Proteinase K digestion and western blot analysis of brains from prion-infected mice showed PrP Res deposition at terminal disease, with brains from 5 of 6 responder animals appearing to harbor relatively less PrP Res than most non-responders or infected untreated controls, although densitometry revealed these differences to be not quite statistically significant (p = 0.057 and 0.072, respectively, Fig 3B and 3C ).
While the difference in the rate of prosthetic infection between the groups was not quite statistically significant ( p = 0.06; Fisher’s exact test), further exploration of the reasons for the disproportionately high rate of infection in the Charnley group revealed that the mean operating time was longer in the infected group (83 versus 68 min; p = 0.065) and the patients that became infected were significantly older (71.2 versus 65.4 years, p = 0.035) than the patients who did not become infected.
A 200% increase was also observed for claudin-7, though not quite statistically significant (P = 0.06; the lack of statistical significance [P>0.05] was likely due to the relatively small sample size [n = 3 cell layers], and the strong effect that a small sample size has on Student t test results).
Students who liked The Lord of the Rings more but read the factual article showed some evidence of doing better on the exam though it was not quite statistically significant (linear regression coefficient = 0.23, p = 0.06), suggesting that they might be more engaged in general, learned more from our lectures, or were stronger students for some other reason.
We observed, in agreement with the results obtained from the parasite counts in blood, that the parasite burden in the liver appeared to be lower in the ChAd63+MVA group than in the ChAd63 or naive groups, although the differences were not quite statistically significant [mean for ChAd63 = 235,850 relative light unit, ChAd63+MVA = 122,367 relative light unit, 95% CI (−10,197 to 237,164), P = 0.06 by a t -test] ( Figure 2b,c) .
For PCB 138, at 4 dpf, the L1-D1 transition was increased in the 0.3 μM group (0.821 more; p = 0.01) and the 1 μM group (0.68 more; p = 0.04) and decreased in the 10 μM group though not quite statistically significant (0.6 less; p = 0.06) compared to the control group ( Supplementary Figure S17 ).
