Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury is a critical pathological process that occurs when blood flow is restored to the brain following a period of reduced oxygen supply, such as during a stroke. This phenomenon is associated with a cascade of molecular and cellular events that can exacerbate tissue damage, inflammation, and neurological deficits [1, 2 ]. In recent years, research efforts have increasingly focused on the intricate interplay between inflammation and cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, recognizing inflammation as a central contributor to both the initial injury and the subsequent recovery processes [3].

Ischemic stroke remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, emphasizing the urgent need for a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms. While the initial ischemic insult triggers a sequence of events that result in cell death and tissue damage, the reperfusion phase introduces a new set of challenges, including the activation of inflammatory pathways that can exacerbate injury and influence recovery outcomes [4- 7].

Inflammation, once considered a secondary response to ischemic injury, is now recognized as an integral component of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. Immune cells, cytokines, chemokines, and various signaling molecules play pivotal roles in orchestrating the complex cellular responses observed during ischemia-reperfusion. This includes the activation of resident immune cells within the brain, infiltration of peripheral immune cells, and the subsequent release of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors [8, 9].

Understanding the dynamics of inflammation in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury is not only crucial for deciphering the underlying pathophysiology but also holds promising implications for the development of novel therapeutic strategies. By dissecting the intricate molecular pathways and cellular interactions, researchers aim to identify key targets for intervention, with the ultimate goal of mitigating tissue damage and improving neurological outcomes for stroke patients [10- 12].

This study seeks to contribute to the current understanding of inflammation in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis. By quantitatively evaluating the existing literature, this analysis aims to identify trends, knowledge gaps, and emerging perspectives that will guide future research directions. The synthesis of these insights will provide a roadmap for advancing our understanding of inflammation-related mechanisms in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and accelerating the development of innovative therapeutic approaches.

The bibliometric analysis conducted in this study reveals several noteworthy trends and insights into the research landscape surrounding inflammation in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. The discussion section delves into these findings, contextualizing them within the broader field of stroke research and inflammation-related studies.
