Excerpts

The CLEC16A gene showed modest significance in all approaches, except for the Fp method ( Table 4 ).

However, we were unable to establish a clear trend for L and hence adjustment for the skewness in BMI according to body height was not possible.

In this study, the tumor location (oropharynx versus hypopharynx) was weakly associated with the 2-year local control rate and showed slightly significant difference between the control and failure group, in which oropharyngeal SCC had better chemoradiation response than hypopharyngeal SCC.

(3) The model of rs1800872×rs72393728 may be a risk factor for general symptom scores on the PANSS and for a trend toward significance with total scores on the PANSS of TD patients.

Although our study is limited in the number of cases examined and did not have the necessary power to distinguish early and late stages of liver cancer, it is remarkable that even with a small sample size (cancer: n = 16, normal: n = 16) we were able to obtain highly significant results ( Figure 4D ).

For both groups a statistical trend towards allodynia/hyperalgesia could be found in the other thermal stimulation.

The plastid genome has some advantages in relation to the nuclear genome for traceability purposes [30] : i) it is maternally inherited; ii) thousands of copies are present per cell, which is an extremely significant advantage for forensic analyses; iii) it is circular instead of linear, and therefore resistant to exonucleases; iv) organelles have a double membrane that makes chloroplast DNA more resistance to degradation, which is also a significant advantage for forensics; and v) it has a lower mutation rate than nuclear genomic sequences, and its stability may be an advantage for traceability analyses, despite of a low polymorphism level.

Cox proportional hazards models using the periodontally healthy dentate group as the referent population in unadjusted models demonstrate a clear trend and a gradient with increasing periodontal disease severity increasing the hazards ratios (HR) from 1.90 (95% confidence interval: 1.28–2.83) to 2.22 (1.44–3.41) and 4.66 (3.21–6.78) for edentulism.

In unadjusted models for GOLD stage I subjects there is an apparent trend of increasing hazard ratio associated with periodontal disease severity with the highest risk observed in the edentulous individuals [HR = 5.06 (2.60–9.85)].

This implies that the effect of DO can be quite significant and dominant over the effects of DM.

In the cortex of OLE-fed animals of both ages, Beclin 1 levels showed a trend towards an increase in wt mice and a significant increase in the Tg mice compared to the respective age-matched untreated animals, as exemplified in Fig. 4B for mice of 3.5 months of age.

The difference was quite significant because relationship between ΔΨ and mitochondrial proton permeability is non-linear [ 75 ], and the higher ΔΨ means that the conductance of the inner mitochondrial membrane for protons was lower than normal.

Healing in Sulf2 −/− mice (19.1%±4.1, n = 14) showed a trend to be delayed that did not attain statistical significance.

Heterogeneity in effect sizes between class I/II and class III obesity was statistically significant only for FTO rs9939609 ( P het = 0.031) and borderline significant for MC4R rs17782313 ( P het = 0.050).

Gefitinib treatment worked for the suppression of tumor growth, whereas intestinal apoptosis was significantly frequent in the mice treated with a high dose of gefitinib (100 mg/kg b.w.), and also the treated mice exhibited an increasing trend in the level of plasma alkaline phosphatase, GOT, GPT and (total-, direct- and indirect-) bilirubin.

Conclusion We found an increasing trend of median CD4 counts among PLHIV presenting to ART centres in Karnataka, an indicator of enhanced and early access to HIV care.

However, we observed marginally significant effects of the knockout mutation of atsD and pAt_157836F (Δ atsD ) on maize immature embryo transformation frequency (Figure S5C in File S2 ; paired sample t -test, P = 0.017).

There was a slight trend to delayed disease onset that did not result in a statistically significant change in cumulative or peak disease score.

By means of repeated imaging acquisition, the study showed a trend towards greater vessel-patency rate at day 3 in patients that received ATT before 24 h of thrombolysis, despite that the anatomical location of the occluded vessels at onset was comparable with the occlusions identified in patients that received ATT beyond 24 h.

The Kruskall-Wallis test revealed highly significant p values for differences across all diagnoses for all markers except CD3.

In a marginal trend, self-perceived social status was positively correlated with the difference between estimations of own height when restrained versus unrestrained, r (45) = .27, p <.08.

A marginal significance remained after adjustment.

However, we did find a negative trend (although non significant) between species richness change among herbivorous Orthoptera and plant species richness change at higher levels of NHx deposition, whereas such relation could not be detected for the group of non-herbivores (carni- and omnivores; fig. 5a ).

The negative correlation between observer experience score and amplitudes in the saccades measured around hits was significant, while for bounces the correlation was marginally significant.

2 show a clear trend for the gaze to turn to the subject who is speaking.
