Abstract EN
Objective.
This study summarized asthma literature indexed in the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) and explored the history and present trends of asthma cell research by stem frequency ranking to forecast the prospect of future work.
Methods.
Literature was obtained from MEDLINE for the past 30 years and divided into three groups by decade as the retrieval time.
The frequency of stemmed words in each group was calculated using Python with Apache Spark and the Natural Language Tool Kit for ranking.
The unique stems or shared stems of 3 decades were summarized.
Results.
A total of 1331, 4393, and 7215 records were retrieved from 3 decades chronologically, and the stem ranking of the top 50 were listed by frequency.
The number of stems shared with 3 decades was 26 and with the first and last 2 decades was 5 and 13.
Conclusions.
The number of cell research studies of asthma has increased rapidly, and scholars have paid more attentions on experimental research, especially on mechanistic research.
Eosinophils, mast cells, and T cells are the hot spots of immunocyte research, while epithelia and smooth muscle cells are the hot spots of structural cell research.
The research trend is closely linked with the development of experimental technology, including animal models.
Early studies featured basic research, but immunity research has dominated in recent decades.
The distinct definition of asthma phenotypes associated with genetic characteristics, immunity research, and the introduction of new cells will be the hot spots in future work.
