An encouraging recent trend in LBD research has involved a move toward author-driven empirical validation of predictions made by LBD systems, including evaluating correlation with microarray data, and evaluation of selected predictions in cell-based and animal models.
Further, circulating levels of IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-10, IL-6, IL-4 and IL-2 were analysed in VL patients (n = 29) by Cytometric Bead Array to evaluate correlation with parasitic load.
Further study with a large cohort is needed to evaluate correlation with clinicopathological characteristics and to be used as prognostics.
In an additional translational study, the mRNA expression of 5-FU-related enzymes, microsatellite instability and chromosomal instability, and histopathological factors including tumor budding are assessed to evaluate correlation with recurrences, survivals and adverse events.
To measure antioxidant enzyme activities and lipid peroxidation levels within follicular fluid (FF) and evaluate correlations with early embryo quality.
In evaluating correlations with this mixed model approach, student open-ended scores were analyzed as a covariate to Likert scores.
This method for generating null distributions was chosen, because in the single sample analysis, more complex models are difficult to justify as there is no meaningful way to evaluate correlations with phenotypes.
Although not included in the design or the scope of this study, direct control of target gene expression exerted by miRNAs may be established through functional studies that evaluate correlations with mRNA and protein levels [ 35, 36].
Several authors evaluated correlation of the MRI findings with pathology [ 19, 24– 28, 28, 32, 33, 40].
The purpose of the study was to evaluate correlation of electromechanical properties with histological, biochemical and biomechanical properties of cartilage.
