Excerpts

A non-linear regression curve depicted a decreasing trend of LD decay with an increase in the physical distance (kb) in the six populations.

The phase difference between two populations was highly significant ( P Mann-Whitney U test = 1.61 × 10 −12 ).

This would still reduce CSS and CNTBC with more than 30% ( T = 84), with only a marginally non-significant reduction in sensitivity (two additionally missed TB cases).

In accordance with several previous studies 27 , 28 , 29 , the magnitude of increased expression of the 300 miR-124 target genes following sponge expression was modest but highly significant (fold change 1.06+/− 0.015 SEM, Fig. 4D ).

However, treatment arm was not a significant prognostic factor for 2- and 3-year D-FFS or LR-FFS, though treatment arm had a marginally significant effect on these outcomes ( Table 2 ).

In particular, samples showed a decreasing trend in the VEGF activity over time, thus confirming an effective VEGF release (see Supplementary Information , Figure S3 ).

An evident trend toward higher OPN expression with the deeper tumor invasion was identified, though there was no statistically significant difference.

CXCL12 attracted the highest number of all three progenitor subsets inducing a highly significant response compared to the migration in absence of any chemokine at all times of fetal liver development tested in our experiments, both CLP and MP as well as for the lympho-myeloid fLMPP cells ( Fig. 5a ).

The TDT results showed a marginally significant association between TS and SNP rs4979356 and rs4979357.

Although transaminase increases were common with trabectedin, they followed a predictable pattern with a peak elevation at days 5–7 and a return to grade ≤1 at approximately day 15 of each cycle, and with a clear trend towards reduction with subsequent cycles ( Fig. 4 ) 10 , 17 .

All three doses of 14- O -acetylneoline conferred highly significant protection against pilorerection ( Fig. 2c ) and mobility ( Fig. 2d ) compared to the TNBS-only group.

There was an increasing trend regarding the incident age of ESRD(mean age 55.0 in 1999 and 59.5 in 2010; p value for trend: 0.01) and the percentage of patients choosing PD as the dialysis modality among the patients with PCKD (4.2% in 1999 and 10.4% in 2010, p value for trend: 0.02)during 1999 to 2010.

However, we must admit that the percentage of CXCR4 + cells after Ex-4 treatment (20nM) is not very high (18.46 ± 1.33%), although there was an obvious trend toward an increase after Ex-4 incubation.

The expression of Aβ was significantly increased after 4 weeks of exposure to noise, with an increasing trend that persisted up to 7 days after the cessation of exposure ( Fig. 1A,B ).

An Italian case-control study found a marginally significant excess of homozygosity for the rs890 29 .

Interestingly, a high abundance of Alphaproteobacteria was captured at B0, with a decreasing trend along the water column of station B.

rs11200638 ( HTRA1 ) and rs2230199 ( C3 ) approached significance but did not meet the Bonferroni corrected P value threshold.

2a,b ) suggests that a decreasing trend over the next 30 years is possible.

Additionally, note that the corrosion rate (3 g/L) show an increasing trend from 4 h to 6 h, which can be attributed to the existence of small amount of gluconic acid originated from glucose.

However, there was a significant trend that more cells remained on the gap between the LN lines by increasing the length of spacing, presumably due to the limited migratory capacity of cells towards LN stripes during the given time overall.

In the present study, VEGF, a driving angiogenic factor, showed a trend to reduced transcript levels.

Only 1 SNP, IL1A rs1800587, showed a marginally significant association with GO in allelic (T vs.

2b ), but this difference was only marginally significant ( Table 1 ).

Since blood insulin levels were high in all human obese subjects as compared to lean subjects and showed a highly significant positive correlation, our suggested hypothesis that blood insulin concentrations increase with the increase of body fat mass is indeed true.

There may be significant differences between the velocity profile modeled for Equation (2) and that of the non-Newtonian MWCNT/PDMS paste by shear-thinning phenomenon 35 .
