Excerpts

Raised fasting glucose had a marginal significance (AOR = 1.01; 1.001, 1.01) ( Table 2 ).

Apart from the aforementioned factors, fires showed a decreasing trend with increase in elevation i.e. the highest fire frequencies were found in low elevation (0–100m) areas.

However there was a mild trend towards a better PFS in patients with RDI reduction lower than 15%.

The anti-angiogenic genes Angiomotin 2 and Thrombospondin 2 showed a trend towards a higher expression value in the atrophy group at day 7 ( Fig 8 ).

However, and in agreement with Ahad et al, [ 29 ], our results also indicated that adenine treatment has induced a highly significant increase in the concentrations of some inflammatory cytokines (particularly TNF–α), and this effect has been significantly and markedly suppressed by chrysin treatment at the three doses given.

The data depicted that activity of GR showed an increasing trend with an increase in different Cd 2+ concentrations ( Fig 3E ).

Otherwise the pattern of development for the two brush border membrane enzymes was similar with an increasing trend during the experimental period ( Fig 9 , Table 3 ).

There is a clear trend towards lower fluorescence intensities as the alkyl chain length increases.

The interactive effect remained highly significant except the interactions of YxLxG, SDxG, LxSDxG and YxLxSDxG.

Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis with DAVID identified ATP nucleotide binding, cellular processes, cell death/apoptosis, immune system processes, immune cell activation, regulation of immune system, kinase activity, glucose metabolism, and stress response as GO categories with highly significant overrepresentation of differentially expressed genes ( Table 4 ).

All cortical regions showed a clear trend of significant information flow from posterior regions towards anterior regions.

PtLOX2 expression was upregulated within 3 h, and then its level of expression level decreased after MeJA treatment; however, the expression level of this gene showed an increasing trend after 9 h; the expression pattern of PtLOX9 ( Fig 10A ) and PtLOX13 ( Fig 10 ) was similar to this.

P<0.05 were considered significant, while p<0.01 and p<0.001 were considered highly significant. 3.

The corresponding DMFS was 86.3% compared with 76.7% (χ2 = 3.161, P = 0.075, Fig 2C ), which’s difference is marginally significant.

Density was highly variable across regions, and displayed a decreasing trend from west to east.

The negative dataset was highly significant with a NES of- 1.44, and contained a core 365 genes that are negatively regulated by PTH in both the cell model and the bone tubes.

The positive enrichment did not quite reach significance.

The serum C-P levels show a decreasing trend after administration of chromium malate.

More than 50% ASC possessed either one of these two mutations and 42% ASC possessed both; 2) the frequency of four mutations (1485T, 1631T, 1762T, and 1764A) showed an increasing trend accompanied with the disease progression though the changes among groups were not significant (Jonckheere-Terpstra trend test, P > 0.05); and 3) ratios of 4 mutations (1383C, 1479C, 1479T, and 1719T) fluctuated among different disease phases.

Also, miR-409-5p showed a trend for down-regulation, while miR-410 did not significantly change.

In some cases, the sample size was not sufficient, but there may be significant interethnic differences in the effect sizes at several loci; therefore, it is important to evaluate the effect of each locus in different ethnic groups [ 18 , 27 ].

We detected a positive trend between geographic distance and genetic differentiation between nest aggregations.

Discussion There is an increasing trend of conducting economic evaluations for the purpose of informing resource allocation decision-making in LMICs [ 39 , 40 ], driven largely by increased investment in this kind of policy research by major global health players such as BMGF, GAVI alliance, and the World Health Organization.

When we restricted our analyses to the top half of the ordinal rank distribution (ranks 1 through 8, n = 47, because lower ranking males rarely sire offspring) [ 16 ], we found a marginally significant linear relationship between dominance rank and length-for-age that explained ~9% of the variance in dominance rank: Dominance rank = (-1.59*length-for-age) + 3.33, F 1,45 = 4.510, R 2 = 0.091, p <0.05 ( Fig 3 ).

Clay content and indaziflam showed a negative trend, however a non-significant correlation was obtained.
