Introduction
Tongluosan is the root and whole herb of the plant species Indigofera tinctoria, belonging to the Fabaceae family. It commonly has functions and effects such as promoting tendon and bone regeneration, dispersing blood stasis to relieve pain, reducing swelling and inflammation, improving digestive function, and promoting circulation through meridians. Tongluosan can aid in tendon and bone healing and may provide certain therapeutic effects when applied externally for patients with bone injuries. However, caution should still be exercised when using Tongluosan to ensure safe and appropriate medication use.

Copper Lushan is the root and whole herb of the plant Tengteng, which belongs to the genus Indigofera in the legume family. It typically has functions and effects such as promoting tendon and bone healing, dispersing blood stasis and relieving pain, reducing swelling and inflammation, improving digestive function, and promoting circulation of Qi and blood through the meridians. Specific analyses are as follows:

1. Promoting Tendon and Bone Healing: Copper Lushan can help in the healing of tendons and bones. For patients with bone injuries, topical application of this herb can have a certain therapeutic effect.

2. Dispersing Blood Stasis and Relieving Pain: Copper Lushan has the effect of dispersing blood stasis and can help improve conditions of internal blood accumulation. At the same time, it also has a significant pain-relieving effect and can be used to treat discomfort and pain caused by various inflammations, such as gastroenteritis, gastric ulcers, and oral inflammation.

3. Reducing Swelling and Inflammation: Copper Lushan has anti-inflammatory and swelling-reducing effects. If there are symptoms of contusions and bruises accompanied by local swelling and pain, applying the mashed herb externally can help alleviate the symptoms.

4. Improving Digestive Function: Copper Lushan can promote the secretion of gastric juices and enhance gastrointestinal motility, thereby improving digestion and relieving gastrointestinal discomfort and indigestion symptoms.

5. Promoting Circulation Through Meridians: Copper Lushan can promote the circulation of Qi and blood through the meridians. For patients with blocked meridians, joint pain, or rheumatoid arthritis, both topical application and oral administration of this herb can have certain therapeutic effects.

Nonetheless, caution should still be exercised when using Copper Lushan, and it should be used under the guidance of a qualified physician or traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to ensure safe and appropriate medication use.

Can anemia lead to insufficient blood supply to the heart?
In general, anemia does not directly reduce coronary blood flow, but it can indirectly lead to relative ischemia and hypoxia in cardiac tissue by decreasing the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity. The underlying issue is inadequate oxygen delivery rather than reduced blood supply. Prolonged anemia may eventually impair heart function. Once anemia is diagnosed, the cause should be promptly identified and treated appropriately to prevent irreversible cardiac damage caused by chronic oxygen deprivation.

In general, blood pressure-related hypotension during hemodialysis is a common complication that requires timely intervention. Hemodialysis-related hypotension refers to acute drops in blood pressure occurring during or within 30 minutes after hemodialysis in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. It is one of the frequent complications during dialysis; if not managed promptly, it may impair dialysis efficacy and even trigger serious consequences such as ischemia of the heart and brain.

How long can a patient with late-stage leukemia survive with blood transfusions?
In general, blood transfusions cannot prolong the overall survival of patients in the late stages of leukemia. They can only temporarily alleviate symptoms such as anemia and bleeding, potentially maintaining the patient's condition for 3 to 6 months, depending on the type of leukemia, the patient's baseline health status, and the severity of complications. In advanced leukemia, bone marrow hematopoietic function is severely impaired, often leading to severe anemia and extremely low platelet counts.

What is effective circulating blood volume?
Effective circulating blood volume refers to the total amount of blood that can effectively circulate through the cardiovascular system per unit time, participating in substance exchange and maintaining stable blood pressure. In daily life, it is important to avoid significant blood loss or severe dehydration, as these conditions directly reduce effective circulating blood volume. At the same time, attention should be paid to cardiovascular health to prevent abnormal vasoconstriction or decreased cardiac pumping function.
