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: Intrathecal adenosine is antinociceptive under conditions of central sensitization, but not in response to acute stimuli in normals. The reasons for this selective circumstance of action remain unclear, but some evidence links adenosine's antinociceptive effects to release of norepinephrine by terminals in the spinal cord. The purpose of this study was to test whether spinal adenosine induces norepinephrine release selectively in settings of hypersensitivity.", 'Rats randomly assigned to spinal nerve ligation, sham operation, or no operation were anesthetized. A microdialysis fiber was implanted in the spinal cord dorsal horn at the L5-L6 level and perfused with artificial cerebrospinal fluid. After washout and a baseline sample period, adenosine at various concentrations was infused through the fiber for 150 min, and samples were collected every 15 min.', "In ligated, but not in sham or normal animals, adenosine perfusion increased norepinephrine in spinal cord microdialysates in a concentration-dependent manner. The effects of adenosine plateaued after 75 min and remained stable until the end of the experiment. Intravenous injection of selective adenosine A1 and A2 receptor antagonists revealed that adenosine's effect on spinal norepinephrine release was A1 receptor mediated.\Question: Does intraspinal adenosine induce spinal cord norepinephrine release in spinal nerve-ligated rats but not in normal or sham controls?
[EX A]: This is the first study to provide direct evidence that adenosine is able to release norepinephrine in spinal cord dorsal horns in living animals. However, this effect was only seen in animals after spinal nerve ligation. These data are consistent with behavioral studies demonstrating that adenosine's antinociceptive effects in rats after spinal nerve ligation is totally dependent on intact spinal noradrenergic terminals and can be blocked by spinal alpha 2-adrenergic receptor antagonists.

[EX Q]: Context: Accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) contributes to the development of diabetic ulcers. Recent evidence indicates that AGEs administration enhanced autophagy in many cell types. As a positive trigger of autophagy, the effect of AGEs on autophagy in skin tissues and fibroblasts remains unknown.', 'Skin tissues were isolated from Spreqne-Dawley rats and immunohistochemical staining was performed to analyze the location of LC3 and FOXO1 in skin tissues. Then primary cultured foreskin fibroblast cells with treated with AGEs and the effect of AGEs on autophagy was investigated. Protein level expressions of LC3, Beclin-1 and FOXO1 in fibroblasts were analyzed by Western blotting. Autophagic flux is detected with autophagy inhibitor chloroquine and mRFP-GFP-LC3 tandem construct.', 'Compared with skin from normal rats, immunohistochemical staining shows a predominant LC3 localization in fibroblasts cytoplasm in diabetic rats. Elevated expression of FOXO1 also existed in diabetic rats dermis fibroblasts when compared with normal rats in immunohistochemical analysis. In human skin fibroblasts cells, AGEs administration stimulated the autophagy related LC3-II/LC3-I and Beclin-1 expressions and increased autophagy flux. In mRFP-GFP-LC3 puncta formation assays, both autolysosome and autophagosome were increased in human fibroblasts after treatment with AGEs. Fibroblasts exposed to AGEs also have increased FOXO1 expression compared with control group.\Question: Do aGEs trigger autophagy in diabetic skin tissues and fibroblasts?
[EX A]: AGEs could induce autophagy at least in part via regulating the FOXO1 activity in diabetic skin tissues and fibroblasts.

[EX Q]: Context: We hypothesised that abnormal global longitudinal strain (GLS) would predict outcome in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) better than current echocardiographic measures.', 'Retrospective analysis of risk markers in relation to outcomes in 472 patients with HCM at a single tertiary institution (2006-2012). Exclusion criteria were left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy of other origin, patients in atrial fibrillation, lost to follow-up and insufficient image quality to perform strain analysis. Standardised echocardiogram recordings were reviewed and standard variables and LV GLS were measured. The primary end-point included all cardiac deaths, appropriate defibrillator shocks and heart failure (HF) admissions. The secondary end-point was death by HF and admissions related to HF.', "Mean age was 50.0±15.0\u2005years; 322 (68%) were men. At a median of 4.3\u2005years (IQR 0.1-7.8) follow-up, 21 (4.4%) patients experienced cardiovascular death: 6 (1.3%) died from HF, 13 (2.7%) had sudden cardiac death and 2 (0.4%) died secondary to stroke. Four (0.8%) patients experienced appropriate defibrillator shock, and 13 (2.7%) were admitted for HF. On multivariate Fine-Gray proportional hazard analyses, GLS was significantly associated with the primary end-point (HR=0.90, 95% CI 0.83 to 0.98, p=0.018) independently of age, maximal provoked LV outflow-tract gradient and LV end-systolic volume. Moreover, GLS was particularly associated with the secondary end-point (HR=0.82, 95% CI 0.75 to 0.90, p<0.0001) independently of age, previous atrial fibrillation, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III-IV, LV end-systolic volume, E/E', and outflow-tract gradient. Survival curves confirmed that GLS was associated with HF events (GLS <15.6%, p=0.0035).\Question: Is global longitudinal strain associated with heart failure outcomes in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
[EX A]:
In patients with HCM, reduced GLS is an independent factor associated with poor cardiac outcomes, and particularly HF outcomes.
