This paper systematically reviewed the concept of authentication studies on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) classics and the research achievements of scholars across historical and contemporary periods. We categorized the authentication studies on TCM classics into four types, including work-oriented authentication research, metho-dological studies on authentication, extended authentication research, and single-book authentication. Multiple methods were applied comprehensively, including investigating bibliographic documents of successive dynasties, analyzing the academic contents of medical books, studying the textual characteristics of medical books, examining the cited references in medical books, verifying the biographies of authors, and analyzing the interpolations and accretions in medical books, to distinguish the authenticity of TCM classics. The academic value of authenticity identification of TCM classics is concluded in three aspects,i.e. it serves as an important means to distinguish authenticity from falsehood in TCM classics, an important guarantee for inheriting the essence of TCM literature, and a key to unlocking the academic treasure trove of TCM classics and achieving inheritance-based innovation, which will lay a solid documentary foundation for constructing identification methodologies and standardized systems.

Radiotherapy is one of the primary treatment modalities for tumors. In recent years, advancements in radiotherapy technology have enabled radiation to reach target areas with greater precision. However, radiation damage to normal tissue remains unavoidable. Traditional normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models are widely used to predict such injuries, but they often fail to account for individual and tissue heterogeneity. As an emerging technology, radiomics can provide more comprehensive biological information and shows promise in predicting radiation-induced damage. This article reviews the application value of radiomics in predicting damage to organs at risk in the head and neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis.

Objective:To explore the medication thinking and compatibility rules of TCM for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy (DN).Methods:Relevant journal literature of TCM for the treatment of DN was retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, and CBM from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2023, and a database was established through Excel 2016. Python 3.10 and the ancient and modern medical record cloud platform 2.3.5 were used to conduct Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling and association rule analysis to explore the thinking and compatibility rules of TCM prescriptions in the literature.Results:A total of 474 articles were included in the study, including 474 prescriptions, involving 260 kinds of Chinese materia medica, of which 40 kinds of Chinese materia medica with a frequency of ≥ 30, mainly Astragali Radix, Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Dioscoreae Rhizoma, Poria, and Corni Fructus, etc. The LDA topic model identified three groups of prescriptions, including four classic prescriptions: Liuwei Dihuang Pills, Taohong Siwu Decoction, Erzhi Pills, and Wuling Powder. The commonly used drug combinations extracted by association rules were: Rhizoma Alismatis - Poria, Cortex Moutan Radicis-Fructus Corni and Cortex Moutan Radicis - Rhizoma Dioscoreae.Conclusions:The main therapeutic principle of TCM in treating DN is to nourish the yin and tonify the kidney, supplemented by drugs that promoting blood circulation for removing blood stasis as well as promoting urination and draining dampness. In clinical application, modern doctors tend to use classic prescriptions such as Liuwei Dihuang Pills, Erzhi Pills, Taohong Siwu Decoction, and Wuling Powder as the basis, and modify them according to the specific conditions of patients. The LDA topic model can extract valuable prescription information from a large number of modern TCM literature, providing new perspectives and ideas for the study of clinical medication rules in TCM.

Objective:To analyze the value of abdominal CT angiography (CTA) and three-dimensional reconstruction fusion technology for larger (2 - 5 cm) gastric submucosal tumors (SMT) in the preoperative evaluation of super minimally invasive surgery(SMIS).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted, collecting data from 20 patients with gastric SMTs measuring 2 - 5 cm in diameter who were hospitalized in the the First Medical Center of the Chinese PLA General Hospital from March 2023 to December 2024. All patients underwent abdominal CTA prior to SMIS, and three-dimensional reconstructions of the tumors were performed. Clinical data were collected to analyze the visualization of the tumors and surrounding blood vessels in the fused three-dimensional images and the corresponding surgical plans.Results:In 19 cases, the abdominal CTA and three-dimensional imaging clearly and intuitively displayed the anatomical structures surrounding the tumors and provided panoramic images of small blood vessels around the tumors, enabling the selection of appropriate surgical plans. One case required conversion to laparoscopic surgery due to the intraoperative discovery of a small artery.Conclusions:The abdominal CTA examination and gastric SMT three dimensional reconstruction before SMIS can better display the anatomical location of the tumor and its relationship with surrounding small blood vessels, which is beneficial for gastroenterologists to formulate surgical plans and facilitate the smooth progress of SMIS under endoscopy.
