[PMID: 37030972 DOI: 10.1111/vop.13097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2022] [Revised: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/26/2023] [Indexed: 04/10/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to bibliometrically analyze the 100 most-cited articles published in the Veterinary Ophthalmology (VO) journal. METHODS Web of Science was searched for citations of VO articles published in 1998-2022. Tissue and species studied, and first and last author domicile and affiliation were recorded for the 100 most-cited articles and descriptively analyzed. RESULTS Altogether, the 100 most-cited VO articles have cited a total of 5483 times. Most commonly, these were devoted to the cornea (23%), multiple tissues (19%), and glaucoma (16%). Studies on dogs (36%), horses (17%), and multiple species (15%) were most often cited. Most first/last authors were from the USA (n = 113), Brazil (n = 13), and France and Germany (n = 7 each), and most frequently affiliated with the University of Florida (n = 36), University of Wisconsin-Madison (n = 15), and Animal Health Trust, North Carolina State University, and Ohio State University (n = 6 each). KN Gelatt (n = 9), DE Brooks (n = 6), and FJ Ollivier and EO MacKay (n = 5 each) were the most frequent first or last authors. The greatest number of citations was for articles with KN Gelatt (n = 555), FJ Ollivier (n = 411), and DE Brooks (n = 372) as first or last authors. "The comparative morphology of the tapetum lucidum" by FJ Ollivier et al. (2002) is the most frequently cited article in VO history (n = 178). CONCLUSIONS This study provides insight into the impact of publishing in VO and a more comprehensive understanding of trends and the most influential contributions to VO.

Wang X, Li M, Xiao X, Chen G, Tang J, Lin Q, Guo H, Song G, Wu X, Bao Y, Liang J. Microsurgery for vestibular schwannoma: analysis of short-term clinical outcome. Chin Neurosurg J 2022; 8:42. [PMID: 36539883 PMCID: PMC9768882 DOI: 10.1186/s41016-022-00306-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2022] [Accepted: 11/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total removal of the vestibular schwannoma when preserving the function of the facial nerve is difficult. The objective of the current study was to investigate the short-term clinical outcome of vestibular schwannoma removal via retro-sigmoid approach. METHODS One-hundred consecutive patients diagnosed with vestibular schwannoma were surgically treated between December 2018 and August 2019 in Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University. The clinical classification, surgical position, gross total removal rate, the anatomical and functional preservation rates of facial nerve, and the postoperative complications were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS All 100 patients including 34 males and 66 females were operated on via retro-sigmoid approach. According to Koos vestibular schwannoma grading system, 18 cases were grade 2, 34 cases were grade 3, and 48 cases were grade 4. According to Hannover vestibular schwannoma grading system, 5 cases were T2, 6 cases were T3a, 8 cases were T3b, 30 cases were T4a, and 51 cases were T4b. Seventy-three surgeries were performed under lateral position, and 27 cases were operated under semi-sitting position. The gross total removal rate was 90.0%; the anatomic reservation rate of the facial nerve was 96.0%. According to the House-Brackman system, the facial nerve function was grades 1-2 in 78.0% cases, grade 3 in 7.0% cases, and grades 4-5 in 15% cases. For patients with effective hearing before operation, the hearing reservation rate was 19.0%. Two patients (2.0%) developed intracranial hematoma after operation. CONCLUSION Most vestibular schwannoma could be completely removed with good postoperative facial nerve function. If total removal of tumor is difficult, we should give priority to the functional preservation of the nerve function.

Martinez-Perez R, Kunigelis KE, Ward RC, Ung TH, Arnone GD, Cass SP, Gubbels SP, Youssef AS. Hydroxyapatite cement cranioplasty for reconstruction of translabyrinthine approach: aesthetic results, long-term satisfaction, quality of life, and complications. Acta Neurochir (Wien) 2022; 164:669-677. [PMID: 34642820 DOI: 10.1007/s00701-021-05024-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2021] [Accepted: 10/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Translabyrinthine approaches (TLAs) for resection of skull base neoplasms are complex with variable reconstruction techniques. Fat grafts in conjunction with hydroxyapatite bone cement techniques have seldom been described in terms of possible superiority to other skull base reconstruction techniques. We sought to determine the impact of this skull base reconstruction technique on clinical outcomes and patient's satisfaction. METHOD We performed a retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent translabyrinthine approaches for resection of CPA lesions over a 5-year period. Both post-op objective and subjective markers of reconstruction, as well as postoperative complications, were collected and analyzed. RESULTS Sixty-nine patients were included, 34 underwent reconstruction with hydroxyapatite and fat (rHAC) and 35 with fat alone (rF). rHAC was associated with fewer cranial wound superficial infection/dehiscence (0% vs 14.3%; p = 0.029) and shorter length of stay (mean ± standard deviation) (6.9 ± 7.4 vs 4.4 ± 3.7 days, p = 0.008). Postoperative subjective characterization of rHAC demonstrated improved satisfaction scores (1.38 ± 0.5 vs 1.83 ± 1; p = 0.049) and fewer reports of post-operative irregularities (11.5% vs 37.5%; p = 0.017). CONCLUSION The use of hydroxyapatite for cranial reconstruction after translabyrinthine approaches has improved patient satisfaction and decreased cranial defects in our small series. Postoperative complications are consistent with other described methods, but with shorter hospital stay, decreased risk of superficial wound dehiscence/infection, and a perceived superiority in preventing percutaneous post-op CSF leaks.

Citation analysis of the most influential ependymoma research articles illustrates improved knowledge of the molecular biology of ependymoma. Neurosurg Rev 2021; 45:1041-1088. [PMID: 34613526 PMCID: PMC8976812 DOI: 10.1007/s10143-021-01579-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2021] [Revised: 05/15/2021] [Accepted: 06/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
The history of academic research on ependymoma is expansive. This review summarizes its history with a bibliometric analysis of the 100 most cited articles on ependymoma. In March 2020, we queried the Web of Science database to identify the most cited articles on ependymoma using the terms “ependymoma” or “ependymal tumors,” yielding 3145 publications. Results were arranged by the number of times each article was cited in descending order. The top 100 articles spanned across nearly a century; the oldest article was published in 1924, while the most recent was in 2017. These articles were published in 35 unique journals, including a mix of basic science and clinical journals. The three institutions with the most papers in the top 100 were St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (16%), the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (6%), and the German Cancer Research Center (5%). We analyzed the publications that may be considered the most influential in the understanding and treatment management of ependymoma. Studies focused on the molecular classification of ependymomas were well-represented among the most cited articles, reflecting the field’s current area of focus and its future directions. Additionally, this article also offers a reference for further studies in the ependymoma field.

Differential Ca 2+ responses and store operated Ca 2+ entry in primary cells from human brain tumors. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-MOLECULAR CELL RESEARCH 2021; 1868:119060. [PMID: 33992673 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbamcr.2021.119060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2021] [Revised: 04/28/2021] [Accepted: 04/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Brain tumors comprise a large series of tumor cancer from benign to highly malignant gliomas and metastases from primary tumors outside the brain. Intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis is involved in a large series of cell functions including cell proliferation, migration, and cell death. Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), the most important Ca2+ entry pathway in non-excitable cells, is involved in cell proliferation and migration and enhanced in tumor cells from breast cancer, colon cancer and cell lines derived from glioblastoma but there are almost no studies in human primary glioblastoma cells or other brain tumors. We have developed a single procedure to obtain primary cells from a large series (n = 49) of human brain tumors including schwannomas, meningiomas, oligodendrogliomas, astrocytomas, glioblastomas and brain metastases from ovary, breast and lung. Cells were characterized by immunofluorescence and subjected to Ca2+ imaging to investigate resting intracellular Ca2+ levels, Ca2+ responses to physiological agonists as well as voltage-operated Ca2+ entry and SOCE. We found significant differences in resting intracellular Ca2+ and Ca2+ responses to plasma membrane depolarization and ATP among the different tumor cells. Only malignant tumor cells, displayed Ca2+ responses to ATP. SOCE is significantly increased in malignant gliomas whereas voltage-gated Ca2+ entry is decreased. In addition, SOCE is significantly larger in high grade gliomas than in low grade gliomas suggesting that SOCE increases with glioma progression. These data may provide new insights on the role of intracellular Ca2+ and purinergic signalling in brain tumors.
