TASK DEFINITION: Given a passage with a context and an answer, construct a question on the basis of the information present in the passage. Construct the question in such a way that (i) it is unambiguous, (ii) it is answerable from the passage, (iii) its answer is unique (iv) it answer uses text phrases from the passage. Avoid creating questions that (i) can't be answered correctly without actually understanding the passage and (ii) uses the same words or phrases given in the passage.
PROBLEM: Context: We investigated in vitro whether IL-1beta and TGF-beta1 affect pancreatic cancer cell growth, adhesion to the extracellular matrix and Matrigel invasion.', 'Adhesion to fibronectin, laminin and type I collagen, and Matrigel invasion after stimulation with saline, IL-1beta and TGF-beta1 were evaluated using three primary and three metastatic pancreatic cancer cell lines.', 'Extracellular matrix adhesion of control cells varied independently of the metastatic characteristics of the studied cell lines, whereas Matrigel invasion of control cells was partly correlated with the in vivo metastatic potential. IL-1beta did not influence extracellular matrix adhesion, whereas it significantly enhanced the invasiveness of three of the six cell lines. TGF-beta1 affected the adhesion of one cell line, and exerted contrasting effects on Matrigel invasion of different cell lines.
Answer: IL-1beta enhances the invasive capacity of pancreatic cancer cells, whereas TGF-beta1 has paradoxical effects on pancreatic cancer cells; this makes it difficult to interfere with TGF-beta1 signaling in pancreatic cancer treatment.

SOLUTION: Is pancreatic cancer cells invasiveness mainly affected by interleukin-1beta not by transforming growth factor-beta1?

PROBLEM: Context: Material loss at the taper junction of metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasties has been implicated in their early failure. The mechanisms of material loss are not fully understood; analysis of the patterns of damage at the taper can help us better understand why material loss occurs at this junction.', 'We mapped the patterns of material loss in a series of 155 metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasties received at our center by scanning the taper surface using a roundness-measuring machine. We examined these material loss maps to develop a 5-tier classification system based on visual differences between different patterns. We correlated these patterns to surgical, implant, and patient factors known to be important for head-stem taper damage.', 'We found that 63 implants had "minimal damage" at the taper (material loss <1 mm
Answer: These material loss maps allow us to suggest different mechanisms that dominate the cause of the material loss in each pattern: (1) corrosion, (2) mechanically assisted corrosion, or (3) intraoperative damage or poor size tolerances leading to toggling of trunnion in taper.

SOLUTION: Does damage Patterns at the Head-Stem Taper Junction help Understand the Mechanisms of Material Loss?

PROBLEM: Context: Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a common complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy. We determined the efficiency of a new reconstruction technique, designed to preserve motilin-secreting cells and maximize the utility of their receptors, in reducing the incidence of DGE after pancreaticoduodenectomy.', 'From April 2005 to September 2014, 217 consecutive patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at our institution. Nine patients who underwent total pancreatectomy were excluded. We compared outcomes between patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy with resection of the pyloric ring followed by proximal Roux-en-y gastrojejunal anastomosis (group I, n\u2009=\u200990) and patients who underwent standard pancreaticoduodenectomy with the orthotopic reconstruction technique (group II, n\u2009=\u2009118).', 'Overall and clinically relevant rates of DGE were significantly lower in group I than in group II (10 and 2.2\xa0% vs. 57 and 24\xa0%, respectively; p\u2009<\u20090.05). Length of hospital stay as a result of DGE was shorter in group I than in group II. In univariate analysis, older age, comorbidities, ASA grade 4, operative time, preoperative diabetes, standard reconstruction technique, and postoperative complications were significant risk factors for DGE. In multivariate analysis, older age, standard technique, and postoperative complications were independent risk factors for DGE.
Answer: Our new reconstruction technique reduces the occurrence of DGE after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

SOLUTION:
Does proximal Roux-en-y Gastrojejunal Anastomosis with Pyloric Ring Resection improve Gastric Emptying After Pancreaticoduodenectomy?
