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
Although Marcello Malpighi in 1666 was the first to call attention to the glomerulus as an important part of the mammalian kidney, it was not until the detailed microscopic observations of von Möllendorf and Zimmermann around 1930 that the central or axial, connective tissue-like space of the glomerular capillary tuft was distinguished from the glomerular endothelial and epithelial cell layers. This inter- or pericapillary region, harboring a “third cell” type, came to be known as the mesangium and became a focus of investigative interest for students of glomerular morphology, function and pathobiology [reviewed in 1]. To pathologists and nephrologists, it has been a most important finding that the expansion of the mesangium, due to increases in cellularity and extracellular matrix, is a prominent histologic abnormality in all types of chronic, progressive glomerular disease. The proliferative response in the human mesangium is most pronounced in diseases such as mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis and IgA nephropathy. The sclerotic response as characterized by the accumulation of mesangial matrix, is a common feature of all advanced glomerular lesions and is especially prominent in diabetic nephropathy and chronic diseases such as focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis. In view of the obvious involvement of the mesangium in the pathogenesis of glomerular disease, it is important to understand the mechanisms which control the behavior of mesangial cells under physiological and abnormal conditions.
