Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Objective: The aim of our study was to explore the correlations between C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and clinical stages of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods: We analyzed 108 cases, among them, 68 cases were NPC, 20 cases were benign inflammatory diseases of nasopharynx, 20 cases were healthy volunteers as control. CRP was determined with immunoturbidimetry (ITM). Results: The mean concentrations of CRP in NPC (19.76 mg/L) were significantly increased compared to that in the control group (6.23 mg/L), while were significantly lower than that in benign inflammatory group (45.63 mg/L); The mean concentrations of CRP in T4 group (25.58 mg/L) were higher than that in T1 group (17.35 mg/L), T2 group (18.65 mg/L) and T3 group (15.61 mg/L). The mean concentrations of CRP in N3 group (28.04 mg/L) were higher than that in N0 (17.62 mg/L), N1 (21.27 mg/L), N2 (18.62 mg/L) respectively, the mean concentrations of CRP in IV (25.74 mg/L) were higher than that in I (14.20 mg/L), II (16.10 mg/L), III (23.01 mg/L), respectively. Conclusion: The serum CRP level is associated with the occurrence of NPC and benign inflammatory disease of nasopharynx. In NPC, the CRP level has positive relationship with the TNM stage.
