The initial promising report of a prophylactic effect of UDCA on VOD after stem cell transplantation was confirmed in this prospective study, and UDCA was highly effective in preventing VOD, which occurred in only 3.0% in the UDCA‐treated group, as opposed to 18.5% inthe control group.
Efficiency of high-dose cytarabine added to CY/TBI in cord blood transplantation for myeloid malignancy.
This study is the first to show the superiority of HDCA/CY/ TBI to CY/TBI in CBT for AML/MDS, and a large-scale prospective study is warranted to establish new conditioning regimens including HDCA administration.
Different effects of HLA disparity on transplant outcomes after single-unit cord blood transplantation between pediatric and adult patients with leukemia
Results showed that HLA matching in combination with total nucleated cell dose positively affects survival, and an increased number of mismatched HLA loci correlated with an increased risk of mortality in children and adults.

There were no effects of KIR ligand incompatibility in the GVH direction on single CBT outcomes for acute leukemia patients without anti-thymocyte globulin use, and it is necessary to pay attention to KIR incomp compatibility in the HVG direction for engraftment.
