Crosstalk between gut microbiota and cancer chemotherapy: current status and trends.

Background: Chemotherapy is crucial in the management of tumors, but challenges such as chemoresistance and adverse reactions frequently lead to therapeutic delays or even premature cessation. A growing body of research underscores a profound connection between the gut microbiota (GM) and cancer chemotherapy (CC). This paper aims to pinpoint highly influential publications and monitor the current landscape and evolving trends within the realm of GM/CC research.

A multiplex direct PCR method for the rapid and accurate discrimination of three species of spider mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) in fruit orchards in Beijing.

Spider mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) are polyphagous pests of economic importance in agriculture, among which the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch has spread widely worldwide as an invasive species, posing a serious threat to fruit tree production in China, including Beijing. The hawthorn spider mite, Amphitetranychus viennensis Zacher, is also a worldwide pest of fruit trees and woody ornamental plants. The cassava mite, Tetranychus truncatus Ehara, is mainly found in Asian countries, including China, Korea and Japan, and mainly affects fruit trees and agricultural crops.

Cross-talk between and gastric cancer: a scientometric analysis.

Background: (HP) is considered a leading risk factor for gastric cancer (GC). The aim of this article is to conduct bibliometric and visual analysis to assess scientific output, identify highly cited papers, summarize current knowledge, and explore recent hotspots and trends in HP/GC research.

Methods: A bibliographic search was conducted on October 24, 2023, to retrieve relevant studies on HP/GC research between 2003 and 2022.

Global research on the crosstalk between intestinal microbiome and colorectal cancer: A visualization analysis.

Background: Increasing evidence has shown that the intestinal microbiome (IM) is highly linked to colorectal cancer (CRC). To investigate scientific output, identify highly cited papers, and explore research hotspots and trends in the field of IM/CRC, we conducted a bibliometric and visualized analysis.

Methods: A bibliographic search regarding IM/CRC research (2012-2021) was implemented on October 17, 2022.

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation Research over the Past Decade: Current Status and Trends.

Background: Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a current research hotspot, with a surge in the output of publications over the past decade. This study dedicates to the exploration of the research status and highlights significant themes and future trends in FMT research with the aid of bibliometric analysis.

Methods: FMT publications from 2012 to 2021 were retrieved on August 12, 2022, using the SCI-Expanded of Web of Science (WoS).

The interactions between traditional Chinese medicine and gut microbiota: Global research status and trends.

Background: There is a crosstalk between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and gut microbiota (GM), many articles have studied and discussed the relationship between the two. The purpose of this study is to use bibliometric analysis to explore the research status and development trends of the TCM/GM research, identify and analyze the highly cited papers relating to the TCM/GM.

Methods: A literature search regarding TCM/GM publications from 2004 to 2021 was undertaken on August 13, 2022.

Attribution of Bax and mitochondrial permeability transition pore on cantharidin-induced apoptosis of Sf9 cells.

To investigate the insecticidal mechanism of cantharidin, a promising biological pesticide substance from blister beetle, on Sf9 cells, a cultured cell line derived from fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, we preliminary studied the attribution of Bax channel and mitochondrial permeability transition pore on cantharidin-induced mitochondrial apoptosis signal pathway. Changes in cell morphology, activity of mitochondrial dehydrogenases, release of cytochrome C and mitochondrial transmembrane potential were detected when the two channels were blocked by specific inhibitors, Bax channel blocker and cyclosporin A. Results showed that cantharidin-induced apoptotic features, including changes in the cell morphology, release of cytochrome C and decrease in mitochondrial transmembrane potential could be significantly inhibited by Bax channel blocker, while cyclosporin A accelerated the downward trend of mitochondrial dehydrogenases activity and caused a decrease of Ca in mitochondria.
