Bibliometric and visual analysis of cerebral revascularization from 1999 to 2022

Abstract

BackgroundCerebral revascularization is a neurosurgical procedure used to restore the cerebral collateral circulation channel. This study examines the countries, institutions, authors, journals, keywords, and references related to the disease in the field of cerebral revascularization from 1999 to 2022 from a bibliometrics perspective, evaluates the changes of knowledge structure clustering and identifies the new hot spots and new research directions in this field.MethodsThe Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database and the PICOS retrieval method were used to conduct a comprehensive search for articles and reviews pertaining to cerebral revascularization. The final filtered data were bibliometrically and visually drawn using Microsoft office 365, CiteSpace (v.6.1.R2), and VOSviewer (v.1.6.18).ResultsFrom 1999 to 2022, a total of 854 articles pertaining to cerebral revascularization, which originated from 46 nations, 482 institutions, and 686 researchers, were extracted from the WOSCC database, and the number of publications in this field of study was rising. The United States held the highest proportion in the ranking analysis of countries, institutions, authors, and journals. By analyzing co-citations, the scientific organization of this field and the development status of frontier fields were realized. Cerebral revascularization, moyamoya disease, extracranial intracranial bypass, and occlusion are the current research focal points in the field of cerebral revascularization. Hyperperfusion and vascular disorder may also become a new study focus in this discipline in the near future.ConclusionUsing the method of bibliometrics, this study analyzed and reviewed the articles in the field of cerebral revascularization, which enabled scholars to better comprehend the dynamic process in this field and provided a foundation for future in-depth research.

Estrogen signalling and Alzheimer's disease: Decoding molecular mechanisms for therapeutic breakthrough

“…The exploration of estrogen signalling as a viable therapeutic strategy for the treatment of AD has emerged as a promising avenue for intervention. The multifaceted effects of estrogen on the brain, including its role in synaptic plasticity, neuroprotection and regulation of amyloid‐beta metabolism, underscore its potential as a promising target for therapeutic intervention (Zhao et al, 2024). The effects of estrogen are facilitated through the activation of ER, specifically ERα and ERβ, which demonstrate extensive distribution throughout the brain.…”

“…The study yielded no discernible impact of estradiol on Aβ levels in PDAPP mice. Cerebral ischemia in some non‐transgenic rats leads to the production of Aβ (Zhao et al, 2024). The implementation of this specific model has exhibited that the administration of estradiol results in a reduction of both APP protein and mRNA levels in menopause rats (Lasoń et al, 2023).…”

Bibliometric and Visualization Analysis of Biomechanical Research on Lumbar Intervertebral Disc

“…The warmer colors of the nodes signify later average publication times. [15][16][17][18] It appears that the United States made outstanding contributions in the early research of this field with earlier average publication times, while China has recently published a large number of academic achievements. Additionally, Table 1 lists relevant information of the top 10 countries/regions in terms of publication volume, with the United States (484, 34.35%), China (272, 19.30%), and Germany (174, 12.35%) accounting for 66% of the total publications.…”
