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.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of anterior versus posterior app-roach to posterior rectus sheath in laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal sublay (TES) for diastasis recti combined with umbilical hernia.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 45 patients with diastasis recti abdominis combined with umbilical hernia who were admitted to The University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital and 24 patients with diastasis recti abdominis combined with umbilical hernia who were admitted to Shenzhen People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2024 were collected. There were 6 males and 63 females, aged (50±14)years. All 69 patients underwent laparoscopic TES. Among them, 36 patients under-going the anterior approach to the posterior rectus sheath were assigned to anterior approach group, and 33 patients undergoing the posterior approach were assigned to posterior approach group. Observation indicators: (1) surgical conditions; (2) follow-up conditions. Comparison of measurement data with normal distribution between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Results:(1) Surgical conditions. All patients in both groups successfully completed the surgery. The type of mesh placed was self-fixating mesh in all cases, with no conversion to open surgery, and routine drainage tube placement was performed postoperatively. For the anterior approach group and the posterior approach group, the operative time was (167±44)minutes and (214±53)minutes, the maximum separation width of the rectus abdominis was (3.57±0.79)cm and (4.08±0.99)cm, respectively, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( t=-4.00, -2.36, P<0.05). For the anterior approach group and the posterior approach group, cases with peritoneal injury were 26 and 29, the umbilical hernia defect diameter was (2.15±0.46)cm and (2.24±0.52) cm, the postoperative drainage volume was (62±22)mL and (72±36)mL, respectively, showing no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( χ2=2.61, t=-0.76, -1.50, P>0.05). (2) Follow-up conditions. Among the 69 patients, 61 were followed up, including 31 cases in the anterior approach group and 30 cases in the posterior approach group. The duration of follow-up was 31(range, 8-44)months for the anterior approach group and 35(range, 9-60)months for the posterior approach group, respectively. No recurrence (abdominal wall bulge), seroma, chronic pain, or infection occurred in either group, and all patients were able to complete the trunk flexion movement with hands behind the head. Conclusion:Both the anterior and posterior approaches to posterior rectus sheath are safe and effective in laparoscopic TES for diastasis recti abdominis combined with umbilical hernia, among which the anterior approach to posterior rectus sheath has a shorter operation time.

Objective To observe the clinical manifestations of 3 cases with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-associated disease and anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis antibody overlapping syndrome (MNOS), aiming to expand the understanding of the clinical spectrum of such syndromes. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on the data of 3 patients with MNOS who were positive for both MOG antibodies and NMDAR antibodies. Clinical features, neuroimaging characteristics, and outcomes were collected, and cell-based assay (CBA) technique was used for diagnosis. Results One case presented both positive MOG antibodies and NMDAR antibodies, but the clinical manifestations were typical symptoms of anti-NMDAR encephalitis. In one case, the clinical and cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of demyelinating disease recurred after anti-NMDAR encephalitis, with atypical symptoms of MNOS such as numbness and weakness in limbs, blurred vision, and diplopia. The last case presented both positive MOG antibodies and NMDAR antibodies, but the clinical manifestations were typical symptoms of anti-NMDAR encephalitis. In MNOS, MOG antibody-associated disease and anti-NMDAR encephalitis may appear simultaneously or sequentially, with epilepsy being the most common symptom. Cranial MRI findings showed that the patients presented and mainly involved supratentorial lesions, which may also involve the brainstem, but no spinal cord lesions were found. All patients showed slightly abnormal cerebrospinal fluid. Patients showed a good response to first-line immunotherapy during the acute phase of the disease, with a favorable prognosis. But most patients were prone to relapse. Conclusion In MNOS patients, anti-NMDAR encephalitis may present with clinical and(or)MRI features of demyelinating disease simultaneously or sequentially. The clinical manifestations of patients are complex and diverse. Patients with atypical symptoms require to improving the understanding of MNOS and timely treatment.
