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: There is a critical need to better preserve isolated organs before transplantation. We developed a novel nonerythropoiesis cyclic helix B peptide (CHBP) derived from erythropoietin, which has potent tissue protection and prolonged serum stability. The renoprotection and potential mechanism of CHBP were evaluated in a kidney preservation model.', 'Porcine kidneys (n = 5) subjected to 20-minute warm ischemia were retrieved and flushed with hyperosmolar citrate to mimic deceased donation. The kidneys and autologous blood ± 10.56 nmol/L CHBP were placed in cold storage (CS) for 18 hours. These kidneys were then normothermically hemoreperfused for 3 hours using an isolated organ perfusion system. The renal function and structure, apoptosis, inflammation, and expression of caspase-3 and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) were assessed.', 'Cyclic helix B peptide significantly increased the renal blood flow, oxygen consumption, and urine output during reperfusion, but decreased serum potassium and renal tissue damage. Apoptotic cells were significantly decreased in the tubular areas, but increased in the lumens and interstitial areas in the post-CS and postreperfused kidneys, whereas myeloperoxidase+ cells were reduced. In addition, the expression of both caspase-3 precursor and active subunits was downregulated by CHBP in reperfused kidneys. However, HSP70 was upregulated in the post-CS and postreperfused kidneys treated with CHBP.\Question: Does cyclic Helix B Peptide in Preservation Solution and Autologous Blood Perfusate ameliorate Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Isolated Porcine Kidneys?
[EX A]: Cyclic helix B peptide administered into preservation and reperfusion solutions ameliorated renal ischemia-reperfusion injury, which might be associated with decreased apoptosis, inflammation and caspase-3, but increased HSP70. This novel preservation approach using CHBP may be applied in a porcine kidney transplant model and potential human donor kidney preservation.

[EX Q]: Context: To investigate the incidence of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery and its association with mortality in a patient population receiving ibuprofen and gentamicin perioperatively.', 'Retrospective study with Cox regression analysis to control for possible preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative confounders.', 'University hospital-based single-center study.', 'All patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting ± valve surgery during 2012.', 'None.', 'Acute surgery within 24 hours of coronary angiography, previous nephrectomy, preoperative sCr >2.26 mg/dL and selective cerebral perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass were used as exclusion criteria. Acute kidney injury was defined, using the Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) criteria. Six hundred eight patients were included in the study. Mean age was 68.2 ± 9.7 years, and 81% were males. Acute kidney injury was seen in 28.1% of the patients. Overall mortality at one year was 7% and 3% in the no-AKI group. At one year, mortality was 15% in patients with AKIN stage 1 and AKIN stage 2 compared to 70% in AKIN stage 3. A hazard ratio of 2.34 (95% CI: 1.21-4.51, p = 0.011) and 5.62 (95% CI: 2.42-13.06), p<0.0001) were found for AKIN stage 1 and 2/3 combined, respectively.\Question: Is acute kidney injury independently associated with higher mortality after cardiac surgery?
[EX A]: More than 28% of the patients undergoing elective or subacute cardiac surgery developed AKI in this contemporary cohort. Furthermore, acute kidney injury was an independent predictor of increased mortality irrespective of the perioperative risk factors.

[EX Q]: Context: Although anti-angiogenic therapy (AATx) holds great promise for treatment of malignant gliomas, its therapeutic efficacy is not well understood and can potentially increase the aggressive recurrence of gliomas. It is essential to establish sensitive, noninvasive biomarkers that can detect failure of AATx and tumor recurrence early so that timely adaptive therapy can be instituted. We investigated the efficacy of MRI biomarkers that can detect response to different classes of AATxs used alone or in combination with radiation.', 'Murine intracranial glioma xenografts (NOD/SCID) were treated with sunitinib, VEGF-trap or B20 (a bevacizumab equivalent) alone or in combination with radiation. MRI images were acquired longitudinally before and after treatment, and various MRI parameters (apparent diffusion coefficient, T1w + contrast, dynamic contrast-enhanced [DCE], initial area under the contrast enhancement curve, and cerebral blood flow) were correlated to tumor cell proliferation, overall tumor growth, and tumor vascularity.', 'Combinatorial therapies reduced tumor growth rate more efficiently than monotherapies. Apparent diffusion coefficient was an accurate measure of tumor cell density. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-trap or B20, but not sunitinib, resulted in significant reduction or complete loss of contrast enhancement. This reduction was not due to a reduction in tumor growth or microvascular density, but rather was explained by a reduction in vessel permeability and perfusion. We established that contrast enhancement does not accurately reflect tumor volume or vascular density; however, DCE-derived parameters can be used as efficient noninvasive biomarkers of response to AATx.\Question: Do mRI biomarkers identify the differential response of glioblastoma multiforme to anti-angiogenic therapy?
[EX A]:
MRI parameters following therapy vary based on class of AATx. Validation of clinically relevant MRI parameters for individual AATx agents is necessary before incorporation into routine practice.
