Scientific landscape of oxidative stress in sarcopenia: from bibliometric analysis to hotspots review.

Sarcopenia is a significant healthcare challenge in the aging population. Oxidative stress (OS) is acknowledged to play a pivotal role in the pathological progression of sarcopenia. Numerous studies have demonstrated that mitigating or eliminating OS can ameliorate the pathological manifestations associated with sarcopenia. However, current clinical antioxidant therapies often fall short of anticipated outcomes. This bibliometric analysis aims to delineate prevailing research trends, thematic emphases, focal points, and developmental trajectories within the domain of OS in sarcopenia, while also endeavoring to explore prospective anti-oxidative stress strategies for future clinical interventions. Relevant publications were retrieved from the Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection database for the period 2000-2024. Citespace was employed for retrieving and analyzing trends and emerging topics. In the field of OS in sarcopenia, the number of publications has significantly increased from 2000 to 2024. The United States and China are the primary contributors to global publication output. The most productive research institution is INRAE. The most prolific author is Holly Van Remmen from the United States, while the most frequently cited author is Cruz-Jentoft AJ from Spain. Experimental Gerontology is the journal with the highest volume of published articles, whereas the Journal of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences holds the record for the highest number of citations. The research keywords in this field can be categorized into eight domains: "Physiology and anatomy", "Physiological mechanisms", "Pathology associations", "Experimental studies", "Nutrition and metabolism", "Sports and physical activities", "Age" and "Oxidation and antioxidation". Moreover, recent years have seen the emergence of "TNF-α," "insulin resistance", "mitochondrial autophagy", "signal pathways", and "mechanisms" as focal points in the realm of OS in sarcopenia, encompassing related fundamental research and clinical translation. This bibliometric and visualization provides a comprehensive analysis of the global research landscape in the field of OS in sarcopenia, identifies priorities, summarizes the current research status and suggests possible future research priorities. In addition, in order to benefit more sarcopenia patients, strengthening cooperation and communication between institutions and research teams is the key to the future development of this field.

Minimal invasive extracorporeal circulation: A bibliometric network analysis of the global scientific output.

Minimal Invasive Extracorporeal Circulation (MiECC) has recently emerged as a more 'physiologic' alternative to conventional extracorporeal circulation. However, its adoption is still limited due to lack of robust scientific evidence and ongoing debate about its potential benefits. This bibliometric analysis aims to analyze the scientific articles on MiECC and identify current research domains and existing gaps to be addressed in future studies. Pertinent articles were retrieved from the Web of Science (WOS) database. The search string included 'minimal invasive extracorporeal circulation' and its synonyms. The VOSviewer (version 1.6.17) software was used to conduct comprehensive analyses. Semantic and research networks, bibliographic coupling and journal analysis were performed. Of the 1777 articles identified in WOS, 292 were retrieved. The trend in publications increased from 1991 to date. Most articles focused on transfusion requirements, acute kidney injury, inflammatory markers and cytokines, inflammation and delirium, though the impact of intraoperative optimal fluid and hemodynamic management as far as the occurrence of postoperative complications were poorly addressed. The semantic network analysis found inter-connections between the terms "cardiopulmonary bypass", "inflammatory response", and "cardiac surgery". Perfusion contributed the highest number of published documents. The most extensive research partnerships were between Germany, Greece, Italy, and England. Notwithstanding the scientific community's growing interest in MiECC, crucial topics (i.e., the best anesthetic management and intraoperative need for inotropes, vasopressors and fluids) still require more comprehensive exploration. This investigation may prove to be a useful tool for clinicians, scientists, and students concerning global publication output and for the use of MiECC in cardiac surgery.

Harnessing joint distraction for the treatment of osteoarthritis: a bibliometric and visualized analysis.

Osteoarthritis (OA) stands as a prevalent degenerative joint ailment, demanding immediate attention towards the development of efficacious therapeutic interventions. Presently, a definitive cure for OA remains elusive, and when conservative treatment modalities prove ineffective, resorting to a joint prosthesis becomes imperative. Temporary distraction emerges as a pivotal joint-preserving intervention in human OA patients, conferring both clinical amelioration and structural enhancements. Although extant clinical investigations exist, they are characterized by relatively modest sample sizes. Nonetheless, these studies furnish compelling evidence affirming that joint distraction engenders sustained clinical amelioration and structural refinement. Despite substantial strides in the last decade, a bibliometric analysis of joint distraction within the realm of osteoarthritis treatment research has been conspicuously absent. In this context, we have undertaken a comparative investigation utilizing bibliometric methodologies to scrutinize the landscape of joint distraction within osteoarthritis treatment. Our comprehensive analysis encompassed 469 scholarly articles. Our findings evince a consistent escalation in global research interest and publication output pertaining to this subject. The United States emerged as the frontrunner in international collaboration, publication count, and citation frequency, underscoring its preeminence in this domain. The journal "Osteoarthritis and Cartilage" emerged as the principal platform for disseminating research output on this subject. Notably, Mastbergen SC emerged as the most prolific contributor in terms of authorship. The identified keywords predominantly revolved around non-surgical interventions and joint arthroscopy procedures. This bibliometric analysis, augmented by visual representations, furnishes invaluable insights into the evolutionary trajectory of joint distraction as an osteoarthritis treatment modality spanning from 2003 to 2023. These insights will serve as a compass for the scientific community, facilitating further exploration in this promising domain.

Smart villages concept — A bibliometric analysis and state-of-the-art literature review

Rural areas are multidimensional and complex structures. The multitude and spatial diversity of processes occurring in their internal and external environment challenges the creation of a uniform and comprehensive approach to planning their development. The smart village concept, which has been gaining popularity in recent years, is supposed to answer the needs of contemporary rural areas. Essentially, it uses the area’s potential, considers its specificity, involvement of the local community in the process of change, and the rational use of new and existing technologies. Despite its growing popularity, the concept is in the early formulation stage. This article determines the current state-of-the-art of the smart village concept based on a bibliometric analysis of scientific articles collected from the Web of Science, Scopus, and IEEE Xplore databases and on a qualitative document analysis of the major smart village initiatives. The bibliometric analysis included 351 articles published until the end of 2021. Qualitative document analysis was performed on nine initiatives implemented in different world regions. As a result, detailed bibliometric metrics of the global smart village publication output were presented, characterizing the development and current state of the smart village concept. The authors point out the multidimensionality of the concept, propose its contemporary definition, and identify its basic dimensions: people, economy, living, energy, environment, mobility, and governance, thus creating a methodological basis for the planning, design and implementation of smart village projects.

Bibliometric and visualized analysis of research relating to minimally invasive spine surgery reported over the period 2000-2022.

Since entering the 21st century, there has been an increasing interest in minimally invasive surgery for spinal diseases, which has led to the continued development of minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS), with major breakthroughs in technology and technical skills. However, in recent years, there is little relevant research using bibliometrics to analyze the field of MISS research. The purpose of this study is to sort out the publication situation and topic trends of articles in the field of MISS research from the perspective of bibliometrics. The articles and reviews related to MISS from 2000 to 2022 were retrieved and downloaded from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC). Visualization and knowledge mapping were performed using three bibliometric tools, including online bibliometric platform, CiteSpace and VOSviewer software. Curve fitting and correlation analysis were performed using Microsoft Excel software. The global research publication output, contributions of countries, institutions, authors, and journals, average citations per item (ACI), Hirsch index (H-index), research hot keywords, etc., in this field were analyzed. A total of 2384 papers were retrieved, including 2135 original papers and 249 review papers. In the past 22 years, the number of annual publications of MISS research has shown a steady growth trend. China contributed the most papers, and the United States ranked second, but the United States had the highest total citations, and H-index value. The most prolific institutions were Soochow University, Capital Medical University and Wooridul Spine Hospital. In this field, Professors Lee SH, Ahn Y and Yang HL have made significant achievements. However, there is relatively little international collaboration between institutions or researchers. World Neurosurgery is the most published journal on MISS research. According to the keyword co-occurrence analysis, recent keywords mainly focus on researches on minimally invasive modalities, techniques and prognosis, while on the keyword analysis of the ongoing bursts, percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy, lumbar diskectomy, spinal stenosis, recompression, diskectomy, endoscopic spine surgery, laminectomy, transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion, etc., will likely continue to be a research hotspot in the near future. Looking at the temporal trend in the number of publications per year, the number of publications for the MISS study will increase in the near future. China has the highest number of publications, but the US has the highest quality publications. International cooperation needs to be further strengthened. Our findings can provide useful information for the academic community and identify possible research fronts and hotspots in the coming years.

International collaboration during the COVID-19 crisis: autumn 2020 developments.

After the initial shock of the early months of the global COVID-19 pandemic, international collaboration in COVID-19 research continues to show aberrant patterns compared to coronavirus research in pre-COVID times. The most affected nations tend to produce the greatest number of coronavirus articles, with output closely coupled to the rate of infection. COVID-19 research has fewer nations and smaller teams than pre-COVID research, a trend which intensifies throughout the pandemic. The United States remains the single largest contributor to the global publication output, but contrary to China’s dominance in the initial months of the pandemic, China’s contribution falls as the national COVID-19 caseload drops. China-USA collaborations drop as the pandemic continues, perhaps due to China’s reduced rate of publication on the topic, and perhaps due to political obstacles, or a combination of these factors.
