Gut microbiota can regulate many physiological processes within gastrointestinal tract and other distal sites. Dysbiosis may not only influence chronic diseases like the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), metabolic disease, tumor and its therapeutic efficacy, but also deteriorate acute injuries. This article aims to review the documents in this fiel...

Background: Bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA) is a malignancy with a high incidence worldwide. One-third of patients may experience aggressive progression later on, and 70% of patients who have undergone surgical intervention will still suffer from metastasis. Materials and methods: RNA sequencing profiles of BLCA samples were obtained from Th...

Background Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of themost prevalent and lethal malignancies globally. Enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) serve as potential diagnostic and prognostic markers andpotential therapeutic targets for cancer. This study aim to explore the roles of enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastasis. Methods RNA-seq data of RC...

Background Anoctamin family (Transmembrane Protein 16), has gained growing attention for generating exosome and ectosome to mediate cancer cell communication in the process of phospholipid scrambling. However, former studies only focused on one narrow process in a single cancer. Instead, we designed a multidimensional study to comprehensively inves...

Background Kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP) is the second most prevalent malignant cancer originating from the renal epithelium. Nowadays, cancer stem cells (CSC) and stemness-related genes (SRGs) are constantly revealed to play important roles in carcinogenesis and metastasis of various tumors. In the present study, we aim to investiga...

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are one of the most popular and severe complications of diabetes. The persistent non-healing of DFUs may eventually contribute to severe complications such as amputation, which presents patients with significant physical and psychological challenges. Fibroblasts are critical cells in wound healing and perfor...

Background: The signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) gene family have been widely found to regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and angiogenesis through complex signaling pathways, and thus impacting tumor formation and development in different types of tumor. However, the roles of STATs on prognostic predicti...

Background Rheumatism covers a wide range of diseases with complex clinical manifestations and places a tremendous burden on humans. For many years, our understanding of rheumatism was seriously hindered by technology constraints. However, the increasing application and rapid advancement of sequencing technology in the past decades have enabled us...

Background Rheumatoid Diseases (RDs) are a group of systemic auto-immune diseases that are characterized by chronic synovitis, and fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) play an important role in the occurrence and progression of synovitis. Our study is the first to adopt bibliometric analysis to identify the global scientific production and visualize...

Introduction Over the last several decades, the gut microbiota has been implicated in the formation and stabilization of health, as well as the development of disease. With basic and clinical experiments, scholars are gradually understanding the important role of gut microbiota in trauma, which may offer novel ideas of treatment for trauma patients...

Background Rheumatic diseases (RD) are a group of multi-system inflammatory autoimmune diseases whose causes are still under study. In the past few decades, researchers have found traces of the association between rheumatic diseases and intestinal microbiota, which can partially explain the pathogenesis of rheumatic diseases. We aimed to describe t...

Background Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe disease with motor and sensory function being destroyed, which leads to a poor prognosis and a serious financial burden. It is urgent to figure out the molecular and pathological mechanisms of SCI to develop feasible therapeutic strategies. This article aims to review documents focused on gene express...

Background: The molecular mechanisms of EWS-FLI-mediating target genes and downstream pathways may provide a new way in the targeted therapy of Ewing sarcoma. Meanwhile, enhancers transcript non-coding RNAs, known as enhancer RNAs (eRNAs), which may serve as potential diagnosis markers and therapeutic targets in Ewing sarcoma. Materials and methods...

Background: We planned to uncover the cancer stemness-related genes (SRGs) in prostate cancer (PCa) and its underlying mechanism in PCa metastasis. Methods: We acquired the RNA-seq data of 406 patients with PCa from the TCGA database. Based on the mRNA stemness index (mRNAsi) calculated by one-class logistic regression (OCLR) algorithm, SRGs in...

... 13 Through analyzing authors, journals, institutions, countries and keywords, the performance analysis, evolution process, and research hotspots of a field can be obtained. 14 Bibliometrics has also been applied in research in many aspects including gut microbiota, sequencing, and various diseases, [15][16][17][18] which all showed great impacts. As a result, we hoped to explore the developing processes and research hotspots in the kidney neoplasm and NSS field through bibliometric analysis and literature review. ...
... 12 In addition, bibliometric tools such as CiteSpace, 13 VoSviewer, 14 and the R package "bibliometrix" 15 have been used for visual literature analysis, as they are more intuitive for interpreting a large amount of information and mining research hotspots. Bibliometrics has been widely used in the fields of cancer, 16 knee osteoarthritis, 17 cardiovascular diseases, 18 and rheumatic diseases, 19 but no bibliometric method has been used to research PCD in OP. Therefore, to fill this knowledge gap, this study used bibliometrics and visual analytics to summarize the academic research on PCD in OP over the last two decades in the Web of Science database. ...

... Bibliometrics analyzes published information (such as journal articles, books) and its associated metadata (such as citations, abstracts, and keywords), in order to characterize or demonstrate correlations between published works (11). A number of bibliometric studies have been conducted in the field of rheumatism, spinal cord injury, COVID-19, etc. (12)(13)(14). However, there has not been a comprehensive bibliometric study concerned with sequencing and omics studies in PCa. ...
... The messenger RNA (mRNA) expression-based stemness index (mRNAsi) is used to evaluate the unique characteristics of CSCs and to assess tumor development (9). There is mounting evidence to support the existence of CSCs in lung adenocarcinoma (10), breast cancer (11), colorectal cancer (12), and prostate cancer (13), as well as their roles in metastasis, drug resistance, and cancer adaptation to changing microenvironments. For instance, single-cell transcriptome analysis revealed the landscape of intra-tumoral heterogeneity and stemness-related subpopulations of liver cancer cells (14). ...
