29– 32 A case-control study including 200 patients and 200 age-matched controls evaluated the effects of isoflavones, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals in the Japanese diet on PCa risk.
Study Design: Oral squamous cells from 202 patients with oral cancer and 333 age-sex frequency matched controls were evaluated by polymerase chain reaction for the presence and type of HPV and for alleles of codon 72 in p53.
Seventy-four workexposedosed to BD via inhalation and 157 matched controls were evaluated in Nanjing, China.
Differences in HRQoL between CKD 2 3 and the matched controls were evaluated by the Mann- Whitney U-test.
Forty five diabetic patients and forty five matched controls were evaluated by doing the following haemostatic parameter, prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, thrombin time, coagulation factors assay II, VII, IX, & plasma fibrinogen, ADP-induced platelet aggregation, protein C, a2- antiplasmin, PAI and FDPs.
To determine cognitive profiles uniquely associated with each onset group and to test the possibility that EOD effects might underlie the general diabetes effects in the overall meta-analysis (Fig. 1, Panel A), a subset of EOD and LOD children with matched controls was evaluated with further meta-analyses (3, 5, 6, 18, 19).
Because HCV infection is an important public health issue, a case control study was performed among HCV-positive case-patients with matched controls to evaluate risk factors for HCV infection in the area where the esophageal endoscopic survey was conducted.
The entire course of depression up to the deaths by suicide and a corresponding date for the matched control was evaluated.
RQ of differential gene expression among disease-discordant twin pairs and unrelated, matched controls was independently evaluated by RT-PCR analyses for several genes of interest (KRTCAP2, MAP2K6, IL1RN, IFI27, SYTL2, FYN, LTK, EIF2AK2, FCERA1, LGR6, DEFA4, ANXA3, TNFAIP6, CEACAM6, and TNFSF10) as detailed in Materials and methods.
To compare blood thiamine concentrations, echocardiography findings, and plasma N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels in infants with clinically diagnosed beriberi and healthy matched controls, and to evaluate changes after thiamine treatment.
a Two-sided χ2 test and Mann-Whitney where appropriate b Pack-years for ever smokers We have determined the frequency of 5 polymorphisms in 4 different genes implicated in DNA damage repair (XPC PAT, XPD Asp312Asn, XPD Lys751Gln, XRCC1 and399Gln, and XRCC3 Thr241Met) in lung cancer patients and matched controls in order to evaluate their association with the risk of lung cancer.
