Abstract
ObjectiveTo analyze the research trends of benzene poisoning in recent years, to highlight the relevant research hotspots and prospects through bibliometrics.
MethodsIn August 2020, used "benzene" methylbenzere as key words, publications were retrieved from the PubMed, the Web of Science Core Collection database, SinoMed and CNKI before August 31, 2020. Describing the publication time, the number of the published research, publication countries, research institutions and journals. VOSviewer 1.6.10 were used to evaluate and co-occurrence analyze the keywords of the researches.
ResultsThere were 510 English literatures about benzene poisoning. 43 countries had published relevant literatures. The United States had the largest number of articles (43.92%, 224/510) in this field, and China ranked second (11.57%, 59/510) . Relevant results had been published in 257 English journals. The most widely published journal was Environmental Health Perspectives (4.90%, 25/510) . There were 536 Chinese literatures. 368 research institutions had published relevant literatures. The first one was Shenzhen Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Hospital (3.36%, 18/536) , followed by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (3.17%, 17/536) . A total of 170 journals had published relevant research results. The most frequently published journal is Chinese Journal of Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Diseases (12.13%, 65/536) . Key words co-occurrence analysis indicated that the domestic and foreign literatures paid more attention to occupational exposure, blood toxicity, myelosuppression, genetic polymorphism and so on.
ConclusionDomestic and foreign researches on benzene poisoning are mostly in China and the United States. In recent years, the research has gradually focused on the related mechanism of benzene poisoning, such as blood toxicity, carcinogenicity, genotoxicity and immunotoxicity.
