METs and peak exercise heart rate were similar between the groups, demonstrating equivalent effort during the test (Table 3).
Neither the inducible expression of CD107a nor the ex-vivo expression level of TRAIL differed between the groups, demonstrating intact NK cell cytolytic function [Fig. 2c(i)(ii),d(i)(ii)].
To examine this possibility, we compared the CNA data for the GC lines that could (Fig. S4A) or could not (Fig. S4B) form macroscopic tumors and found highly similar genomic aberrations between the groups, demonstrating that the GC lines that did not form tumors were nonetheless also cancer cells.
Transfer efficiency of the microbiota to WT germ-free mice was quantified using the similarity index based on unweighted UniFrac distances, and NOD2−/− donor mice and recipient WT mice shared the same distances within each group and the union (U) between the groups demonstrating similarity in these microbial profiles (Fig 7B).
Contrary to what was observed in the accelerating version of the rota rod, there was no significant difference in the latency to fall on trial 1 of day 1 between the groups, demonstrating that this version of the task is indeed simpler.
Although the persons in this study differ in their type of illness and disability and the duration of impairment (from birth or attained at some point in their lives due to accident or illness), the experiences between the two groups demonstrate considerable similarity.
In contrast Group 2, the colonic cells that were fixed in formalin, processed to paraffin embedding and then LCM, exhibited a 25% difference in the log2 values between the genes in this group and Group 1. Examination of individual gene transcript levels between the three groups demonstrated more similarities between the two unfixed groups than with the fixed group.
At DCCT baseline, there were no significant differences between the treatment groups, demonstrating that the randomization process worked.
However, the number of fluid responders was similar between the two groups, demonstrating that although patients in the conventional group received more crystalloid, it did not prevent further signs of hypovolemia, which is likely a reflection of cardiac dysfunction.
