Sentence examples for more proximal sections from inspiring English sources

RSV infection of the distal airway epithelium, but not of the more proximal sections, results in overexpression of NGF and its trkA receptor, while the other p75NTR receptor is markedly downregulated.

As with similar studies, there is always the question of how well the fecal microbiome represents the microbiome in more proximal sections of the gastrointestinal tract.

Recently, alterations in substrate affinity for alanine, a major BAT1 substrate, were also demonstrated over widespread sections of rat small intestine incubated in more proximal sections with the same amino acids that displayed affinity alterations [ 56].

In contrast, conditions applying to more proximal sections of the digestive tract (more acid environment, fast transit, and high bile acid concentration) make microbial diversity lower, with higher abundance of acid lactic bacteria [ 32].

The more proximal sections were more torsionally stiff (donor bone B: 3,094 vs. 2,302 Nmm/deg; bone D: 2,374 vs. 1,979 Nmm/deg; donor bone I: 221 vs. 111 Nmm/deg), but the difference between donor bones was greater than within the donor bones.

Section 1 is positioned more proximal than section 2. The cortex is thin in both sections and consists of LZB.

In each group, among all sections observed, two different morphologies were identified: (i) the more distal mid-diaphyseal sections show oval appearance; thus they were named "round-shaped" sections; (ii) the more proximal mid-diaphyseal sections show sharp-edge appearance (corresponding to the trochanter tertius); thus they were named "sharp-edge-shaped" sections.

In conclusion, our data suggest that RSV infection of the distal (bronchial) airway epithelium, but not of the more proximal (nasal and tracheal) sections, results in overexpression of NGF and its trkA receptor, while the other p75NTR receptor is markedly downregulated.

On the other hand, in the histamine-treated samples, the three groups show differences in the percentage of leaky BVs (P = 0.0015, one-way ANOVA); especially, the sections distal from the slice surface exhibit significantly more leaky BVs compared to the proximal sections (P < 0.001, two-tailed student t-test).
