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.

[EX Q]: Context: T-wave alternans (TWA) is an indicator of vulnerability to ventricular arrhythmias and is useful for predicting sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with various structural heart diseases. We evaluated whether high levels of time-domain TWA on ambulatory ECG (AECG) are associated with a history of ventricular fibrillation (VF) in Brugada syndrome (BrS) patients.', 'We examined the associations among VF history, family history of SCD, spontaneous type 1 electrocardiogram (ECG), late potentials, VF induction by programmed electrical stimulation, and TWA in 45 BrS patients (44 males; mean age, 45 ± 15 years). TWA analyzed from 24-h AECG recordings using the modified moving average method was positive in 13 of 43 patients (30%). Patients with a history of VF had a significantly higher incidence of a positive TWA test (82% vs. 13%; P < 0.001) and spontaneous type 1 ECG (92% vs. 38%; P = 0.007) than those without VF history. Multivariate analysis indicated that positive TWA (OR 7.217; 95% CI 2.503-35.504; P = 0.002) and spontaneous type 1 ECG (OR 5.530; 95% CI 1.651-34.337; P = 0.020) were closely associated with VF history. Spontaneous type 1 ECG had high sensitivity (92%) but low specificity (63%). Positive TWA was a reliable marker with high sensitivity and specificity (82% and 88%, respectively).\Question: Is time-domain T-wave alternans strongly associated with a history of ventricular fibrillation in patients with Brugada syndrome?
[EX A]: Elevated time-domain TWA on AECG confirms arrhythmia risk in symptomatic BrS patients without the need for provocative stimuli.

[EX Q]: Context: Activation of NF-kappaB signaling pathway plays a critical role in the initiation and progression of carcinogenesis. However, the role of NF-kappaB pathway in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has not been fully elucidated. Studies have shown that curcumin possesses anti-infection and anti-oxidation effects. This study was to evaluate whether curcumin could induce apoptosis through inhibition of NF-kappaB signaling pathway in ESCC cells.', 'Expressions of pIkappaBalpha and Bcl-2 were detected using Western blott after incubation of ESCC cells with curcumin (50 micromol/L) at different time points. Apoptosis and the number of viable ESCC cells were analyzed using flow cytometry and MTT, respectively, after the treatment of curcumin, 5-FU, or the combination of curcumin and 5-FU.', 'In two ESCC cell lines, EC9706 and Eca109,curcumin inhibited IkappaBalpha phosphorylation and Bcl-2 in a time-dependent manner; curcumin alone increased cell apoptosis (P<0.05), and the effect became more prominent when it was combined with 5-FU (P<0.05); curcumin plus 5-FU exerted a stronger inhibition effect on cell proliferation than curcumin alone (P<0.05) or 5-FU alone (P<0.05).\Question: Does [ Curcumin promote apoptosis of esophageal squamous carcinoma cell lines through inhibition of NF-kappaB signaling pathway ]?
[EX A]: Curcumin inhibits the phosphorylation of IkappaBalpha, leading to suppression of proliferation, induction of apoptosis and an increase of the sensitivity of ESCC cell lines towards 5-FU.

[EX Q]: Context: Macrophages seem to play an important role in the development of glomerulosclerosis. In both human and experimental animal models of focal glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), infiltration of macrophages in the mesangium has been considered key in the development of FSGS.', "In the present study, we evaluated the effect of vasoactive agents on the migration of monocytes across a filter in a modified Boyden chamber as well as across a cultured glomerular endothelial cell layer (in vitro model of glomerular mesangium). Both light as well as scanning electron microscopic studies were performed. We evaluated the effect of vasoactive agents including histamine, prostaglandin (PG) E2, angiotensin II, endothelin-1, platelet-activating factor, and interleukin-1 (IL) on the migration of monocytes/macrophages across an endothelial cell layer as well as a gelatin-coated filter. In addition, we evaluated the effect of cyclic adenosine 3',5' cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) and PGE2 on vasoactive-induced migration of monocytes.", 'Histamine increased (P < 0.003) the migration of monocytes across the filter. This effect of histamine was dose-dependent. Histamine at concentrations of 10(-8) to 10(-5) mol/L induced optimal migration across the filter (control, 16.6 +/- 1.1 vs histamine, 10(-8) mol/L, 40.9 +/- 0.9 monocytes/high power field). Cimetidine, an H2 receptor blocker, attenuated (P < 0.001) the effect of histamine on the migration of monocytes. PGE2 inhibited the migration of monocytes in a dose-dependent manner. Histamine increased (P < 0.001) the passage of monocytes across the glomerular endothelial cell layer (control, 1012 +/- 37 vs 1711 +/- 163 cpm/well). Histamine also increased the migration of murine macrophages across the glomerular endothelial cell layer. PGE2 inhibited the migration of monocytes across the endothelial cell layer under basal as well as histamine-stimulated states. Dibutyryl cyclic (DBc) AMP also attenuated the migration of monocytes under basal as well as histamine-stimulated states. Both PGE2 and DBcAMP also attenuated the IL-1 beta-stimulated migration of monocytes. Angiotensin II, endothelin-1, and platelet-activating factor did not modulate the migration of monocytes.\Question: Do vasoactive agents modulate migration of monocytes across glomerular endothelial cells?
[EX A]:
Vasoactive agents directly modulate the transmigration of monocytes. The present in vitro study provides a basis for a hypothesis that vasoactive agents may also be modulating the migration of monocytes across the glomerular endothelial cell layer (into the mesangium).
