ObjectiveTo explore the academic characteristics of contemporary renowned Chinese medicine masters in treating diabetic kidney disease (DKD) from the perspectives of principles, methods, formulas, and medications. MethodsIn strict accordance with the Systematic Review of Text and Opinion (SrTO) process developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI), an Australian evidence-based healthcare center, the databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP Database, Wanfang Data, and China Biomedical Literature Service System (SinoMed) were searched. Based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, text information extraction, quality evaluation, and text information synthesis were conducted sequentially. The data were analyzed and presented in the form of text and figures. ResultsA total of 215 articles related to 43 contemporary renowned experts in the fields of Chinese medicine nephrology and endocrinology were included. The study found that the academic thoughts of these masters in the treatment of DKD are extensive, involving multiple levels such as disease understanding, therapeutic strategies, formula application, and medication use. In terms of disease understanding, the primary pathogenesis is characterized by deficiency in the root and excess in the manifestation. It is emphasized that internal factors, such as congenital endowment deficiency, interact with external factors such as improper diet, emotional disturbances, invasion of exogenous pathogens, and delayed or inappropriate treatment, to jointly induce the disease. This further gives rise to various pathogenetic theories, including obstruction of renal collaterals by blood stasis, toxin-induced damage to renal collaterals, latent wind disturbing the kidney, and internal heat leading to mass formation. In terms of therapeutic strategies and medication use, the principal treatment method is to replenish Qi and nourish Yin. Stage-based and syndrome-differentiated treatments are advocated. Flexible use of insect-derived drugs and wind-dispelling drugs is emphasized, along with proficiency in applying classical formulas and drug pairs. Integrated internal and external treatments, as well as the combined application of multiple therapeutic approaches, are commonly employed for comprehensive management. Meanwhile, the concept of "preventive treatment of disease" is upheld, and individualized long-term management of patients is advocated. ConclusionThrough the SrTO process, the academic thoughts of contemporary renowned Chinese medicine masters in the treatment of DKD have been systematically and standardly synthesized, providing a scientific and standardized basis for future theoretical exploration.

Objective To propose a decision tree-based optimization algorithm to shorten the time spent and to improve the decision-making efficiency for medical device fault diagnosis.Methods Firstly,a binarized fault state space for medical equipment was constructed;secondly,the binarized fault state space was simplified with logical functions;finally,a greedy algorithm was applied to iterative judgment to build a decision tree for medical device fault diagnosis.The algorithm proposed was compared with the greedy algorithm,Gini coefficient method and random forest algorithm in terms of the result accuracy and time cost and the influences of fault probability distribution and time-consuming differences for the algorithms.A case study on gastric lavage machine fault diagnosis was conducted to demonstrate the algorithm.Results The algorithm proposed behaved better than the greedy algorithm,Gini coefficient method and random forest algorithm in lowered time cost and result accuracy.However,the algorithm showed a decrease in accuracy for the logarithmic distribution of the detection method's time consumption,and it was not sensitive to the changes in the failure rate distribution.The gastric lavage machine case study demonstrated that the algorithm was functionally similar to an experienced engineer.Conclusion The proposed algorithm with overall perspective effectively enhances fault judgment efficiency and facilitates rapid diagnostic decision-making in medical equipment maintenance.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(5):78-83]
