Anemia is one of the common accompanying symptoms of tumors. Whether chemotherapy-related anemia (CRA) or anemia caused by the disease itself, it greatly affects patients' survival rate, quality of life, and even their confidence in treatment. Currently, Western medicine mainly treats CRA through blood product transfusion and the use of erythropoietin, which can rapidly increase hemoglobin levels but are associated with strong dependence and short duration of efficacy. Therefore, exploring the theoretical basis, treatment methods, and advantages of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in managing CRA has become a focus of current research. According to recent clinical observations and related reports, TCM demonstrates favorable clinical efficacy in the treatment of CRA. By reviewing literature on classic TCM prescriptions for CRA, this article summarizes clinical cases, relevant pharmacological studies, and possible mechanisms of action. These analyses show that classic TCM prescriptions for CRA are mainly tonifying formulas, primarily those that tonify qi and blood and strengthen the spleen and kidney, and they offer clear therapeutic efficacy, high safety, and the potential to reduce toxicity and enhance effectiveness. In addition to tonifying formulas, modern prescriptions for CRA, such as those that promote blood circulation and remove stasis, promote new blood generation, and exert detoxifying and anticancer effects, have also been confirmed by clinical research to provide good therapeutic outcomes. By summarizing and analyzing the efficacy and mechanisms of classic TCM prescriptions for CRA and the clinical research status of modern formulas, this article aims to provide new strategies for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of CRA.

Objective: To analyze the serological characteristics of anti-Mur antibodies and investigate the distribution frequency of the Mur antigen among voluntary blood donors in Shiyan, thereby providing a basis for guiding clinical transfusion and establishing a Mur blood type database. Methods: ABO blood grouping of donors and patients was performed using an automated blood typing analyzer and the gel card method, respectively. Unexpected antibody screening and identification were performed using the saline, tube anti-human globulin, and polybrene methods. The specificity of anti-Mur antibodies was confirmed using Fisher's exact probability test. Plasma treated with 2-mercaptoethanol was used to distinguish IgM and IgG antibodies. IgM and IgG anti-Mur titers were determined by the saline tube method and the anti-human globulin tube method, respectively, at 4℃, room temperature, and 37℃. A total of 1 659 donor red blood cell samples were initially screened for the Mur antigen phenotype using three samples of human-derived anti-Mur plasma by the micro-tube method. Donors who tested positive for Mur antigen were further tested by the direct antiglobulin test (DAT); those with negative results were confirmed for Mur antigen by the gel card and polybrene methods. Results: Three blood samples were identified to contain mixed IgG and IgM anti-Mur antibodies. The titers of both IgM and IgG anti-Mur antibodies were highest at 4℃, intermediate at room temperature, and lowest at 37℃. The positive frequency of the Mur antigen among voluntary blood donors in Shiyan was 1.99% (33/1 659). Conclusion: anti-Mur antibodies were detected in both blood donors and patients in our region. The Mur antigen shows a certain distribution frequency among voluntary blood donors in Shiyan. Screening for the Mur blood type and establishing a corresponding database could enhance transfusion safety.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Guben Jiedu prescription (GBJ) on the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of lung cancer A549 cells and to explore the mechanism based on phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway. MethodThe GBJ-medicated serum was prepared. Cell viability was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay to screen the optimal doses of GBJ-medicated serum for further experiment. A549 cells were classified into normal serum group, low-, medium-, and high-dose GBJ-medicated serum groups (2.5%, 5%, and 10% GBJ-medicated serum), PI3K/Akt pathway activator SC79 group, and high-dose GBJ-medicated serum + SC79 group. Cell migration ability was measured by wound-healing assay. The protein expression of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin, Akt, phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt), glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), and phosphorylated GSK-3β (p-GSK-3β) was detected by Western blotting, and the mRNA expression of N-cadherin and vimentin by Real-time PCR. ResultCompared with the normal serum, GBJ-medicated serum (2.5%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 40%) decreased the viability of A549 cells (P<0.05), and 10%, 5%, 2.5% GBJ-medicated serum was respectively selected for the follow-up experiment. The migration ability of cells in the high-, medium-, and low-dose GBJ-medicated serum groups was lower than that in the normal serum group. The expression of N-cadherin mRNA and Vimentin mRNA in A549 cells in the three GBJ-medicated serum groups was significantly lower than that in the normal serum group (P<0.01). The protein expression of E-cadherin was higher in the high- and medium-dose GBJ-medicated serum groups than in the normal serum group (P<0.01). The three GBJ-medicated serum groups showed lower protein expression of N-cadherin, vimentin, p-Akt, and p-GSK-3β (P<0.01) and lower expression of p-Akt/Akt, p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β (P<0.05, P<0.01) than normal serum group. Compared with the SC79 group, the high-dose GBJ-medicated serum group demonstrated high protein expression of E-cadherin (P<0.01) and low expression of N-cadherin, vimentin, p-Akt, p-GSK-3β, and p-Akt/Akt, p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β (P<0.01). Compared with the high-dose GBJ-medicated serum group, high-dose GBJ-medicated serum + SC79 group showed low protein expression of E-cadherin (P<0.01) and high protein expression of N-cadherin, vimentin, p-Akt, p-GSK-3β, p-Akt/Akt, and p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β (P<0.01). ConclusionGBJ can inhibit the migration and EMT of lung cancer A549 cells by regulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Ocular opsoclonus is a rare disorder of the saccadic system, in which fixation is continuously interrupted by involuntary, chaotic, rapid and multi-directional saccadic eye movements, interrupting the gaze-holding function, leading to“dancing eyes”. Ocular opsoclonus has rarely been reported in China. A case of ocular opsoclonus associated with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis is reported to improve awareness about the ocular sign. The patient′s condition reached the peak at the 5th week. He developed ocular opsoclonus on the basis of nonconvulsive status epilepticus, accompanied by frequent involuntary movements of the mouth and limbs. The ocular opsoclonus gradually relieved on the 7th week with the active treatment.

Objective:
To learn the epidemiological characteristics of fall mortality among the elderly people in Taizhou,and to provide basis for intervention strategies of fall in the elderly.
Methods:
Data of fall mortality among residents aged 60 years or over in Taizhou from 2016 to 2018,collected from Zhejiang Chronic Disease Surveillance Information Management System,was used for analysis of time,population and geographical characteristics of fall deaths. The epidemic trend of fall mortality in the elderly was described by annual percentage change(APC).
Results:
From 2016 to 2018,3 699 cases of fall death in Taizhou were reported,the crude and standardized mortality were 116.90/100 000 and 97.88/100 000. The standardized mortality of fall in women was 106.11/100 000,which was higher than 90.13/100 000 in men(P<0.05). The standardized mortality of fall in rural residents was 131.20/100 000,which was higher than 28.15/100 000 in urban residents(P<0.05). The mortality of fall in residents aged 65-69 years from 2016 to 2018 showed an upward trend(APC=4.20%,P<0.05),while the mortality trend of fall in other age groups was not statistically significant(P>0.05).
Conclusion
Fall was the first cause of injury death in the elderly aged 60 years or over in Taizhou. Females and rural residents have relatively higher fall mortality.
