Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Is lymphocyte proliferation in mice after a full laparotomy the same whether performed in a sealed carbon dioxide chamber or in room air?
Answer: Our results suggest that full laparotomy performed in a sealed CO2 chamber compared to room air laparotomy resulted in similar suppression of lymphocyte proliferation. Furthermore, no significant suppression of lymphocyte proliferation was observed in the CO2 pneumoperitoneum group. These results, with regard to lymphocyte proliferation rates, refute the hypothesis that postoperative immunosuppression is related to air exposure and support the alternative hypothesis that immunosuppression is related to incision length.
Output (English): yes
