Excerpts

C/C monozygotes of MTHFR C677T with a history of drinking alcohol showed a decreased risk of thyroid cancer, where an increasing trend was observed in individuals with a minor allele T.

Statistical analysis of Raman spectroscopic results shows a clear trend between growth rate and defectiveness that is in quantitative agreement with a model where defects are healed preferentially at the growth front.

In addition, when the lag was −15, there was a marginally significant negative CCF, which we believe to be a false alarm.

In addition, for all 22 deregulated genes, a positive and highly significant correlation was also found between the estimates of fold change in expression level from RNA-seq data and RT-qPCR results (R 2 : 0.9187) (Fig. 1c ).

It turned out that for the multi-variate stratification we generally yield higher accuracies of 81% to 88% than for the uni-variate stratification with accuracies of 80% to 84%, and highly significant log-rank test p-values for all tested classifiers (2.69e-010 to 2.46e-005).

Studies on general TIL density do not show a clear trend on whether high or low densities are beneficial 62 – 66 since different subpopulations of effector and regulatory T lymphocytes are involved.

In the SA, the sediment δ 13 C data in the deep Cape Basin 35 , 36 below ~4000 m show a decreasing trend from 125 ka to 115 ka, in contrast to data from sediments at shallower depth (Fig. 5b ).

However, whereas the trend line of underground biomass and total biomass showed a gradually increasing trend, aboveground biomass showed a decreasing trend (Fig. 2 ).

The fourth PRC set, though also marginally statistically significant, is not presented in Fig. 3 as the proportion of explained variation (6.8%) was relatively low.

An increasing trend and wide variations across the country were observed.

However, when a sequential Bonferroni correction 15 was applied to mitigate against the so-called “multiple comparison problem” (where for a significant p-value of 0.5, 5% of tests are likely to be significant by chance), no loci in any of the four populations were found to be out of HWE.

This is because most studies focused on the particle properties as influenced by different chitosan-TPP mass ratios 7 , 16 , 17 but did not take into account other experimental factors such as the DA of the chitosan used which can be expected to be highly significant in a process that depends on the NH 3 + groups for interaction, like in the case of ionic gelation.

Mean age in Austria’s population increased, whilst mean age of patients undergoing primary THA and TKA remained on steady state during the observation period, suggesting a slight trend towards younger arthroplasty receivers.

An increasing trend was observed in CE strokes, and a decreasing trend was observed in SVD strokes in Canada, Korea, and Poland.

These two marine areas displayed highly significant differences in genetic diversity, structure and absence of connectivity across the Florida Strait for the d-loop marker in a previous study 21 .

In denervated muscle, ErbB3 protein showed an increasing trend with respect to un-injured muscle; however, this trend was not statistically significant, but we have to underline the high animal-to-animal variability observed in western blot analysis.

In the recent years, a strong trend could be observed for miniaturization of optical traps, for example in order to use them in lab-on-chip setups 5 .

Treatment with crotamine by the oral route for 21 days showed a trend towards a reduced the expression of the beta-3 adrenergic receptor mRNA ( Adrb3 , Fig. 5a ).

In the 12 h vs 6 h comparison, the qPCR data showed a highly significant linear correlation to the RNA-seq data with an R 2 value of 0.5362, and a Pearson’s r value of 0.7323 (two-tailed P value of 0.0019) (Fig.

In both cases, a clear trend is found where ω BP increases with the addition of Al 2 O 3 .

They also presented more frequently advanced outer retinal alterations on SD-OCT, with n = 5/7 cases presenting an absent ISe or an hyporeflective zone as compared to n = 1/7 cases among patients without foveal NIR-AF hypoautofluorescence ( P = 0.051, near-significant difference).

7C–D , the bone volume fraction and trabecular thickness showed an increasing trend in cyperenoic acid-treated group, but the difference did not reach statistical significance.

For the evaluation of significant differences, P < 0.05 was considered significant, and P < 0.01 was considered highly significant.

During exhalation CSF follows a caudal movement (blue), which is most prominent in lower thoracic regions, while upper thoracic and cervical levels do not exhibit a clear trend.

Despite the high detection limit, the test to control line ratio follows a clear trend with increasing ampicillin amounts, as verified by four technical replicates each performed in triplicates.
