Excerpts

The expression levels of Bax after HEMA or MMA treatment also showed a trend of increase, although there was no statistical significance compared to the control group (all P > 0.05).

Results Phenotyping for drought tolerance Hydroponic assay Highly significant differences were found in the seedling survivability, drought score, reduction in root and shoot length, fresh and dry weights of roots and shoots and seed yield per plant.

In addition to reduced emotional reactivity, our data suggested a more generalised reduction in cortical activity for the minimal-intervention group (as evidenced by a trend towards smaller overall LPP amplitudes in the minimal intervention group–although this effect only approached significance).

Indeed, data show that utilization of alternative receptors by HSV-1 is quite significant, since it can use different receptors according to the target cell [ 12 ].

caribaea , although for the yellow morph this selection was not quite significant ( Fig 6 , Table 1 ).

When male and female patients were analyzed separately, the association of methylation level with survival was almost significant in male but not in female patients ( Fig 8B and 8C ), suggesting that the role of AR methylation may be different in male and female patients.

Quantitative analysis of the medial subchondral compartment of the tibia ( S3B Fig ) showed an increasing trend in trabecular thickness in both WT and MT.

The general trend of higher chondrogenic gene expression in the MT than WT was maintained even under proinflammatory conditions, with the difference in Sox9 being statistically significant and that of Col2 approaching significance.

For example, S1PR1 , which mediates T cell egress [ 34 ], was significantly downregulated in CD4 + and CD8 + CD103 - cutaneous T cells, although fell short of significance in cutaneous T reg .

In the limited number of samples tested, CCR7 showed a trend of increased expression in CD8 + T cells from blood compared to skin (Graph A in S1 Fig ).

Finally, if considered together, a disproportionate number of nominally significant effects are from analyses for schizophrenia and epilepsy as opposed to diseases and traits with no evidence for an association with deletion status (4/6 vs. 3/27; p = 0.01, two-sided Fisher’s exact test).

Compared with the results from another epidemiological survey of MetS in Songyuan (an area of Jilin province) in 2010 [ 37 ], our study also showed a trend of increased prevalence of MetS in Jilin province (from 22.4% in 2009 to 32.86% at present).

A decreasing trend of fold change was found for EP2 expression by curcumin preconditioning in PGE 2 and fAβ 42 co-treated N9 cells ( Fig 4A ).

Further, our result demonstrate that learning of a motor sequence of dance movements to music in the real world can be visualized by expert dancers using fMRI and capture highly significant modeled fits of the brain network variance of BOLD signals from early learning to expert level performance.

This is observed first in the right auditory cortex peaking at seven weeks but without significant drop in signal by 34 weeks, whereas the left hemisphere auditory cortex showed a trend towards a decrease from the 7 th to the 34 th week.

Carcharhinus leucas showed large variability in catches, but there was an overall trend through time indicating they were more numerous in summer and autumn than winter and spring.

None of the SNP associations were close to significance when the subsample of the GENATHLETE world-class endurance athletes (VO 2 max ≥78 mL O 2 /kg/min) was considered.

One SNP (rs7947391) showed nominally significant associations in three replication cohorts (Australians, Polish and Spanish).

Fecal excretion of cholesterol was increased and there was a strong trend for doubled fecal excretion of free fatty acids, while excretion of triglycerides was unaltered, indicating dampened lipid absorption.

In line with this, Cyp8b1 -/- mice on HFD had a doubled fecal excretion of cholesterol and a clear trend for a doubled fecal excretion of FFAs, although the latter did not reach statistical significance.

Moreover, we observed a positive trend over the years.

Being overweight, obese, or a former, or current smoker was associated with an increase in the number of comorbidities; while healthy diet, physical activity (borderline significant) and moderate alcohol consumption were associated with decreased number of comorbidities.

The former (Pearson’s r = .45; p = .06) but not the latter ( p > .5) showed a trend for a correlation after Bonferroni correction and the strength of the two correlations differed significantly as determined by Steiger’s z ( z = 2.05; p < .05; see Fig 2B ).

In the case of flowers, the relationship only approached significance for groups S2 and L3 ( Table 3 ).

As shown in Fig 3 , The number of recommended collaborators has an obvious influence on the metrics with a clear trend.
