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: To explore the antitumor effect of prescription consisting of Vitamin C (Vc) and Baicalin (PVB).', 'To explore the antitumor effect of PVB, using U14 cervical tumor-bearing mice model was used and the drugs were administrated through the gavages. Spectrophotometry was used to determine the content of superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and cytokines IL-2, Il-4 and IFN-γ.', 'PVB had a better antitumor effect than baicalin and Vc used alone with an inhibition rate of 58.18% (p<0.05); PVB significantly improved the spleen index (p<0.01), and significantly reduced MDA content (p<0.01) but increased SOD activity in liver tissue and serum (p<0.01).

Input: Consider Input: Endothelin receptor antagonists improve pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Mutations in the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) type 2 receptor (BMPR2) predispose to PAH. Here, we sought to determine whether there might exist interactions between these 2 signaling pathways and their effect on the acquisition of the altered phenotype of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PA-SMCs) observed in PAH.', 'Expression of BMPR2, of the BMP agonist BMP4, and of the BMP antagonists gremlin1 and gremlin2 was evaluated in lungs and in PA-SMCs from 6 PAH patients and 14 controls treated with endothelin-1. Endothelin-1 pre-treated PA-SMCs were assessed for proliferation, apoptosis, and downstream signaling activation of Smad1/5/8 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38(MAPK)) after BMP2 treatment.', 'In PA-SMCs from PAH patients, expression of BMPR2 and BMP4 decreased, whereas expression of gremlin1 and gremlin2 increased compared with controls. Treatment of control PA-SMCs with endothelin-1 induced a dose-dependent increase in gremlin1 and gremlin2, whereas BMPR2 and BMP4 expression decreased, reaching similar levels as those observed in PAH cells. In control PA-SMCs, endothelin-1 pre-treatment reduced inhibitor of DNA binding 1 (Id1) expression and Smad1/5/8 activation induced by BMP2, whereas it enhanced p38(MAPK) activation. Moreover, BMP2 decreased serum-induced proliferation and increased the pro-apoptotic Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. These effects were attenuated by endothelin-1 pre-treatment. Endothelin-1 did not alter BMPR2 signaling in PA-SMCs from PAH patients.

Input: Consider Input: Experimentally, arginine enhances immune function and promotes wound healing. In this randomized double-blind study we investigated the effect of oral arginine supplementation on wound healing and T-cell function in elderly human beings (more than 65 years of age).', 'Thirty elderly, healthy, human volunteers (15 men and 15 women) received daily supplements of 30 gm arginine aspartate (17 gm free arginine). Fifteen volunteers (nine men and six women) received a placebo syrup. Fibroplastic wound responses were assessed by inserting a polytetrafluoroethylene catheter subcutaneously into the right deltoid region. Epithelialization was examined by creating a 2 x 2 cm split thickness wound on the lateral aspect of the upper thigh. Mitogenic response of peripheral blood lymphocytes to concanavalin A, phytohemagglutinin, pokeweed mitogen, and allogeneic stimuli was assayed at the beginning and end of supplementation. Polytetrafluoroethylene catheters were analyzed for alpha-amino nitrogen (assessment of total protein accumulation), hydroxyproline (index of reparative collagen synthesis), and DNA accumulation (index of cellular infiltration).', 'Arginine supplementation for 2 weeks significantly enhanced wound catheter hydroxyproline accumulation (26.49 +/- 2.39 nmol/cm vs 17.41 +/- 2.04 nmol/cm) and total protein content (43.47 +/- 3.85 micrograms/cm vs 21.95 +/- 2.5 micrograms/cm). Arginine did not influence the DNA content of the catheters or the rate of epithelialization of the skin defect. Peripheral blood lymphocyte responses to mitogenic and allogenic stimulation were greater in the arginine supplemented group. Serum insulin-like growth factor-1 levels were significantly elevated in the arginine group.
