Introduction: There is limited basic research on carbon dioxide (CO ) fractional laser, indicating blind spots in CO fractional laser treatment of certain diseases. This study aimed to organize previous literature, summarize the current research, and speculate on possible future development.

Methods: We searched document data on fractional CO lasers from the Web of Science core collection database and retrieved 928 articles from 2004 to 2021. CiteSpace software was used to analyze the main institutions, authors, subject hotspots, and research frontiers in global CO fractional laser research.

Results: The results revealed that 928 related papers were published in the past 18 years (2004-2021), and the number has increased annually. The publications were written by 3239 authors from 626 institutions in 60 countries/regions. The United States (US) dominates this field (312 documents), followed by Italy (289), and South Korea (88). Lasers in Surgery and Medicine is the journal with the most publications and citations, and Uebelhoer is the central author. The main research hotspots include vulvovaginal atrophy, fractional photothermolysis, keloids, drug delivery, gene expressions, facial acne scarring, resurfacing, vitiligo, and photo damage.

Conclusion: Using CiteSpace, this paper draws a map of authors, institutions, and keywords in fractional CO laser from 2004 to 2021; summarizes the main authors, institutions, research hotspots, and cutting-edge topics of global fractional CO laser technology in recent years; and summarizes the current application status of global fractional CO laser in disease treatment. It also provides new ideas for the future application and research of fractional CO lasers.

Background: Subcortical ischemic vascular dementia (SIVD) is a common subtype of vascular dementia. Currently, the bilateral common carotid artery stenosis (BCAS) mouse model is the most suitable SIVD rodent model. In this study, we investigated the functional and structural impairments in the hippocampus 1 month after BCAS.

Hypertrophic scars (HTSs) are the result of an abnormal healing process resulting from burns and other severe traumas. The symptoms of that condition include skin irritation, discomfort, and itching. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of fractional carbon dioxide (CO) laser therapy alone or with triamcinolone or 5-fluorouracil (FU) in the treatment of early post-burn hypertrophic scars (HTSs) that develop during the first 6 months after the injury.
