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.

Input: Consider Input: Context: With the advent of new and more efficient anti-androgen drugs targeting androgen receptor (AR) in breast cancer (BC) is becoming an increasingly important area of investigation. This would potentially be most useful in triple negative BC (TNBC), where better therapies are still needed. The assessment of AR status is generally performed on the primary tumor even if the tumor has already metastasized. Very little is known regarding discrepancies of AR status during tumor progression. To determine the prevalence of AR positivity, with emphasis on TNBCs, and to investigate AR status during tumor progression, we evaluated a large series of primary BCs and matching metastases and recurrences.', 'AR status was performed on 356 primary BCs, 135 matching metastases, and 12 recurrences using a next-generation Tissue Microarray (ngTMA). A commercially available AR antibody was used to determine AR-status by immunohistochemistry. AR positivity was defined as any nuclear staining in tumor cells ≥1 %. AR expression was correlated with pathological tumor features of the primary tumor. Additionally, the concordance rate of AR expression between the different tumor sites was determined.', 'AR status was positive in: 87 % (307/353) of primary tumors, 86.1 % (105/122) of metastases, and in 66.7 % (8/12) of recurrences. TNBC tested positive in 11.4 %, (4/35) of BCs. A discrepant result was seen in 4.3 % (5/117) of primary BC and matching lymph node (LN) metastases. Three AR negative primary BCs were positive in the matching LN metastasis, representing 17.6 % of all negative BCs with lymph node metastases (3/17). Two AR positive primary BCs were negative in the matching LN metastasis, representing 2.0 % of all AR positive BCs with LN metastases (2/100). No discrepancies were seen between primary BC and distant metastases or recurrence (n\u2009=\u200917).\Question: Is androgen receptor status highly conserved during tumor progression of breast cancer?

Output: Most primary (87 %) and metastasized (86.1 %) BCs are AR positive including a significant fraction of TNBCs (11.4 %). Further, AR status is highly conserved during tumor progression and a change only occurs in a small fraction (4.1 %). Our study supports the notion that targeting AR could be effective for many BC patients and that re-testing of AR status in formerly negative or mixed type BC's is recommended.


Input: Consider Input: Context: Peritoneal dialysis is complicated by mesothelial cell injury due to low biocompatibility of peritoneal dialysis fluid (PDF). We have previously demonstrated that heat shock protein (HSP)-72 is potently up-regulated in response to PDF exposure of mesothelial cells in in vitro and in vivo models of peritoneal dialysis. The aim of this study was to evaluate potential cytoprotective effects of overexpression of HSP-72.', 'Cytoprotection was assessed by comparing cellular viability between pretreated versus nonpretreated human mesothelial cells (Met 5a; ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA, and primary cell cultures) subjected to extended, usually lethal PDF exposure times (120 min, CAPD2; Fresenius, Bad Homburg, Germany). Pretreatment was performed with exposure to PDF (60 min, CAPD2; Fresenius) or heat (15 min, 41.5 degrees C), and by transient transfection with HSP-72.', 'When mesothelial cells were pretreated by nonlethal exposure to PDF or heat, HSP-72 was markedly up-regulated (>5-fold, P < 0.01). Pretreated human mesothelial cells were significantly protected against subsequent "lethal" exposures to PDF, as assessed by dye exclusion (>50% reduction, P < 0.05) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release (>30% reduction, P < 0.05). Comparable cytoprotection (50% reduction by dye exclusion) was indicated by overexpression of HSP-72 in cultered human mesothelial cells (>5-fold) after transient transfection with HSP-72. This cytoprotection was confirmed at a cellular basis by double staining techniques with HSP-72 and ApopTag (apoptosis detection kit).\Question: Does overexpression of HSP-72 confer cytoprotection in experimental peritoneal dialysis?

Output: Our study therefore shows that the mesothelial stress response confers cytoprotection in experimental peritoneal dialysis, mediated by the induction of HSP-72, and that the stimulus of the pretreatment does not have to be identical to the subsequent injury. These data offer the basis for an attractive novel therapeutic approach against PDF toxicity.


Input: Consider Input: Context: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of an intra-aortic filter on postoperative outcomes in high-risk cardiac surgical patients.', 'An intra-aortic filter was used in 316 (4.9%) of 6442 cardiac surgical cases from 2003 to 2013. A retrospective analysis of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) registry data was performed for 204 patients with filter placement who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) (n = 89), valve replacement (n = 63) or combined CABG and valve replacement (n = 52), matched with 1224 patients without filter placement by STS mortality scores based on propensity scores. Generalized linear modelling was used to compare rates of complications as well as the length of stay and time in the intensive care unit (ICU). A P-value < 0.05 was considered significant.', 'Overall, patients with filters before matching had a significantly higher risk of death than did the patients without filters: 12.0% of patients with filters had an STS mortality risk score ≥4 vs 7.7% of patients without filters (P = 0.027). After analysis of the composite end-point of all STS major morbidities, the matched filter group had fewer overall complications (6.8 vs 13.2%, P = 0.02). The rate of postoperative respiratory failure was lower in the filter group (2.5 vs 7.0%, P = 0.01). Rates of stroke and new-onset haemodialysis, while not statistically different, were almost 50% lower in the filter group. Length of stay in the hospital and in the ICU was not significantly different; however, in patients with postoperative complications, time in the ICU (163 vs 189 h, P = 0.02) was shorter for the filter patients.\Question: Does selective use of the intra-aortic filter in high-risk cardiac surgical patients lead to better postoperative outcomes?


Output: The use of the intra-aortic filter reduces postoperative complications after cardiac surgery and should be considered for use in high-risk cases.
