Abstract
Context: Recent research has revealed significant advancements in the field of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for skin diseases. However, there is a lack of visualization analysis within this research domain.
Objective: To analyze the research directions and advancements in TCM research in skin diseases.
Materials and methods: Publications related to TCM in skin diseases from 2014 to 2024 were searched on the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the R package "bibliometrix" were employed to visualize and analyze the retrieved data.
Results: The study included 527 articles published in 25 countries. The number of publications consistently increased from 2014 to 2024. The Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine was the most noteworthy institution in this field. Among the journals in this domain, the Journal of Ethnopharmacology was the most popular, and most frequently co-cited journal. Chuanjian Lu published the most papers and Yin-Ku Lin was the most frequently co-cited author. Among keywords, "psoriasis" appeared the most frequently. Additionally, several emerging research hotspots were identified, indicating the transition from traditional Chinese therapies to investigations of the molecular interactions and network pharmacology of Chinese herbs in treatment of skin diseases over the past decade.
Discussion and conclusion: This visualization analysis summarizes the research directions and advancements in TCM research on skin diseases. It presents a comprehensive examination of the latest research frontiers and trends and serves as a valuable reference for scholars engaged in the study of TCM research.
背景：最近的研究显示，在皮肤疾病的中医药领域取得了重大进展。然而，在这一研究领域缺乏可视化分析。目的：分析中医治疗皮肤病的研究方向及进展。材料与方法：在Web of Science Core Collection （WoSCC）上检索2014 - 2024年与中医治疗皮肤病相关的出版物，使用VOSviewer、CiteSpace和R软件包“bibliometrix”对检索数据进行可视化分析。结果：该研究包括在25个国家发表的527篇文章。从2014年到2024年，出版物数量持续增加。广州中医药大学是该领域最值得关注的机构。在这一领域的期刊中，《民族药理学杂志》（Journal of Ethnopharmacology）是最受欢迎、最常被共同引用的期刊。发表论文最多的是陆传建，共同被引次数最多的是林寅库。关键词中出现频率最高的是“牛皮癣”。此外，本文还指出了几个新兴的研究热点，表明近十年来中药治疗皮肤病的分子相互作用和网络药理学研究从传统中医疗法转向中药治疗皮肤病的分子相互作用和网络药理学研究。讨论与结论：本可视化分析总结了皮肤疾病中医研究的研究方向和进展。它全面介绍了最新的研究前沿和趋势，为从事中医研究的学者提供了有价值的参考。
期刊介绍：
Pharmaceutical Biology will publish manuscripts describing the discovery, methods for discovery, description, analysis characterization, and production/isolation (including sources and surveys) of biologically-active chemicals or other substances, drugs, pharmaceutical products, or preparations utilized in systems of traditional medicine.
Topics may generally encompass any facet of natural product research related to pharmaceutical biology. Papers dealing with agents or topics related to natural product drugs are also appropriate (e.g., semi-synthetic derivatives). Manuscripts will be published as reviews, perspectives, regular research articles, and short communications. The primary criteria for acceptance and publication are scientific rigor and potential to advance the field.
