Given a passage, 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.

Question: We investigated the effects of pulsed ultrasound on swelling, muscle soreness perception, relaxed-elbow extension angle, and muscular strength.', 'Eight sets of concentric and eccentric actions induced delayed-onset muscle soreness of the elbow flexors. Group 1 received 20% pulsed ultrasound treatments (1-MHz, 7 minutes, 1.5 W/ cm(2) temporal peak intensity) twice a day immediately after postexercise assessments and at 3, 24, 27, 48, 51, 72, and 75 hours postexercise. Group 2 received sham treatments immediately after postexercise assessments and at 3,27, 51, and 75 hours postexercise and true treatments of pulsed ultrasound at 24, 48, and 72 hours postexercise. Group 3 received sham treatments of no ultrasonic output immediately after postexercise assessments and at 3, 24, 27, 48, 51, 72, and 75 hours postexercise.', 'Thirty-six college-age females.', 'We recorded upper-arm circumference, perceived soreness, relaxed-elbow extension angle, and elbow-flexion strength before (pretest), immediately postexercise, and at 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours postexercise.', 'We noted differences over time but no treatment effect between groups or interactions between time and group for upper-arm circumference, perceived soreness, relaxed-elbow extension angle, or elbow-flexion strength.

Answer: Does pulsed ultrasound fail to diminish delayed-onset muscle soreness symptoms?


Question: The aim of this exploratory study was to identify those factors associated with asthma control assessed according to GINA Guidelines.', '809 (56% female) subjects with asthma were recruited consecutively from both specialist and primary care centres. Asthma control was assessed over a 4-week follow-up period using a composite measure. A multivariate analysis was performed, in which asthma control was included as the dependent variable and several explanatory variables were included as independent variables.', 'Analysis performed on the whole population rendered gender (p=0.003), the type of physician (p<0.001), and age group (p<0.001), as significant factors associated with asthma control. In adults, gender (p=0.001), asthma severity (p<0.001), and type of physician (p<0.001) were significant, and only asthma severity was significant (p=0.043) in children.

Answer: Are women , patients with severe asthma , and patients attended by primary care physicians , at higher risk of suffering from poorly controlled asthma?


Question: Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is dependent on complement activating donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies (DSA). This is commonly detected by C4d deposition in allografts. However, recent data define a C4d negative ABMR phenotype suggesting a role for complement-independent DSA injury, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC).', 'Here, we established an in vitro ADCC model that identified human ADCC-activated genes using microarray analysis. We subsequently interrogated renal allograft biopsies from patients with ABMR and controls for mRNA expression of the ADCC-activated gene set.', 'We identified 13 ADCC-activated genes. Six gene expression assays including 8 of the 13 genes (CCL3, CCL4/CCL4L1/CCL4L2, CD160, IFNG, NR4A3 and XCL1/XCL2) were analyzed in 127 kidney biopsies obtained from HLA-sensitized (HS), non-HS patients and control individuals. Most ADCC-activated genes showed significantly higher expression in the transplant samples compared to the controls (p<0.0005). The gene expression levels were significantly higher in HS and non-HS transplant patients who developed ABMR compared to those who did not (p=0.04-0.002). There was no difference in the gene expression levels between C4d positive and negative ABMR (p=0.26-0.99). Samples from high PRA (>80%) or positive DSA patients showed higher gene expression levels for the ADCC-activated genes compared to low PRA (<80%) and negative DSA patients (p=0.04-0.001).

Answer:
Are genes associated with antibody-dependent cell activation overexpressed in renal biopsies from patients with antibody-mediated rejection?
