We here explored the research status, research hotspots, and development trend of acupuncture against inflammation from both quantitative and qualitative aspects through bibliometrics.
We used CiteSpace and VOSviewer to analyze the literature about acupuncture against inflammation from 2011 to 2021 in the Web of Science Core Collection database by using a visual knowledge map.
In total, 1479 articles were included, and the number of articles published each year exhibited an upward trend. The largest number of articles were published in China (661), followed by the United States (287) and South Korea (164). The most productive institution is Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (72), while the most influential institution is the Capital Medical University (0.28). (131) is the journal that published most articles on the topic. Lin Yiwen is the most prolific author, and Borovikova L is the most influential co-cited author. The keywords that have burst in the last 2 years are inflammation and activation. The keywords with the highest frequency of use are electroacupuncture (EA), inflammation, and expression.
The number of publications on acupuncture for anti-inflammation research is rapidly increasing. China is a productive country, but the influence of centrality is poor. Research institutions are concentrated in universities, and the whole collaborative network needs to be strengthened. The anti-inflammatory mechanism of acupuncture is the main focus of research in this field. Regulation of immune cell balance by acupuncture may be a hot topic in mechanism research. At present, immune cells, vagus nerve, signal pathway, inflammatory corpuscles, cytokines and neurotransmitters are popular research topics. In the future, the basic research of acupuncture for anti-inflammation transformed into clinical practice may be a trend. EA and bee venom acupuncture may be promising research directions for acupuncture treatment for inflammatory diseases.
通过文献计量学从定量和定性两个方面探讨针刺抗炎的研究现状、研究热点及发展趋势。
利用CiteSpace和VOSviewer，通过可视化知识图谱对Web of Science核心合集数据库中2011年至2021年关于针刺抗炎的文献进行分析。
共纳入1479篇文章，每年发表的文章数量呈上升趋势。发表文章数量最多的国家是中国（661篇），其次是美国（287篇）和韩国（164篇）。发文量最多的机构是北京中医药大学（72篇），而影响力最大的机构是首都医科大学（0.28）。（131）是发表该主题文章最多的期刊。林一文是发文量最多的作者，博罗维科娃·L是被引频次最高的有影响力作者。过去2年中出现骤增的关键词是炎症和激活。使用频率最高的关键词是电针（EA）、炎症和表达。
针刺抗炎研究的发文量正在迅速增加。中国是发文大国，但中心性影响力较差。研究机构集中在高校，整体合作网络有待加强。针刺抗炎机制是该领域的主要研究重点。针刺对免疫细胞平衡的调节可能是机制研究中的热点话题。目前，免疫细胞、迷走神经、信号通路、炎性小体、细胞因子和神经递质是热门研究课题。未来，针刺抗炎基础研究向临床实践转化可能是一种趋势。电针和蜂毒针刺可能是针刺治疗炎症性疾病的有前景的研究方向。
