Abstract: Objective: To summarize the medication rules of Professor GONG Baowen treating gouty arthritis with data mining. Methods:Medical records and prescriptions of Professor GONG for treating gouty arthritis were collected, organized, and inputted into the Ancient and Modern Medical Records Cloud Platform. Frequency analysis, correlation analysis, cluster analysis, and complex network analysis were used to explore the medication rules of Professor GONG in the treatment of gouty arthritis. Results:A total of 279 prescriptions were included, involving 200 Chinese medicinals. The clinical syndrome type was mainly damp-heat accumulation syndrome. Professor GONG's treatment for gouty arthritis mainly involved tonifying qi, promoting urination and relieving strangury, invigorating blood and alleviating pain, clearing heat and detoxifying,and the commonly used Chinese medicinals included Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Rhizoma Dioscoreae Hypoglaueae, Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix, Smilacis Glabrae Rhizoma, Puerariae Lobatae Radix,and Plantaginis Herba.

Cluster analysis obtained three new prescriptions,including Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix-Smilacis Glabrae Rhizoma-Puerariae Lobatae Radix- Rhizoma Dioscoreae Hypoglaueae-Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Plantaginis Herba-Clematidis Radix et Rhizoma-Portulacae Herba-Coicis Semen-Epimedii Folium-Atractylodis Rhizoma-Eucommiae Cortex,and Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma-Astragali Radix-Codonopsis Radix-Sepiae Endoconcha-Pinelliae Rhizoma-Dioscoreae Spongiosae Rhizoma-Ostreae Concha-Cinnamomi Ramulus. The common prescription obtained from complex network analysis was Rhizoma Dioscoreae Hypoglaueae-Smilacis Glabrae Rhizoma-Puerariae Lobatae Radix-Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix-Plantaginis Herba-Clematidis Radix et Rhizoma-Coicis Semen-Atractylodis Rhizoma-Sepiae Endoconcha.
