Excerpts

Our evaluation of mRNA expression in the colons of mice treated with α-IL-25 showed a trend toward increased inflammatory cytokines in the Th17 pathway ( il-17a, il-22, and il-23p19 ).

The results indicated that after the first two stimulations, there is a decreasing trend in the proportion of good responders and in the number of oocytes retrieved with increasing times of ovarian stimulations.

A clear trend was apparent among amino acid residues having aliphatic and aromatic side chains ( Table 4 ).

Separate from tests for gene-environment interactions, time spent outdoors itself was not associated with myopia in 3 of the 5 cross-sectional studies (GZT, STARS, and TEDS) and the association was of borderline significance in another (TEDS).

However, for attempted suicide, we identified depression, but not anxiety, to be a marginally significant factor.

Conclusions In summary, the MD simulation results presented in this paper show that the proposed RCNT-MF device provides a distinctly significant tool in reverse osmosis desalination comparing to the current CNT desalination device 50 .

Though a very little fraction of ZA was released by the material over 7-days, the cytotoxicity (A549 cells) caused by the released fraction had a decreasing trend with time as seen in Fig. 1D .

P -values were set at 0.05 ( P < 0.05) for significant difference, and 0.01 (P < 0.01) for highly significant difference.

In addition, the radial arm water maze task also showed a trend of cognitive decline for GAP mice, though not statistically significant because the WT group had a rather large standard deviation (not shown).

The previous studies 25 26 suggested an increasing trend of SSTs over the tropical Indian Ocean during the recent half-century.

There were no significant differences between WT and PD-1KO mice although the latter group showed a trend for fewer antibody-secreting LLPC ( Fig. 1c ).

Also, when analysing the latitude, after the inclusion of 10 PCs, the slope is only borderline significant.

Instead of that, if the latitude heritability drops to 68% after inclusion of the first two PCs, adding more PCs only results in a slow decrease, and the heritability remains highly significant.

34 illustrated that an increase in the DO level resulted in an increase in the total bound EPS, and there was an increasing trend in protein and total soluble EPS content with the thermophilic high DO condition.

Remarkably, AglaPBP2 was expressed at a 200-fold higher level in antennae than in other tissues, and these differences were statistically highly significant.

Among order 3–10 which constituted the majority of the top one-fifth of clones non-carriers had order 3, 4, 5, and 10 with positive shifts but carriers had only order 9 with such a positive trend ( Fig. 4C ).

3C ) through the levels show a clear trend.

In the removing speed range of 50–1000 mm/min, the sample plug volume reflected by the peak area, shows a slight decreasing trend with the increase of the removing speed, and correspondingly the separation efficiency (plate number) shows an increasing trend with the removing speed and reaches the highest level at 1000 mm/min.

However, for several glycans nominally significant associations were obtained.

13 also showed a clear trend for an increased BCFA concentration in AN patients, albeit not statistically significant and probably due to their small sample size.

In contrast, with carboplatin chemotherapy, there is an increasing trend of nodular disruption starting from the day of treatment (surface-area-to-volume ratio of ~0.085) to four days post-treatment (surface-area-to-volume ratio of ~0.13) 23 .

For the shorter period 1957–2013, from which data on atmospheric pressure are available from several meteorological stations, there was a highly significant positive correlation between mean atmospheric pressure in June from the four Norwegian cities Kristiansand, Bergen, Oslo and Trondheim ( Table 2 and Fig. 3 ).

The total concentrations, fluxes and sedimentation rates of Cd in the sediment core showed large fluctuations from 1943 to 2013, generally showing an increasing trend.

The strong tACS condition showed a trend for the same effect (eyes open > eyes closed; F(1, 16) = 4.21, p FDR < 0.100).

Glucose shows decreasing trend but an increasing trend for yeast extract.
