Summary
This bibliometric analysis maps primary Sjogren syndrome research from 1999-2023. Key trends include understanding pathogenesis, developing targeted therapies, and improving diagnosis and treatment standards for this autoimmune condition.
Area of Science:
- Rheumatology
- Immunology
- Bibliometrics
Background:
- Primary Sjogren syndrome (pSS) is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting exocrine glands.
- Understanding the research landscape is crucial for advancing pSS management.
- Bibliometric analysis provides insights into research productivity and impact.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the research status, hotspots, and trends in primary Sjogren syndrome.
- To identify leading authors, institutions, countries, and publications in pSS research.
- To map the evolution of pSS research from 1999 to 2023.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis using CiteSpace software.
- Data sourced from the Web of Science Core Collection (1999-2023).
- Analysis of publication counts, citations, authors, institutions, countries, keywords, and journals.
Main Results:
- 3564 articles published between 1999 and 2023.
- The People's Republic of China led in publications; University of Bergen led in institutional output.
- Mariette X was the most prolific author; Vitali C was the most cited author.
Conclusions:
- Current pSS research focuses on pathogenesis, targeted biological agents, and diagnostic/treatment standards.
- Annals of Rheumatic Diseases is a prominent journal for pSS research.
- Continued research is vital for improving outcomes in primary Sjogren syndrome.

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS
13.3K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs
15.0K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway
8.8K
Several cytokine receptors have tightly bound Janus kinase or JAK proteins attached at their cytosolic tail. Small signaling molecules such as cytokines, growth hormones, or prolactins bind to the cytokine receptors and initiate their dimerization. The dimerization brings the cytosolic JAKs together that trans-phosphorylate and activates each other. The activated JAKs now phosphorylate cytosolic tails of the cytokine receptors, which serve as binding sites for adaptor proteins such as SH2...
