Objective To analyze the current status and hotspots of domestic research on traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)in treating chronic refractory wounds(CRW)over the past 10 years using bibliometric and visualized analysis methods.Methods Articles about TCM therapy for CRW issued by the core periodicals in recent 10 years were retrieved from CNKI,Wanfang and VIP databases.The parameters of annual issued papers,authors,institutions and keywords of the articles were counted with the bibliometric methods.And then the statistical results were presented as visualized graphs by using VOSviewer and CiteSpace software.Results A total of 404 articles were included in the study,and 313 institutions and 1 340 scholars participated in the research on the treatment of CRW with TCM.However,there was limited collaboration between the authors and institutions.Research hotspots mainly focused on the efficacy of TCM external therapies for diabetic foot and pressure ulcers,and discussions on syndrome differentiation,treatment principles and methods about internal treatment by various medical experts.The development and application of Chinese patent medicines,exploration of TCM medication patterns,and the evidence-based medical research on TCM are future research trends in the treatment of CRW with TCM.Conclusion Research on TCM treatment of CRW has attracted significant attention in recent years,but academic barriers exist between the authors and institutions.In the future,it is necessary to promote multicenter research collaboration,strengthen the exploration of experiences in acupoint selection,and conduct higher-level research,thus to provide more compelling evidence and enhance the efficacy of TCM in treating CRW.

This article reports two rare Crohn′s disease (CD) cases during infliximab maintenance treatment complicated with IgA vasculitis (IgAV) . Clinical characteristics, treatment, and pathogenesis of CD complicated with IgAV were discussed in details. Exploring the association between these two diseases is conducive to individualized treatment and improvement of patients′ prognosis.

This article reports a case of enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL) who was repeatedly misdiagnosed as Crohn′s disease (CD) . The article focuses on the differential diagnosis between EATL and other intestinal diseases, aiming to improve the understanding of this disease and reduce misdiagnosis and mistreatment.

Objective To detect gene mutations in a family of congenital atrichia with papular lesions (APL). Methods Polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing were used to search for mutations in the HR gene (a causative gene of APL), the CJB6 gene, and the CDSN gene. Results No mutation was found in these three genes except for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the HR and CDSN genes. Conclusion No mutation is identified in the HR, CJB6 or CDSN gene in this family affected by congenital APL.
