Besides, high cancerous c-fos expression was significantly associated with tumor site and T stage, whereas peri-neural invasion was of a borderline significant relevance.

They also showed a trend that individuals with MCI have higher levels of CRP compared to cognitively normal [ 23 ].

Control mice receiving antibiotic showed a trend toward reduced morbidity compared to control mice receiving PBS.

HS and SPE-like radiation treatment alone resulted in a borderline significant increase in morbidity.

Positive allometry with Met 1 W as the reference character (significant for males and approaching significance for females) similarly suggests selection arising from the functional roles of pectines in adults.

When redundancy was related to perceived severity, the results showed an interesting trend.

By combining genotyping with cytology, testing positive for HPV16 or ASCUS+ cytology, as well as testing positive for HPV16 or HPV18 or ASCUS+ cytology had a markedly higher sensitivity of 75.6% (95% CI 65.4%–88.8%) and 92.6% (95% CI 91.8%–93.5%) respectively than ASCUS+ alone, the former being marginally significant and the latter being clearly significant and the highest among all test combinations.

As stated briefly in the results section, we also found an indication of a possible trend in increasing prevalence for hypertension with increasing maternal GWG in the second born sons.

Between microarray and qPCR data the correlation coefficients were highly significant and ranged between 0.73 and 0.91.

An aforementioned study revealed an increasing trend of surface area in the left parahippocampal gyrus in MDD [ 21 ], which was not replicated in our finding.

In general, mitochondrial genomes of the phylum Nematoda showed a trend for AT richness, ranging from 66% to 85%.

The interaction effect between intensity and its spatial aggregation was highly significant (with significant differences for both intercepts and slopes; Table 4 ), and the model had good predictive ability (cross-validation error = 5%).

In Groups A and C, the tumors exhibited an apparent trend to increase in size with time.

Moreover, in the rs3759475 polymorphism, genotypes CT and TT showed a trend for lower risk in the VALCAR sample and were associated with a lower risk for obesity in the Hortega population.

After adjustment, habitual smoking before or during pregnancy became marginally significant, parity≥1 and multiple pregnancies were no longer significant but weight gain from pre-pregnancy to GCT was significantly associated with the risk of GDM ( Table 4 ).

This growth difference was quite significant during the actively dividing logarithmic phase but a gradual recovery was observed as the cells approached stationary phase.

In this study, overexpression of miR-517a/b and miR-517c resulted in a highly significant decrease in trophoblast invasion suggesting that the increased miR-517a/b and miR-517c seen in preeclamptic placentas may target genes known to regulate trophoblast function early in pregnancy.

1 showed only a difference between the fish oil diet and control diet in ST3Gal IV-KO mice in center access of the open field tests; however, a little significant difference may have resulted from the small sample size.

Production of C6 compounds such as ( E )-2-hexenal and hexanal were positively correlated with alcohols such as 1-hexanol, ( Z )-3-hexen-1-ol, and ( E )-2-hexen-1-ol; the correlation between ( E )-2-hexenal and the associated alcohols was positive and highly significant (r = 0.95, 0.90, and 0.65, respectively), and that between hexenal and related alcohols was 0.78, 0.60, and 0.31, respectively.

However, there were marginally significant differences in the number of full songs, and no significant differences in the number of whisper calls or songs without introductory notes given by focal males during the control playback period as compared to during the treatment playback period of the experiment (Wilcoxon normal approximations: Z = 1.92, N = 30, p = 0.055, Z = 0.131, N = 30, p = 0.8956, Z = 0.038, N = 30, p = 0.9697, full songs, whisper calls, and no introductory note songs respectively, Fig. 4 ).

No males swooped during the pre-playback period, and so there was a highly significant difference between the number of swoops performed by males in the pre-playback period as compared to the control playback and treatment playback periods (pre-playback vs. control playback: Z = 3.39, N = 30, p = 0.007, pre-playback vs. treatment playback: Z = 3.73, N = 30, p = 0.0002, Fig. 4 bottom panel).

PC1 score) was higher in 2010 than 2011 and this difference approached significance ( Table 1 ).

The effect, however, was marginally non-significant ( Table 1 ).

There was a significant trend of increasing obesity rates among native Japanese, JA-1, and JA-2, in that order.

7b , S3 Fig ), while the growth trend in the previous 100 years did not show a significant trend ( Fig. 7b ).
