The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.2 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.4 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00066 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.34 SJR: 0.274 SNIP: 0.41 CiteScore™:: 2.8 H-Index: 37

ABSTRACT

We evaluated the efficiency of 12 aqueous extracts obtained at three different temperatures from four strains of culinary−medicinal Shiitake mushroom Lentinus edodes in protecting mice against the development of Ehrlich carcinoma. We observed first that the strains Le 96/17 and Le 95/ 01 of L. edodes were more efficient than JAB/k and Le 96/22 in increasing the survival time of tumor-bearing mice and that the temperature of 60 °C for extraction was more efficient than 22 °C or 100 °C for the first two strains. Groups of animals were then sacrificed following the treatments with the extract from Le 96/17 or Le 95/01 obtained at 60 °C and evaluated on the NK activity, the lymphoproliferative responsiveness of spleen cells to concanavalin A, and the specific antibody production. NK activity and proliferative response were not affected by the treatments, whereas the antitumor antibody response was enhanced by Le 95/01. Further analysis demonstrated that the extracts in vitro inhibited the NK activity and the proliferative responsiveness to concanavalin A.
