“a slight trend”

There was a slight trend in the CoRL number increasing in the JG after two weeks of kidney injury, however these changes were not significant (Fig. 1e ).

with MK1775 monotherapy, there are no significant changes in ADC or ADC distribution, although there is a slight trend to higher values.

However, there was a slight trend towards decreased bacterial load at 4 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours in both the LPS and PBS groups [ Figure 1E ].

We observed a slight trend down in LV titers (HEK293T) for R 3-X variants when using CMV(3G) LV genome cassettes ( Figure 1 E).

However, a slight trend is observed, indicating that the pyramid-shaped microneedles exhibit marginally greater height compared to conical ones.

However, additional prompting resulted in a slight trend toward less accuracy, with 2 responses below the 2-3 (accurate to somewhat accurate) range.

The model based on SCS only showed a strong peak in probability for records within 1 day of acute mastitis ( Figure 4 c), and a slight trend toward higher probabilities for records closer to diagnosis with chronic mastitis ( Figure 4 d).

For group W10 there is a slight trend to improvement during the 10 sessions, with a trend from linear fit of −0.29°/session.

In our study, we found a slight trend towards more patients undergoing semi-elective sigmoidectomy during the same admission, with rates increasing from 2.0% to 7.1% to 7.9% of the overall population presenting with sigmoid volvulus.

A slight trend of increase in measured green fluorescent signal in the entire image was detected in all conditions by day 3 ( Figure 5(a) ), raising from 28.7 ± 6.9% to 46.9 ± 16.4%, from 28.4 ± 5.2% to 43 ± 3.3%, and from 27.3 ± 7% to 40.9% in 100 H, 75 HM, and 50 HM cultures, respectively (all p > 0.05).

In the figure we see that while there may be a slight trend to decreasing distance to the new CST over the 10–20 days preceding a transition, the variance in distance actually increases as a CST change approaches.

There is a slight trend for higher values in the reservoir compared with the river for H. auroguttatus , whereas no difference in habitats were found for P. maculatus ( Tables 1 , 3 and 5 ).

Although Western blot analysis of the heart homogenates revealed a slight trend toward increased MMP-2 protein content after 1-h cold static storage either with or without DOX preservation solution, they were not statistically significant from that of the unstored group (Fig. 4 b).

Generally, as reflected in the figures, we observed a slight trend of PTEs accumulation in females compared to males.

V-ATPase Inhibition Increases HIF-1α Protein Level, AMPK Activity and Alters Autophagic Flux Consistent with previous work [ 42 ], ConA treatment strongly increased HIF-1α protein in both Panc-1 and BxPC3 cells ( Figure 4 A–C), while only a slight trend in the same direction was seen upon a3 KD ( Figure 4 D–F).

5A and B ; however, there is a slight trend from sharper slopes on the left side of the scatter plots to slower slopes on the right side of the plots across spinal cord levels (blue to green markers) for RF (midline configurations), VL (unilateral configurations) and TA, MG, and SOL (both midline and unilateral configurations).

Indeed, there is a slight trend for structures which do gain in hydrogen bonds to be less stable on average as the number of hydrogen bonds increases above 0.5 per molecule, though this is unlikely to be significant.

Due to the relatively small number of patients available in this single centre study, combined with the short follow- up interval of just two years, only a slight trend towards prolonged "survival" as defined above could be demonstrated.

3A , for both techniques, emulsification and nanoprecipitation, shown a slight trend to decrease the PDI values as increasing the concentration of PLGA.

There was a slight trend towards decreased lactate levels in PCZ-treated samples compared to control in the combined group (154.5 vs 46.7 mlU/ml), but this failed to reach significance in the core (115.0 vs 62.6 mlU/ml, P > .99) and the periphery (194 vs 111.17 mlU/ml, P = .80).

The analysis of the subgroups performed as a function of the HbA1c ratio, shows instead that there is no statistically significant difference between the 2 subgroups of patients with DM (First subgroup range = HbA1c% 6–8%, second subgroup range = HbA1c% < 8), but there is only a slight trend regarding the MBL and PD indices in a pejorative sense for HbA1c% < 8.

Conversely, analyses of ‘Fruit and vegetables’ showed a slight trend towards earlier adoption of new criteria, which allowed higher HSR for this category.

A comparison across layers shows that deamidation values largely overlap, with a slight trend towards lower values (thus poorer preservation) deeper down the stratigraphic sequence.

Although the difference was not statistically significant, the transaxillary approach showed a slight trend toward higher satisfaction.

First, there was a slight trend in favor of higher-income groups in terms of inequity in the use of HCBSs among older adults in China, while middle-income older adults benefited the most from HCBS utilization.
