Among aeroallergens, the prevalence of sIgE positivity for house dust mite showed significant age-group difference only in Guangdong ( X 2 = 104.121, P < 0.001), with an increasing trend between 0–14 years, and peaking at 7–14 years (67.5%).

In this study, the major allergens for food sensitization in children aged 0–6 years were eggs and milk in both regions, and the prevalence of sIgE positivity for both allergens exhibited a decreasing trend later in life.

6G ) of NIR analysis, the total absorption value of those sulfur-containing compounds in 5000 cm −1 also showed an increasing trend along with prolonged SF time.

The proportions seem to have an increasing trend with the increased risk level of CHD, no matter for male or female.

Similarly, peripheral leukocyte populations showed a trend towards a transient increase immediately following ectopic E2f3 expression (Supplementary Fig. 4 ).

Although a high percentage of Galectin-9+ tumour cells and a high percentage of Foxp3+ lymphocytes in the tumour microenvironment were only marginally significant, a low percentage of CD8+ lymphocytes was a significant risk factor for relapse-free survival and overall survival.

Similarly, the associations between PAPP-A2 concentration and haemoglobin concentration or haematocrit were borderline significant (p-value for difference = 0.05 and 0.07, respectively) hinting that these associations might be found in women but not in men.

Both mabs also showed a trend towards a higher motor subscore compared to controls (Fig. 5A ).

NO 3 – N was significantly higher in the plots after two years of arable cropping (11.3 μg g −1 ) than under continuous set aside (3.7 μg g −1 ) while plots under one year of arable cropping showed a trend for more NO 3 – N, (7.5 μg g −1 ), there was no depth effect.

Mine derived S, Ni and Zn exhibit an increasing trend beginning at around 1.25–1.5 cm, which can be used to strengthen the age-depth model and to pinpoint the approximate depth of the beginning of the mining activities (2008).

The vertical trend in the τ cr of the sediment cores in the upper most several metres was generally non-significant, although a slight trend of increase with depth was found in a few cores (Fig. 5 ).

Lachnospiraceae group was highly significant in secretor children (Welch’s t -test, q = <0.001) within Finnish cohort (Supplementary Fig.

The present results indicate that the root biomass exhibited a decreasing trend, when the NaCl concentration in solutions increased 9 .

Plant functional type was a marginally significant factor determining the relative contribution of groundwater; tree and shrub species took up more groundwater than herbaceous species (Fig. 3A ).

In this regard, whereas a study did not find any polymorphism associated with the expression of PTPN22 splice forms in peripheral blood cells of RA patients 8 , a possible trend for association between PTPN22 rs2488457 SNP and PTPN22 gene expression was described in RA patients from China 12 .

Despite little effect on diversity, there was a highly significant loss of specific bacterial taxa with antimycobacterial treatment (i.e., the number of unique OTUs).

2 , the annual mean size of 20+ mm hailstones displayed a decreasing trend of 1.7 mm per decade, significant at 99% level.

Two-sided P values less than 5% were considered statistically significant and P values less than 10% were considered of borderline significance.

In the present study, we examined the effects of HLA polymorphisms on the development of PBC and demonstrated that multiple HLA alleles show highly significant genome wide-association signals for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the HLA region.

Three hundred and five nominally significant association signals were distributed from the HLA-A to HLA-DP loci in accordance with the results of the HLA association analysis (Fig. 1A ).

At 15 DAT, the tested three protective enzymes in herbicide treatment showed a decreasing trend compared to the control except CAT in Zhangza 5.

A clear trend of a and b for changes of f can’t be identified at this stage.

These components of water storage show a small trend, ranging from −1.7 to 1.7 mm yr −1 over the James Bay hydroelectric project and its adjacent areas.

The three most recent shifts are associated with a positive trend that culminates in the most positive short term shift in stalagmite δ 18 O at 23.24 ka BP, preceding the growth hiatus mentioned above (Fig. 2 ).

A decreasing trend is seen in the two fitted lines indicating that the MIPS decrease is simultaneous with the decrease in the CSF volume.
