Objective:To summarize the publications in the field of neurofibroma and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor in the past 25 years, to illuminate the cooperation among countries, academic institutions and researchers, and to compare the research topics between Chinese and English databases, and to predict the research trend.Methods:Web of Science and CNKI databases were searched, and literature about neurofibroma and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor(MPNST) resection from January 1st, 1997 to September 2nd, 2021 were included. Excel 2017 was used for statistical analysis. VOSviewer 1.6.16 software was used for clustering and visualization of countries, institutions, authors, and keywords.Results:A total of 9 620 English articles and 957 Chinese articles were included. Over the past 25 years, Chinese and English publications have been increasing quickly. In terms of countries and institutions, most of the countries with a large number of documents published in English literature (top 10) are developed countries and the institutional cooperation between them is relatively close. In terms of keywords clustering, the result of English literature are more comprehensive, including the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of complications. The clustering result suggest that the potential research hotspots in the future may be the impact of tumor microenvironment on the development of neurofibroma and MPNST, molecular typing of neurofibroma, drug resistance mechanism of neurofibroma and so on. The clustering of Chinese literature can be summarized as the auxiliary diagnosis of neurofibroma and the treatment of complications.Conclusions:In the future, researchers may pay more attention to the role of tumor microenvironment in the development of neurofibroma, driving factors of neurofibroma and MPNST, molecular typing and drug resistance mechanism of neurofibroma.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a global health problem that causes major illnesses and disabilities worldwide. Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that the prevalence of AR has increased progressively over the last few decades in more developed countries and currently affects up to 40% of the population worldwide. Likewise, a rising trend of AR has also been observed over the last 2–3 decades in developing countries including China, with the prevalence of AR varying widely in these countries. A survey of self-reported AR over a 6-year period in the general Chinese adult population reported that the standardized prevalence of adult AR increased from 11.1% in 2005 to 17.6% in 2011. An increasing number of original articles and imporclinical trials on the epidemiology, pathophysiologic mechanisms, diagnosis, management and comorbidities of AR in Chinese subjects have been published in international peer-reviewed journals over the past 2 decades, and substantially added to our understanding of this disease as a global problem. Although guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of AR in Chinese subjects have also been published, they have not been translated into English and therefore not generally accessible for reference to non-Chinese speaking international medical communities. Moreover, methods for the diagnosis and treatment of AR in China have not been standardized entirely and some patients are still treated according to regional preferences. Thus, the present guidelines have been developed by the Chinese Society of Allergy to be accessible to both national and international medical communities involved in the management of AR patients. These guidelines have been prepared in line with existing international guidelines to provide evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and management of AR in China.
