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
Diabetes is currently the fifth leading cause of death by disease in the USA. The underlying mechanisms for type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2) and the enhanced susceptibility of such patients to inflammatory disorders and infections remain to be fully defined. We have recently shown that peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from non-diabetic people upregulate expression of inflammatory genes in response to proteasome modulators, such as bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and soybean lectin (LEC); in contrast, resveratrol (RES) downregulates this response. We hypothesized that LPS and LEC will also elicit a similar upregulation of gene expression of key signaling mediators in (PBMCs) from people with type 2 diabetes (PwD2, with chronic inflammation) ex vivo. Unexpectedly, using next generation sequencing (NGS), we show for the first time, that PBMCs from PwD2 failed to elicit a robust LPS- and LEC-induced gene expression of proteasome subunit LMP7 (PSMB8) and mediators of T cell signaling that were observed in non-diabetic controls. These repressed genes included: PSMB8, PSMB9, interferon-γ, interferon-λ, signal-transducer-and-activator-of-transcription-1 (STAT1), human leukocyte antigen (HLA DQB1, HLA DQA1) molecules, interleukin 12A, tumor necrosis factor-α, transporter associated with antigen processing 1 (TAP1), and several others, which showed a markedly weak upregulation with toxins in PBMCs from PwD2, as compared to those from non-diabetics. Resveratrol (proteasome inhibitor) further downregulated the gene expression of these inflammatory mediators in PBMCs from PwD2. These results might explain why PwD2 may be susceptible to infectious disease. LPS and toxins may be leading to inflammation, insulin resistance, and thus, metabolic changes in the host cells.
