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
A natural pH-sensitive dye, curcumin, and a synthetic pH-sensitive dye, Bromothymol blue, were successfully applied on cotton/polyamide 6 medical dressings. The work addresses two different topics: on the one hand the dyeing process of the medical devices; on the other hand, the evaluation of the dyed medical dressing biocompatibility. Different dye concentrations were tested to find the best dye exhaustion and dye fastness to washing and perspiration. The halochromic test evidenced a pH sensitivity in a range of pH from 5.5 to 8.0 and 8.5. These properties confirmed their possible usage as potential pH textile sensors in the control of skin diseases. The last sections examine the biocompatibility of the prepared medical devices with human skin. MTT assay on in vitro cultures of human epithelial cells (HaCaT keratinocytes) was performed to test the cytotoxicity. In vitro permeation studies with Franz cells were performed as well to evaluate the dye potential accumulation in the skin layers. No cytotoxicity was detected as well as no dye permeation through the skin layers.
