While Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has become a standard paradigm for mitigating hallucinations in Large Language Models (LLMs), its effectiveness in complex medical reasoning remains limited. Existing RAG methods suffer from two main challenges: First, **Semantic Drift**: without explicit domain constraints, LLM-driven query decomposition often deviates from the original clinical intent, introducing substantial noise that degrades retrieval relevance. Second, **Concatenation Fallacy**: retrieved evidence from different semantic aspects is aggregated in a naive, unstructured manner, without modeling their inter-dependencies and potential conflicts, which ultimately undermines downstream reasoning. To address these challenges, we propose **Med-SRAF**, a multi-agent retrieval augmentation framework guided by medical domain knowledge. This framework reconstructs the traditional RAG process through two core mechanisms: (1) Intent-driven Semantic Routing, where a UMLS-based NavigationAgent dynamically maps queries to medical dimensions for strategic search space pruning; and (2) Evidence-based Agentic Fusion, where a FusionAgent resolves conflicts among dimension-specific evidence to build logically consistent reasoning chains. Extensive experiments on five widely used medical benchmarks show that Med-SRAF consistently outperforms existing general RAG baselines, achieving an average accuracy improvement of over **4.9%**, highlighting its effectiveness in robust and interpretable medical reasoning.

Although contextualized embeddings generated from large-scale pre-trained models perform well in many tasks, traditional static embeddings (e.g., Skip-gram, Word2Vec) still play an important role in low-resource and lightweight settings due to their low computational cost, ease of deployment, and stability. In this paper, we aim to improve word embeddings by 1) incorporating more contextual information from existing pre-trained models into the Skip-gram framework, which we call Context-to-Vec; 2) proposing a post-processing retrofitting method for static embeddings independent of training by employing priori synonym knowledge and weighted vector distribution. Through extrinsic and intrinsic tasks, our methods are well proven to outperform the baselines by a large margin.
