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
Bone mineral is a major determinant of the mechanical resistance of bones. In bone structural units (BSUs), mineralization of osteoid tissue begins with a rapid primary mineralization followed by a secondary mineralization phase, i.e., a slow and gradual maturation of the mineral component leading to complete mineralization during an unknown period. The aim of this study was to determine the chronology of secondary bone mineralization in ewes, an animal model with a remodeling activity close to humans. Eighteen ewes received different fluorescent labels every 6 months to date the “age” of each labeled BSU. The degree of mineralization of bone (DMB) and Vickers microhardness were measured in labeled BSUs, while mineralization at the crystal level was assessed by Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy (FTIRM). During the first 6 months of mineralization, degree of mineralization and microhardness significantly increased. They then increased more slowly until at 30 months they reach their maximal values. This progression during secondary mineralization was associated with an improvement of both the maturation and the crystal perfection of the mineral part of bone matrix. Finally, secondary mineralization in BSUs is completed after a period of 30 months. This observation should be taken into account for understanding the effects of long-term treatments of bone diseases.
