Importantly, the level of serum VLDL was strikingly increased in the PM group, accompanied by a decreasing trend in the liver, indicating the influx of VLDLs from hepatocytes to serum ( Figure 1F, H ).

Although we could only find a limited number of observational studies linking serum Vit D with presence or absence of tinnitus ( n = 3, with four cohorts, with one including 300 out of 468 individuals), the results emerged from of our meta-analysis reveal that serum Vit D levels displayed a decreasing trend in all such studies in patients with tinnitus compared to those without ( Figure 1 ).

According to the chemical composition of samples collected along the Niangqu main channel (N06, N09, N14, N20, and N23), Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ show a decreasing trend from upstream to downstream.

Meanwhile, as the section flow increases to a certain threshold, the section speed shows a decreasing trend, leading to an increase in section travel time.

Most LPCs, PCs, LPEs, and PCs were enriched in cluster 1 and 3, denoted by light and deep green, respectively, exhibiting a decreasing trend.

However, the changes in these two indices did not reach statistical significance but displayed a decreasing trend in the T1D + NaB group compared with the T1D group (Fig. 3 F, G).

However, although the percentage of stage IV patients remained at a very low level, its increasing trend followed by a decreasing trend was also noteworthy in our study.

As the measurement points gradually approached the asphalt mastic part from the EP part, the resistance to deformation of the samples showed a decreasing trend, followed by an increasing trend.

However, there was a decreasing trend for the loss modulus for the virgin blends.

The simulation model predicted a decreasing trend in the number of students graduating from high school, which suggests that maintaining current policies will result in a greater link of students to higher education.

The colony count for ZS-3-GFP in the leaves showed a decreasing trend and was 0.8 × 10 2 cfu/g at 30 d ( Figure 6 a).

Although the chlorophyll a/chlorophyll b ratio in colonized leaves showed a decreasing trend compared with the control, it did not reach statistical significance.

The results showed (1) a decreasing trend for coastal sustainable development between 2010 and 2015 and a rapid increasing trend between 2015 and 2020; (2) spatially varied CSD, with higher levels in Europe and Southeast Asia and lower levels in South and West Asia and North Africa; and (3) a strong influence on CSD by a combination of economic and social factors and relatively little influence by natural factors.

Compared with M0, seed germination was not significantly affected at 100 Gy (84.3%), 150 Gy (85.2%), and 200Gy (63.8%); however, a decreasing trend was observed ( Figure 6 ; Table 2 ).

After curtilage conversion, pH presented a decreasing trend ( S3 Fig ), but it remained alkaline with values as follows: CS (9.04) > CCS (8.91) > CGS (8.59) > grassland (8.28) > cropland (8.17).

Moreover, the protein expression of cyclin D1 and cyclin E1 showed a decreasing trend (Figure 6 E, F).

When Q median > 0, the climate or NDVI time series has an increasing trend, whereas when Q median < 0, a decreasing trend is indicated.

As observed, the coefficient of compressibility a of mixed soil samples of loess and burnt rock particles showed a decreasing trend with the increase of burnt rock particle content, suggesting that as the content of burnt rock particles increased, the coefficient of compressibility a of mixed soil samples of loess and burnt rock particles decreases gradually.

TGF-β1 levels showed a decreasing trend with increasing body weight in patients with MDD, though this was not significant (p = 0.299).

Additionally, we observed a decreasing trend in the rhythmicity ratio under the LL condition.

Although the SE showed a decreasing trend after different durability tests, they all remained above 30 dB at the same time in the whole X band.
