Trends of therapy in the treatment of asthma

Abstract

Background: To better understand the development of therapy for asthma, grasp the core paradigm associated with the transformation of cognition of asthma treatment and asthma, explore potential and effective therapies for asthma, discover new biomarkers and mechanisms related to asthma treatment, find novel targets for anti-asthma drugs, and predict the future trends of asthma therapy, we used a bibliometric analysis to research articles related to the therapies for asthma published from 1983 to 2022. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted to analyze the articles associated with therapy for asthma with the help of the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database from January 1, 1983 to August 14, 2022. The CiteSpace 6.1.R2 software and VOS viewer 6.1.8 software were utilized to analyze the overall structure of the network, network clusters, links between clusters, key nodes, and pathways. Results: A total of 3902 publications related to therapies on asthma were published in 3211 academic journals by a total of 14,655 authors in 3476 organizations from 87 countries or regions from 1983 to 2022. The United States published the most articles ( n = 1143), followed by England ( n = 574) and China ( n = 405). However, the centrality of China was 0.4, higher than the United States (centrality = 0.16) and Singapore (centrality = 0.11). Akdis Cezmi published the most papers. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology published the most studies on therapies for asthma. Asthma was the most frequent keyword ( n = 594). The betweenness centrality value of keywords that were greater than 0.1 included airway inflammation (centrality = 0.22), double blind (centrality = 0.18), asthma (centrality = 0.17), inflammation (centrality = 0.12), and inhaled corticosteroid (centrality = 0.11). Conclusions: The results from this biometric review provide insight into the development of therapy for asthma, the paradigm of recognition of this field, the approach of discovering new targets, exploration and combination of new mechanisms, and the frontier trend of this field in future.

A Journey of Challenges and Victories: A Bibliometric Worldview of Nanomedicine since the 21st Century

“…[283] They were widely recognized as critical and central within the network. [276,284,285] In addition, the Q score, which ranges from 0 to 1, was used to assess the structure of a network. A score greater than 0.3 indicated a wellstructured network.…”

Bibliometric analysis and visualization of research trends in total mesorectal excision in the past twenty years

“…All complete articles meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria together with citations are included in text format named ʻdownload_TMEʼ. Import the file into CiteSpace 6.2.R3 Advanced, VOSviewer 1.6.19, and R Package bibliometrix 4.1.2, and analyze the overall network structure, clustering, key nodes, and paths by extracting information such as title, author, author unit, country, or region 18 . CiteSpace combined with Microsoft 365 Excel is applied to data collection, collation, and visual analysis, including statistical and descriptive analysis: annual publications, citations; collaborative network analysis: mainly for authors; co-occurrence analysis: for keywords; citation bursts analysis: mainly for keywords; co-citation analysis: for authors and references.…”

Progress on the advanced prevalence and treatment of childhood asthma based on genetic and epigenetics mechanisms

“…Acupuncture shows promise in promoting changes in biomarkers, potentially due to TSG-12, an inhaled transgelin-2 agonist. TSG12 has been shown to decrease airway hyperresponsiveness, effectively alleviating asthma, hence acupuncture may be used in the treatment of asthma [16].…”

“…It is typically offered to patients with severe persistent asthma that is not well-controlled by inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting betaagonists. This can improve quality of life by reducing asthma symptoms and exacerbations [16].…”
