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
Matrix metalloproteinases play an important role in extracellular matrix remodelling. It has been proposed that matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is involved in epithelial damage in ulcerative colitis (UC). However, to our knowledge, no data are available in terms of MMP-9 expression in microscopic colitis. Determination of mucosal protein expression levels of MMP-9 in lymphocytic colitis (LC), collagenous colitis (CC) and UC. MMP-9 immunohistochemical expressions were analyzed in paraffin-embedded tissue samples by immunohistochemistry including patients with LC, CC, UC, active diverticulitis, inactive diverticular disease and healthy control subjects. UC was also subgrouped according to the severity of inflammation. Immunostaining was determined semiquantitatively. Independent colonic biopsies from healthy and severe UC cases were used for gene expression analyses. For further comparison MMP-9 serum antigen levels were also determined in patients with UC and control patients without macroscopic or microscopic changes during colonoscopy. MMP-9 mucosal expression was significantly higher in UC (26.7∈±∈19. 5%) compared to LC (6.6∈±∈9.3%), CC (6.4∈±∈7. 6%), active diverticulitis (5.33∈±∈2.4%), inactive diverticular disease (5.0∈±∈2.2%) and controls (6.3∈±∈2. 6%) (P∈<∈0.001). The immunohistochemical expression of MMP-9 in LC and CC was similar as compared to controls. MMP-9 expression was significantly higher in each inflammatory group of UC compared to controls (mild: 11.0∈±∈2.8%, moderate: 23.9∈±∈3.7%, severe UC: 52.6∈±∈3.9% and 6.3∈±∈2.6%, respectively, P∈<∈0.005). The gene expression microarray data and RT-PCR results demonstrated a significantly higher expression of MMP-9 in severely active UC compared to healthy controls (P∈<∈0.001). Significantly higher MMP-9 serum antigen concentrations were observed in UC patients compared with the control group (P∈<∈0.05). MMP-9 seems to play no role in the inflammatory process of LC and CC. In contrast, the mucosal up-regulation of MMP-9 correlated with the severity of inflammation in UC. The increased MMP-9 expression could contribute to the severity of mucosal damage in active UC. © 2011 Arányi Lajos Foundation.
