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
By immunization with rabbit immunoglobulins and the injection of a subnephritogenic dose of rabbit nephrotoxic serum (NTS), accelerated-type nephrotoxic serum nephritis (NTN) was induced in heterozygous (rnu/+) rats but not in athymic nude (rnu/rnu) rats. By transferring rat antibody against rabbit immunoglobulins, marked proteinuria was induced also in nude rats (202.0 ± 98.4 mg/day on day 3) as in rnu/+ rats (122.6 ± 35.3 mg/day on day 3). No marked differences in histological findings could be found between both groups. The most marked increase in the number of intraglomerular infiltrating cells was observed in heterozygous rats indicating that the presence of thymus-derived cells leads to the accumulation of more cells in glomeruli. We conclude that humoral immunity alone is enough to accelerate the pathogenic mechanism which induces glomerular injury with heavy proteinuria in this model.
