Management of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia and Pregnancy: A Bibliometric Analysis (2000-2020)

Impact of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) on Growth in Children and Adolescents with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia: A Systematic Review

BACKGROUND

Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is a rare myeloproliferative disease in childhood. Treatment in CML includes Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs), which inhibit the cytoplasmic kinase BCR/ABL. Tyrosine kinases play a key role in the secretion of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1).

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this systematic review was to study the effect of TKIs on the growth of children and adolescents with CML.

METHODS

English-language publications were searched in the PubMed/Cochrane library/Google Scholar databases (2002-2023), and retrieved studies were assessed according to PRISMA-Statement and Newcastle- Ottawa-scale.

RESULTS

The search strategy yielded 1066 articles. After applying the inclusion/exclusion criteria, 941 were excluded based on title screening and 111 on abstract review. The systematic review included 14 articles (11 retrospective observational studies/3 clinical trials). Twelve studies reported data on the prevalence of growth disorders after the administration of 1st generation TKIs (imatinib). Two studies reported a negative effect of 2nd generation TKIs (dasatinib/nilotinib) on physical growth. Four studies recorded a decrease in height z-score after treatment compared to baseline. Two 1st-generation TKIs studies reported data on children's final height; one reported restoration of final height to normal after the onset of puberty, despite initial slowing, and the final height was lower than mid-parental target height. Serum IGF-1 levels were reported in 2 studies to be within normal range, while in 3 studies, a significant decrease was documented. Considerable study heterogeneity was observed related to dosage/duration of treatment/disease phase/stage of puberty/ethnicity.

CONCLUSION

A negative effect of TKIs on the growth and final height of children was noted.

Global Research Trends in Adipose Stem Cell Tissue Engineering: A Scientometric Research

Adipose Stem Cell Tissue Engineering (ASCTE) has emerged as a promising field of research in recent years. To gain comprehensive insights into this field, we conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis using Web of Science Core Collection and various bibliometric tools, including CiteSpace, VOS viewer, and R-Bibliometrix. Our analysis focuses on the historical development and evolution of active topics in ASCTE from a time-dynamics perspective, covering 4522 publications, 3924 academic institutions, and 873 journals, with significant growth observed over the past two decades. In terms of the global research landscape, the United States and China dominate the field. Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the University of Pittsburgh, and Ming Ho University are the top three institutions contributing to research in this area. Biomaterials is identified as the central journal in terms of cocitation analysis. Our analysis also reveals new areas of development, such as 3D printing, platelet lysate, and clinical practice, as well as current trends in hydrogels, nanomaterials, and extracellular vesicles. These findings point to exciting prospects for future ASCTE research. Unlike previous subjective reviews, our bibliometric analysis provides an objective assessment of the current state and emerging trends in ASCTE research, allowing researchers to identify popular research areas and explore new directions in this dynamic field.

Global trends in research of immune cells associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy: A 20-year bibliometric analyses (from 2001 to 2021)

Background

A growing evidence suggests that immune cells play a significant role in the pathogenesis of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP).Over the past 20 years, several studies have been conducted on the role of immune cells in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. This study used bibliometric analysis to assess research hotspots and future trends in studies on immune cells in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

Methods

We extracted all relevant literature on immune cells and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy from the Web of Science core collection for the period of 2001 to 2021. We used VOS Viewer, CiteSpace, R-bibliometrix and Python for bibliometric analysis.

Results

We identified 2,388 records published in 593 journals by 9,886 authors from 2,174 universities/institutions in 91 countries/regions. The number of publications tended to increase over time, with the highest number of publications in 2021, up to 205. The USA was the country with the most publications. UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI was the most influential institution. Lamarca B, Romero R, and Saito S were the most prolific authors. Finally, three research hotspot clusters were identified based on keywords, which reflected the role of immune cells in the development of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, the current research status,and predicted hot spots for future research.

Conclusions

Our study systematically analyzed the role of immune cells in the pathogenesis of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in the last 20 years. Our results indicated that immune cells, such as T cells, natural killer (NK) cells,and macrophages, and the cytokines released such as TNF-α, IFN-γ in the maternal circulation and at the maternal-fetal interface would influence the development of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and we need further investigate the role of individual immune cells and translational studies to provide new therapeutic perspectives to mitigate adverse perinatal outcomes due to hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. In conclusion, bibliometric studies provide a general overview of immune cells in the study of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

Characterization of global research hotspots and trends on ten-eleven translocation 2: visualization and bibliometric analysis

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE

Ten-eleven translocation-2 (TET2) is member of the methylcytosine dioxygenase family and plays important roles in a variety of physiological and pathological processes; however, no bibliometric analysis has been performed to methodically evaluate the scientific research on TET2. Therefore, the aim of this study was to conduct a visual and scientometric analysis of TET2 research and to explore its current landscape, future direction, and research frontiers.

METHODS

Publications related to TET2 research were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) from 2009 to 2021. Excel, CiteSpace, and VOSviewer were utilized to perform the bibliometric visualization analysis.

RESULTS

A total of 2384 articles were retrieved. The number of publications on TET2 has been steadily increasing from 2009 to 2021. The USA is the top contributor to the topic, with the largest number of publications. Harvard University and the Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale were the leading institutions, while Levine RL of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center is the most prolific and influential author. In TET2-related publications, the high-frequency keywords were: "tet2", "DNA methylation", "5-hrdroxymethylcytosine", "5-methylcytosine", "mutations", and "acute myeloid-leukemia". Based on keyword bursts, the emerging TET2 research hotspots include "inflammation", "gene expression", "landscape", and "clonal hematopoiesis".

CONCLUSION

Research on TET2 is constantly growing and evolving during the last decade. Here, we provide an objective and comprehensive analysis of the global status, research hotspots, and potential trends in the field of TET2 research by using a bibliometric approach. These results will assist researchers in mastering the knowledge structure and guiding the future research directions of TET2.
