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
In colorectal cancer and other tumors, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) has been found to be a useful marker in immunohistochemical studies of cell proliferation, The presence of a correlation among PCNA labeling index (PCNA LI) and values of cell proliferation expressed by [H-3]thymidine labeling index (TLI) and flow cytometry (FC), the most common techniques used in the evaluation of proliferative activity in colorectal cancer were studied. In 50 operable colorectal cancer patients, TLI, PCNA LI and determination of S-phase fraction by FC were carried out in order to evaluate the correlation among these three indices. A good correlation was obtained between PCNA LI and both TLI (r=0.667; P=0.0001) and percent of cells in S-phase as determined by FC (r=0.819; P=0.0001). It is concluded that PCNA immunohistochemistry can be a reliable marker of the proliferative activity in colorectal rumours. Furthermore, because of its technical simplicity and lower cost it can be more advantageous than TLI or FC.
