The combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods shows that Tai Chi has beneficial effects on health not related to disease activity and standardised health status assessment, and may contribute to an understanding of how Tai Chi exerts its effects. NCT00522054. 展开 ...

In the descriptive statistical analysis, qualitative variables were summarized as counts and percentages, while quantitative variables were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) along with the 95% confidence interval or as median with range, based on their distribution’s adherence to normal...
The quantitative analysis performed here has allowed to characterize, for the first time, the main AIRR features of RA at the resolution of the seven receptor chains. We have demonstrated that the low AIRR diversity detected in RA patients is restricted to the B cell compartment. Our findings...

Furthermore, the assessment is only quantitative and not qualitative. The DXA includes an assessment of both cortical and trabecular bone, while the CT-scan allows for an evaluation of the trabecular bone alone, avoiding cortical spine damage. In the AS group, only one patient with VF was ...
To evaluate the qualitative and quantitative difference of each cluster per condition, we distributed and visualized the cells from each sample in individual UMAPs (Fig. 2A, B). We further annotated the nine SF clusters by taking into account the inter-cluster and intra-cluster analysis of DE ...
Additionally, ROS activate inflammatory signaling pathways, including nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK). MAPK enhances the activity of inflammatory cells and induces apoptosis or necrosis, thereby exacerbating joint tissue damage and inflammatory responses (...
Rituximab is a chimeric mAb against CD20 that induces a profound depletion of B cells in the peripheral blood of RA patients [3]; however, little is known about the qualitative and quantitative aspects of deletion achieved in tissues including the bone marrow (BM) and lymph nodes. Initial stud...
