In recent years, the combination regimen of gemcitabine and cisplatin (GC) has demonstrated equivalent efficacy as well as lower toxicity, and has become largely the regimen of choice, despite a slight trend toward greater efficacy with MVAC therapy [ 4 ].
A slight trend in favour of better residual hearing preservation in children vs. adults was seen, especially at lower frequencies.
There was a slight trend of improvement in nutritional status.
Nevertheless, there was a slight trend toward improvement of local tumor control in the early phase (from 12 to 36 months after surgery).
A slight trend toward higher weights (less down-weighting) performing better (positive delta performances) than lower weights can be observed.
There is a slight trend that patients with intermediate or high IPSS risk had higher incidence of miR-124-3 high methylation, it did not reach the statistical significance (Table 4 ). miR-124 suppresses cell proliferation in the SKM-1 cell line We first examined the methylation status of miR-124-1, miR-124-2 and miR-124-3 in the SKM-1 cell line, and the results showed that methylation levels significantly decreased after DAC treatment (Fig. 3a ).
Nevertheless, a slight trend was observed between the vehicle and high-dose MTK treatment groups in the latency to first entry in the target quadrant ( Figure 7 H).
There was also a slight trend for higher FSH and PSA blood levels among infertile men compared to fertile men, albeit statistically insignificant. 2.2.
Overall, the average M3C2 distance values suggest a slight trend toward negative deformation in the direction of gravity.
Similarly, LepRb-Socs3-OE mutants showed identical glucose tolerance at 5 weeks of age, and a slight trend toward improved glucose tolerance in older age ( Fig. 8 C and D ).
There is a slight trend towards a greater incidence in males than females (ratio = 1.48) [ 1 ].
Surprisingly, here, we show that the increase in serum Abs is not fully linked to an increase in antigen-specific plasmablasts or GC B cells but just to a slight trend toward total higher cellularity in the medLN.
There was, however, a slight trend for shorter latencies and larger amplitude values in auditory compared to visual studies.
In the NexGen and the other PFC Sigma time-period subgroups, there was a slight trend for higher revision rates in knees with thicker PE inserts.
No significant change in spring and autumn phenology in the British Isles was detected, which is consistent with Mason [43] , who did not find a long-term trend in arrival dates of Barn Swallows between 1942 and 1991, and with Sparks & Carey [34] , who found only a slight trend toward a later arrival over two centuries.
The results concerning the relationship between the triggering mechanisms, such as the snap shoulder release position, and the position of the anterior recess of the subacromial bursa relatively to the bicep tendon showed a moderate negative correlation (rS = −0.372; p = 0.595), indicating a slight trend for the distance to decrease as the triggering mechanisms changed.
While there was a slight trend towards further increased expression in the Rgs2 -/- animals, this was not significant.
Given this observation, concomitant telomere erosion was expected; however, only a slight trend of telomere attrition over culture time was observed, which was less evident than that revealed, by densitometric analysis, in few ASC samples from various anatomical sites [82] .
Even though receiving psychological support at baseline showed a slight trend toward improving secondary outcomes, all support measures (ie, professional support, psychological support from the informal network, and helpfulness of the professional support) generally showed weak correlations with the improvements in secondary outcomes.
While these results do not constitute strong evidence, it suggests a slight trend toward no group difference.
However a slight trend to lateness was seen in LD, but this was not significantly different from wild type R108 ( Figures 7B , C ).
Interim reports on the immunogenicity of an Sf9 (insect cell)-produced RSV F subunit vaccine in human subjects 60 years and older show only a slight trend to better serological responses in alum adjuvanted compared to unadjuvanted groups [ 55 ].
Thus, we have further examined BMI as a trend1 influence in the V1.1 cohort and have identified a slight trend towards higher BMI in declining anti-RBD/S1.
We saw a slight trend towards lower age in CSII-starters overall but a slightly higher age in AID users relative to users of non-AID systems.
HHcy increased both basal and maximal OCR, from 49 ± 8 pmol/min in control cells to 90 ± 12 pmol/min in HHcy treated cell for basal OCR and 70 ± 10 pmol/min to 120 ± 9 pmol/min for maximal OCR, while the ATP-coupled OCR was not altered, although with a slight trend of increase (Fig. 1 C).
