Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Data are presented as mean ± SD. For thrombus formation as well as myocardial infarction experiments, the sample sizes were calculated a priori using the ANOVA sample size analysis software tool of SigmaPlot 13 (Systat Software, San Jose, CA, USA). This calculation resulted in a required group size of n = 8 (power: 0.8; alpha: 0.05; estimated relevant effect size: 0.30; estimated SD: 0.17) in thrombus formation experiments, and a required group size of n = 6 for infarct size experiments (power 0.8; alpha 0.05; estimated relevant effect size: 0.25; estimated SD: 0.10). For infarct sizes and thrombus formation, differences between groups were analysed by one-way ANOVA with Tukey post hoc test. Comparisons of haemodynamics between groups or between different time points within a group were performed with a two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. Statistical data analysis was performed using GraphPad StatMate™ Version 1.01 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA, USA) or SigmaPlot 13 (Systat Software, San Jose, CA, USA). Differences were considered statistically significant when p values were less than 0.05.

Quantitative results of viability, early apoptosis markers, thioflavin T-fluorescence, the AO fluorescence ratio, and the BODIPY™ 581/591 C11 fluorescence ratio are presented as mean ± SEM. The statistical significance of differences between the groups was determined using ANOVA with subsequent application of the Newman–Keuls test. MaxStat Pro 3.6 software (MaxStat Software, Cleverns, Germany) and SigmaPlot 13 (Systat Software, Palo Alto, CA, USA) were used to perform all statistical analyses. Differences were considered statistically significant at (*) P < 0.05.
Quantitative microscopy analysis (namely analysis of lysosomal size, mitochondrial circularity, Δ, ROS levels, and Pearson's correlation coefficient) was conducted following fluorescence quantitative microscopy guidelines.69–71 (link) In brief, images from three independent experiments were subjected to quantitative analysis. In each experiment, 10 randomly selected fields from each sample were imaged. To determine the sample size, we employed an accepted statistical methodology.72 (link) We used SigmaPlot 13 software (Systat Software, Palo Alto, CA, USA) to calculate the sample size, considering a minimum confidence level of 95% and a statistical power of 0.9. Under these conditions, the sample size was calculated to be 30. Thus, at least 30 randomly selected cells were used in fluorescence microscopy quantification.

Etheno-ATP Exchange Kinetics Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The exchange of G-actin-bound nucleotides was examined by monitoring the increase in the fluorescence of etheno-ATP. ADP-G-actin (1.3 μM) in 150 μl of G-buffer without ATP or ADP (2 mM Tris-HCl, 0.2 mM CaCl2, 0.2 mM dithiothreitol, pH 8.0) and 50 μl of 160 μM etheno-ATP with or without CAS-2 variants and/or UNC-60A were mixed. Then, the fluorescence of etheno-ATP (excitation at 360 nm and emission at 410 nm) was monitored for 20 min with an F-4500 fluorescence spectrophotometer (Hitachi High-Technologies). The exponential rates (kobs) were calculated by curve fitting using SigmaPlot 13 (Systat Software). The mean values were tested by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) using SigmaPlot 13 (Systat Software).

Soil Respiration Dynamics under Nitrogen Addition

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Repeated measurement ANOVA was conducted to examine the effects of N addition on Rs, Rh, Ra, soil temperature and moisture. The effects of different treatments on FRB, soil physicochemical properties, soil microbial biomass, Rs, Rh, Ra and Q 10 were studied by one-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD test. The relationship between Rs, Rh, Ra and soil physicochemical properties, microbial biomass and FRB was further discussed by using linear regression model.
We tted the measured soil temperature and soil moisture with R as an exponential equation (R = ae bT W c ) and obtained the Q 10 value from the b coe cient (Q 10 = e 10b ).
Where R represents the rate of soil respiration (Rs, Rh, Ra, μmol m -2 s -1 ); T represents the soil temperature at 5 cm depth (°C); W (%) represents soil volumetric moisture at 5 cm depth; and a, b, and c represent model parameters.
All analyses were performed with SPSS 22.0 software package (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, Illinois, USA), and graphs were prepared with SigmaPlot 13.0 software (Systat Software Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The reproducibility of two separate investigator and intra-investigator assessments were evaluated using Cohen’s kappa index. The intra- and inter-examiner agreements were 0.81 and 0.72, respectively. All statistical analyses were performed using SigmaPlot 13.0 software (Systat Software Inc., San Jose, USA) or R statistical software (https://www.R-project.org/). The differences in the characteristics and detection rates of the bacteria between the healthy controls and periodontitis patients were analyzed using the chi-squared or Fisher’s exact tests. Fisher’s exact tests were performed when the criteria for the chi-squared test were not fulfilled. Comparisons among all groups were performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test, and Dunn’s test was used to correct for multiple comparisons. P-values were considered statistically significant when the p-value was less than 0.05, and marginally significant when P > 0.05, up to 0.1.
