Bibliometric analysis and knowledge mapping of diabetes mellitus combined with tuberculosis research: trends from 1995 to 2023
BackgroundThe synergistic epidemic of diabetes mellitus and tuberculosis (DM-TB) has created a dual disease burden, challenging global health systems with complex pathophysiological interactions and suboptimal treatment outcomes. To decode the evolving research landscape, this study presents the latest comprehensive bibliometric analysis mapping the intellectual architecture of DM-TB research over three decades.MethodsWe systematically analyzed 791 peer-reviewed articles from the Web of Science Core Collection (1995-2023) using CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Bibliometrix. Advanced metrics including co-citation networks, keyword burst detection, and institutional collaboration patterns were employed to identify paradigm-shifting trends.ResultsThree distinct growth phases were observed: initial stagnation (1995-2007, <10 annual publications), exponential growth (2008-2019), and research diversification (2020-2023). The United States dominated scientific output (27.3% of total publications), while the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine emerged as the central hub for international collaborations (TLS=176). Keyword evolution revealed three transformative phases: (1) Pathomechanistic exploration (1995-2016): Focused on hyperglycemia-immunity interplay and epidemiological surveillance; (2) Translational innovation (2017-2020): Shifted to preclinical models, pharmacokinetic optimization, and multidrug resistance; (3) Precision medicine era (2021-2023): Emerging hotspots in latent TB screening (burst strength=6.82), metformin-mediated immunomodulation, and AI-driven diagnostic biomarkers.ConclusionBeyond delineating historical trajectories, this study identifies critical knowledge gaps in inflammation-resolution mechanisms and insulin resistance pathways, proposing a roadmap for targeted biomarker discovery and global health policy formulation. The constructed knowledge framework empowers strategic resource allocation for combating the DM-TB syndemic
Antihypertensive Effect of Long-Term Oral Administration of Jellyfish (Rhopilema esculentum) Collagen Peptides on Renovascular Hypertension
Antihypertensive effect of long-term oral administration of jellyfish (Rhopilema esculentum) collagen peptides (JCP) on renovascular hypertension rats (RVHs) was evaluated. The systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of the RVHs were significantly reduced with administration of JCP (p < 0.05), compared with model control group. However, the arterial blood pressure of normal rats showed no significant changes during long-term oral treatment with high dose JCP (p > 0.05). Furthermore, effect of JCP on angiotensin II (Ang II) concentration of plasma had no significance (p > 0.05), but JCP significantly inhibited the Ang II concentration in RVHs’ kidney (p < 0.05). The kidney should be the target site of JCP
Dietary fiber intake and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: The mediating role of obesity
Background and aimsDietary pattern rich in fiber is negatively associated with the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Meanwhile, obesity is a known predisposing factor for NAFLD. Nutrient-focused research can enhance the mechanistic understanding of dietary effects. We thus hypothesized that higher dietary fiber intake was associated with lower risk of NAFLD through the mediating role of obesity.MethodsIn this nationwide cross-sectional study, dietary fiber was surveyed using two 24-h recalls. NAFLD and clinically significant fibrosis (CSF) were determined by vibration-controlled transient elastography. Multivariable logistic and linear regression were applied to investigate the association of dietary fiber with NAFLD, CSF, and liver function parameters. We used counterfactual-based mediation analysis to estimate the direct and indirect effect of dietary fiber on NAFLD.ResultsOf the 3,974 participants, ~36.86% and 7.78% of participants were diagnosed with NAFLD and CSF. Compared with participants among the lowest tertile, the highest tertile of dietary fiber consumption was associated with lower odds of NAFLD (OR = 0.81; 95% CI: 0.66–0.98; Poverall = 0.019). Dietary fiber intake appeared to be linked with lower odds of CSF (ORTertile3vs.Tertile1 = 0.81; 95% CI: 0.58–1.14; Poverall = 0.107). Mediation analysis showed that obesity fully mediated the association of dietary fiber with NAFLD. Dietary fiber was associated with improved hepatic parameters.ConclusionsThe findings indicated that increasing dietary fiber intake could confer a greater benefit to protect against NAFLD. Translating these findings regarding dietary fiber into dietary advice might be an attractive strategy for NAFLD prevention
ePlace-MS: Electrostatics-Based Placement for Mixed-Size Circuits
Abstract—We propose eP lace-MS, an electrostatics based placement algorithm for large-scale mixed-size circuits. ePlace-MS is generalized, flat, analytic and nonlinear. The density modeling method eDensity is extended to handle the mixed-size placement. We conduct detailed analysis on the correctness of the gradient formulation and the numerical solution, as well as the rationale of direct-current removal and the advantages over prior density functions. Nesterov’s method is used as the nonlinear solver, which shows high yet stable performance over mixed-size circuits. The steplength as the inverse of Lipschitz constant of the gradient function, while we develop a back-tracking method to prevent overestimation. An approximated nonlinear preconditioner is developed to minimize the topological and physical differences between large macros and standard cells. Besides, we devise a simulated annealer to legalize the layout of macros and use a second-phase global placement to re-optimize the standard cell layout. All the above innovations are integrated into our mixed-size placement prototype ePlace-MS, which outperforms all the related works in literature with better quality and efficiency. Compared to the leading-edge mixed-size placer NTUplace3 [13], ePlace-MS produces up to 22.98 % and on average 8.22 % shorter wirelength over all the sixteen modern mixed-size (MMS) benchmark circuits with the same runtime. Index Terms—Analytic placement, nonlinear optimization, electrostatic analogy, Poisson’s equation, spectral methods, fas
Real-time Monitoring for the Next Core-Collapse Supernova in JUNO
Core-collapse supernova (CCSN) is one of the most energetic astrophysical
events in the Universe. The early and prompt detection of neutrinos before
(pre-SN) and during the SN burst is a unique opportunity to realize the
multi-messenger observation of the CCSN events. In this work, we describe the
monitoring concept and present the sensitivity of the system to the pre-SN and
SN neutrinos at the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), which is
a 20 kton liquid scintillator detector under construction in South China. The
real-time monitoring system is designed with both the prompt monitors on the
electronic board and online monitors at the data acquisition stage, in order to
ensure both the alert speed and alert coverage of progenitor stars. By assuming
a false alert rate of 1 per year, this monitoring system can be sensitive to
the pre-SN neutrinos up to the distance of about 1.6 (0.9) kpc and SN neutrinos
up to about 370 (360) kpc for a progenitor mass of 30 for the case
of normal (inverted) mass ordering. The pointing ability of the CCSN is
evaluated by using the accumulated event anisotropy of the inverse beta decay
interactions from pre-SN or SN neutrinos, which, along with the early alert,
can play important roles for the followup multi-messenger observations of the
next Galactic or nearby extragalactic CCSN.Comment: 24 pages, 9 figure
JUNO Sensitivity to Invisible Decay Modes of Neutrons
We explore the bound neutrons decay into invisible particles (e.g.,
or ) in the JUNO liquid scintillator
detector. The invisible decay includes two decay modes: and . The invisible decays of -shell neutrons in
will leave a highly excited residual nucleus. Subsequently, some
de-excitation modes of the excited residual nuclei can produce a time- and
space-correlated triple coincidence signal in the JUNO detector. Based on a
full Monte Carlo simulation informed with the latest available data, we
estimate all backgrounds, including inverse beta decay events of the reactor
antineutrino , natural radioactivity, cosmogenic isotopes and
neutral current interactions of atmospheric neutrinos. Pulse shape
discrimination and multivariate analysis techniques are employed to further
suppress backgrounds. With two years of exposure, JUNO is expected to give an
order of magnitude improvement compared to the current best limits. After 10
years of data taking, the JUNO expected sensitivities at a 90% confidence level
are and
