Severe immune deficiency or suppression, such as patients with severe congenital immune deficiency, patients with severe rheumatic immune diseases undergoing hormone shock therapy, and patients in the perioperative period after stem cell transplantation. 3. During the screening period, clinical laboratory tests show platelet count (PLT) 5×ULN, albumin 2.5×ULN), or severe kidney function impairment (such as eGFR = 3×ULN). Excluded from the exclusion criteria are patients with well-controlled tumors, patients with stable vital signs after surgery, patients with mild to moderate chronic liver function impairment (ALT or AST = 30 ml/min/1.73m², serum creatinine < 3×ULN), and patients with a history of organ transplantation but stable function. 5. Patients who have recently used or are currently using or plan to receive (within 4 weeks) drugs containing fluorouracil groups (5-fluorouracil or other drugs), including their topical formulations, prodrugs (such as capecitabine, tegafur, floxuridine, flucytosine), and compound preparations or other fluorouracil drugs containing these active ingredients. 6.
