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
There is a high prevalence of cocaine abuse among Americans. There is an increasing concern over the rise of infectious diseases among individuals in this drug abuse population. This concern may be due, at least in part, to a direct effect of cocaine on the immune system. The present study investigated the effects of cocaine administration on optimal mitogen-induced proliferation in rats. Following cocaine administration, splenic lymphocytes were isolated and T-lymphocytes incubated with concanavalin A. When T-lymphocytes were isolated 30 minutes following cocaine administration, a significant enhancement of optimal mitogen-stimulated proliferation was observed at 0.1 mg/Kg cocaine. Enhancement of proliferation was seen 20 hours following cocaine administration at 0.1, 1.0 and 10 mg/Kg. However, these results were not statistically significant. Cocaine administered once daily for seven days had no effect on mitogen-induced proliferation. These results suggest that cocaine administration has a limited effect on optimal mitogen-stimulated proliferation. © 1995 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
