Cancer has become a significant global public health issue, severely impacting public health and societal development. Despite advances in tumor treatment methods in recent years and a gradual decline in cancer mortality rates, drug-related adverse reactions and drug resistance remain substantial challenges. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has demonstrated significant clinical efficacy in cancer treatment and small side effects, making it widely applied in the field of oncology. Xuefu Zhuyutang, derived from Yilin Gaicuo, is known for its abilities to invigorate blood circulation, dispel blood stasis, promote Qi flow, and alleviate pain. It was specifically formulated by the esteemed WANG Qingren of the Qing dynasty for the "blood stasis syndrome in the blood mansion" and is commonly used to treat Qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome. Clinical studies have shown that Xuefu Zhuyutang, when combined with conventional Western medications, produces significant effects in the treatment of malignant tumors such as liver cancer, lung cancer, and cervical cancer. It substantially reduces the incidence of adverse reactions following Western treatments, including radiation esophagitis, radiation encephalopathy, radiation-induced oral mucositis, and edema. Additionally, it alleviates cancer-related pain and fever, blood hypercoagulability, and associated complications such as depression and anxiety, and also mitigates chemotherapy-induced side effects like hand-foot syndrome. Basic research has demonstrated its potential anti-tumor mechanisms, including the inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway activation, suppression of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway activation, and anti-tumor angiogenesis. Pharmacological studies have revealed that its active components inhibit tumor cell proliferation and migration, induce tumor cell apoptosis, suppress tumor angiogenesis, enhance the cytotoxicity of natural killer cells against tumors, improve the tumor microenvironment, and regulate immune function. This paper reviewed the latest research progress on Xuefu Zhuyutang in the treatment of malignant tumors from four aspects: theoretical exploration, clinical studies, mechanisms of action, and pharmacological basis, aiming to provide insights and methods for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors.

An analysis of 24 144 norovirus sequences from Asia and Russia deposited in GenBank between 1995 and 2023 was conducted,to understand the temporal and spatial variations in norovirus genotypes in these regions.Norovirus sequences from Asia and Russia were downloaded in FASTA format from GenBank for the years 1995-2023,and analyzed in Excel,R language,and GraphPad Prism for data visualization.The number of norovirus sequences submitted to GenBank increased annually from 2004 and peaked in 2015.Notably,China and Japan contributed 62.3%of all submitted norovirus sequences.These sequences encompassed 31 capsid genotypes(C-type),with GⅠ accounting for 9%and GⅡ accounting for 90%.Additionally,49 polymerase types(P-type)were identified,along with 68 combinations of CP types;among the analyzed recombinant sequences(4 460 entries in total),approxi-mately 41%belonged to three predominant recombinant strains:GⅡ.2[P16],GⅡ.4[P31],and GⅡ.4[P16].This analysis provides valuable insights into the distribution characteristics of norovirus genotypes across Asia and Russia over time,thereby supporting vac-cine design and evaluation efforts.

Objective To analyze the changes in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration(nAMD)before and after treatment with faricimab or ranibizumab.Methods A prospective study was conducted on 20 nAMD patients(20 eyes)who received treatment at the Ophthalmology Department of Wuhu Hospital affiliated with East China Normal University.nAMD was diagnosed with fluorescein fundus angiography,indocyanine green angiography,and optical coherence tomography(OCT).The central macular thickness(CMT),choroidal neovascularization(CNV)cross-sectional area(CSA),and CNV blood flow area(CFA)of the patients at baseline and after 4,12,and 24 weeks of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)treatment.The changes in index at different time periods and the differences in results between the two groups were studied.Results There were no statistically significant differences in age,gender,CNV type,OCT,and optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA)morphology between the two groups of patients at baseline(all P>0.05).CMT,CSA,and CFA decreased in both groups after treatment(all P<0.05).CMT showed a gradual decrease in both groups after 4 and 12 weeks of treatment(all P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in CMT between 12 and 24 weeks after treatment in the faricimab group(P=0.096).In the ranibizumab group,CMT increased 24 weeks after treatment,compared with that 12 weeks after treatment(P=0.004).CSA and CFA de-creased in both groups after 12 weeks of treatment(both P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in CSA and CFA between 12 and 24 weeks after treatment in the faricimab group(P=0.085,0.095).In the ranibizumab group,CSA and CFA increased 24 weeks after treatment,compared with those 12 week after treatment(P=0.001,0.000).Inter-group comparisons showed that the CMT of patients in the faricimab group was lower than that in the ranibizumab group af-ter 24 weeks of treatment(P=0.022).There was no statistically significant difference in CSA and CFA at each time period for both groups(all P>0.05).Conclusion Faricimab and ranibizumab have similar efficacy in the treatment of nAMD patients,but faricimab is superior to ranibizumab in sustained effects.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of patients with combined pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PJP ) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT ). Methods:The clinical manifestations,laboratory tests,imaging findings,and treatment outcomes of 21 allo-HSCT patients with PJP diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and Soochow Hopes Hematology Hospital from July 2018 to July 2023 were retrospective analyzed.Results:Among the 21 patients,the male-to-female ratio was 2.5:1,and the median age was 36 years old with a range of 15-62 years.The median time to diagnosis of PJP after transplantation was 225 days.The clinical manifestations lack specificity,and the main clinical symptoms include respiratory symptoms (dyspnea,cough,sputum,etc.) and fever.Laboratory examination revealed peripheral blood lymphocyte counts decreased in 15 cases,CD4+T lymphocyte absolute values less than 200 cells/μl in 19 patients,C-reactive protein levels significantly increased in 20 patients,lactate dehydrogenase levels increased in 14 patients,and 1,3-β-D-glucan detection levels increased in 14 patients.Chest CT manifestations can be divided into three types:ground glass type,nodular type,and mixed type.Among them,the incidence of ground glass type was the highest (18/21),with 2 cases of nodular type and 1 case of mixed type.The sequence number of Pneumocystis jiroveci was detected through mNGS (15-57570),and 11 patients had mixed infections.In terms of treatment,TMP-SMX,Caspofungin,and methylprednisolone were administered,and 17 patients achieved improvement in their condition.Four patients died,all of whom died from respiratory failure.Conclusion:PJP is a critically ill condition after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation,and diagnosis is difficult.Early diagnosis can achieve better prognosis.The sensitivity of mNGS in diagnosing PJP is high,providing the possibility of early and accurate diagnosis for clinical practice,which is worthy of application and promotion.
