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 novel bioabsorbable suture, poly(glycolide caprolactone) (PGLCL) copolymer, was synthesized by second step polymerization. The effect of the reaction parameters on the inherent viscosity of the PGLCL prepolymer was examined. The chemical structure of the copolymer was characterized by H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and C NMR spectroscopy. The thermal properties of the copolymer were examined by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. Both the straight strength and knot strength of the PGLCL copolymer monofilament in vivo decreased significantly with increasing implant time. The organism resolvability tests confirmed that the PGLCL copolymer monofilament suture had been absorbed within 91 days with recovery from the inflammatory response. The biocompatibility tests indicated that all items had passed. © 2013 The Polymer Society of Korea and Springer Sciene+Business Media Dordrecht.
