BackgroundExisting studies have indicated that gut microbiota is closely related to the occurrence and development of coronary heart disease(CHD). Gut microbiota and its metabolites may be important diagnostic markers for CHD in the future and are expected to become new targets for the prevention and treatment of CHD. However, the current studies exploring the link between CHD and gut microbiota are miscellaneous and poorly targeted, without bibliometric analysis available.ObjectiveThe purpose of this research was to perform a bibliometric and visual analysis of published papers on the relationship between CHD and gut microbiota. The study also sought to identify principal authors, institutions, and countries to analyze the research status and trends of gut microbiota research in the field of CHD.MethodsThe Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database was searched for publications on CHD and gut microbiota between 2002 and 2022. CiteSpace 5.8. R1, VOSviewer 1.6.16, and Microsoft Excel 2019 software tools were utilized to perform this bibliometric analysis and visualization.ResultsThere were 457 qualified publications found in total, with the annual number of publications increasing. The United States dominated in this field. Hazen, Stanley l was the author of the most papers. Cleveland Clinic published the most papers of any institution. The six main clusters’ specific characteristics were discovered through analysis of the co-occurrence of keywords: inflammation, diet, trimethylamine n-oxide, metabolism, cardiovascular disease, and myocardial infarction. Newly emerging research has focused predominantly on gut microbiota metabolites and recent strategies for intervention in coronary atherosclerosis.ConclusionThese results provided a useful perspective on current research and future prospects for the research on the link between CHD and gut microbiota, which may help researchers to select suitable collaborators and facilitate their research to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms of CHD, including the causes, prevention, and treatment.
Seaweeds are classified as Chlorophyta, Rhodophyta, and Phaeophyta. They constitute a number of the most significant repositories of new therapeutic compounds for human use. Seaweed has been proven to possess diverse bioactive properties, which include anticancer properties. The present review focuses on colorectal cancer, which is a primary cause of cancer-related mortality in humans. In addition, it discusses various compounds derived from a series of seaweeds that have been shown to eradicate or slow the progression of cancer. Therapeutic compounds extracted from seaweed have shown activity against colorectal cancer. Furthermore, the mechanisms through which these compounds can induce apoptosis in vitro and in vivo were reviewed. This review emphasizes the potential utility of seaweeds as anticancer agents through the consideration of the capability of compounds present in seaweeds to fight against colorectal cancer.
BackgroundResearch on tumor organoids has developed rapidly over the past 20 years, but a systematic analysis of current research trends is lacking. Researchers in the field need relevant references and knowledge of current research hot spots. Bibliometric analysis and visualization is a systematic method of acquiring an in-depth understanding of the status of research on tumor organoids.MethodsCiteSpace, VOSviewer and the Bibliometric Online Analysis Platform from the Web of Science Core Collection were used to analyze and predict publishing trends and research hot spots worldwide in the field of tumor organoids.ResultsA total of 3,666 publications on tumor organoids were retrieved, and 2,939 eligible articles were included in the final analysis. The number of publications has grown significantly, with the United States of America as the leading country for research on tumor organoids. Among journals, Cancers published the largest number of articles. Harvard Medical School published the highest number of articles among all institutions. The Chinese Academy of Sciences was ranked highest among all contributing institutions on the importance of their publications. A trend in multi-disciplinary collaboration was observed in studies on tumor organoids. Keywords indicated that the current research largely concentrated on optimizing the construction of organoid models to use for medication development and screening in the clinical setting, and to provide patients with individualized treatment for gastric cancer and colorectal cancer, which are newly emerging research hotspots. Gastric and colorectal cancers were the top two tumors that have received increasing attention and have become the focal points of recent studies.ConclusionThis study analyzed 2,939 publications covering the topic of tumor organoids. Although optimizing the construction of organoid models has always been a hot topic in this field, the application of tumor organoids to the development of medications and screenings will foster individualized treatment for patients, which is another emerging hot spot in this field of research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
