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.

[EX Q]: Increased apoptosis has recently been reported in the heart of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs).', 'To investigate the molecular basis of apoptosis in the left ventricle of SHRs in terms of the expression of Bcl-2 protein (which protects from apoptosis) and Bax protein (which acts as an apoptotic promoter). In addition, we analysed the involvement of alpha -adrenergic receptors in the left ventricular apoptosis of SHRs.', 'The study was performed in untreated SHRs (n=16) and SHRs that were orally treated with doxazosin (10 mg/kg body weight per day, for 15 days), a selective alpha1-receptor blocker (n=16). A group of Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats (n=16) was used as the control.', 'The left ventricles of untreated SHRs showed a significant increase in Bcl-2 protein expression and a reduced presence of Bax protein. The ratio of Bcl-2:Bax in SHRs was higher than in WKY rats, suggesting an anti-apoptotic state. Paradoxically, both the number of apoptotic cardiac cells and the cleavage of an 85-kDa fragment of the poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), a marker of caspase-3 activity, were higher in the left ventricle of SHRs than in WKY rats, suggesting an apoptotic situation. Bax promotes cell apoptosis when it is bound to Bcl-2. We then determined the abundance of Bax-Bcl-2 complexes in the left ventricle of the two groups of animals. Bax-Bcl-2 complexes were more abundant in SHRs than WKY rats. In a second set of experiments, we analysed the role of alpha1-adrenergic blockade by doxazosin in the above-described mechanisms. Doxazosin treatment reduced the formation of Bax-Bcl-2 complexes in the left ventricle of SHRs, and this was accompanied by a decrease in the levels of 85kDa PARP and a reduction in apoptotic left ventricular cells.

[EX Q]: The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of low-energy femoral insufficiency fractures in elderly patients.', 'The study retrospectively evaluated the clinical course of 4 patients with low-energy femoral shaft and subtrochanteric fractures admitted to our department between 2009 and 2011. Three patients had prior long-term alendronate therapy and one had prior glucocorticoid therapy.', 'There were 5 femoral shaft fractures, 2 incomplete shaft fractures, 2 subtrochanteric and 1 intertrochanteric fractures. All femoral shaft fractures had characteristic fracture patterns with thickened lateral cortices at the proximal fragment. Six femurs had excessive medial femoral bowing, which complicated intramedullary nailing. Additional fractures were seen on both femurs of one patient who had been primarily treated with short implants. A bifocal femoral fracture was seen in one femur. Union was achieved in all patients. Two patients were able to walk independently, one with a cane and one with double crutches.

[EX Q]: Potent antitumor responses can be induced through cytokine immunotherapy. Interleukin (IL)-2 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) are among the most effective cytokines to induce tumor-specific systemic immune responses and can act synergistically. To overcome the limitations of combined use of these two cytokines, we have constructed an IL2-GMCSF fusion protein and characterized its antitumor effects in this study.', 'The expression of IL-2 receptor and GM-CSF receptor of cell lines were detected with quantitative real-time PCR. On this basis, the bioactivities of IL2-GMCSF, especially effects on DC2.4 cells were assayed. Another function of IL2-GMCSF-bridge two types of cells-was assessed by cell contact counting and cytotoxicity assays. The anti-tumor activity in vivo of IL2-GMCSF was evaluated in the melanoma model. The statistical significance among treatment groups were determined by One-Way ANOVA.', 'The fusion protein IL2-GMCSF maintained the activities of IL-2 and GM-CSF, and could significantly promote DC2.4 cell activities, including phagocytosis, proliferation and cytokine secretion. In addition to the inherent cytokine activity, IL2-GMCSF bridges direct cell-cell interactions and enhances splenocyte killing efficacy against multiple tumor cell lines in vitro. Co-injection of IL2-GMCSF and inactivated B16F10 mouse melanoma cells induced complete immunoprotective responses in about 30 % of mice.
