Example Input: Context: del(17p), del(11q), and associated p53 dysfunction predict for short survival and chemoresistance in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) is activated by DNA damage and mediates DNA double-strand break repair. We hypothesized that inhibiting DNA-PK would sensitize CLL cells to drug-induced DNA damage and that this approach could increase the therapeutic index of agents used to treat CLL.', 'Fifty-four CLL cases were characterized for poor prognosis markers [del(17p), del(11q), CD38, and ZAP-70]. In selected cases, DNA-PK catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) expression and activity and p53 function were also measured. Ex vivo viability assays established sensitivity to fludarabine and chlorambucil and also tested the ability of a novel DNA-PK inhibitor (NU7441) to sensitize CLL cells to these drugs. The effects of NU7441 on fludarabine-induced DNA damage repair were also assessed (Comet assays and detection of gammaH2AX).', 'DNA-PKcs levels correlated with DNA-PK activity and varied 50-fold between cases but were consistently higher in del(17p) (P = 0.01) and del(11q) cases. NU7441 sensitized CLL cells to chlorambucil and fludarabine, including cases with del(17p), del(11q), p53 dysfunction, or high levels of DNA-PKcs. NU7441 increased fludarabine-induced double-strand breaks and abrogated drug-induced autophosphorylation of DNA-PKcs at Ser2056. High DNA-PK levels predicted for reduced treatment-free interval.
Answer: These data validate the concept of targeting DNA-PKcs in poor risk CLL, and demonstrate a mechanistic rationale for use of a DNA-PK inhibitor. The novel observation that DNA-PKcs is overexpressed in del(17p) and del(11q) cases indicates that DNA-PK may contribute to disease progression in CLL.
Example Output: Is dNA-dependent protein kinase a therapeutic target and an indicator of poor prognosis in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia?

Example Input: Context: Clusterin (CLU) /Apolipoprotein J is a protein biosensor of oxidative stress and inflammation, which is upregulated in many pathological processes including atherosclerosis. Previous studies have shown that in aortic tissue, CLU expression increases with atherosclerotic lesion progression and it has been coupled with vascular damage and coronary artery disease. A few studies enter into CLU and carotid atherosclerosis while the apolipoprotein's expression on human carotid tissue and its association with parameters related to the disease development has not been examined. The present study was designed to reveal the relationships between the degree of CLU immunolocalization on carotid artery and demographic characteristics, blood parameters and pharmacological treatment of patients underwent internal carotid artery endarterectomy.", "CLU expression was detected by immunohistochemistry in 42 carotid endarterectomy specimens. Patients' serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), interleukin-6 (IL-6), high sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and classical parameters related to atherosclerosis such as lipid profile, as well as thrombosis related parameters such as fibrinogen, antithrombin III, protein C and protein S were determined. Demographic characteristics, smoking habits and the use of medications were recorded. Comparisons between groups were performed by students't-test and analysis of variance. Independent associations with CLU expression on carotid tissue were denoted by linear regression analysis.", 'CLU imuunolocalization was denser in smokers than in non-smokers (p\u2009=\u20090.041) while it was rarefied in specimens of patients on cropidogrel treatment (p\u2009=\u20090.045) compared to the rest not taking this medication. Clopidogrel intake was independent predictor of lower CLU expression on carotid artery (p =0.045). CLU was positively correlated with serum TNF-a concentration (r\u2009=\u20090.33, p\u2009=\u20090.040) that was independent predictor of higher expression of the apolipoprotein (p\u2009=\u20090.001). IL-6, hsCRP and classical parameters related to atherosclerosis and thrombosis were not associated with CLU immunolocalization.
Answer: Our study suggests that CLU expression on carotid artery is affected by TNF-alpha, cigarette smoking confirming its association with oxidative and cellular stress and anti-platelet medication reflecting the protective effects of such pharmacological treatment on vascular wall.
Example Output: Is clusterin/Apolipoprotein J immunolocalization on carotid artery affected by TNF-alpha , cigarette smoking and anti-platelet treatment?

Example Input: Context: Total blood homocysteine (Hcys) and folate levels have been investigated in association with cognitive dysfunction in healthy but not in multimorbid elderly patients. We hypothesized that total serum Hcys is an adequate marker to identify multimorbid elderly patients with cognitive dysfunction assessed by the Short Cognitive Performance Test (SKT) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).', 'Cross-sectional study.', 'The study center was an acute geriatric hospital.', 'A total of 189 multimorbid elderly patients were recruited.', 'Cognitive dysfunction was determined according to the SKT and MMSE. Biochemical parameters (Hcys, folate, vitamin B12, hemoglobin), nutritional status (BMI, Mini Nutritional Assessment, nutritional intake), and activities of daily living were assessed.', 'According to the SKT, 25.4% of patients showed no cerebral cognitive dysfunction, 21.2% had suspected incipient cognitive dysfunction, 12.7% showed mild cognitive dysfunction, 9.0% had moderate cognitive dysfunction, and 31.7% of patients were demented. The median plasma Hcys value was elevated by approximately 20% in multimorbid elderly patients, independent of cognitive dysfunction. Serum folate and vitamin B12 concentrations were within normal ranges. We did not find significant differences in nutritional status, activities of daily living, numbers of diseases or medications, or selected biochemical parameters between the SKT groups.
Answer: Elevated serum Hcys levels with normal plasma folate and vitamin B12 concentrations were observed in multimorbid elderly patients. The plasma Hcys level did not appear to be an important biological risk factor for cognitive dysfunction in multimorbid geriatric patients.
Example Output:
Do total serum homocysteine levels identify cognitive dysfunction in multimorbid elderly patients?
