“an increasing trend”

16 Consistent with our previous findings, 17 , 18 the positive rate of SEPT9 and NPY MetctDNA% decreased gradually following preoperative chemotherapy, hepatectomy, and postoperative chemotherapy, while an increasing trend was observed in the presence of disease progression.

18 , 37 A randomized controlled trial in postmenopausal women also showed an increasing trend in the incidence of cardiovascular events with calcium supplementation. 38 Therefore, the specific dosage of dietary calcium intake and the health status of the study population may influence the association between dietary calcium intake and CVD or severe AAC.

There has been an increasing trend since then, until 2012, when a decrease started and has continued since then.

Our previous findings have reported an increasing trend toward PD-1+CD4+ T cells in PB in AML. 8 Interestingly, a higher percentage of PD-1+IFN-γ+CD4+ T cells was found, indicating that PD-1/PD-L1 pathways may impact CD4+ T cell function through the tumor-infiltrating inflammatory cytokines IFN-γ. 33 Further comparative analysis of different patterns of PD-1 and Tim-3 on IFN-γ+ T cells found that PD-1 and Tim-3-mediated T cell exhaustion were principally involved in Th1 rather than Tc1, with Tim-3 mainly in the form of co-expression with PD-1.

Participants exhibited an increasing trend in BCI accuracy in a bar task, reaching better-than-random performance.

In Chengdu, the age-specific rates of HR-HPV infection demonstrated an increasing trend with age, with a rapid increase in the prevalence of HPV among women older than 50 years old, with the highest prevalence in the 60–64 age group.

When the dosage of the modifier is less than 20 g/kg, the dehydrogenase activity of grass roots shows an increasing trend, and the malondialdehyde content show a decreasing trend.

There was an increasing trend with severe lymphoedema cases (2.5) reporting a higher average number of acute attacks than cases with moderate (2.1) or mild (1.4) lymphoedema ( Fig 4B ).

A linear fitting of the last 32 years’ ‘Aptness Index’ describes an increasing trend that is related to temperature increases in Europe, documented by regional climate modelling applications (e.g.

Furthermore, pathway enrichment analysis indicated that alterations in amino acid metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and Pan and CoA biosynthesis were associated with the development of DR 38 ; moreover, aspartate, glutamine, and Pan were the key factors related to the differential enrichment of these pathways, and Pan level in the vitreous cavity showed an increasing trend.

Over the last few years, there has been an increasing trend towards undertaking lamellar keratoplasties (e.g., deep anterior lamellar and endothelial keratoplasties) as a result of the associated potential benefits, amongst these is the post-operative maintenance of globe integrity.

This study showed that Scr showed an increasing trend after feeding by different EF, Bun significantly increased in RMEF groups, and Bun significantly decreased in the PMEF group.

The results showed that concentrations were on average higher in boys than in girls (66.3 vs 60.6 nmol/L), with an increasing trend as age increased in both sex classes.

Blood immune and oxidative stress indices showed no significant difference between the different doses of inositol, but IL-10, and superoxide varied after inositol supplementation and showed an increasing trend with the increasing days of treatment ( Table 4 ).

The thermal characteristics of wild banana seed powder, such as thermal conductivity (0.16 to 0.20 Wm −1 K −1 ) and volumetric specific heat (0.58 to 0.99 MJm −3 K −1 ), demonstrated an increasing trend as the moisture content increased.

The prevalence rate decreased most of the time, but an increasing trend was observed in 2008–15 (APC = 0.07%).

In contrast to MOR and MOE, the IBS showed an increasing trend with higher chitosan content in the composites.

As time went by, the particles with an average diameter exceeding 500 nm gradually increased, and their particle size distribution also showed an increasing trend.

The testing time required for the TMT-B also showed an increasing trend as the PVH grade increased.

For example, in our bibliometric study of chiropractic case reports, we found an increasing trend in studies describing the diagnosis of vascular disorders.

In conclusion, despite the availability of many therapeutical options, there was an increasing trend of racial disparity in treatment utilization.

10 , 47 The incidence of proximal adenomas and cancers also shows an increasing trend with age. 48 Furthermore, compared with men, women appear to have a higher proportion of advanced adenoma and cancer in the proximal colon. 32 , 33 Overall, our assumptions likely entailed overestimation of the benefit of colonoscopy screening and hence provide an upper limit of what may be achieved with colonoscopy compared with sigmoidoscopy.

However, in the more recent period, there was an increasing trend of resistance, particularly for third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins and quinolones.

In the VIM+CD8+T_cell-C0 cluster, both exhausted T cells and cytotoxic T cells showed an increasing trend.

After 4 days of coculture, the number of hepatocytes showed an increasing trend in P1 and P2 hydrogels.
