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
Among a number of different lipoprotein abnormalities, ‘midband lipoprotein’ migrating at a position between LDL and VLDL on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), is an atherogenic lipoprotein and intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid artery is a useful marker of atherosclerotic diseases. The present study evaluated relationships between the presence of ‘midband lipoprotein’ and carotid IMT in subjects with type 2 diabetes. The average IMT of the carotid artery was determined from the means of maximal thicknesses of both left and right common carotid arteries, carotid bulb, and internal carotid artery using ultrasound B mode imaging in 118 Japanese patients (72 men, 46 women) and 43 healthy controls. Multivariate regression analyses indicated that the duration of diabetes and presence of ‘midband lipoprotein’ were independent determinants of carotid artery IMT in 46 female subjects with diabetes, and these subjects were then subclassified into midband-positive ( n = 24) and midband-negative ( n = 22) groups. IMT of the carotid artery was significantly different between midband-positive (0.98 ± 0.32 mm) and midband-negative (0.79 ± 0.17 mm) groups ( P = 0.02). These findings suggest that ‘midband lipoprotein’ is a possible risk factor for IMT of the carotid artery in Japanese female type 2 diabetic patients.
