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.

Oxidative stress often occurs in chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients. The objective of our study was to investigate the interrelationship between oxidative stress and the degree of renal anemia.', 'In 107 consecutive HD patients, serum concentrations of two major aldehydic lipid peroxidation (LPO) products, 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) and malondialdehyde (MDA), and of protein carbonyls were analyzed as parameters of oxidative stress and related to the degree of renal anemia. Additionally, in 76 patients treated with epoetin long-term changes in the serum levels of aldehydic LPO products were observed.', 'In HD patients, serum levels of HNE, MDA, and protein carbonyls are increased in comparison to controls. The lower the hemoglobin, i.e. the stronger the degree of renal anemia, the higher the serum concentrations of HNE, MDA, and protein carbonyls. The HNE and MDA levels decreased during HD. Long-term studies on the correction of renal anemia by epoetin demonstrated a mitigation of oxidative stress during this therapy. During periods of 1 and 2 years, it was observed that the serum levels of HNE and MDA could be reduced.

To compare silica gel with acyclovir cream in the treatment of recurrent herpes labialis.', 'In this randomized, open-label, comparator-controlled trial, 74 patients with recurrent herpes labialis applied silica gel or acyclovir cream respectively over a period of 10 days. The treatment started within 24 hours of the first symptoms of a new recurrence. Patients rated five symptoms (tautness, tingling, itching, burning sensation, pain), lesion stage, efficacy, tolerability, and duration until the onset of improvement. Their willingness-to-pay was assessed. Physicians rated the severity of the herpes recurrence and efficacy.', "There was no significant difference between silica gel and acyclovir cream in the overall patients' assessment. There is evidence that silica gel relieved all investigated symptoms earlier than acyclovir cream. The efficacy and tolerability of both medications were rated as good to very good.

Intracellular targets sensitive to oxidized damage generated by photodynamic therapy (PDT) utilizing N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymer-mesochlorin e6 monoethylenediamine (Mce6) conjugates was explored to aid in the design of second generation PDT delivery systems.', 'Low temperature, metabolic inhibitor, and nuclear localization sequences (NLS(FITC)) were used to achieve desired subcellular localization that was evaluated by confocal analysis and subcellular fractionation. Mce6 was bound to HPMA copolymer conjugates via non-degradable dipeptide linkers (P-GG-Mce6, P-NLS(FITC)-GG-Mce6) or lysosomally degradable tetrapeptide spacers (P-GFLG-Mce6, P-NLS(FITC)-GFLG-Mce6). Chemotherapeutic efficacy was assessed by the concentration that inhibited growth by 50% (IC50), cell associated drug concentration (CAD) and confocal microscopy.', 'P-GFLG-Mce6 possessed enhanced chemotherapeutic activ ity compared to P-GG-Mce6 indicating enzymatically released Mce6 was more active than copolymer-bound Mce6. Lysosomes appeared less sensitive to photodamage as observed by a higher IC50. Nuclear-directed HPMA copolymer-Mce6 conjugates (P-NLS(FITC)-GG-Mce6, P-NLS(FITC)-GFLG-Mce6) possessed enhanced chemotherapeutic activity. However, control cationic HPMA copolymer-Mce6 conjugates containing a scrambled NLS (P-scNLS(FITC)-GG-Mce6) or amino groups (P-NH2-GG-Mce6) also displayed increased chemotherapeutic activity.
