CiteSpace-based visualization of Chinese medicine for uric acid nephropathy

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the research status and trend of Chinese medicine for the treatment of uric acid nephropathy in the past 30 years. Methods: The database of China Knowledge Network (CNKI) was searched, and CiteSpace analysis software was used to visualize and analyze the annual number of articles, authors, institutions, key words and emergent words. Results: A total of 767 relevant research papers were included. The number of annual publications showed a stable increasing trend; teams with close cooperation, such as Jiacai Hu's team, Dongdong Li's team, Nietao Guo's team and Fengxian Meng's team, were formed. A cluster of core research institutions including Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shuguang Hospital affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine has been formed. Key words related mapping showed. Conclusion: Chinese medicine research on uric acid nephropathy is being developed and improved, and the combination of Chinese and Western medicine is highly valued. Basic experimental research on oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and disease prevention may be a hot spot for future research. Interdisciplinary, interdisciplinary and talent exchange and cooperation need to be strengthened, and further explored at the microscopic level through research in order to exploit the advantages of TCM in disease treatment.
