of age (including those < 3 years) were treated during first relapse (26.6% and 26.7% [< 3 years, 44.8%], respectively) or primary refractory disease (12.4% and 12.1% [< 3 years, 15.5%], respectively) with 17.6% and 11.6% (< 3 years, 13.8%), respectively, having high disease burden (≥50% bone marrow [BM] blasts) and 20.2% and 20.2% (< 3 years, 13.8%), respectively, having low disease burden (>0 to < 5% BM blasts). Among patients with ≥12 months postinfusion follow-up (n = 578; median follow-up, 32.1 months), the best overall response of complete remission/complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery was 86.0%. The 12-month relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were 61.8% and 79.4%, respectively, whereas the 24-month RFS and OS were 50.3% and 63.8%, respectively. Age (< 18 years) and disease burden (< 50% BM blasts) were associated with better outcomes. Previous inotuzumab therapy and KMT2A rearrangement were associated with worse outcomes. Older patients (≥18 years) experienced a higher rate of any-grade cytokine release syndrome (CRS) associated with higher disease burden before infusion. Any-grade CRS and neurotoxicity were lower in patients aged < 3 years. Extended follow-up continues to demonstrate high rates of RFS and favorable safety in this population.

Impact Of Transplant Conditioning, Npm1 Mutations, And Measurable Residual Disease In Flt3-Itd Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Mark J Levis, Geoffrey L Uy, Et Al.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

We conducted a post hoc analysis of data from Blood and Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network 1506 (MORPHO), a randomized trial of gilteritinib vs placebo as posttransplantation maintenance for patients with FLT3-ITD-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), focusing the interactions between conditioning regimen intensity, measurable residual disease (MRD), and NPM1 comutation status reported from diagnosis. Comparing FLT3-ITD MRD before and after conditioning, there was no difference between myeloablative conditioning (MAC) and reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) in eradication or reduction of FLT3-ITD MRD. For participants who were FLT3-ITD MRD negative before HCT, there was no difference in …

The Perspective Of Stylistic Discrimination And The Strategy Of Adherence To Style In Ming And Qing Dynasty Ci Rhyme Studies, Xuantu Du Oct 2025

The Perspective Of Stylistic Discrimination And The Strategy Of Adherence To Style In Ming And Qing Dynasty Ci Rhyme Studies, Xuantu Du

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

There were different perspectives of stylistic discrimination in the study of ci rhyme in the Ming and Qing dynasties. From the mid-Ming to the mid-Qing, the objects of differentiation included metrical poetry, qu-poetry or yuefu poetry. Scholars often employed techniques of breaking styles and linking them to other forms, showcasing a blend of differentiation and integration. From the mid- to the late Qing dynasty, the trend gradually returned to the style of ci-poetry, emphasizing the internal exploration of rhyme schemes, and aimed to distinguish styles without disrupting them. These varied perspectives were driven by differing strategies of adherence …


A Probe Into Xie Lingyun's Idea Of Disposition-Compliance And Spirit-Disposition Connection In Poetry And His Creative Practice, Jing Wang Oct 2025

A Probe Into Xie Lingyun's Idea Of Disposition-Compliance And Spirit-Disposition Connection In Poetry And His Creative Practice, Jing Wang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

In his work “An Ode to Life in the Mountain (Shanju fu),” Xie Lingyun explicitly articulated key elements of his poetry thought, including “expressing will” and “conveying the spirit (shen) by complying with one's disposition (xingqing).” This extended the concept of complying with one's disposition beyond Xie Lingyun's reclusive tendencies and into the realm of literary creation, offering a comprehensive view of his poetry thought. Drawing from The Book of Songs, The Songs of Chu, and the poetry of the Han and Wei dynasties, Xie Lingyun inherited the spirit of employing comparison …


In Search Of The Northwest: Representation Of The Frontier And Creation Of The Modern Landscape In Republican China, Xiaoyu Li Oct 2025

In Search Of The Northwest: Representation Of The Frontier And Creation Of The Modern Landscape In Republican China, Xiaoyu Li

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, China experienced significant transformations in its state structure and territorial attributes, largely due to the expansion and impact of Western colonialism. One of its primary challenges was to make the shift from the territorial conceptualizations and allegiance patterns of the ancient Chinese tributary system to those of modern sovereignty. This evolution underscored the significance of the ‘frontier,’ which became a focal point and a challenge in 20th-century Chinese political life. It also motivated literary and artistic exploration of the Northwest frontier during the 1930s and 1940s. This article begins its discussion from …


What The Compilation And Cataloguing Of Texts In The Han Period Meant For The Study Of Literary Styles: An Observation Centering On Liu Xiang And Liu Xin, Guanlan Li Oct 2025

What The Compilation And Cataloguing Of Texts In The Han Period Meant For The Study Of Literary Styles: An Observation Centering On Liu Xiang And Liu Xin, Guanlan Li

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Han scholars, represented by Liu Xiang and his son Liu Xin, undertook a systematic collation, compilation and categorization of the growing number of texts. Seven Summaries (Qilüe) assigned each work from the early period to the late Western Han period to different intellectual lineages as understood by Liu Xiang and Liu Xin, creating textual lineages dominated by the Confucian classics. In turn, these textual linages established theoretical frameworks for later literary styles such as the idea that “the classics are the source of all writing”. Categorized Catalogs (Bielu) and Seven Summaries gave specific descriptions of the nature, various sources, meaning …


The Rise Of The Concept Of “Aesthetic Categories” In Modern China, Wei Han Oct 2025

The Rise Of The Concept Of “Aesthetic Categories” In Modern China, Wei Han

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The concept of aesthetic categories (meixue fanchou) serves as a cornerstone of Chinese aesthetics. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the terms “aesthetics” and “categories” entered the Chinese academic discourse as loanwords from Japanese, but they were rarely used in conjunction. Discussions surrounding “categories” within the relam of “aesthetics” remained confined to the Western and philosophical frameworks. However, following the 1920s, phrases such as “aesthetic-perception categories” (meigan fanchou), “categories of Chinese aesthetics”, and “aesthetic-appreciation categories” (shenmei fanchou) emerged, signaling not only a more equitable dialogue between China and the West but also …


The Disruptive Nature Of Listening: Feminine Noises And Sound Politics In The Platform Music Show The Big Band 2, Shuwen Qu Oct 2025

The Disruptive Nature Of Listening: Feminine Noises And Sound Politics In The Platform Music Show The Big Band 2, Shuwen Qu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Rock music has been a central arena for the production of noises in music industries. The singing of rockers, carrying gendered subject identities, harbors a wealth of gendered noises. “The Big Band 2,” a variety show launched by Aiqiyi and involving indie record companies and musicians, presents a contested soundscape of Chinese gendered rock noises, creating moments that exemplify the “disruptive nature of listening.” It also provides a critical perspective for exploring alternative expressions of female rock singers and contemplating gender order and social ideology. Drawing upon theories of musicology, gender studies and cultural studies, this paper introduces a theoretical …


Not A “Loudspeaker”: Reevaluating Qian Xuantong's Role In The May Fourth New Culture Movement, Xiaohui Wang Oct 2025

Not A “Loudspeaker”: Reevaluating Qian Xuantong's Role In The May Fourth New Culture Movement, Xiaohui Wang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Qian Xuantong borrowed and transformed the Confucian classics and philology during the New Culture Movement to integrate Chinese traditional knowledge into the May Fourth ideological revolution, literary revolution, and Chinese written character revolution. Firstly, Qian Xuantong transformed the resources of Confucian classics from figures like Zhang Taiyan and Kang Youwei, reducing them to mere historical materials and denying the value of all Confucian classics. Such an approach enabled the rejection of Chinese traditional culture from within the Confucian classics, significantly strengthening the May Fourth ideology. Secondly, as a philologist, Qian Xuantong employed the principles of philology, phonetics, and exegesis to …


Why Did Heidegger Mark A Cross On “Art”: “Notes On Klee” And The Antinomy Of Art, Miaomiao Wu Oct 2025

Why Did Heidegger Mark A Cross On “Art”: “Notes On Klee” And The Antinomy Of Art, Miaomiao Wu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

While Heidegger identified art as the beacon of hope amidst the technological era's crises, his action of inscribing a cross over the word “art” in his 1950s manuscript, “Notes on Klee,” symbolizes a profound and creative engagement with art's essence and its paradoxes. Through analyzing “Notes on Klee” and other related texts, it can be found that this “cross on art” has two opposite but complementary meanings. Negatively, it signifies art's resistance to metaphysical representation and experiential modalities. Positively, it suggests art's potential for self-referential transformation towards its essence as “” (techne).Thus it embodies the antinomy in Heidegger's philosophy of …


Thomas Crow And Avant-Garde Theory From A Cultural Studies Perspective, Wei Jiang Oct 2025

Thomas Crow And Avant-Garde Theory From A Cultural Studies Perspective, Wei Jiang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The hostility of aesthetic modernism to mass culture has been a central position in avant-garde theory from the Frankfurt School to the October Group. Although mass culture has already been rehabilitated through a re-evaluation and critique of modernism, no avant-garde theory has achieved reconciliation with mass culture. Inspired by cultural studies theories, Thomas Crow argues that potential criticality is already embodied in mass culture and that, by appropriating it, avant-garde art can offer new solutions to art while expressing an implicit social critique. Crow re-defines the concept of the “avant-garde” to allow for a historical narrative that makes room for …


The Aesthetics Of Duchamp's Artistic Practice: Further Exploration Of Kantian Aesthetics In The Face Of Postmodern Art, Zeqing Wang Oct 2025

The Aesthetics Of Duchamp's Artistic Practice: Further Exploration Of Kantian Aesthetics In The Face Of Postmodern Art, Zeqing Wang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Marcel Duchamp's artistic endeavors not only challenge Kantian aesthetics but also reflect a certain continuity with it. Duchamp embodies the paradox of the genius who both establishes and transcends indescribable rules. These rules are not templates for imitation by other artists but exemplars for the genesis of new norms. Driven by skepticism towards other agents, Duchamp crafted his own set of artistic principles, valuing innovation and autonomy. However, his venture did not achieve a harmonious integration of imagination and intellect, severing the traditional lineage of aesthetic appreciation without addressing its universality. This led to an untamed creative subjectivity, perpetually embroiled …


How To Reasonably Reconstruct The Fictional World In The Text?—Research On The Possible Worlds Literary Theory, Hua Zhong, Nan Li Oct 2025

How To Reasonably Reconstruct The Fictional World In The Text?—Research On The Possible Worlds Literary Theory, Hua Zhong, Nan Li

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

How does one reconstruct the fictional world in the text reasonably? Before the emergence of the possible worlds literary theory, this issue was not clearly or sufficiently elaborated. The possible worlds literary theory holds the following ideas. Firstly, the idea that the fictional world enjoys independent ontological status, as well as certain independence and autonomy, allows readers to reconstruct the fictional world more reasonably by means of symbols and textual information. Secondly, readers follow two “intentional functions” to reconstruct the fictional world, with the authentication function determining the facts in the fictional world and the saturation function determining the density …


The Realistic Tradition In Xiqu'S Stage Art: Insights From Kong Shangren's Peach Blossom Fan, Yaxin Chen Oct 2025

The Realistic Tradition In Xiqu'S Stage Art: Insights From Kong Shangren's Peach Blossom Fan, Yaxin Chen

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Much of the contemporary praise for Kong Shangren's Peach Blossom Fan focuses on the literary merits, but the stage art remains understudied. Kong Shangren's meticulous approach to stagecraft, particularly his adoption of a realistic style, forms an intentional and integral part of his artistic vision. His use of large, realistic props such as boats and carts has a longstanding tradition in xiqu, persisting through the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, unaffected by the advent of virtual performance styles. The realistic scenery, which reached its zenith at the end of the Ming dynasty, was extensively utilized in performances at the …


Mirror In Painting And Painting In Mirror: Mirror Images And Narrative Implications In The Engraved Illustrations Of Ming And Qing Xiqu And Fictions, Wenwen Han, Diyong Long Oct 2025

Mirror In Painting And Painting In Mirror: Mirror Images And Narrative Implications In The Engraved Illustrations Of Ming And Qing Xiqu And Fictions, Wenwen Han, Diyong Long

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Mirrors, as a tool for presenting images, often have a mysterious quality. From the initial reflection to the later symbolic metaphor, mirrors often appear in the illustrations of popular fictions and xiqu in the Ming and Qing dynasties due to their practical imaging function and multiple symbolic meanings. As a physical carrier, painters use the images reflected by mirrors to create a different image of space-time in the illustrated world. It symbolizes deep emotions and characters' destinies that were not clearly expressed in the illustrations, creating a special visual image of “painting in the mirror”. As a pictorial symbol, the …


From Rewriting Civilizational History To Rewriting Literary History, Shunqing Cao, Xiaoyang Guo Oct 2025

From Rewriting Civilizational History To Rewriting Literary History, Shunqing Cao, Xiaoyang Guo

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

In today's international context, how to establish a Chinese discourse and an autonomous knowledge system is a major challenge facing the academic community. Historically, discourses on civilization have been marred by a prevailing Western-centric bias, with Western scholars largely monopolizing the authority over narratives of civilizational progress. Such narratives frequently misrepresent or deviate from the historical realities of China. The hegemony of Western discourse permeates various disciplines, leading to a phenomenon of “aphasia” within the humanities and social sciences. In response to this phenomenon, a call was made to “rewrite the history of civilization” and “rewrite the history of disciplines.” …


Formation And Dramatic Significance Of The “Separation” System In Ming Dynasty Southern Opera Scripts, Zhiyong Chen Oct 2025

Formation And Dramatic Significance Of The “Separation” System In Ming Dynasty Southern Opera Scripts, Zhiyong Chen

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The practice of “fenchu” (separation) marks a pivotal development in the Ming dynasty's chuanqi playwriting system, manifesting as either “implicit” or “explicit” separation within early Southern Opera texts. The late Ming period saw enhancements in the separation methodologies within actors' performance manuscripts and reader-oriented printed editions, improving upon the character entry and exit strategies from the Song, Yuan, and early Ming operas. This led to the formulation of separation standards that reconcile character transitions, scene consistency, and narrative cohesion. The emergence of the separation mechanism in Southern Opera is attributed to multifaceted causes: for performance scripts, it facilitated …


No Fairy Tale Is Not Black: The Becoming And Trauma In Fairy Tale And Fairy-Tale Films, Yuhui Jiang Oct 2025

No Fairy Tale Is Not Black: The Becoming And Trauma In Fairy Tale And Fairy-Tale Films, Yuhui Jiang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The presence of the black element in fairy tales and fairy-tale films has always been a challenging issue, sparkling debates on whether these narratives create a utopia of brightness and dreams or a dystopia of darkness and strangeness. Addressing this question necessitates revisiting the definition and history of fairy tales, uncovering the deep-rooted fixation on the binary opposition between adults and children. While Gilles Deleuze's concept of “becoming-child” offers a profound response, it tends to lean towards affirmative becoming, overlooking negative traumatic experiences and favoring abstract speculation over detailed living conditions analysis. This paper shifts the focus to negative aspects …
