Project description:Background: Antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) is a promising therapy for solid cancer that has raised global concern. Although several papers have reviewed the current state of ADCs in different solid cancers, a quantitative analysis of the publications in this field is scarce. Methods: Publications related to ADC in the field of solid cancer were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection. Data analyses were performed with VOSviewer 1.6.9, HistCite 2.1, CiteSpace V and R package Bibliometrix. Results: A total of 3,482 records were obtained in the holistic field and 1,197 in the clinical field. Steady growth in the number of publications was observed. The United States was the leading contributor in this field. Krop IE was the most influential author. The most productive institution was Genentech Inc., while Mem Sloan Kettering Canc Ctr was the most cited one. The most impactful journal was the Journal of Clinical Oncology. A total of 37 burst references and five burst references were identified between 2017-2022 in the holistic and clinical fields, respectively. Keywords analysis indicated that ADCs research mainly involved breast cancer, triple-negative breast cancer, ovarian cancer, small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, gastric cancer, and urothelial carcinoma. ADC agents including trastuzumab emtansine, trastuzumab deruxtecan, sacituzumab govitecan, enfortumab vedotin, and rovalpituzumab tesirine were highly studied. Targets including HER2, trophoblast cell-surface antigen, mesothelin, delta-like ligand 3, and nectin-4 were the major concerns. Conclusion: This study analyzed publications concerning ADCs in the field of solid cancer with bibliometric analysis. Further clinical trials of ADCs and designs of the next generation of ADCs are the current focuses of the field. Acquired resistance of ADCs and biomarkers for ADC therapy efficacy monitoring are future concerns.
Project description:ObjectiveIn the past decade, thousands of original articles focus on labor analgesia have published. However, little has been published in the literature that includes a bibliometric analysis of labor analgesia. Therefore, this study is designed to analyze the current status of research on labor analgesia over the past ten years and explore potential directions for the future.MethodsWe retrieved the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) for labor analgesia articles published from 2013 to 2023 and extracted the data from the literature. To perform the bibliometric analysis, we used CiteSpace (6.2. R5) and VOS viewer (1.6.19) as our primary analysis tools.ResultsA total of 2406 articles were included, and the number of publications has increased steadily in the last ten years. The United States was the leading contributor to the area, and Harvard University was the most productive institution. The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology was the most cited and influential journal. The most co-cited reference was "Epidural versus non-epidural or no analgesia for pain management in labour". The labels of the co-citation cluster have identified the characteristics of 5major clusters, such as "postpartum depression", "programmed intermittent epidural bolus", "childbirth experience" "intrapartum maternal fever" and "dural puncture", which play important roles in this field. Keywords co-occurrence and keywords burst detection showed that "vaginal birth", "postpartum depression", "maternal fever", "inflammation", "systematic review", "guidelines", "decreased risk" and "scale" were the most recent and most prominent topics of labor analgesia.DiscussionThis study provided a global review of labor analgesia using bibliometric and visual techniques to provide an intuitive understanding of this topic and identify hotspots and research trends. Notably, intrapartum fever and postpartum depression have emerged as hotpots and trends in labor analgesia research, reflecting the current research landscape.
Project description:BackgroundAs the complexity and diversity of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) are becoming better understood, burgeoning research has progressed in this field. However, there is a scarcity of literature specifically focused on the bibliometric analysis of this topic. This study sought to investigate the development pattern of TIME-related research from 2006 to September 14, 2022, from a bibliometric perspective.MethodsWe acquired both articles and reviews related to TIME from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) (retrieved on September 14, 2022). R package "Bibliometrix" was used to calculate the basic bibliometric features, present the collaborative conditions of countries and authors, and generate a three-field plot to show the relationships among authors, affiliations, and keywords. VOSviewer was utilized for co-authorship analysis of country and institution and keyword co-occurrence analysis. CiteSpace was used for citation burst analysis of keywords and cited references. In addition, Microsoft Office Excel 2019 was used to develop an exponential model to fit the cumulative publication numbers.ResultsA total of 2545 publications on TIME were included, and the annual publication trend exhibited a significant increase over time. China and Fudan University were the most productive country and institution, with the highest number of publications of 1495 and 396, respectively. Frontiers in Oncology held the highest number of publications. A number of authors were recognized as the main contributors in this field. The clustering analysis revealed six clusters of keywords that highlighted the research hot spots in the fields of basic medical research, immunotherapy, and various cancer types separately.ConclusionsThis research analyzed 16 years of TIME-related research and sketched out a basic knowledge framework that includes publications, countries, journals, authors, institutions, and keywords. The finding revealed that the current research hot spots of the TIME domain lie in "TIME and cancer prognosis", "cancer immunotherapy", and "immune checkpoint". Our researchers identified the following areas: "immune checkpoint-based immunotherapy", "precise immunotherapy" and "immunocyte pattern", which may emerge as frontiers and focal points in the upcoming years, offering valuable avenues for further exploration.
Project description:Glioma-associated macrophage/microglia (GAM) represents a key player in shaping a unique glioma ecosystem to facilitate tumor progression and therapeutic resistance. Numerous studies have been published concerning GAM, but no relevant bibliometric study has been performed yet. Our bibliometric study aimed to comprehensively summarize and analyze the global scientific output, research hotspots, and trendy topics of publications on GAM over time. Data on publications on GAM were collected using the Web of Science (WoS). The search date was 16 January 2022, and the publications were collected from 2002 to 2021. Totally, 1,224 articles and reviews were incorporated and analyzed in the current study. It showed that the annual publications concerning GAM kept increasing over the past 20 years. The United States had the largest number of publications and total citations. Holland, Kettenmann, and Gutmann were the top three authors in terms of citation frequency. Neuro-oncology represented the most influential journal in GAM studies, with the highest H-index, total citations, and publication numbers. The paper published by Hambardzumyan in 2016 had the highest local citations. Additionally, the analysis of keywords implied that "prognosis," "tumor microenvironment," and "immunotherapy" might become research hotspots. Furthermore, trendy topics in GAM studies suggested that "immune infiltration," "immune microenvironment," "bioinformatics," "prognosis," and "immunotherapy" deserved additional attention. In conclusion, this bibliometric study comprehensively analyzed the publication trend of GAM studies for the past 20 years, in which the research hotspots and trendy topics were also uncovered. This information offered scholars critical references for conducting in-depth studies on GAM in the future.
Project description:BackgroundKeloids remain troublesome for clinicians because of the lack of standard therapy, and the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Bibliometric analysis could be a powerful tool to comprehensively review research trends, evaluate publication performances and provide future perspectives. There is no bibliometric analysis focusing on keloid research.MethodsKeloid related publications were searched in Web of Science Core Collection from the publication year 1990 to 2019. Bibliometric data were provided on document type, annual publication number, most productive journals, publication geography, top potential authors, and highly cited articles. The distribution of single words in article titles was analyzed to evaluate the main research focuses and determine their development trends. Word cluster analysis was further performed to detect emerging trends in keloid research.ResultsThe number of annual articles increased from 24 in 1990 to 63 in 2006 and then increased sharply, reaching 139 in 2019. Dermatologic Surgery published the highest number of articles followed by Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. The USA ranked top with six publication indicators and China had a dramatic increase in the annual number of articles since 2012. Recent research hotspots include underlying pathogenetic mechanisms, keloid treatment, and therapeutic effect evaluation.DiscussionKeloids remain a research focus. Efforts will be continuously made to understand the underlying mechanism of keloid formation. Despite many treatment modalities, there is no gold standard for keloid treatment, and many efforts are being made in the exploration of new therapies. Moreover, it is foreseeable that objective measurement tools will have a higher status in the assessment of keloids and scars.
Project description:Pregnancy and childbirth are major life events for women and their families, characterized by physical, psychological, and emotional changes that can trigger anxiety, depression, and mental disorders in susceptible individuals. Acute labor pain is an independent risk factor for persistent pain in the postpartum period and is associated with depressive disorders. Epidural analgesia is a well-established technique that has commonly been regarded as the gold standard in pain management during labor. Although the relationships between labor pain, labor epidural analgesia, and postpartum depression have been studied by many investigators, the results of these studies are conflicting. Some literature suggest that labor epidural analgesia is associated with a reduction in the incidence of postpartum depression; however, other studies have failed to demonstrate this association. Unmet analgesic needs expectations, unmet birth expectations, and/or the quality of social support during labor may contribute to postpartum depression. The limitations of the published studies included differential misclassification of study variables and residual confounding, variations in the diagnosis of depression, and incomplete history data. Thus, future studies should include information on sociodemographic and patient-level variables and assessments of pain during labor or in the postpartum period. Better management of labor pain should be provided to prevent long-term morbidity and improve maternal and neonatal outcomes. Anesthesiologists could collaboratively work with obstetricians and perinatal psychiatrists to ensure that hospitals prioritize screening and treatment for postpartum depression.
Project description:ObjectivesTo perform a bibliometric analysis of publications of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) from 1981 to 2023 to summarize the current publications and explore frontiers on this topic.MethodsWe integrated the scientific publications on ARVC in the Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection database from January 1981 to September 2023, using the retrieval strategy of medical subject headings combined with keywords. We focused on articles and reviews that were published in English. Relevant information such as the journal and publisher, the title, authors, organizations, abstract, keywords, published date, and number of citations, were collected. Bibliometric analysis was performed and visualized by the R software and Microsoft Excel.ResultsThe results revealed a total of 4792 records related to ARVC from the WOS database, and 2992 original articles or reviews which were selected for bibliometric analysis. There were 79 countries and regions, 3724 research institutions, and 12 157 scholars who have published in this topic. The number of scientific publications of ARVC increased year-by-year, with an annual growth rate of 12.12%. We also investigated the top 10 contributing countries, organizations with affiliations, most influential researchers, highest-cited articles, and highest-frequency keywords. In addition, the most active areas of research on ARVC included that of fatal complications, molecular pathological mechanisms, diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis respectively according to the keywords trend analysis.ConclusionsOur study reports the publication landscape of ARVC during the past four decades based on bibliometric analysis. This study provides a deeper understanding of the published literature on ARVC.
Project description:Consideration of a previous unrecognized twinning of the original investigated crystal of the title compound [Kia et al. (2009 ▶). Acta Cryst. E65, o301] led to improved reliability factors and to a slightly higher precision for all geometric parameters. The crystal under investigation was twinned by pseudo-merohedry with [100, 00, 00] as the twin matrix and a refined twin domain fraction of 0.9610 (5):0.0390 (5). The results of the new crystal structure refinement are given here.[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1107/S1600536809001068.].
