目的:多发性骨髓瘤(Multiple Myeloma,MM)患者约有80%伴有贫血,临床上多数患者以输血方式纠正贫血。重组人促红细胞生成素(recombinant human erythropoietin, rHuEPO)用于治疗MM患者的贫血尽管有效,但以何等剂量、应用多长时间疗效较佳尚无定论。目的: 观察持续使用大剂量rHuEPO对MM患者贫血的纠正作用及效果。方法:87例诊断明确的多发性骨髓瘤伴有贫血的患者,开始连续每天使用重组人促红细胞生成素4万单位,皮下注射,共5d;以后每周使用一次,每次4万单位皮下注射,间断补充铁剂。对照组90例选自同期住院的诊断明确的多发性骨髓瘤患者,当其贫血症状明显时或血红蛋白水平低于60 g/L时,给予输血纠正其贫血,使多数患者血红蛋白水平维持在80 g/L～100 g/L以上。两组患者化疗方案不做特殊规定,整过研究观察期6月。结果: rHuEPO组在使用rHuEPO后2周其血红蛋白开始上升,中位反应时间16d;1月半至2月血红蛋白可升至正常水平,达正常血红蛋白水平的中位时间51d。进入研究后3月和6月时,rHuEPO组生活幸福感指数(INLH)明显优于输血组,分别为6927±318(Plt;005)和7216±283(Plt;001)与5835±289和5776±324。6月后,rHuEPO组平均每例直接费用成本1075440元,明显低于输血组需要达到同样效果所需的每例2070420元。结论:大剂量rHuEPO治疗MM相关性贫血优于输血,其起效快、疗效好,患者生活幸福感改善明显,费用成本低,安全性较好。
目的:研究低氧性肺动脉高压大鼠对实验性红细胞增多的适应。方法:健康SD大鼠28只,体重200～250 g,随机分为4组:常氧对照组（N）、单纯低氧组（H）、低氧+低剂量人重组促红细胞生成素（rEPO） 600 u/kg（H+E1）组、低氧+高剂量rEPO 1200 u/kg（H+E2）组,每组7只大鼠。除常氧对照组外各低氧组大鼠均缺氧21 d,每日8 h。其中后两组每周腹部皮下注射不同剂量的rEPO三次。取血样测定红细胞数、全血粘度及红细胞变形指数；颈外静脉插管测定平均肺动脉压力；光镜观察反映肺动脉重构程度的形态学参数肺小动脉管壁厚度百分比、肺非肌性小动脉肌化程度。结果:①随着rEPO注射剂量的增加,红细胞、全血粘度有不同程度的增高；②全血粘度增高的同时红细胞变形指数也相应地增加；③随着rEPO剂量的增加,平均肺动脉压力逐渐增高,但是肺血管重构程度反而有所缓解。结论:实验性红细胞增多通过改变红细胞变形性和缓解肺血管重构程度来阻遏低氧性肺动脉高压的进一步发展。
Objective To investigate the effects of recombinant human erythropoietin ( rHuEPO) on expressions of Bax and Bcl-2 proteins in hyperoxia-induced lung injury of adult rats. Methods Fortyeight healthy male SD adult rats were randomly divided into six groups. The control group ( 0 h) breathed with room air. The rHuEPO intervention group was put into oxygen chamber and breathed with 100% O2 for 96 h plus intraperitoneal injection of rHuEPO (1000 U/kg) daily. Other four groups were put into oxygen chamber and breathed with 100% O2 for 24, 48, 72 and 96 h respectively. Arterial blood gases were measured to calculate oxygenation index. Wet-to-dry weight ratios of left lung were measured. The contents of TNF-α and IL-1β in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were assayed with radioimmunoassay. The expressions of Bax and Bcl-2 proteins in the lung were determined withWestern blot and immunohistochemisty. The changes of lung histopathology were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin stain and observed under light microscope. Results After breathing 100% O2 , the oxygenation index decreased gradually and reached minimal value at 96 h. The wet-to-dry weight ratio of left lung increased gradually and reached maximal value at 96 h. The contents of TNF-α and IL-1β in BALF reached maximal value at 48 h and then decreased gradually. The expression of Bax protein increased, but the expression of Bcl-2 protein decreased gradually in the lung. Compared with the 96 h group, the oxygenation index was higher, wet-to-dry weight ratio and contents of TNF-α and IL-1β in BALF decreased, the expression of Bax protein decreased, and the expression of Bcl-2 protein increased in the lung of the rHuEPO group. Conclusion rHuEPO can attenuate hyperoxia-induced lung injury of adult rats by down-regulating expression of Bax protein and up-regulating expression of Bcl-2 protein.

Methods A total of 40 patients with anemia in maintenance hemodialysis treated between December 2008 and June 2010 were randomly divided into Shengxuening piece group and capsule polysaccharide-iron complex group; the patients were observed for 8 weeks. Hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Hct), serum ferritin (SF), transferrin saturation (TSAT) and other indicators were detected before treatment four and eight weeks after the treatment. While patients were used recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO) according to 100-120 U/(kg·week), twice subcutaneous injection. Results Before treatment, there was no significant difference between the two groups. Hb, Hct, SF and TSAT increased significantly after treatment in both of the groups and specially in the Shengxuening piece group. After the treatment, the difference in the adverse reaction between the two groups was not significant. Conclusions Both oral iron can effectively correct the hemodialysis patients with iron deficiency and anemia. However, Shengxuening has more significant role and may reduce the use of erythropoietin in patients with hemodialysis.
Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of erythropoietin (EPO) for cancer-related malignant anemia without radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or quasi-randomized controlled trials (quasi-RCTs) involving erythropoietin in the treatment of cancer-related malignant anemia were searched and identified from PubMed (1966 to Sept. 2009), EMBASE (1974 to Sept. 2009), The Cochrane Library (Issue 3, 2009), CBM (1978 to Sept. 2009), CNKI (1994 to Sept. 2009), VIP (1989 to Sept. 2009). We also handsearched relevant journals. Data were extracted and evaluated by two reviewers independently with specially designed extraction form. We evaluated the quality of the included studies by the Cochrane Handbook 5.0 recommend standard and analyzed data by Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 5.0. Results We included twelve trials. The quality of the included studies was poor. The grade of ten studies was B, and the grade of two studies was C. Meta-analyses showed that there were significant differences between erythropoietin and blank in volume of blood transfusion [SMD= –0.66, 95%CI (–1.14, –0.17), P=0.008], number need to transfusion [OR=0.60, 95%CI (0.39, 0.92), P=0.02], and the change of hemoglobin after two-week therapy [SMD=2.40, 95%CI (0.29, 4.52), P=0.03]. Conclusion The current evidence shows that EPO significantly benefits cancer-related malignant anemia. Well-designed RCTs with a larger sample size, longer intervention and follow-up periods are still needed.
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) combined with iron in treatment of anemia in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures during perioperative period. Methods A clinical data of 71 patients with intertrochanteric fractures met the inclusion criteria between April 2016 and October 2017 was retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with closed reduction and proximal femoral intramedullary nail fixation. Thirty-one patients were treated with rHuEPO and iron before operation as trial group, and 40 patients were not treated with rHuEPO and iron as control group. There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, cause of injury, fracture side and classification, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, combined medical diseases, time from fracture to admission, preoperative hospital stay, and operation time between the two groups (P>0.05).The hemoglobin levels before operation and at 1, 3, and 7 days after operation, number of blood transfusion, blood transfusion rate, blood transfusion volume, postoperative hospital stay, complications were recorded and compared. Results After operation, 8 patients (25.8%) in trial group and 22 patients (55.0%) in control group received blood transfusion; the blood transfusion volume was (1.96±0.85) units in trial group and (3.19±1.61) units in control group. There were significant differences in blood transfusion rate and volume between the two groups (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in preoperative hemoglobin level between the two groups (P>0.05). The postoperative hemoglobin level was higher in trial group than in control group, and the difference between the two groups was significant at 7 days (P<0.05). The postoperative hospital stay was (6.16±3.97) days in trial group and (9.25±4.47) days in control group, showing significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). There were 8 patients (25.8%) with pulmonary infection in trial group and 14 (35.0%) in control group after operation; 6 patients (19.4%) with deep venous thrombosis in trial group and 8 (20.0%) in control group. There was no significant difference in the incidences of complications between the two groups (P>0.05). All patients were discharged from hospital normally, and no one died during hospitalization. Conclusion The application of rHuEPO combined with iron before operation in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures can rapidly increase the hemoglobin level after operation, shorten the hospital stay, and do not increase the risk of deep venous thrombosis after operation.

Objective To investigate the effect of exogenous erythropoietin (EPO) on the denervated muscle atrophy. Methods Twenty-four SD male rats, weighting 200-220 g were made the models of denervated gastrocnemius muscle after sciatic nerves were transected under the piriform muscle at the right lower leg, and were randomly divided into two groups (n=12). rhEPO (2 500 U/kg) was injected daily into the denervated gastrocnemius muscle in EPO group, and normal sal ine was injected into the denervated gastrocnemius muscle in control group. To observe the general state of health of the experimental animal, the muscle wet weight, the muscle cell diameter, the cross section area, the protein amount, thepercentage of the apoptotic muscle cells, and the Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase activities were measured 2 and 4 weeks after operation. Results All experimental animals were survived during experiment without cut infection, and all animals could walk with pull ing the right knee. At 4 weeks after operation, 7 cases showed ulcer in the right heel, inculding 5 in the control group and 2 in the EPO group. At 2 and 4 weeks after operation, the muscle wet weight in EPO group was (885.59 ± 112.35) and (697.62 ± 94.74) g, respectively; in control group, it was (760.63 ± 109.05) and (458.71 ± 58.76) g, respectively; indicating significant differences between two groups (P lt; 0.01). The protein amount in EPO group was (77.37 ± 5.24) and (66.37 ± 4.87) mg/mL, respectivly；in control group, it was (65.39 ± 4.97) and (54.62 ± 6.32) mg/mL；indicating significant differences between two groups (P lt; 0.01). At 2 and 4 weeks after operation, the myofibrillar shapes were nearly normal in EPO group while there were muscle fiber atrophy, some collapse and obviously hyperblastosis between muscle bundle. There were significant differences in the muscle cell diameter and the cross section between two groups (P lt; 0.01). However, the percentage of the apoptotic muscle cells was 11.80% ± 1.74% and 28.47% ± 1.81% in control group, respectively, which was significantly smaller than that in EPO group (21.48% ± 2.21% and 55.89% ± 2.88%, P lt; 0.01). At 2 and 4 weeks after operation, Na+-K+-ATPaseand Ca2+-ATPase activities in EPO group were higher than those in control group (P lt; 0.01). Conclusion EPO can delay the denervated muscle atrophy.
