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.

Input: Consider Input: B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP)-natriuretic peptide receptor A (NPR-A) receptor signalling inhibits cardiac sympathetic neurotransmission, although C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is the predominant neuropeptide of the nervous system with expression in the heart and vasculature. We hypothesized that CNP acts similarly to BNP, and that transgenic rats (TGRs) with neuron-specific overexpression of a dominant negative NPR-B receptor would develop heightened sympathetic drive.', 'Mean arterial pressure and heart rate (HR) were significantly (P\u2009<\u20090.05) elevated in freely moving TGRs (n\u2009=\u20099) compared with Sprague Dawley (SD) controls (n\u2009=\u200910). TGR had impaired left ventricular systolic function and spectral analysis of HR variability suggested a shift towards sympathoexcitation. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated co-staining of NPR-B with tyrosine hydroxylase in stellate ganglia neurons. In SD rats, CNP (250\u2009nM, n\u2009=\u20098) significantly reduced the tachycardia during right stellate ganglion stimulation (1-7\u2009Hz) in vitro whereas the response to bath-applied norepinephrine (NE, 1\u2009μM, n\u2009=\u20096) remained intact. CNP (250\u2009nM, n\u2009=\u20098) significantly reduced the release of

Input: Consider Input: The apoptosis inhibitor-5 (API5), anti-apoptosis protein, is considered a key molecule in the tumor progression and malignant phenotype of tumor cells. Here, we investigated API5 expression in cervical cancer, its clinical significance, and its relationship with phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 (pERK1/2) in development and progression of cervical cancer.', 'API5 effects on cell growth were assessed in cervical cancer cell lines. API5 and pERK1/2 immunohistochemical staining were performed on a cervical cancer tissue microarray consisting of 173 primary cervical cancers, 306 cervical intraepithelial neoplasias (CINs), and 429 matched normal tissues.', 'API5 overexpression promoted cell proliferation and colony formation in CaSki cells, whereas API5 knockdown inhibited the both properties in HeLa cells. Immunohistochemical staining showed that API5 expression increased during the normal to tumor transition of cervical carcinoma (P\u2009<\u20090.001), and this increased expression was significantly associated with tumor stage (P\u2009=\u20090.004), tumor grade (P\u2009<\u20090.001), and chemo-radiation response (P\u2009=\u20090.004). API5 expression levels were positively associated with pERK1/2 in cervical cancer (P\u2009<\u20090.001) and high grade CIN (P\u2009=\u20090.031). In multivariate analysis, API5+ (P\u2009=\u20090.039) and combined API5+/pERK1/2+ (P\u2009=\u20090.032) were independent prognostic factors for overall survival.

Input: Consider Input: Although excess alcohol consumption has been believed to cause liver injury, light alcohol consumption (LAC) has been reported to play a protective role against fatty liver in recent studies. However, the association between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and LAC in men with metabolic syndrome (MS) is unclear. The aim of this study was to examine the association between NAFLD and LAC in men with MS.', 'Subjects were 1055 men with MS who underwent a regular health check-up and drank less 20\xa0g/day of alcohol. A distinction was made between non-drinkers and light drinkers and the association between NAFLD and LAC in men with MS was elucidated. NAFLD was referred as fatty liver with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels ≧31 IU/L in this study.', 'Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and the prevalence of NAFLD were significantly lower in light drinkers than in non-drinkers. Logistic regression analysis showed body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), uric acid (UA), haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), visceral fat type MS and LAC (odds ratios: 0.654; 95% confidence intervals: 0.473-0.906; <0.05) were significant predictors of the prevalence of NAFLD.
