The study found that after 6 months of exercise intervention, the L1-L5 segments BMD exhibited a decreasing trend, but the results of paired sample t -test showed that the decrease in BMD of each segment was not significant ( p > 0.05).

IHC data displayed a decreasing trend in PD-L1 expression in the control group, the 1 Gy group, the 1 Gy+1 μM group, and the 1 Gy+1 μM+miR-20b-5p group ( P < 0.05, Figure 6(d) ).

For patients in the echocardiogram group and the QuickOpt algorithm group, the LVEFs 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery showed an upward trend over time, while the LVESV, LVEDV, and MRV showed a decreasing trend, without statistically significant difference between the groups ( P > 0.05).

Moreover, most tested soil physicochemical properties showed a decreasing trend from topsoil to the subsoil, whereas soil pH increased ( P < 0.05) with the soil depth, except for the EEGN site ( Table 3 ).

We also observed a decreasing trend of species abundance and species evenness from DM group to DN group; however, the between-group difference in this respect was not statistically significant ( P > 0.05) (Fig. 3 ).

The third most abundant family was that of Myoviridae , exhibiting a decreasing trend ( post hoc Tukey test, p < 0.05) from surface (23% ± 5% relative abundance) to deep waters (14% ± 0.3%, Figure 3A ).

RESULTS In the pulmonary heart disease group, the COPD group, and the control group, the levels of plasma BNP, platelet distribution width (PDW), and mean platelet volume (MPV) showed a decreasing trend ( P < 0.05), while an increasing trend was found in platelet count (PLT) and plateletcrit (PCT) levels among the three groups ( P < 0.05).

PBV values did not vary significantly between protocols A and B at resolution settings of 1, 4 and 10 ( p = 0.10; 0.10; 0.09), while otherwise PBV values displayed a decreasing trend from protocol A to D ( p < 0.05).

Finally, in the old groups, our investigations revealed that p16 exhibited a decreasing trend when comparing the control with the treated cells; in particular, p16 expression was significantly reduced in the fibroblasts treated with both CP ( p = 0.05) and Voghera pepper extracts ( p = 0.02) ( Figure 9 , Panel Z, right) ( Table 7 ). 3.6.

3.6 Relative mRNA expression of muscle growth-related genes With the increases in HPM content in the feed, the expressions of Myf5 , MEF - 2c , MEF - 2a , MyHC , and FST first exhibited an increasing trend followed by a decreasing trend, reaching a maximum in the HPM3 group ( P < 0.05).

In addition, the abdominal fat percentage of broilers in the 3% MLP group was sharply decreased by 29.68% ( p < 0.05), and the abdominal fat percentage of broilers in other treatment groups had a decreasing trend (0.1 < p < 0.05) compared to the control group.

Having an increasing or a decreasing trend (slope of regression line with p-value ≤ 0.05) in these urinary nucleosides after chemotherapy was associated with a > 50% delayed increase in plasma CEA (Fisher's exact test p-value = 0.0275) and a poor survival (two-sample t-test, p-value = 0.0054) (Table 3 ).

However, on average, at the regional scale, a decrease of the total energy supply prevails (on average, ~ 9.0% per decade), with a decreasing trend being statistically significant ( P < 0.05) for about 40.0% of the study area.

There was a decreasing trend (p>0.05) compared with the 80% and 70% energy groups ( Figure 1 ).
