However, two interaction terms for protein content showed a trend.

Nominally significant variants are presented in Supplementary Table 4 .

Discussion Our study revealed several novel and important findings: First, patients with stable COPD, compared with smokers without COPD, had significantly higher serum levels of HN and GDF-15, and showed a trend toward elevated FGF21 levels.

Women with OWOB are at a higher risk for delivering small and large for gestational age infants, while women categorized as overweight are at risk for delivering large for gestational age babies 35 ; thus, there may be significant physiological differences within the OWOB pregnant women that were masked due to inability to differentiate the groups.

shHDAC6 showed a trend towards improved survival that did not reach statistical significance (Fig. 5 A).

6 D, an increasing trend was noticed after SDBD treatment for all palm date varieties except Khadari , which decreased from 356.63 ± 3.48 to 350.13 ± 7.87 N.

Oxygen consumption There was a marginally significant effect of time period (i.e., during heatwave vs recovery) on oxygen consumption rates, with higher overall rates of oxygen consumption during the heatwave compared to the recovery period ( p < 0.05, Fig. 4 , Table 2 , Supplementary Table S3 ).

Interestingly, the double mutants S383A/S389E and S383E/S389E showed significant neurite growth inhibition compared to the wild-type and other combinations containing the S389A mutation, both of which showed a trend towards growth promotion that was not statistically significantly different from the wild-type construct (Fig. 3 E and F).

While only a few studies have assessed the association between BP levels and the prevalence of ocular hypertension, most have suggested a positive trend 26 – 28 , similar to our study.

In this study setting, with a pre-pregnancy BMI cutoff value of ≥ 25.0 kg/m 2 (overweight/obesity), an increasing trend of mPTB was observed in individuals with overweight/obesity, but overweight/obesity was not significantly associated with sPTB in the subsequent pregnancies.

Especially, cities lacking waterbody placed a greater emphasis on ecological factors, whose urban waterbody areas showed an increasing trend.

Multivariate analysis was performed using significant factors and those with a tendency toward significance in the univariate analyses.

Binomial logistic regression analysis of such statistically significant variables indicated that with a high level of each anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody, only three factors, namely, chronic respiratory diseases (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.93; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.06–3.52; p = 0.0308), smoking history (aOR, 3.18; 95% CI, 1.53–6.63; p = 0.0020), and COVID-19 history (aOR, 22.7; 95% CI, 4.14–124; p = 0.0003; Table 1 ), were highly significant risk factors for infectious seropositivity.

12 noted a clear trend of increasing extreme precipitation globally in the twenty-first century.

22 analyzed the changes in the spatial and temporal patterns of heavy rainfall in different urbanized regions of China and found that the interannual and interdecadal heavy rainfall amounts, days of rainfall and rainfall intensity in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region show a decreasing trend, while that in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta regions show an increasing trend.

The results show that the correlation between urban land use and regional surface temperature trends within the 1–16 km buffer zone is highly significant.

The interaction effect of AA and cultivars showed that the there is a significant trend with increasing the concentration of AA used in all leafy cabbages in plant height, dry and fresh weight of shoot (Table 2 ).

The interaction effect of cultivar and AAs application on antioxidant enzymes (APX, SOD and POX) showed significant difference between the cultivars and the amount of used AAs, and specially in “Ka-scotch” a clear trend of three antioxidant enzymes was observed with increasing AA concentration (Fig. 3 A–C).

The dissolved Cu concentrations show generally a decreasing trend after inoculation but is not significantly different for all water and sediment sample class.

In the harvested area, DTP exhibited an increasing trend, with the highest concentration detected in August 2019.

The association between ARF and consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages remained highly significant in the multivariable analysis (adjusted OR 2.00; 1.13–3.54) and did not appear to be a marker for poor diet associated with poverty 6 .

Under free-swimming conditions, although there was no significant change in the average swimming speed under low caffeine exposure, an increasing trend was observed (Fig. 2 e).

Although the expression of GST Mu ( gstm1 ) showed a decreasing trend, the effects were not significant (Table S2).

Differences between epicuticle and exocuticle were highly significant for both H and E (see Table 2 ).

The annual changes in carbon stocks increased until 1996, but the annual increase showed a decreasing trend thereafter.
