Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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
Our immune system can be exposed to neutral ionizing radiation. This work proposed to investigate the impacts of low-dose fast neutrons on the molecular structure of the lipids of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) as the primary immune cells. The effects have been followed at the time of 0, 2, 4, and 8 days after neutron exposure. Sixty-four female Wistar rats were used in this work. Thirty-two of them were irradiated using a low-dose fast neutron ( 241 Am–Be, 0.2 mGy/h). The other thirty-two were utilized as a control group. The changes in their lipids molecular structure were investigated using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Besides, lipids were extracted, and the total phospholipids contents were estimated. At the time of 2 and 4 days after irradiation, the results showed significant changes in the molecular structure of lipids in those irradiated samples compare with their control samples, and multivariate analysis succeeded in differentiating between control and irradiated rats. In contrast, no alterations between control and irradiated were detected at the time of 0 and 8 days after. The low-dose fast neutron could induce free radicals, which indirectly affect the molecular structure of the lipids and could damage the phospholipids molecules, and the damage could be repaired.
