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.

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is characterized by non-immune microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and acute kidney injury. IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a common primary glomerular disease, while aHUS combined with IgAN is rare, and has been reported rarely in the past. This paper reported a case of children with aHUS combined with IgAN. In the acute stage, she was treated with plasma therapy and glucocorticoid. After remission, she was treated with glucocorticoid combined with immunosuppressants. During the follow-up period, aHUS did not recur, the renal function was normal, and urinary protein decreased to weakly positive.

ObjectiveTo review the drug information and research progress on oral Chinese patent medicines in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmia to identify existing problems and provide references for follow-up research. MethodChinese patent medicines against cardiac arrhythmia were retrieved from the three major drug catalogues,Yaozh.com,and relevant guidelines with arrhythmia as the retrieval term. The instructions for included Chinese patent medicines were retrieved through Yaozh.com and specific information was extracted. The research articles on Chinese patent medicines included were retrieved from the five databases,and the information meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria was extracted and displayed in the form of text description and graphs after statistical analysis. ResultSixty-five oral Chinese patent medicines were included in this study,with the main functions of activating the blood and resolving stasis. The average daily cost of medicines was 8.17 yuan,and there were 42 medicines with an average daily cost of less than 10 yuan,showing a moderate medicine cost. A total of 351 research articles on Chinese patent medicines were screened out,including 259 randomized controlled trials (RCTs),16 non-RCTs,eight non-controlled trials,62 systematic reviews,two guidelines,and two expert consensuses. Eighteen types of Chinese patent medicines were involved,whose clinical trials had been conducted in 28 provinces,cities,autonomous regions,and municipalities in China. Wenxin granules and Shensong Yangxin capsules were the top medicines under investigation,accounting for 75.21% of all research articles. Among the included studies,the most common comparison design was Chinese patent medicine combined with western medicine vs western medicine (64.25%). The outcome evaluation was mainly based on clinical efficacy,symptom efficacy,arrhythmia efficacy,adverse reactions,and heart rate changes. ConclusionThe number of clinical studies of oral Chinese patent medicines against cardiac arrhythmia varies greatly,but traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation thinking is less considered in practical application. Due to unstandardized clinical research and low-quality literature,further advancement is required in the future.

Objective To explore different characteristics of the vertebral artery and basilar artery haemody-namics in different frequencies to provide a theoretical basis for clinical treatment .Methods 90 cases of sudden deaf-ness were induded and according to hearing curve ,the cases were divided into three groups with 30 cases for each while the control group had 30 subjects .All cases were examined by TCD ,the VA ,BA test .Results Compared with group of median and low frequency sudden deafness ,the abnormal blood flow rate were found with decreased hearing(P<0 .05) .High and the full frequency range showed the abnormal blood flow rate ,although results were different(P<0 .05) .There were more high velocity detection rates among patients of high frequency group than the other groups .The full-frequency group's blood flow detection rate increased significantly more than the first two groups of patients with sudden deafness .PI ,RI of sudden deafness increased slightly ,but there was no statistically significant difference compared with control group (P>0 .05) .High frequency hearing loss compared with the con-trol group patients with sudden deafness had a clear abnormal velocity (P<0 .05) ,characterized by high velocity . There was no statistically significant difference in blood flow rate among low and median frequency group ,full-fre-quency group and control group except for Vs of BA in low and median frequency group .Conclusion Vertebral and basilar arterial circulation disorders had present more significance in the incidence of sudden deafness ,evident espe-cially in high and all frequency sudden deafness .Early initiation of TCD examination can understand the change of the vertebral and basilar artery hemodynamics ,providing high clinical application values .
