“showed a trend”

Our recent study showed a trend of increase in MMP-1 expression in periodontal tissues across patients with neither diabetes nor periodontal disease, patients with periodontal disease alone, and patients with both diseases ( 10 ).

DRB1*13 showed a trend of risk association in combined ethnic population (OR = 1.62), which was stronger in non-Caucasians (OR = 2.61) (Table 3 ).

PET measurements performed by defining "hot spot" regions of interest (ROIs) comprising 4 contiguous pixels with the highest radioactivity concentration showed a trend towards higher SUVs when the ROIs were outlined in the MVW-PC1 component than in the summed images.

Interestingly, groups 3 and 4 showed a trend for worse disease free and overall survival, although it did not reach statistical significance (p = 0,10 and p = 0,08 respectively) (data not shown).

TNF-α expression showed a trend to increase in infected placentas and the balance of the immuno-modulatory molecules IL-12 and IL-10 expression denoted an anti-inflammatory response in the course of the placenta malaria pathogenesis ( Figure 3C ).

Accuracy, represented relative to isometric strength, showed a trend towards improvement for both bulb positions across the course of treatment ( Figures 13 and 14 ).

The village comparison showed a trend of decreasing number of malaria infections with increasing bed net level, confirming that the nets actually do have an impact.

In our periampullary adenocarcinoma subgroup analysis, females had a lower incidence of PF and these results showed a trend as an independent predictor of PF on multivariate analysis.

If anything, Mclk1 +/- female mice in the aging experiment that were euthanized due to impending death showed a trend of slightly less aortic atherosclerosis than their wild-type controls.

Furthermore, a multivariate model corrected for common confounders showed a trend towards an association between the diagnosis of PH and lower BMC.

Intraepithelial CD4+ cells showed a trend towards increased DSS, but this was not statistically significant ( Fig. 4C ).

Of interest, our prespecified subgroup analyses showed a trend toward decreased risk associated with folic acid/vitamins B6 and B12 among women with a family history of diabetes, but these findings may have been due to chance and need to be confirmed in future investigations.

Our current results showed a trend of this conservative gait strategy adopted during level walking immediately after the concussion.

Additional analysis of the data presented in Table 2 showed a trend toward slightly decreased NAA/Cho and NAA/Cr ratios in the putamen, whereas Cho/Cr was within the normal range.

In a 4-week clinical trial, treatment with zileuton showed a trend towards clinical improvement, but the duration of the study was not adequate to assess efficacy [ 53 ].

Among females, sporadic cases showed a trend toward an older mean age of onset compared with familial cases by about half a year, but this did not reach significance ( t = 1.838, df = 1,838, P = 0.033).

MIH at 0.2, 2, and 5 nM showed a trend of dose dependent effect, where VtG mRNA levels dropped to 62%, 62%, and 51% of the control, respectively (Fig. 2B ).

In our study, on multivariate analysis, ER negative tumors were associated with higher pCR rates, and poorly differentiated tumors showed a trend for higher pCR rates.

Novel Risk Factors Assessed Immediately before a New Event Neurological Abnormalities in motor nerve conduction in the assessment prior to a new NFI event showed a trend across the nerves tested to predict the event and the effect of abnormalities in sensory nerve conduction was similar but stronger than that for motor nerve conduction.

Table 4 showed a trend (but not significant) for urinary ratio of 6β-OHC/C in patients with Child B class of liver cirrhosis to elevate in the presence of cholestasis compared with control subjects.

Analysis of CD107a and CD127 in PBMCs from patients with breast cancer showed a trend, but not statistically solid differences, towards lower values of IL-7R expression on CD4+CD107a+ T-cells [27] .

The reproduction numbers showed a trend similar to the effective contact rates, with a clearly decreasing trend over time, suggesting that the epidemic was under control as early as mid-March (see Figure in Text S3 ).

In contrast to prediction, across these common sites, HIF-2α showed a trend to greater maximum enrichment than HIF-1α ( Fig. 4 ).

PGE 2 concentration in culture media at day 7 was significantly increased by IL-1 β and OSM and treatment with both tepoxalin and its metabolite showed a trend towards dose-dependent reduction of PGE 2 production.

This was not observed in Fto I367F mice although homozygotes showed a trend to towards reduced food intake on both standard and high-fat diets.
