Abstract
CONTEXT Celastrol, acknowledged as a prominent exemplar of the potential for transforming traditional medicinal compounds into contemporary pharmaceuticals, has garnered considerable attention owing to its extensive pharmacological activities. The increasing volume of publications concerning celastrol highlights its importance in current scientific inquiry. Despite the growing interest in this compound, a bibliometric analysis focused on this subject remains to be undertaken. OBJECTIVE Our study explored a bibliometric approach to identify and characterize global research trends and frontiers related to celastrol, including mapping research outputs, influential contributors, and thematic areas, as well as highlighting gaps and opportunities for future investigations. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we utilized the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) to source and review articles related to celastrol published from 1997 to 2023. The bibliometric analysis was conducted using the R package 'Bibliometrix,' supplemented by visualization tools including CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and GraphPad Prism 10. RESULTS Celastrol related research papers have exhibited an upward trend annually and can be categorized into three distinct phases, each highlighting different areas of focus. China, the United States, and South Korea rank as the top three nations for publication volume, with varied research interests across these countries. Several prolific research teams have emerged, each with distinct areas of interest. Examining the primary research domains of celastrol (anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and toxicity) reveals a notable intersection between the first two domains. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS The scope and depth of celastrol research have been steadily expanding, with regional and team-specific variations. Key research areas include anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and toxicity studies. Future research is expected to focus on enhancing the effectiveness and reducing the toxicity of celastrol. Meanwhile, given the multi-target characteristics of celastrol's effects, integrating methods such as network biology and molecular simulation will provide a novel perspective for celastrol research.

Abstract
Immunity has vital research value and promising applications in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Nevertheless, few bibliometric analyses have systematically investigated this area. This study aimed to comprehensively review the collaboration and impact of countries, institutions, authors, and journals on the role of immunity in TNBC from a bibliometric perspective, evaluate the keyword co-occurrence of the knowledge structure, and identify hot trends and emerging topics. Articles and reviews related to immunity in TNBC were retrieved from the Web of Science core collection using subject search. A bibliometric study was conducted primarily using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. A total of 3,104 articles and reviews were included from January 1, 2014, through December 31, 2024. The number of articles on immunization in TNBC is rising. These publications are mainly from 415 institutions in 82 countries, led by China and the USA. Among these publications, Lajos Pusztai published the most papers, while Peter Schmid was co-cited the most. The most productive journals focused on molecular biology, biological immunology, and clinical medicine. Furthermore, co-citation analysis revealed that tumor microenvironment, biomarkers, and immune checkpoint inhibitors are current and developing research areas. The keywords "immunotherapy" and "nanoparticles" are also likely to be new trends and focal points for future research. This study adopted bibliometric and visualization methods to provide a comprehensive review of the research on immunization in TNBC. This article will help researchers better understand the dynamic evolution of the role of immunity in TNBC and identify areas for future research.

[PMID: 40275437 PMCID: PMC12026087 DOI: 10.1080/21645515.2025.2493539] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2024] [Revised: 04/01/2025] [Accepted: 04/11/2025] [Indexed: 04/26/2025] Open
Abstract
This study aims to fill the knowledge gap in systematically mapping the evolution of omics-driven tumor immunotherapy research through a bibliometric lens. While omics technologies (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics)provide multidimensional molecular profiling, their synergistic potential with immunotherapy remains underexplored in large-scale trend analyses. A comprehensive search was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection for literature related to omics in tumor immunotherapy, up to August 2024. Bibliometric analyses, conducted using R version 4.3.3, VOSviewer 1.6.20, and Citespace 6.2, examined publication trends, country and institutional contributions, journal distributions, keyword co-occurrence, and citation bursts. This analysis of 9,494 publications demonstrates rapid growth in omics-driven tumor immunotherapy research since 2019, with China leading in output (63% of articles) yet exhibiting limited multinational collaboration (7.9% vs. the UK's 61.8%). Keyword co-occurrence and citation burst analyses reveal evolving frontiers: early emphasis on "PD-1/CTLA-4 blockade" has transitioned toward "machine learning," "multi-omics," and "lncRNA," reflecting a shift to predictive modeling and biomarker discovery. Multi-omics integration has facilitated the development of immune infiltration-based prognostic models, such as TIME subtypes, which have been validated across multiple tumor types, which inform clinical trial design (e.g. NCT06833723). Additionally, proteomic analysis of melanoma patients suggests that metabolic biomarkers, particularly oxidative phosphorylation and lipid metabolism, may stratify responders to PD-1 blockade therapy. Moreover, spatial omics has confirmed ENPP1 as a potential novel therapeutic target in Ewing sarcoma. Citation trends underscore clinical translation, particularly mutation-guided therapies. Omics technologies are transforming tumor immunotherapy by enhancing biomarker discovery and improving therapeutic predictions. Future advancements will necessitate longitudinal omics monitoring, AI-driven multi-omics integration, and international collaboration to accelerate clinical translation. This study presents a systematic framework for exploring emerging research frontiers and offers insights for optimizing precision-driven immunotherapy.

Abstract
Amid rapid urbanization and rising health challenges, nature-based interventions (NBI) have emerged as a multidisciplinary focus for enhancing well-being and environmental sustainability. This study analyzed 35,418 publications from the Web of Science (1985-2023) using bibliometric tools (CiteSpace, VOSviewer) to map trends in NBI research. The annual number of publications, research institutions, and keywords were systematically analyzed. The conclusions drawn from this analysis are as follows: (1) The annual publication volume in the field of nature-based interventions has been steadily growing, reflecting the rising interest and recognition of its importance within the research community; (2) The research direction is gradually exhibiting diverse characteristics, spanning multiple disciplinary fields; (3) The current research predominantly emphasizes on four dimensions of nature-based interventions: physiological therapy, mental health, rehabilitation effects of physical activity, and the enhancement of quality of life across various population group. However, systematic exploration of the benefits of nature-based interventions for the sub-healthy population remains limited particularly concerning their impact on social health. Therefore, future research should place greater emphasis on examining the interactive relationship between nature-based interventions and the social health of sub-healthy populations, offering valuable references and inspiration for further research.

[PMID: 40034545 PMCID: PMC11874824 DOI: 10.1016/j.ibneur.2025.02.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2024] [Revised: 01/15/2025] [Accepted: 02/01/2025] [Indexed: 03/05/2025] Open
Abstract
Background Obesity can directly lead to allodynia, increase the incidence of chronic pain, and aggravate existing pain. However, the mechanisms underlying obesity-related or obesity-induced pain are still not understood. Herein, we performed a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of obesity-related or obesity-induced pain, aiming to analyze the current trends and hot spots as well as explore the underlying mechanisms. Methods We searched reviews and articles on obesity-related or obesity-induced pain from 2005 to 2024 via the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. We subsequently conducted bibliometric analysis employing WPS Office, a web-based bibliometric analysis platform (https://bibliometric.com), VOSviewer, Pajek, and CiteSpace. Results In total, 347 papers were identified for bibliometric analysis. The country, institution, and journal with the greatest influence were the USA, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and Headache, respectively. Dr. Lipton RB and Dr. Karppinen J were the top 2 influential authors on the basis of their significant number of publications and citations. The keywords for the latest burst were "inflammation," "risk," "neuropathic pain," "gene-related peptide," "knee osteoarthritis," and "validation." Notably, the article titled "The association between chronic obesity and pain" by Okifuji A received the highest number of citations as well as the strongest citation burst. He and colleagues noted a significant correlation between obesity and pain in terms of clinical manifestations, but this connection is indirect and is modulated by certain biomechanical and structural alterations linked to obesity, inflammatory agents, mood disorders, sleep disturbances, and lifestyles. Conclusion There has been a notable surge in the number of articles published in the last two decades. The investigation into neuroendocrine and neuroimmune mechanisms underlying obesity-related or obesity-induced pain is expected to be a hot spot in the coming years. A potential strategy for treating chronic obesity and pain should pay attention to particular endocrine regulators, inflammatory cytokines, or immune cells that serve as central elements or crucial signaling pathways within this regulatory system.

[PMID: 40418308 DOI: 10.1007/s12672-025-02750-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2025] [Accepted: 05/19/2025] [Indexed: 05/27/2025] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Kidney cancer is a worldwide prevalent urological malignancy and the leading cause of death. Sequencing and omics studies play a crucial role in unraveling its molecular mechanisms and diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic relevance. This study aims to offer a comprehensive review of the evolving trends and hotspots of sequencing and omics studies in kidney neoplasms. METHODS We conducted the retrieval of scientific publications on sequencing and omics studies in kidney neoplasms from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) on July 3, 2023. The R-based bibliometrix package, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace were utilized to conduct the holistic bibliometric analysis to obtain objective and data-driven results. A comprehensive consultation of papers was then proceeded for an in-depth review. RESULTS Our investigation yielded a dataset containing 1260 records from 509 sources, with 43,404 references, from 1960 to 2023. Publication and citation frequencies have been consistently growing. In country analysis, China and the USA led the research, displaying substantial collaboration. Notable contributors like TEH BT, SAUTER G, and FUTREAL PA shaped this research landscape. Key journals such as PLoS One, Cancer Research, and New England Journal of Medicine actively participated in and significantly influenced this field. Distinguished publications and references were also revealed, along with their historical citation and co-citation relationships. A panel of keywords, including RCC, biomarker, and multi-omics data were identified and clustered. CONCLUSION We obtained a profound understanding of the developing trends and hotspots of research investigating sequencing and omics studies in kidney neoplasms. Specifically, we have highlighted three hotspots: "explore molecular mechanisms of RCC pathogenesis, progression, and metastasis", "identify molecular biomarkers of RCC for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutics", "investigate tumor heterogeneity and tailor personalized therapeutic strategies for RCC". Hopefully, our study will serve as a valuable reference for scientific researchers and clinical practitioners.

World J Clin Oncol 2025; 16:102747. [DOI: 10.5306/wjco.v16.i5.102747] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2024] [Revised: 02/13/2025] [Accepted: 04/11/2025] [Indexed: 05/19/2025] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) have demonstrated significant potential as a research and treatment approach for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Nevertheless, a comprehensive quantitative analysis of TAMs in HCC remained insufficient. Therefore, the objective of this study was to employ bibliometric methods to investigate the development trends and research frontiers pertaining to this field.
AIM To determine the knowledge structure and current research hotspots by bibliometric analysis of scholarly papers pertaining to TAMs in HCC.
METHODS The present study employed the Web of Science Core Collection to identify all papers related to TAMs in HCC research. Utilizing the Analysis Platform of Bibliometrics, CiteSpace 6.2.R4, and Vosviewer 1.6.19, the study conducted a comprehensive analysis encompassing multiple dimensions such as publication quantity, countries of origin, affiliated institutions, publishing journals, contributing authors, co-references, author keywords, and emerging frontiers within this research domain.
RESULTS A thorough examination was undertaken on 818 papers within this particular field, published between January 1, 1985 to September 1, 2023, which has witnessed a substantial surge in scholarly contributions since 2012, with a notable outbreak in 2019. China was serving as the central hub in this field, with Fudan University leading in terms of publications and citations. Chinese scholars have taken the forefront in driving the research expansion within this field. Hepatology emerged as the most influential journal in this field. The study by Qian and Pollard in 2010 received the highest number of co-citations. It was observed that the citation bursts of references coincided with the outbreak of publications. Notably, “tumor microenvironment”, “immunotherapy”, “prognostic”, “inflammation”, and “polarization”, etc. emerged as frequently occurring keywords in this field. Of particular interest, “immune evasion”, “immune infiltration”, and “cancer genome atlas” were identified as emerging frontiers in recent research.
CONCLUSION The field of TAMs in HCC exhibited considerable potential, as evidenced by the promising prospects of immunotherapeutic interventions targeting TAMs for the amelioration of HCC. The emerging frontiers in this field primarily revolved around modulating the immunosuppressive characteristics of TAMs within a liver-specific immune environment, with a focus on how to counter immune evasion and reduce immune infiltration.

Abstract
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a multifactorial retinal disease influenced by complex molecular mechanisms, including genetic susceptibility, inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic dysregulation. While substantial progress has been made in understanding its pathogenesis, the full molecular underpinnings of AMD remain unclear, impeding the effectiveness of current therapeutic strategies. This study provides an in-depth exploration of the molecular interactions involved in AMD progression, particularly focusing on genetic predispositions (such as CFH, ARMS2/HTRA1, and APOE), inflammatory pathways (including complement system dysregulation and cytokine responses), lipid metabolism (e.g., cholesterol homeostasis and drusen formation), and angiogenesis (VEGF signaling). Through a systematic review and bibliometric analysis of literature published between 2015 and 2025, the study identifies emerging research trends, existing gaps, and promising future therapeutic directions. It further investigates innovative precision medicine approaches, including gene editing (CRISPR), RNA therapeutics (siRNA, antisense oligonucleotides), immunomodulatory therapies, and nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems. Additionally, the study examines the role of metabolic disorders such as diabetes and dyslipidemia in AMD progression, highlighting the influence of systemic health factors on disease onset. Finally, the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing AMD management through biomarker-based risk stratification, predictive modeling, and personalized treatment optimization is assessed. By mapping the intricate molecular networks underlying AMD and evaluating novel therapeutic strategies, this research aims to contribute to the development of more effective, individualized treatment protocols for patients with AMD.

Digital Biomarkers for Parkinson Disease: Bibliometric Analysis and a Scoping Review of Deep Learning for Freezing of Gait. J Med Internet Res 2025; 27:e71560. [PMID: 40392578 DOI: 10.2196/71560] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2025] [Revised: 02/27/2025] [Accepted: 03/19/2025] [Indexed: 05/22/2025] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND With the rapid development of digital biomarkers in Parkinson disease (PD) research, it has become increasingly important to explore the current research trends and key areas of focus. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the current status, hot spots, and future trends of global PD biomarker research, and provide a systematic review of deep learning models for freezing of gait (FOG) digital biomarkers. METHODS This study used bibliometric analysis based on the Web of Science Core Collection database to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the multidimensional landscape of Parkinson digital biomarkers. After identifying research hot spots, the study also followed the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines for a scoping review of deep learning models for FOG from 5 databases: Web of Science, PubMed, IEEE Xplore, Embase, and Google Scholar. RESULTS A total of 750 studies were included in the bibliometric analysis, and 40 studies were included in the scoping review. The analysis revealed a growing number of related publications, with 3700 researchers contributing. Neurology had the highest average annual participation rate (12.46/19, 66%). The United States contributed the most research (192/1171, 16.4%), with 210 participating institutions, which was the highest among all countries. In the study of deep learning models for FOG, the average accuracy of the models was 0.92, sensitivity was 0.88, specificity was 0.90, and area under the curve was 0.91. In addition, 31 (78%) studies indicated that the best models were primarily convolutional neural networks or convolutional neural networks-based architectures. CONCLUSIONS Research on digital biomarkers for PD is currently at a stable stage of development, with widespread global interest from countries, institutions, and researchers. However, challenges remain, including insufficient interdisciplinary and interinstitutional collaboration, as well as a lack of corporate funding for related projects. Current research trends primarily focus on motor-related studies, particularly FOG monitoring. However, deep learning models for FOG still lack external validation and standardized performance reporting. Future research will likely progress toward deeper applications of artificial intelligence, enhanced interinstitutional collaboration, comprehensive analysis of different data types, and the exploration of digital biomarkers for a broader range of Parkinson symptoms.

Abstract
ObjectiveIschemic optic neuropathy (ION) is one of major causes of blindness or severe visual impairment. However, controversies persist regarding its pathogenesis, clinical features and management. This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis to provide an assessment of current status and emerging trends in the field of ION.MethodsPublications spanning from January 2014 to Jun 2024 were retrieved, using the Web of Science Core Collection. Bibliometric and visualized analyses were performed employing the bibliometrix, CiteSpace and VOSviewer.ResultsA total of 776 papers met the inclusion criteria and a fluctuated publication trend was observed. The United States was the leading country. Research topics in ION field encompassed non-arteritic anterior ION (NAION), optical coherence tomography angiography, neuroprotection, optical coherence tomography, spine surgery, giant cell arteritis (GCA), optic disc diameter, peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures, vaccination, and branch retinal vein occlusion, based on the co-citation references analysis. The keywords "COVID-19", "oxidative stress", "inflammation" and "optic neuritis" experienced burst lasting until 2024.ConclusionDuring the past decade, advancements in in vivo imaging techniques are continually enhancing our understanding of the pathogenesis of ION and facilitating accurate diagnosis. NAION has been a prominent research topic, covering its pathogenesis, clinical features, and management. Studies on arteritic ION and GCA have garnered widespread attention, especially due to advances in treatments. Future research is warranted to identify standardized therapies for non-arteritic ION, potentially incorporating neuroprotective agents, and to formulate steroid-sparing treatment strategies aimed at preventing vision loss in arteritic ION, rather than merely addressing GCA.

[PMID: 40438372 PMCID: PMC12116356 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2025.1554875] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2025] [Accepted: 04/24/2025] [Indexed: 06/01/2025] Open
Abstract
Introduction Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) represents a significant challenge in obstetrics and reproductive medicine. Causative factors in 40%-50% of RSA couples remain unknown, a condition termed unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA). This study employed bibliometric analysis to elucidate global research trends and identify key areas of interest in URSA. Methods We utilized the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), including Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), as our data source. Our search encompassed all publications on URSA published between 1 January 2014 and 30 October 2024. Following rigorous removal of duplicates, we retained 586 relevant publications, including 532 original articles and 54 reviews. We conducted bibliometric analysis using CiteSpace, VOSviewer and Microsoft Excel. Results Analysis of annual publications and their citations demonstrated significant growth over the last 10 years. China, the United States and Iran emerged as the most productive countries in the field. Author distribution indicated the absence of a cohesive core author group, suggesting a dispersed research community. The top five cited publications included one prospective observational study, one randomized controlled trial, two reviews, and one immunohistochemistry study, focusing on the etiology, interventions, and therapies of URSA. Keyword cluster analysis identified six categories, with the top three keywords being "expression," "polymorphisms," and "regulatory T-cells." Conclusion This bibliometric analysis reveals three key research domains over the last decade in URSA: immunological mechanism and therapies, genetic mechanism, and anticoagulation therapies. While these areas have advanced our understanding, limitations persist in etiological heterogeneity and therapeutic inconsistencies. Future studies should prioritize rigorous multicenter trials with phenotypic stratification, and multi-omics approaches for mechanistic insights. Enhanced global collaboration and interdisciplinary integration are essential to transition from empirical management to evidence-based precision medicine in URSA.

Abstract
Background Transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique with promising clinical potential. Its therapeutic efficacy and safety are significantly influenced by stimulation parameters. However, the global research hotspots and future research trends of TUS application in the field of rehabilitation are unclear. This study analyzes the status of TUS research. Understand the annual publication trends, international and institutional cooperation pattern and influential authors and journals and keyword hotspot. Methods A comprehensive literature search was conducted on the Web of Science core database using TUS-related subject headings until 27 December 2024. Two researchers independently screened articles based on pre-determined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Software packages such as CiteSpace and VOSviewer were used to visualize the results. Results A total of 577 literatures were included. The results show that the annual publication volume shows an increasing trend, reaching a peak in 2024. The United States, China and Germany dominated the number of publications, with the largest number of institutions being Harvard University, the University of Toronto and Brigham and Women's Hospital. Brain stimulation is the journal with the most articles and citations. Research hotspots include transcranial magnetic stimulation, noninvasive brain stimulation, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. Conclusion A bibliometric analysis of the literature shows that research interest in transcranial ultrasound stimulation is growing rapidly, with annual publications growing exponentially since 2013 and receiving increasing attention from researchers. The findings suggest that TUS is currently used primarily in neurological diseases, particularly in the study of Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. At the same time, it is found that an emerging international cooperation model with the partnership between the United States, China and Germany as the core has gradually taken shape. Although preclinical studies have shown promising neuromodulator effects, the current study suggests that TUS needs to undergo further multicenter clinical validation. These findings provide evidence to guide future research priorities for non-invasive neuromodulation.

J Control Release 2025; 381:113454. [PMID: 39922288 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2025.01.045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2024] [Revised: 01/15/2025] [Accepted: 01/17/2025] [Indexed: 02/10/2025]
Abstract
Although there are many challenges in using nanobodies for treating various complex tumor diseases, including rapid renal clearance and the complex blood-brain barrier environment, nanobodies have shown great potential due to their high antigen affinity, excellent tumor penetration ability, and favorable safety profile. Since the discovery of the variable domain (VHH) of camelid heavy-chain antibodies in 1993, nanobodies have been progressively applied to various cancer therapy platforms, such as antagonistic drugs and targeting agents for effector domains. In recent years, several nanobody-based drugs, including Caplacizumab, KN-035, and Ozoralizumab, have been approved for clinical use. Among them, KN-035 is used for treating advanced solid tumors, and these advancements have propelled nanobody development to new heights. Currently, nanobodies are being rapidly applied to the treatment of a wide range of diseases, from viral infections to cancer, demonstrating strong advantages in areas such as targeted protein degradation, bioimaging, nanobody-drug conjugation, bispecific T-cell engagers, and vaccine applications. Bibliometric tools, including CiteSpace, HisCite Pro, and Alluvial Generator, were employed to trace the historical development of nanobodies in cancer research. The contributions of authors, countries, and institutions in this field were analyzed, and research hotspots and emerging trends were identified through keyword analysis and influential articles. Future trends were also predicted. This study provides a unique, comprehensive, and objective perspective on the use of nanobodies in tumor research, laying a foundation for future research directions and offering valuable insights for researchers in the field.

Abstract
BackgroundAlzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by amyloid-β plaques and tau aggregates, with autophagy dysfunction playing a key pathogenic role. While autophagy modulation shows therapeutic promise, comprehensive bibliometric analyses are lacking.ObjectiveThis study aims to map the research landscape of autophagy in AD through bibliometric analysis, identifying key trends, contributors, and emerging focus areas.MethodsWe analyzed 4018 publications (2003-2023) from Web of Science using VOSviewer and CiteSpace. Publication trends, influential authors, countries, institutions, and research hotspots were examined through co-occurrence, burst detection, and clustering analyses.ResultsAnnual publications have steadily increased, peaking in 2022. The US led in output and citations, with major contributions from the University of California and New York University. Ralph A. Nixon emerged as the most influential author. Early research (2003-2013) primarily focused on protein degradation mechanisms, whereas recent studies (2014-2023) emphasize mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, and related pathways. Key evolving topics include endoplasmic reticulum stress and chaperone-mediated autophagy, with significant implications for therapeutic innovation.ConclusionsAutophagy plays a critical role in AD pathogenesis and represents a promising therapeutic target. Despite mechanistic advances, clinical translation remains challenging. Future research should prioritize multi-omics integration, drug delivery optimization, and managing risks associated with excessive autophagy activation. These findings provide valuable insights for developing novel AD therapies targeting autophagy.

[PMID: 40324218 PMCID: PMC12055079 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000042257] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2024] [Revised: 11/23/2024] [Accepted: 11/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2025] Open
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is estimated to impact 693 million individuals globally by 2045. Diabetes remission has the potential to slow disease progression, alleviate psychological burdens, minimize complications, and improve quality of life. We aimed to perform a bibliometric analysis of research on T2DM remission. We searched the Web of Science (WoS) database to identify relevant publications on T2DM remission during 2002 to 2022. Research trends and hotspots in T2DM remission were analyzed using Bibliometrix R and CiteSpace. The analysis considered various factors such as publication year, authors, journal, institution, country/region, themes, thematic evolution, keywords, and keyword bursts. The WoS search yielded 2254 articles. The annual scientific output has consistently increased. Lee was the most prolific author (48 papers). Obesity surgery was the leading journal (296 publications), while diabetes care had the highest h_index (43). The University of Copenhagen was the most active institution (116 papers). The most productive countries were the US (476), China (347), the UK (180), Italy (121), and Japan (90). The top 3 keywords were "bariatric surgery," "weight loss," and "remission." From 2013 to 2015, the usage of the term "medical therapy" significantly surged, lasting for 3 years. The term "GLP-I receptor agonists" also had a lasting burst. In the past 5 years, "weight loss" and "low-calorie diets" have emerged as prominent areas of research. This study analyzed the research trends and key factors in the field of type 2 diabetes mitigation through bibliometrics, providing important data support and a basis for decision-making for future research and public health policies.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the common chronic arthritis in middle-aged and elderly people, but the effect of lipid metabolism on OA is still unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the value of lipid metabolism markers as emerging biomarkers for assessing OA disease activity. The literature on OA and lipid metabolism indicators was extensively analyzed by bibliometric. Correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between lipid profile indicators (total cholesterol; triglycerides [TG]; high density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C]; and low density lipoprotein cholesterol) and immunoinflammatory indicators (high sensitivity C-reactive protein; erythrocyte sedimentation rate [ESR]) in patients with OA as well as the disease activity level (visual analog scale (VAS). Logistic regression modeling was used to calculate univariate and multivariate factors of disease activity. A total of 843 papers were retrieved. China and the United States are the 2 most productive countries in this field, and the United States has the highest H-index. In addition, Osteoarthritis and Cartilage is the most published journal. OA lipid metabolism research has long focused on inflammation, lipid metabolism, and pain. The levels of inflammation (ESR, high sensitivity C-reactive protein) and lipid metabolism indicators (total cholesterol; TG, HDL-C) were significantly increased in OA patients. Inflammation indicators were significantly correlated with lipid metabolism indicators. In addition, HDL-C, ESR, and TG were identified as independent influencing factors for OA-VAS. In summary, the role of lipid metabolism in OA has been a hot topic. Markers of inflammation and lipid metabolism were independent influencing factors of OA-VAS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients exhibit neurological symptoms, driving research in sleep medicine and clinical neurology. Neurologists and radiologists explore detection methods to identify unique neural features associated with OSA in the atypical nervous system. Neuroimaging research in OSA encompasses studying the structural, functional connectivity (FC), and neurometabolic aspects of the brain. Limited resources and OSA's heterogeneity pose challenges to effective neuroimaging research. This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of OSA neuroimaging research to identify key trends and emerging themes. METHODS This research utilizes various techniques, including functional MRI, structural MRI, diffusion tensor imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and electroencephalography, among others. Publications from 1993 to 2023 were retrieved from Web of Science on neuroimaging. Analysis tools included Bibliometric.com, CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and R4.3.2. RESULTS A total of 714 papers were published in 47 countries, with 651 articles, 55 reviews, and 8 meeting abstracts. The USA led in publications, with the University of California System contributing most, primarily in "Sleep" journal. The study identified 2916 authors, with Macey PM having the highest publication count. Recent years highlighted burst keywords such as network, classification, sleep staging, FC, and brain activity. Analysis of keyword clusters revealed "electroencephalography" with the longest temporal duration. CONCLUSIONS Neuroimaging in OSA research has gained increased attention. Incorporating behavioral sleep medicine insights could enhance understanding of OSA's impact on brain function and behavior. This study aims to assist researchers in identifying potential collaborators, institutions, and key themes, providing a comprehensive perspective on OSA neuroimaging research and related sleep disorders.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2025; 383:125402. [PMID: 40262497 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2025.125402] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2025] [Revised: 04/06/2025] [Accepted: 04/13/2025] [Indexed: 04/24/2025]
Abstract
Soil contamination by heavy metals is a global environmental challenge, poses a serious risk to plant life, human health, and global food supply. In recent years, advanced and effective remediation strategies for heavy metal-contaminated soils have developed rapidly, and a systematic summarization of this progress is important. Based on 2822 bibliographic data (2014-2023) acquired from the Web of Science Core Collection, the research status, hotspots and trends of heavy metal-contaminated sites worldwide had been synthetically analyzed in scientometrics. The results showed that China, India, and the USA were the most active countries in related research, and the main research subjects were the assessment of contaminated sites and remediation methods. The keywords showed 3 co-occurrence clusters, focusing on site characterization, phytoremediation and physical-chemical remediation. The time zone view shows a multidisciplinary amalgamation tendency particular in methods such as using artificial intelligence and remote sensing to predict spatial distribution and migration characteristics of heavy metals. Regarding the types of contaminated sites, the most frequently studied are mining sites and industrial waste sites. Among heavy metals, Cd, Pb, and Zn are the most commonly studied pollutants. The heavy metal contamination in soil, ranked by the geo-accumulation index, is as follows: Cd (5.91) > Pb (4.12) > Zn (3.73) > Cu (2.37) > Cr (1.85) > Ni (1.34). In terms of remediation technologies, the frequency of utilization is ranked as follows: phytoremediation > microbial remediation > soil washing > electrokinetic remediation > oxidation reduction > solidification/stabilization > thermal desorption > soil replacement. Additionally, phytoremediation and soil washing are the most effective technologies for removing Cd, Pb, and Zn. The insights derived from this study contribute to a deeper understanding of the state-of-the-art in this field and help to develop/select applicable methods for the effective remediation of heavy metal-contaminated sites.

Abstract
Silkie chickens are a unique breed renowned for their pigmentation, food and medicine homology properties, and distinctive appearance, making them highly valuable in exhibitions, as pets, in medicinal cuisine, and as a model for melanin research. Despite their vast potential, the growing volume of publications and patents related to Silkie chicken highlights the critical need for systematic organization, summarization, and analysis of this wealth of information. For the first time, this study employs bibliometric tools to summarize and analyze 114 years of research on Silkie chicken. Our study demonstrates that academic studies primarily focus on their nutritional value, melanin production, and genetic mechanisms, while patents emphasize food formulations, breeding methods, and purebred identification. Although there has been significant growth in publications and citations since 2001, international collaboration remains limited. This study presents the need for integrated and multidisciplinary research to unlock the full potential of Silkie chicken and provides a foundational framework for future studies and applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a chronic progressive fibrosis of oral mucosa, with the possibility of eventually progressing to oral cancer, remaining unclear pathogenesis, and a lack of targeted therapies. This study aims to analyze current research progress from a bibliometric perspective to guide the way forward. METHODS Documents in the Web of Science Core Collection database from 1999 to August 31, 2023 were thoroughly searched using a given query. After selection, years of publishing, countries, institutions, authors, journals, and keywords were analyzed using bibliometric software. RESULTS The bibliometric results of 1522 documents show that India and China were the most productive countries in this field. Central South University has published the most papers. The Journal of Oral Pathology & Medicine and Oral Oncology were the leading journals. Betel nut, oral cancer, malignant transformation, and fibroblast were the main focuses during recent study periods. We also analyzed differences between studies in betel chewing and nonchewing areas. Notably, scholars pay more attention to the pathogenesis of OSF in the former, while the relationship between OSF and cancer is more concerning in the latter, such as in the United Kingdom and the United States. CONCLUSION Findings from this study provide an overview of the current research and reveal the future hotspot of the OSF research. It suggests that exploring the pathogenesis and mechanisms of malignant transformation in OSF will be a focal point in future research. Advancements in the prevention and treatment of OSF could significantly enhance patients' quality of life and reduce mortality associated with oral cancer.

Abstract
Critical infrastructure systems (CISs) are the cornerstone of modern cities. Substantial economic losses and social impacts are caused once natural disasters or man-made disruptions attack the CISs. As a "resilient city" has become an essential theme of communities' sustainable development, research on resilience and its practice in industries boost the CISs' capacity to respond and adapt to changing environments. From the Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection, this study screened 1,247 scientific articles related to resilience in CISs and conducted a bibliometric analysis to investigate the evolution and future potential in this field. Topic visualized networks were constructed for CIS resilience using CiteSpace, a dedicated tool for visualizing and analyzing trends and patterns in scientific literature. The results demonstrate collaborative research networks among countries, institutions, main scholar/group networks, and leading journals publishing CIS resilience work. This study also explained how the research interest evolved over the last 20 years and found the current frontiers pointing to "power systems resilience" and "supply chain resilience." The reasons were discussed subsequently from the perspectives of the influence that natural hazards (based on the EM-DAT data) and government policies have upon CISs' resilience work.

[PMID: 40307540 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-025-07403-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2024] [Revised: 03/05/2025] [Accepted: 03/11/2025] [Indexed: 05/02/2025]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rheumatic disease is a kind of disease dominated by inflammatory lesions of connective tissue and abnormal immune function. It mostly belongs to autoimmune diseases or connective tissue diseases affecting multiple organs. Meanwhile, understanding the role of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) in pathogenesis is rapidly developing. This study aims at summarizing the hotspots in rheumatology studies related to RBPs. METHODS Scientific papers on RBPs related to rheumatology between 1982 and 2022 were gathered from the Web of Science database. The data analysis and visualization were obtained using the Bibliometrix package. Bibliometrix package was used to analyze bibliometric indicators and visualize the trends and hotspots of the research. RESULTS A total of 964 articles met the requirement. From 1982 to 2022, the USA and Anhui Medical University were the most productive country and institution, respectively, in this field. Arthritis and Rheumatism, Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases and Arthritis & Rheumatology were the top three periodicals obtained by Bradford's law. Co-word analysis divided the keywords into three clusters, focusing on diagnosis and classification of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, pathogenesis of osteoarthritis and pathogenesis of Rheumatoid Arthritis, respectively. Trend topic analysis revealed that pathogenesis and classification of rheumatic diseases might be the research trend. CONCLUSION Focusing on RBPs in rheumatic diseases, we illustrated the evolution of this field and predicted future research hotspots. The research trend topics have evolved towards clinical classification and pathogenesis at the molecular and genetic level. The pathogenic mechanism in rheumatic diseases will continue to be a hotspot in the future. Besides, the classification of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus patients may be another hotspot. Researchers are recommended to pay more attention to hotspots demonstrated in the future. Key Points • Bibliometrix package was used to analyze bibliometric indicators and visualize the trends and hotspots of the research. • Focusing on RBPs in rheumatic diseases, we illustrated the evolution of this field and predicted future research hotspots. • The research trend topics have evolved towards clinical classification and the pathogenesis at the molecular and genetic level. • The pathogenic mechanism in rheumatic diseases will continue to be a hotspot in the future.

Huang T, Wu Y. A Bibliometric Analysis of Nurses' Job Satisfaction From 2004 to 2023. J Nurs Manag 2025; 2025:4285361. [PMID: 40337624 PMCID: PMC12058320 DOI: 10.1155/jonm/4285361] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2024] [Revised: 11/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/08/2025] [Indexed: 05/09/2025]
Abstract
Aim: To conduct a bibliometric analysis of the nurses' job satisfaction from 2004 to 2023. Design: The bibliometric and visual analysis was performed in January 2024. Methods: Bibliometric approaches were applied to analyse 11,993 articles, utilising R and VOSviewer software. Results: Articles published by 24,155 authors from 1735 distinct sources between 2004 and 2023 were retrieved from the Web of Science and incorporated into the research's purview. The most productive nation and institution correspondingly were the United States and the University of Toronto. The leading scholars in this sphere were Spence Laschinger, Heather K, Labrague, Leodoro J, and Rodwell, John according to Price's Law, author co-citation and bibliographic-coupling network analysis. 14,152 keywords about nurses' job satisfaction study were discovered in this research. The most common keywords encompassed "job satisfaction," "nurses," "burnout," "turnover," and "intention" It was also observed that while trend topics like "work engagement" "COVID-19" and "grit" have gained popularity recently, the most commonly employed trend topics in earlier years included "empirical research report" "longitudinal study," and "organizational characteristics." Conclusion: Research on nurses' job satisfaction remains relatively limited and requires more attention, especially in developing countries. Developed countries, especially the United Kingdom and the United States, are the main contributors to nurse job satisfaction research. In the early days, nurse job satisfaction research mainly focused on the current status and influencing factors of nurse job satisfaction in different medical organizations, nurse groups or departments, while more researchers have recently paid more attention to research on specific issues emerging in this field, such as the impact of COVID-19 on nurse job satisfaction and turnover. In addition, scholars in the field of nurse job satisfaction focus on finding the real determinants of job satisfaction of adult practicing nurses, such as interpersonal value consistency, human resource management, and the impact of job satisfaction of adult nurses in different medical environments. Topics such as "perseverance," "COVID-19" and "work engagement" may be potential focuses for future research. Furthermore, transnational research should be given greater emphasis to investigate whether the major factors and effective interferences of nurses' job satisfaction differ between cultures and more multicenter as well as big sample studies should be conducted to efficiently improve nurses' job satisfaction. Impact: This study used bibliometric analysis to examine the most contributing nations, institutions, authors, trend topics, and research focus. Data on the present state of nurses' job satisfaction research, including its knowledge maps, study emphasis, and thematic trends are few. The findings of this research can lay a strong basis for future research and offer direction. No Patient or Public Contribution: There were no humankind subjects in the bibliometric analysis of published papers.

Abstract
The role of the autonomic nervous system in cardiovascular diseases has increasingly attracted the attention of researchers. This study aims to review research on the autonomic nervous system in arrhythmias from 2004 to 2024, with a focus on understanding the development trends in this field. Data for this study were sourced from the Web of Science Core Collection. We constructed and analyzed bibliometric visualizations related to publication trends, countries/regions, institutions, journals, research categories, themes, references, and keywords. Over the past two decades, academic output related to the autonomic nervous system's role in arrhythmias has grown, although global research distribution remains uneven. The United States leads in publication volume and is home to many high-output institutions, providing it with significant academic influence and fostering international collaboration. By summarizing high-citation literature, clustering keywords, and performing a "burst detection" analysis of keywords, we identified that the mechanisms and assessment methods for autonomic nervous system regulation are major research focuses. Recent hotspots include the psychopathology related to the autonomic nervous system and autonomic regulation therapies. As the biomedical field shifts toward precision medicine, future research trends are likely to focus on identifying precise biomarkers for assessing autonomic nervous system function and developing novel strategies to regulate it. These strategies may include correcting immune dysfunction, psychological interventions, and surgical treatments. This study suggests that ganglionated plexi ablation may represent the most transformative intervention strategy for the Autonomic Nervous System currently available, and highlights electrodermal activity as an evaluation index with considerable potential for widespread application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infertility is a significant global reproductive health challenge with varying prevalence across regions. While assisted reproductive technologies, especially in vitro fertilization, have created new possibilities for treating infertility, embryo transfer success remains limited by multiple factors, particularly endometrial receptivity. Understanding the relationship between embryo transfer and endometrial receptivity is crucial for advancing reproductive medicine and improving infertility treatment outcomes. To address the lack of bibliometric analysis in this field, we conducted a comprehensive bibliometric study of relevant academic literature. METHODS We analyzed articles and reviews on endometrial receptivity and embryo transfer from the Web of Science Core Collection using CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Bibliometrix package. The analysis focused on countries, institutions, journals, authors, keywords, and references. RESULTS We identified 1478 documents published over 2 decades, showing an upward trend in annual publications. China led in publication volume, while the USA had the highest citation impact. The University of Valencia and Shanghai Jiao Tong University were the most productive institutions, with fertility and sterility being the leading journal. Simón, C emerged as the most influential author based on publication count and citations. Key research areas included comparing fresh versus frozen embryo transfer, addressing repeated implantation failure, and improving endometrial receptivity. The endometrial receptivity array for personalized embryo transfer represents an emerging research direction in reproductive medicine. CONCLUSION This first comprehensive bibliometric analysis of embryo transfer and endometrial receptivity research provides valuable insights into knowledge development, research hotspots, and future directions in the field, serving as a crucial reference for scholars in reproductive medicine.

Abstract
Background Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) significantly increases postoperative mortality and healthcare costs. Despite the growing volume of CSA-AKI research, the field remains fragmented, with challenges in identifying high-impact studies, collaborative networks, and emerging trends. Bibliometric analysis addresses these gaps by systematically mapping knowledge structures, revealing research priorities, and guiding resource allocation for both researchers and clinicians. Method We analyzed 4,474 CSA-AKI-related publications (2014-2023) from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, the Bibliometrix Package in R, and the bibliometric online analysis platform. Results Annual publications increased steadily, with the USA and China leading productivity. The Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia serves as the foremost preferred journal within this domain. Critical Care (IF = 15.1) has the highest impact factor. Yunjie Li published the most papers. John A Kellum has the highest H-index. The definition, pathogenesis or etiology, diagnosis, prediction, prevention and treatment, which are the research basis in CSA-AKI. Machine learning (ML) and prediction models emerged as dominant frontiers (2021-2023), reflecting a shift toward personalized risk stratification and real-time perioperative decision-making. These advancements align with clinical demands for early AKI detection and precision prevention. Conclusion This study not only maps the evolution of CSA-AKI research but also identifies priority areas for innovation: multicenter validation of predictive models to strengthen generalizability, preventive nephrology frameworks for long-term AKI survivor monitoring, and randomized controlled trials to confirm efficacy of machine learning-based CSA-AKI prediction tools.

[PMID: 40279640 PMCID: PMC12064981 DOI: 10.2196/69465] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2024] [Revised: 02/19/2025] [Accepted: 03/31/2025] [Indexed: 04/27/2025] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Creating a sustainable, patient-centered health care system necessitates integrated supply chains supported by information technologies. However, achieving interoperability among various devices and systems remains a significant hurdle. Our research highlights the need for systematic reviews that address health care interoperability as a holistic knowledge domain. Notably, we observed a lack of studies that outline its structure or develop a comprehensive, high-order facet-based taxonomy from the perspective of supply or value chains. This study aims to address that gap. OBJECTIVE The primary aim of this study is to elucidate the knowledge structure within the extensive domain of health care interoperability, with an emphasis on trending topics, critical hot spots, and the categorization of significant issues. Furthermore, we aim to model the higher-order elements of a taxonomy for health care interoperability within the context of the health care value chain framework. METHODS We used both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework guided our selection process. We examined 6 databases-Scopus, Web of Science, IEEE Xplore, Embase, Cochrane, and PubMed-focusing on journal articles and gray literature published from 2011 onward. Articles were screened using predefined eligibility criteria. Quantitative bibliometric techniques-including cluster, factor, and network analyses-were applied to explore the structure of the knowledge. A subset of articles was selected for qualitative synthesis using an iterative coding process to develop a higher-order facet-based taxonomy. RESULTS We identified 370 articles for quantitative analysis. The bibliometric analysis revealed 2 major clusters. Key terms in the first cluster included interoperability, electronic health record, and eHealth-with betweenness centralities of 70.971, 59.460, and 12.000, respectively, and closeness centralities of 0.047, 0.043, and 0.034, respectively. In the second cluster, the most relevant terms were IoT, blockchain, and health care-with betweenness centralities of 6.765, 2.581, and 1.283, respectively, and closeness centralities of 0.034, 0.030, and 0.030, respectively. Factor analysis explained 59.46% of the variance in a 2-factor model, with the first dimension accounting for 36.78% and the second dimension for 22.68%. The qualitative review of 79 articles yielded a taxonomy with 4 higher-order facets: object (what is shared), source (what mechanism is used), ambit (space covered), and content (technology primarily involved). Each facet extended to a third level of classification. CONCLUSIONS The comprehensive domain of health care interoperability, viewed through the lens of a sustainable value chain, encompasses studies that highlight various facets or attributes. These studies underscore the relevance of eHealth within this knowledge domain and reflect a strong focus on 2 key health information technologies: electronic health records and the Internet of Things.

Cheong YL, Mohd Ghazali S, Mat Hashim MH, Che Ibrahim MK, Amran A, Tiunh TY, Lim HL, Cheah YK, Gill BS, Lim KH. Exploring 97 Years of Aedes aegypti as the Vector for Dengue, Yellow Fever, Zika, and Chikungunya (Diptera: Culicidae): Scientometric Analysis. Interact J Med Res 2025; 14:e65844. [PMID: 40267478 PMCID: PMC12059494 DOI: 10.2196/65844] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2024] [Revised: 01/26/2025] [Accepted: 02/12/2025] [Indexed: 04/25/2025] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Aedes aegypti is an important vector that transmits dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever viruses. Although research on Aedes aegypti has been conducted for decades, scientometric studies on Aedes aegypti are scarce, are limited to regions, and cover short periods. Thus, there is still a knowledge gap in the current trend, research focuses and directions, leading authors and collaboration, journal and citation impacts, countries, and worldwide collaborations. OBJECTIVE The objectives of the study are to investigate the research trend, focus and directions, citation impact, leading authors and collaboration, journals, and countries of the published works on Aedes aegypti to inform the current knowledge gaps and future direction of the control of the vector. METHODS In this study, we searched the Scopus database for articles on Aedes aegypti published from the year 1927 until April 5th, 2024, and included articles, reviews, books, and book chapters that were written in English. A total of 16,247 articles in 160 journals with 481,479 citations were included. Inconsistencies in authors' names were checked and cleaned using OpenRefine. The data were grouped into 4 periods; years 1927-1999, 2000-2009, 2010-2019, and 2020-2023. The relative growth rate and doubling time of publications were calculated. The analysis was conducted using VOSviewer, R bibliometrics, and citeSpace. RESULTS The overall RGR was 0.1. Doubling time increased from 9.3 in 1978-1998 to 12.1 in 2000-2009. The main research clusters were "using Wolbachia," "Dengue Zika," "worldwide diversity," "community support," "larvicidal activity," "mosquito genotype-dependent," and "sterile insect technique." Journal of Medical Entomology was the leading journal (758/16,247, 4.7%). The most cited articles were authored by Halstead SB and team in Science (N=1355) and Kraemer MU and team in eLife (N=1324). The United States (5806/23,538, 24.7%) and Brazil (2035/23,538, 8.6%) were the top countries. Gubler DJ was the top co-cited author (n=2892) from 2000 to 2019. The co-cited author cluster patterns informed the significant specialty research on Aedes aegypti across time. Authors from various specialized research fields tended to collaborate across countries, especially neighboring countries. Countries with more research funding on the study of Aedes aegypti published more papers. CONCLUSIONS Researchers or entomologists could understand the current knowledge gap on Aedes aegypti and plan for future research pathways. This study contributed to the public health stakeholders in improving the vector control interventions and elucidated the extent of research subject areas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with a poor prognosis despite advancements in diagnosis and treatment. Metabolic reprogramming, a key feature of cancer, allows tumor cells to survive and grow under harsh conditions, making it a crucial area of study. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of global trends, influential studies, and key developments in this field. METHODS We conducted a bibliometric analysis using the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database from 2004 to 2024. Publications related to metabolic reprogramming and lung cancer were retrieved and analyzed using VOSviewer and CiteSpace to examine publication trends, research collaborations, keyword co-occurrence, and citation networks. RESULTS A total of 1078 publications were analyzed, with research output increasing significantly after 2015. China and the United States were the leading contributors, engaging in extensive international collaborations. Pioneering studies by researchers such as Ralph J. DeBerardinis and Otto Warburg underscored the importance of altered metabolism in lung cancer. Key emerging topics included the role of cancer stem cells, changes in tumor metabolism, and new treatment approaches targeting metabolic pathways. The integration of laboratory research with clinical applications, including novel drugs and immunotherapies, demonstrated promising directions for future treatments. CONCLUSIONS This bibliometric analysis maps the research landscape of metabolic reprogramming in lung cancer, identifying influential contributors and emerging research themes. Future studies should explore advanced technologies like single-cell analysis and investigate how metabolic changes are regulated at the molecular level. A deeper understanding of these processes could lead to innovative treatment strategies and better patient outcomes.
