這幾年看文獻和寫dissertation的時候整理了一些寫作常用詞匯和短語，希望大家也能用得上：

No statistically significant differences in survival were found for MMC or MPMA.

Although MMC and MPMA decreased with increasing nuclear grade and TNM stage, this difference failed to achieve statistical significance.

發生率Incidence, frequency, prevalence

In contrast with regions of high incidence, the mutation spectrum did not show a high prevalence of mutations at A:T base pairs.

There was no significant correlation to gender, age, clinical symptoms, histology, T or N status, TNM stage, or tumor location.

Neither eNOS nor nNOS expression was associated with vascular density, tumor grade or the TNM status of the tumors.

No correlations were found between bFGF and age, menopausal status, TNM or pTNM, histology, SBR grading or steroid receptors.

we did not find any correlation between bax expression and any clinicopathologic parameters (sex, age, TNM status, tumor grade, histological type).
