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
Objective - To determine the ex vivo leukotriene (LT) biosynthesis in peripheral blood neutrophils (PBNs) and inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) obtained from horses affected with recurrent airway obstruction (RAO). Animals - 6 RAO-affected and 6 control horses. Procedures - Before and 6, 24, and 48 hours after stabling, disease severity was determined subjectively by clinical and mucus scores and measurement of the maximal change in pleural pressure (ΔPpl); PBNs were isolated and BALF samples were examined cytologically. The PBN and BALF cells were activated with a calcium ionophore in the presence of arachidonic acid, and production of LTC and LTB was measured per 10 cells. Results - Clinical and mucus scores and ΔPpl increased during stabling in RAO-affected horses, but not in control horses. In neutrophils and BALF cells from both groups, production of LTB exceeded that of LTC. At all times, LTB production by PBNs was less in RAO-affected horses than it was in control horses. Before stabling, LTB production by cells in BALF was low in RAO-affected horses, but increased considerably after 6 hours of stabling. This increase coincided with the migration of neutrophils into the airways. In control horses, production of LTB did not change during stabling. Conclusions and Clinical Relevance - Results suggested increased production of LTB in airways of RAO-affected horses, compared with control horses, that may contribute to the infiltration of neutrophils into the lungs and the sustained inflammation associated with RAO.
