“showed a trend”

Our results showed a trend toward higher GBS carriage in HIV-infected women with CD4 counts >500 cells/mm 3 than in the HIV-uninfected women.

Irrespective of whether the T form affects flowering, all the assays showed a trend that increased copy number was associated with slower induction of expression, consistent with the observed differences in flowering time.

These results are in line with the observation that the patients with non-concordant methylation findings (unmethylated by qMSP and methylated by pyrosequencing) showed a trend towards better survival than patients with unmethylated MGMT promoter by both methods (Figure 1C ).

A histogram of the perceptual duration in the test condition showed a trend of gamma distribution; the histogram could be fitted by a gamma distribution Ga(k, θ) where k = 1.62 and θ = 2,494.9 (Fig. 1 c).

The complete resequencing of the 56 mtDNAs belonging to H5 revealed that AD patients showed a trend towards a higher number of sporadic mutations in tRNA and rRNA genes when compared with controls.

1A , upstaging occurred in 88 of 151 patients (58%) with TDs, and these patients staged by pN category showed a trend of migrating to a higher classification in nTNM staging system.There were significant prognostic differences among patients in the pN1a, pN1b, pN2a, and pN2b subcategories with regard to the pN category ( Fig. 1B , P<0.001).

Embolic protection devices showed a trend towards improvement in attaining STSR, however, neither device category significantly impacted STSR, distal embolization, and no reflow versus PCI alone.

Values remained rather stable over the 4 year observational period; both within group comparisons showed a trend towards slightly lower values after year 4 in the ramipril group but were not significant (Figure 3 , upper panel).

As illustrated in Figure 1 , subjects carrying the LL genotype who were treated with ondansetron showed a trend toward having decreased serotonin transporter mRNA expression levels with decreasing drinking levels (slope = +1.1698) during the 11-week treatment period.

The modulation of connection strength from left M1 to both right PMd and PMv during gripping also showed a trend towards correlating with age ( Fig. 5 ).

Food/water intake and urine parameters Measurement of 24-h cumulative food intake in metabolic cages at week 10 showed that, although no significant difference was observed, HC showed a trend towards higher food consumption, even when adjusted for their higher body weight ( Fig. 3 F).

Analyses of collagen content in CT26 carcinomas by hydroxyproline quantification showed a trend towards a higher collagen content in carcinomas grown in integrin β 3 -deficient compared to WT mice ( Figure 3B ).

meta-analysis reviewed 14 studies of women who became pregnant after breast cancer and reported that 8 studies demonstrated a significant survival advantage while the remaining 6 showed a trend-favoring pregnancy but did not reach statistically significance [ 61 ], Once criticism of studies reporting an improved survival for patients with breast cancer is that they may have included selection bias referred to as the “healthy mother effect.” The “healthy mother effect” infers that women who become pregnant represent an overall healthier group of patients with perhaps a lower risk of disease relapse.

Whole membrane fractionation and quantitative western blotting showed a trend towards increased membrane GABA A R protein levels within 60 min of TNF α nanoinjection delivery, but these results did not reach significance.

The authors have also noted that SLL in patients correlated significantly with WG and showed a trend for an association with BMI gains.

32 showed a trend toward a higher rate of relapse in patients who received RIC regimens compared retrospectively with patients who received myeloablative conditioning.

placebo controls and also showed a trend towards increased HIV infection after vaccination in uncircumcised men with pre-existing Ad5 neutralizing antibodies [1] , [2] .

On this premise, plot panels comparing antibody levels against single alleles indicate that younger children (3-5 years) showed a trend of greater strain-specificity, characterized by the slightly greater spread of data points (in red) compared to that of older children in most panels (Figure 2 ).

However, colonic sections from TSR2 mice showed a trend for lower counts (n = 20, vessels = 19.45±2.7) when compared to saline-treated colons (n = 16, vessels = 26.62±4.0) ( Figure S1 ).

Our findings are in agreement with a recently published report that showed a trend to decreasing values of LVEF in relation to higher CRP levels. 27) The significant relationship between CRP and LVEF suggests the implication of inflammatory mechanisms in left ventricular dysfunction and in the pathogenesis of congestive heart failure, independently of the underlying atherosclerotic burden.

Total HF-extractable iron (Figure 2 C) concentrations ranged between 196 and 333 mmol/kg and showed a trend opposite of that for organic carbon, with Fe concentrations being lowest (166–190 mmol/kg) above a depth of 55 cm, intermediate from the water table down to 105 cm (230–249 mmol/kg), and highest below 105 cm (333–337 mmol/kg).

A neutralizing antibody directed against IL-8 showed a trend toward reduced MSC chemotaxis from 604+/−147.7 MSCs to 374+/−125.9, however this was not statistically significant ( Figure 5F ).

One meta-analysis, including nine studies, showed a trend towards less symptomatic vasospasm after coiling than after clipping [ 15 ].

Measurement of Wound Contraction (%) The results showed a trend of progressive contraction from day 5 onwards for both longitudinal and transverse wound contraction.

While neither DcoSB nor DcoWB at rest were associated with years of SHS exposure, DcoWb during exercise showed a trend towards inverse association with years of cabin SHS exposure.
