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
Purpose: To investigate whether concurrent hypertension affects vitreous cytokine levels in diabetic retinopathy. Methods: Vitreous samples from 41 patients with diabetic retinopathy with or without concurrent hypertension, who underwent vitrectomy, were collected. Vitreous cytokine concentrations were simultaneously measured using flow cytometry. Patients were stratified according to hypertension or other clinical conditions, and the differences in vitreous levels of monocyte chemotactic protein 1, interleukin 8, vascular endothelial growth factor, interferon-inducible protein 10, and monokine induced by interferon gamma were examined. Results: Vitreous levels of monocyte chemotactic protein 1 and interleukin 8 were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in hypertensive patients than in nonhypertensive patients and were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in active diabetic retinopathy than in inactive diabetic retinopathy. Vitreous levels of vascular endothelial growth factor, interferon-inducible protein 10, and monokine induced by interferon gamma were not affected by the coexistence of hypertension. In multivariate models, active diabetic retinopathy (P = 0.004 and P = 0.007), systolic blood pressure (P = 0.039 and P = 0.041), and hypertension (P = 0.032 and P = 0.035) were significant and independent predictors for increased vitreous monocyte chemotactic protein 1 and interleukin 8 levels. Conclusion: Both monocyte chemotactic protein 1 and interleukin 8 levels were elevated in the vitreous of patients with diabetic retinopathy and concurrent hypertension. These findings may help to explain the epidemiologic and clinical evidence that systemic hypertension exacerbates diabetic retinopathy. Copyright © Opthalmic Communications Society. Inc.
