“showed a trend”

QPCR in grafts and spleens from Cys treated mice at POD7 validated the preferential inhibition of Th1 responses by Cys seen in reduced graft IFN-y (p = 0.0101) and STAT4 (p = 0.0091) expression, whereas IL17A was not affected by Cys (p = 0.2180) but even showed a trend towards higher expression.

However, some specimens from DD patients showed a trend toward an increased thickness of the smooth muscle layer.

The fasting blood glucose levels showed a trend toward being higher in obese than in lean Ossabaw minipigs and a similar trend was observed in blood insulin levels in obese (34.7 pmol l −1 ) and in lean (15 pmol l −1 ) Ossabaw minipigs ( Table 1 ).

Th2 specific interleukins, IL-10 and IL-5, correspondingly showed a trend towards increase in the supernatant of the imatinib-treated rats spleenocytes ( Fig. 3 G–H).

The prevalence of anti-HBs showed a trend similar to the prevalence of HBsAg in the two island groups, with prevalences of 59.1% and 54.8% in the Zhoushan and Yuhuan groups, respectively.

Two additional SRF targets ( Ctgf and Egr1 ) showed a trend towards decreased expression in the MCKCUG-BP1 heart, but did not reach statistical significance.

When compared with men with high SES, those with low SES were more likely to receive ICU treatment for at least 5 days and showed a trend for a lower number of visits from family.

In fact, both control and docetaxel treatment groups showed a trend of decreasing body weight after 14 days of cancer cells inoculation, potentially due to high tumor burden and toxicity of docetaxel, respectively ( Figure 4B ).

The six-gene biomarker showed a trend for stage IB patients, successfully stratified stage II patients, and failed for stage III patients (Additional file 5b-d ; Table S3 in Additional file 1 ).

As the EF post-MI in the MSC group showed a trend towards being higher than the EF in the other groups, we evaluated the change in EF within each group (the difference in EF at sacrifice relative to the EF post-MI), and compared this across groups.

Left ventricular structural indices showed a trend toward improvement in septal thickness in the IDCM patients.

MMP-3/9 secretion at low SFN concentration showed a trend of downregulation, which did not reach significance in our model (Figure 3A and 3B ).

Similarly, all three markers showed a trend towards a negative correlation with CI - high chronicity indices denote late-stage fibrosis, minimal inflammation and irreversible damage to the kidney, all of which bode poorly even with treatment.

Indeed, BALB/c MSCs clearly exacerbated disease both biochemically and clinically while FVB MSCs showed a trend towards increased disease severity with associated increases in host IL-1β production.

Multiple logistic regression modeling controlling for surgical group and pre-operative AP activity showed a trend towards increased odds of poor outcome for each 10 U/L decrease in AP activity on POD1 (Table 5 ).

This 48 patient, multicenter, double-masked, randomized trial studied 3 dose levels of bevasiranib, and showed a trend of decrease in macular thickness between weeks 8 and 12.

Differences in the mRNA levels of total RBCS and RBCL among these leaf positions showed a trend similar to those in synthesis of the corresponding subunits ( Fig. 2A , B ).

In agreement with the findings in Nrf2 −/− : ob / ob mice, Nrf2 (f) −/− : ob / ob mice fed a chow diet showed a trend toward decreased BW ( Fig. 3 B ) and significantly reduced WAT mass ( Fig. 3 C ).

Triglycerides showed a trend to be higher, and HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) was ∼30% lower in KPD.

A single study, PEPCAD II ISR, that compared DCB with a DES (Taxus libertē), showed a trend in favour of DCB but did not achieve statistical significance for a reduction in clinical TLR [ 23 ].

NSE-apoE4 mice showed a trend toward decreased total dendrite length in the CA1 ( Fig. 1D ) compared to NSE-apoE3 mice, and basal NSE-apoE4 dendrites were significantly shorter than basal NSE-apoE3 dendrites ( Fig. 1E ).

Social functioning and information/communication showed a trend for a correlation, but this did not reach significance ( r = 0.366, P = 0.051).

Urinary concentrations of acylcarnitines corresponding to the acyl-CoA products of BCKDC were all markedly elevated in the 24-h urine samples of obese rats when corrected for creatinine, and a number of their downstream metabolites were also elevated or showed a trend for increase ( Fig. 4 , Table 5 ).

[ 28 ], where they evaluated the balance of chronic backache patients using the Balance Master system (NeuroCom, Clackamas, OR, USA) our study showed a trend of the patients deviating toward the painless side; the right back pain group and the left back pain group showed left deviation and right deviation, respectively.

Effect of Cd exposure on glucose stimulated insulin secretion in MIN6 cells In static incubation experiments, exposure of MIN6 cells to CdCl 2 concentrations of 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 μmol/L for 48 h only showed a trend toward a concentration dependent decrease in glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) with GSIS ratios of 5.6 ± 0.8, 2.8 ± 1.0 and 1.4 ± 0.1, respectively, compared with 5.6 ± 0.6 in the control (p < 0.05 for 1.0 μmol/L CdCl 2 compared with control, Fig. 3A ).
