In this task, you are given a passage which has a question and the context. You have to generate an answer to the question based on the information present in the context.

Q: Context: Animal models for hepatic metastases can facilitate the investigation of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cell-based immunotherapy. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of ccM4 antibody-targeted LAK cells in inhibiting hepatic micrometastases.', 'Hepatic micrometastases were generated after the intrasplenic injection of HM7 colon carcinoma cells. TAG72 expression was detected in these hepatic micrometastases using ccM4 antibody. The ccM4 antibody was conjugated onto LAK cells by treatment with 17.5% polyethylene glycol 8000. After the intrasplenic injection of HM7 cells, severe combined immunodeficient mice were randomized into five groups (i-v) and received either 10(7) ccM4-LAK cells plus 1000 U interleukin 2 (IL-2; group i), LAK cells plus 50 micrograms ccM4 and IL-2 (group ii), LAK cells plus IL-2 (group iii), IL-2 alone (group iv), or only phosphate-buffered saline (group v).', 'The ccM4-LAK cells retained cytolytic activity and acquired TAG72-binding reactivity. The results showed that group i had significantly fewer hepatic metastases compared with group ii or group iii (P < 0.05) and even fewer hepatic metastases compared with group iv or group v (P < 0.001).\Question: Do antibody-targeted lymphokine-activated killer cells inhibit liver micrometastases in severe combined immunodeficient mice?

A: These results show that ccM4 antibody-targeted LAK cells significantly inhibited tumor growth in vivo; thus, they can be potentially useful in treatment of hepatic micrometastases.

Q: Context: Monitoring renal function is crucial in children undergoing chemotherapy. To date, a combination of routine serum creatinine (SCR) monitoring with occasional determination of creatinine clearance ratio (CCR) is widely used as clinical standard for this purpose. Both methods have their limitations regarding diagnostic value (SCR) or practicability (CCR), especially in young children. Diagnostic alternatives, such as glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation formulas have not been proved to be superior. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether serum cystatin C (CysC) may have a diagnostic impact on pediatric patients.', 'CysC, SCR, several GFR estimation formulas (Counahan-Barratt, Ghazali-Barratt, Schwartz, Shull, Traub), and CCR were studied in 80 pediatric cancer patients (age range: 0.17-17.9 years) during their chemotherapy. Special attention was given to children under the age of 3 in whom accurate urine collection for CCR is difficult.', 'All parameters correlated similarly well with CCR. Total accuracy was 66% and 67% for CysC and SCR, respectively. In very young children (<3 years), correlation with CCR was for CysC r = -0.74 with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.646, and for SCR r = -0.27 with AUC = 0.594. Total accuracy was 60% for CysC, 50% for SCR.\Question: Is serum cystatin C a suitable marker for routine monitoring of renal function in pediatric cancer patients , especially of very young age?

A: CysC represents a suitable marker for monitoring renal function in pediatric cancer patients. In young children (<3 years), CysC may have a better diagnostic value than SCR. Future studies should show if CysC can improve renal monitoring by replacing SCR, especially in very young children.

Q: Context: To determine whether concentrations of heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) measured before hospital discharge predict critical cardiac events in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).', '92 consecutive patients with DCM were enrolled and followed up for four years.', 'Serum concentrations of H-FABP, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), cardiac troponin T before hospital discharge and survival rate.', '23 patients died of cardiac causes, received a left ventricular assist device or underwent heart transplantation during the four-year follow up. Univariate analyses showed that New York Heart Association functional class, heart rate, ejection fraction, serum H-FABP and plasma BNP were significant variables. According to multivariate analysis, serum H-FABP and plasma BNP concentrations were independent predictors of critical cardiac events. Cardiac troponin T before hospital discharge was not a predictor. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for death from critical cardiac events was similar between H-FABP and BNP. Patients with an H-FABP concentration at or above the median (> or = 5.4 ng/ml) had a significantly lower survival rate than those below the median, according to analysis by log rank test (p < 0.0001). When combined with BNP concentration at or above the median (> or = 138 pg/ml), H-FABP below the median predicted the worst prognosis among the combinations.\Question: Is heart-type fatty acid binding protein a novel prognostic marker in patients with non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy?

A:
The concentration of serum H-FABP before discharge from hospital may be an independent predictor for critical cardiac events in DCM.
