As controls for GnRH and GnRH receptor +/- neurons and the number of ICCs, sections from 11 cases of bowel resection due to small intestinal non-obliterating carcinoma with normal macro- and microscopic appearance 10 cm above the tumour were used.
The test-retest ICCs for the five sections were between 0.57 and 0.73, and all were significant at p < 0.001 (Table 5), indicating acceptable reliability [ 19].
In this article, the ICC for the pain section was 0.58, which is a bit lower than in the original (0.94), but is still fair to good.
We provide a brief background about the one-way random effects model and define the particular ICC of interest in Section "Methods".
This study showed that dual Scheimpflug system has high correlation among repeated measurements for corneal thickness average in a 3.5 mm section, with ICC very close to 1, but we found worse results in the paracentral zone which comprised between 3.5 mm and 5.0 mm.
For the English version of the questionnaire, the ICC was 0.65 in CVD indicator section, 0.70 in alcohol section, 0.50 in smoking section, 0.46 in physical activity section and 0.3 in nutrition section.
The ICCs for the four quality assessment sections ranged from 0.61 to 0.83.
The within-person component is large for all four sections, and the low ICCs suggest that the loading is more dependent on factors related to changing conditions in the environment than on traits specific to the individuals being monitored.
ICC: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma; HCC: Hilar cholangiocarcinoma Paraffin sections of 4 μm thickness were deparaffinized and treated with 3% (v/v) hydrogen peroxide to block endogenous peroxidase activity.
Oral to the clip, on frozen sections the density of DOG1+ ICC was significantly reduced and the distribution was not continuous compared to the control group, and on the whole-mount preparations, ICC networks were partly damaged, and the numbers of DOG1 and DAPI double-labeled cells were also significantly reduced, indicating that some ICCs might be absent.
