From the analysis of samples, a correlation has been drawn between different experimental parameters and physical properties and texture of the said coatings.
Since THPM has a larger τ3 value (hence, a larger intermolecular-space hole) and absorption rate than that of the other samples, a correlation between τ3 and the absorption rate has been shown to be evident.
To test how the expression of the three L/R pairs involved in growth pathways, INHBB/ACVR1, TNC/ANXA2, and TGFA/EGFR, was regulated among 16 normal thyroid or 23 PTC samples, a correlation analysis was performed between the pairs in dataset III, which included the largest number of samples (see Table 1).
Interestingly, in M0 blood serum samples a correlation of LOH at the locus D3S1255 to positive axillary lymph node status was observed (Additional file 4, P = 0.05).
Because there were only two biological replicates for the 3-dpi samples, a correlation analysis was performed between the two replicates of each treatment.
For the same set of samples, a correlation was detected for the age of the patients with the microvascular density in the tumors, and with the density of FSHR-positive vessels (r = 0.70; n = 17; p = 0.001 in both cases).
Using human ovarian cancer samples, a correlation was observed between the activated status of the VEGFR2 and downstream markers of the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, pS6 and p4E-BP1 protein.
When the histopathology and the PCR results were compared, 60% (15 out of 25) of the samples demonstrate a correlation, with three samples positive and 12 samples negative by both methods.
In the Affymetrix miRNA array analysis, 33-35% of miRNA targets were detectable in each sample with a correlation of R = 0.99.
