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
Objectives: The objective of this study was to elucidate the differentiation mechanism of keratinocytes in cholesteatoma. Study Design: To achieve the objective, we analyzed the expressions of various cellular proteins: the delta and eta isoforms of protein kinase C (PKCδ and PKCη), which are thought to play key roles in signal transduction in differentiation; cytokeratin 1 (CK1) and cytokeratin 10 (CK10) (cytoskeletal constitutive proteins); and involucrin (a marker of differentiation). Methods: The materials used in this study were tissue specimens obtained from cholesteatoma epidermis, normal external ear canal skin, normal inguinal skin, and psoriatic skin. Immunohistochemical staining techniques were applied to compare the expressions of the above proteins (i.e., PKCδ, PKCη, CK1, CK10 and involucrin) in those various tissues. Results: No clear differences in the patterns of expression of PKCδ and PKCη were found between the cholesteatoma epidermis and the normal external ear canal skin. These proteins were expressed mainly in the stratum spinosum and stratum granulosum, and their patterns of expression were almost the same as those of the CK1, CK10, and involucrin proteins. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that the terminal differentiation of keratinocytes in the cholesteatoma epidermis is the same as in normal skin tissues. It was concluded that the growth of epidermis which has undergone hyperproliferation of keratinocytes because of increased levels of various cytokines is being regulated by means of normal terminal differentiation.
