Visualization analysis of traditional Chinese medicine and pharmacy combined with TACE in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma based on CiteSpace / 中国现代医生

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the current status,hotspots,and trends in the research field of traditional Chinese medicine and pharmacy combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods The relevant literatures on traditional Chinese medicine and pharmacy combined with TACE treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma collected by China National Knowledge Infrastructure from January 1994 to December 2022,and use CiteSpace 6.1.R6 software to analyze its publication volume,authors,research institutions,and key words.Results This study included a total of 686 articles.The publication volume showed a fluctuating upward trend from 1994 to 2015,but it had decreased since 2016,indicating that further breakthrough research was needed in this field.The communication between authors and research institutions needed to be strengthened,with low levels of cross institutional and cross regional cooperation and uneven geographical distribution.Cooperation should be strengthened.High frequency key words included hepatocellular carcinoma,Chinese materia medica,interventional therapy,therapeutic,etc.,resulting in 9 key word clustering labels.Conclusion Currently,there is a lack of experimental research and related mechanism research,the future research hotspots of traditional Chinese medicine and pharmacy combined with TACE treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma will focus more on traditional Chinese medicine and pharmacy,interventional therapy,clinical observation,and cell apoptosis,which provides new ideas for researchers conducting related research in the future.
