“a decreasing trend”

A decreasing trend observed for the milk and alternatives HEI subscore may partially explain the observed decrease in vitamin D since most of these foods are fortified with vitamin D.

Overall, there was a dose-response relationship and a decreasing trend on the risk of death existed as the doses or durations of corticosteroid treatment increased.

Immunofluorescence assay showed a decreasing trend of La protein in the hepatocytes after administration, especially in the nucleus; besides, there may be a tendency of protein exchange between hepatocytes and immune cells (Figure 6 ).

It was also associated with a change in direction of the slope, from a decreasing trend of −0.8 (95% CI, −0.9 to −0.6) incidence cases per 100 000 person‐months before the policy, to a constant trend of +0.1 (95% CI, −0.1 to 0.2) after the reimbursement policy was implemented (Table 1 and Figure 3 ).

15 In addition, in melatonin‐treated perimenopausal women, the ratio of bone resorption marker:formation marker exhibited a decreasing trend. 16 The results indicate that treatment with melatonin is a superior method for suppressing osteoclast activity under microgravity conditions, in addition to on the ground.

States with a decreasing trend included 7 in the Northeast (Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey and Rhode Island), one in the Southeast (Virginia), and one in the upper Midwest (Wisconsin) (Table 1 ).

Tiotropium Treatment Attenuated Chronic Airway Inflammation and Airway Remodeling After tiotropium treatment, the total number of inflammatory cells in BALF of asthmatic mice (35.92 ± 9.05 × 10 4 ) showed a decreasing trend without statistical significance (27.0 ± 3.97 × 10 4 ) ( Table 1 ).

Birth cohorts exhibited a decreasing trend in the incidence among women who were born after 1935 and men after 1940.

Moreover, Andrukhov et al ( 24 ) determined that NO levels in saliva and serum reflected a decreasing trend compared with the normal control group.

Although, our analysis found that there was a decreasing trend in retention rates from 6 weeks after birth until 18 months after birth in both intervention and control arms, the outcome was significantly better for the participants in the intervention arm.

Within the bacteriome, there was an increasing trend in α-diversity along the GI tract from the stomach to the colon, with highest α-diversity found in the feces, coupled with a decreasing trend in dispersion (β-diversity) among the organs ( Figure 1A and Supplementary Tables S3 , S4 ).

Our results show an increasing trend in the incidence of type 2 CUP and a decreasing trend in the incidence of classic CUP (type 1).

9 Despite methodological concerns, the ESPAC‐1 trial was influential and partly accounted for a decreasing trend in utilization of adjuvant radiation in the US. 10 , 11 At present, adjuvant radiation is used selectively in patients that are thought to be at high risk for locoregional failure (ie, margin and/or node positivity).

Curiously, these results suggest a decreasing trend in the mean of PCV2 copies as we move away from the weaning areas towards other areas without direct contact with the animals (Fig. 1 ).

In the phagocytosis assay, TREM2 + DAP12 cells showed a decreasing trend in phagocytic activity after APOE2 and APOE4 treatment ( Figure 5D ).

At present, although there are no specific studies on TNM stage and metastasis of melanoma and miR-489 and miR-21, there are reports on miRNAs and melanoma, which suggest that the expression of miRNA-125b detected by qRT-PCR technology shows a decreasing trend in serum of melanoma patients.

The absolute concentration of tCr also demonstrated a time × treatment interaction ( p = 0.06), where patients receiving ocrelizumab exhibited stable levels over time while those receiving interferon beta-1a experienced an increase after 48 weeks of treatment. There was also a time × treatment interaction for mI ( p = 0.06), arising from a decreasing trend in the ocrelizumab group and increasing trend in the interferon beta-1a group over 96 weeks.

The completeness showed a decreasing trend from the years 2004–2008 (90%) to 2013–2016 (86%) but this was not significant ( p = 0.07).

Studies on time trends in stroke incidence from the last decades have shown a decreasing trend in incidence in high-income countries, and the present study confirms that this trend has continued since 2000.

Results: Considering 224 units of analysis, 21 (9.4%) showed a decreasing trend, 108 (48.2%) were stable, and 95 (42.4%) showed an increasing trend.

Relationships between water content ratio and dry mass For most of the components, the tree sizes (DBH, H, and dry mass components) showed a decreasing trend with the increase of water content ratio component for the two conifers ( Figs. 6 and 7 ).

To answer these questions, we consider three candidate trend functions: an increasing trend, a decreasing trend, and no change, and we compare linear and non-linear trends and assess the sensitivity of the results to this choice. 3.

Through the measures implemented in the subsequent 10 years, steady changes were achieved, including a decrease in the age-adjusted rate of new dialysis introduction; however, the number of patients receiving dialysis has not yet shown a decreasing trend.

Subsequently, anthropogenic stimulation of the production of STBR towards the end of the aquatic continuum and right before the coastal environment may contribute to explaining the lack of a decreasing trend in STBR at river mouths (Fig. 1 ).
