Given a passage classify if the passage has a definite objective/aim/goal or not. Output '1' if the passage has a defininte objective/aim/goal and output '0' if the passage does not have a definite objective/aim/goal.

To compare two solutions for fluid resuscitation in post-coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery patients: Ringer's lactate (RL) versus a new solution containing half-molar sodium-lactate (HL).", 'Prospective randomized open label study.', 'The first 12 h post-CABG surgery in an intensive care unit (ICU).', 'There were 230 patients enrolled in the study: 208 were analyzed, with 109 from the HL group and 99 from the RL group.', 'Patients received over the first 12 h post-CABG 10 ml kg BW(-1) HL solution in the HL group versus 30 ml kg BW(-1) of RL solution in the RL group.', 'Hemodynamic status, body fluid balance and inotrope utilization were compared in the two groups. Post-operative cardiac index increase was significantly higher in HL than in RL (P = 0.02), while mean arterial pressure and other hemodynamic parameters were comparable together with urinary output, indicating similar tissue perfusion in both the groups despite a much lower fluid infusion in the HL group. Therefore, a significant negative fluid balance was achieved in the HL but not in the RL group (-790 +/- 71 vs. +43 +/- 115 mL 12 h(-1), P < 0.0001 for HL and RL, respectively). None of the enrolled patients exhibited side effects related to the treatment.

We aimed to better discriminate metastasized (lymphogen/occult/both combined) from non-metastasized seminoma based on post-transcriptional changes examined in the peripheral blood.', 'Total RNAs including small RNAs were isolated from the peripheral blood of patients suffering from metastasized testicular tumours (lymphogen, n = 5, clinical stage IIb/c; occult, n = 5, clinical stage I) and non-metastasized patients (n = 5, clinical stage I). Small RNA next generation sequencing (SOLID, Life Technologies) was employed to examine post-transcriptional changes. We searched for small RNAs showing at least 50 reads and a significant\u2009 ≥ 2-fold difference using peripheral blood small RNAs of non-metastasized tumours as the reference group. Candidate small RNAs were examined in univariate logistic regression analysis and combinations of two small RNAs were further examined using support vector machines.', 'On average 1.3 x 10(7), 1.2 x 10(7) and 1.2 x 10(7) small RNA reads were detectable in non-metastasized, lymphogen and occult metastasized seminoma, respectively of which 73-76% remained after trimming. From these between 80-82% represented annotated reads and 7.2-7.8% (1.6-1.7 x 10(4)) were annotated small RNA tags. Of them 137 small RNAs showed > 50 reads and a ≥ two-fold difference to the reference. In univariate analysis we detected 33-35 different small RNAs which significantly discriminated lymphogen/occult/combined metastasized from non-metastasized seminoma and among these different comparisons it were the same small RNAs in 44-79%. Many combinations of two of these small RNAs completely discriminated metastasized from non-metastasized seminoma irrespective of the metastasis subtype.

Although previous studies have found that electrolytic lesions of the anterior hypothalamic area (AHA) resulted in the suppression of anaphylaxis, their effect on late allergic responses has scarcely been investigated. To clarify the role of the AHA on possible late asthmatic responses, including their neuroendocrinological mechanisms, we examined the effect of electrolytic AHA lesions on antigen-induced eosinophilic infiltration into the airway tract and measured the plasma corticosterone and catecholamine levels in sensitized rats, i.e. a model of bronchial asthma.', 'The rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, including: (1) an unoperated control group; (2) a sham AHA-lesioned group and (3) an AHA-lesioned group. Then, we investigated antigen-induced eosinophilic infiltration into right bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and the lamina propria mucosae of the left main bronchus.', 'The AHA-lesioned group showed the significantly lowest number of eosinophils in both the BALF (p < 0.01) and the main bronchus (p < 0.05). The plasma adrenaline levels in the AHA-lesioned group were significantly higher than those in the other groups (p < 0.05). No differences were found in the plasma corticosterone or noradrenaline levels among the 3 groups.
