Based on the theory of "sweet-flavored medicinals retaining and restoring body fluid", this paper proposed that the core pathogenesis of hypercoagulable state in malignant tumors is qi deficiency and fluid consumption, blood stasis and vessels stagnation, which evolves dynamically according to the pattern "qi deficiency → fluid consumption → blood stasis". Accordingly, a staged treatment system is established with the general principle of "fortifying the middle jiao, restoring fluid and activating blood circulation". In the initial stage, invigorating the spleen and boosting qi to generate body fluid, targeting the onset of middle jiao deficiency and body fluid consumption; in the middle stage, nourishing yin and unblocking collaterals to facilitate body fluid circulation, addressing the disorder of body fluid transportation and collateral injury caused by internal dryness; in the late stage, consolidating yin and resolving blood stasis to retain body fluid, resolving yin impairment, fluid exhaustion, and binding of stasis and toxin. By regulating body fluid metabolism to improve the hypercoagulable state, this system is intended to provide insights for the prevention and treatment of hypercoagulable state in malignant tumors with traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective:To observe and preliminarily explore the effects of Deferasirox (DFX) on lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis in human retinal endothelial cells (HREC).Methods:A cell experimental study. Divided the in vitro cultured HREC into normal glucose (NG) group, high glucose (HG) group, NG+DFX group, HG+DFX group, NG+DFX+ferric ammonium citrate (FAC) group, and HG+DFX+FAC group. Light microscope was used to observe the morphology of the cells; cell proliferation was detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, and Calcein-AM staining was used to detect the unstable iron pool (LIP) content; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay reader was used to detect the reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), and oxidized glutathione (GSSG); Western blot was used to detect the relative protein expression of Glutathione Peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and Solute Carrier Family 7 Member 11 (SLC7A11). Two-tailed Student t test was used for comparison between the two groups; one-way ANOVA was used for comparison between multiple groups. Results:Compared with the HG group and the HG+DFX+FAC group, the cell proliferation rate and the contents of GSH and the relative protein expression of GPX4, and SLC7A11 in the HG+DFX group were significantly increased, and the differences were statistically significant ( F=150.70, 21.02, 26.09, 52.62; P<0.001). The contents of LIP, ROS, MDA, and GSSG were significantly decreased, and the differences were statistically significant ( F=807.20, 16.94, 31.62, 19.21; P<0.001). Conclusions:High glucose significantly induces an increase in LIP, lipid peroxidation, and ferroptosis in HREC. Deferasirox inhibits lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis in HREC by downregulating LIP levels.

Objective To optimize the operational steps and processes in mouse cervical heterotopic heart transplantation by modifying the conventional cuff technique for vascular anastomosis and consequently establish a more stable cervical heterotopic heart transplantation model in mice.Methods C57BL/6 male mice (6~8 weeks old,weighing 20~24 g)were categorized into control (conventional cuff technique)and experimental groups (our"Anchoring Node"technique).Time for each surgical step,frequencies of vascular everting and vascular trimming,and the reasons for failure were recorded and compared between the 2 groups. Postoperative survival of heart allograft was determined by daily observation and touching,and the mice with the survival time>48 h were considered as successful model establishment.On the 7th and 14th days after surgery,HE staining was used to observe the pathologic changes in the vascular tissues at anastomosis.The expression of troponin T (cTnT)in the heart on the 7th day was detected with immunofluorescence assay. Results ① In the 25 hearts from each group,2 hearts from the experimental group and 8 from the control group failed,and the survival rate of heart allografts was 92%and 68%,respectively.In the experimental group,arterial and venous everting occurred at an average of 1 .16 times,with an average frequency of trimming of 0.04 times,while in the control group,arterial and venous everting was 2.00 and 2.28 times,respectively,with an average frequency of trimming of 0.21 and 0.46 times,respectively.② Significant differences were observed in the overall duration for cervical heterotopic heart transplantation (77.22±3.82 vs 87.49±8.01 min),vascular separation plus cannulation (30.06±2.68 vs 36.50±6.67 min),and cervical anastomosis (7.31±1 .08 vs 12.34±2.58 min)between the experimental and control groups (all P<0.05).③HE staining displayed that vascular patency was observed in the experimental group on the 7th and 14th days after surgery.④cTnT staining indicated no massive myocardial necrosis was seen in both groups. Conclusion Based on conventional cuff technique for mouse cervical heterotopic heart transplantation,our modified"Anchoring Node"technique ensures the stability and efficiency of one-man microscopic operation with controllable quality,with the advantages of longer postoperative survival of heart allograft,high patency rate of anastomotic vessels,good cardiac function,and fewer postoperative complications.
