“an increasing trend”

In addition, after the treatment with QC, QSC, and A 2 B 2 C 3 group, although the MDA level showed a decreasing trend, the three indicators of T-SOD, GSH, and GST showed an increasing trend, there was no obvious difference ( p < 0.05).

Among the individual VFAs, acetate decreased significantly by 5.66% (p < 0.01), whereas propionate showed an increasing trend (p > 0.05).

Notably, MDA levels were significantly lower, while SOD, T-AOC, and CAT activities were significantly higher ( P < 0.05), and GSH-Px levels showed an increasing trend in the Pue group ( P > 0.05; Fig. 2 F).

Moreover, in chicken BMSCs, miR-26a-5p overexpression statistically decreased MDFIC mRNA levels ( P < 0.05), whereas miR-26a-5p inhibition showed an increasing trend that did not reach statistical significance ( P > 0.05; Fig. 6 C,D).

The expression of and arginase 1 (Arg1) in the brain tissues of the IESS+NS group and IESS group was significantly lower than that in the BC and NC groups; compared with the IESS+NS group and IESS group, ACTH intervention showed an increasing trend in Arg1 expression with no statistical significance ( P >0.05), while anti-HMGB1 and the combination of ACTH and anti-HMGB1 significantly increased Arg1 expression, with the combination intervention exerting the best effect.

Despite an increasing trend in body weight (25.28 vs. 26.54 kg; p > 0.05) and feed intake (27.62 vs. 29.01 kg; p > 0.05) in piglets fed MSP, still, weaning pigs fed with MSP had significantly improved ADG (455.23 vs. 491.02 g/d; p < 0.05).

There was also an increasing trend of utilizing a single antibiotic for these patients ( P < .05).

The hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining demonstrated that eosinophil counts showed an increasing trend from mild to moderate OSA ( p < 0.05) (Fig. 1B,C ); however, notably, a decrease was observed in the severe OSA group compared to the moderate group ( p < 0.05) (Fig. 1C ).

The total collagen and heat-insoluble collagen in the muscle of the EU group also showed an increasing trend ( p > 0.05). 3.4.

With the increase in voriconazole concentration, C Tac , C/D, and CDW showed an increasing trend ( p < 0.05).

Although the Chl-a content showed an increasing trend with higher moisture levels, the differences among treatments were not statistically significant ( p > 0.05). 2.2.2.

At inclusion, multi-cytokine analysis revealed an increasing trend of serum RANTES, plasma interleukin- (IL-) 4 and IL-6 levels compared to baseline ( p > 0.05 for all differences).

Sodium (Na) shows an increasing trend across the site classification gradient, with concentrations rising from 497 ± 38 mg/kg in non-polluted sites to 721 ± 85 mg/kg in polluted areas ( p < 0.05).

aureus, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Klebsiella pneumoniae and other pathogenic bacteria represented an increasing trend ( P < 0.05), whereas Streptococcus, Enterococci and P. aeruginosa represented declining trends ( P < 0.05).

Although the proportion of rational duration of antibiotic prophylaxis showed an increasing trend during the intervention phase (0.10; p<0.05), the difference was not statistically significant ( figure 2E , table 2 ).

Conversely, hepatosomatic index (HSI), viscerosomatic index (VSI), condition factor, hepatic lipid and glycogen contents, muscle lipid content, serum triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol contents, as well as hepatic carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT-1) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activities, showed an increasing trend ( p < 0.05).

During the COVID-19 infection period, the incidence of fetal laterality disorders showed an increasing trend from 2020 to 2024 ( P < 0.05).

Total cholesterol and triglycerides increased significantly (Pearson R=0.92 and 0.93; P<0.05), while low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) demonstrated an increasing trend (R=0.87, P=0.050).

The results indicated that while diabetes, severe stenosis (≥70%), and LDL-C levels showed an increasing trend in recurrence risk across all stenosis locations, the extent of their impact varied significantly by location (all heterogeneity tests P >.05) (Table 6 ).

With increasing severity of liver fibrosis, PLT levels progressively decreased ( P < .01), while MPV and PDW levels showed an increasing trend (both P < .05; Table 2 ).
