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
It has been reported that amiodarone induces disorders of alveolar macrophages and pulmonary fibrosis, but the mechanism is not well-understood. This study was performed to elucidate the toxic mechanism from the standpoint of cellular function. Using alveolar macrophages obtained from a male Sic:ICR mouse, several injuries caused by amiodarone were compared to those caused by amantadine and mianserin as cationic amphiphilic drugs (CADs). As parameters for the drug effects, H + -ATPase and acid sphingomylinase activities, cellular pH, cytokine and prostaglandin releases, phagocytosis and neutral red uptake were measured. Amiodarone decreased H + -ATPase activity initially and subsequently increased cellular pH and decreased acid sphingomyelinase activity. These changes, which were also observed with amantadine and mianserin, were considered to be CAD-related. Amiodarone increased cytokine and prostaglandin releases and suppressed neutral red uptake and phagocytosis. These changes, being not induced by amantadine and mianserin, were considered to be specific for amiodarone. The above data suggest that amiodarone has two types of toxic effects on alveolar macrophages.
