TASK DEFINITION: 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.
PROBLEM: Context: Chlorophyllin (CHL) was proved to have strong anti-inducement effect toward many mutagens and epicarcinogens. This study was to explore effect of CHL in preventing colon neoplasms in mice induced by dimethylhydrazine (DMH), and the selective inhibition on cyclooxygenase 2(COX-2).', 'The colorectal neoplasms were induced with DMH in mice and the different dose of CHL were administered in different phases, then the prevention of colorectal neoplasms by CHL was examined; The IC50 and growth curve of HT29 cells were measured with MTT method after treated with CHL; The effect of CHL on the expression of COX-1 mRNA and COX-2 mRNA in HT29 cells were measured with RT-PCR method; The effect of CHL on the expression of COX-2 protein and NF-kappaB protein were measured with western blot and immunohistochemistry methods.', 'The incidence of colon cancer, average tumor amount, and percentage of carcinoma in CHL group were significantly lower than those in DMH group (P< .05); CHL could inhibit the growth of HT29 cells. The effects were dose dependent; CHL could selectively inhibit the expression of COX-2mRNA in HT29 cells,the expression of COX-2 protein in colon neoplasms and HT29 cells, and the expression of NF-kappaB protein in colon neoplasms.\Question: Do [ CHL prevent colon neoplasms in mice and its selective inhibition on COX-2 ]?

SOLUTION: CHL could prevent colon neoplasms in mice induced by DMH and the preventive effect related to selective inhibition on COX-2, furthermore, the inhibition of CHL on COX-2 was realized by inhibiting NF-kappaB protein.

PROBLEM: Context: To determine the extent of genetic variation among internationally collected HIV-1 isolates, to analyse phylogenetic relationships and the geographic distribution of different variants.', 'Phylogenetic comparison of 70 HIV-1 isolates collected in 15 countries on four continents.', 'To sequence the complete gag genome of HIV-1 isolates, build multiple sequence alignments and construct phylogenetic trees using distance matrix methods and maximum parsimony algorithms.', 'Phylogenetic tree analysis identified seven distinct genotypes. The seven genotypes were evident by both distance matrix methods and maximum parsimony analysis, and were strongly supported by bootstrap resampling of the data. The intra-genotypic gag distances averaged 7%, whereas the inter-genotypic distances averaged 14%. The geographic distribution of variants was complex. Some genotypes have apparently migrated to several continents and many areas harbor a mixture of genotypes. Related variants may cluster in certain areas, particularly isolates from a single city collected over a short time.\Question: Does phylogenetic analysis of gag genes from 70 international HIV-1 isolates provide evidence for multiple genotypes?

SOLUTION: The genetic variation among HIV-1 isolates is more extensive than previously appreciated. At least seven distinct HIV-1 genotypes can be identified. Diversification, migration and establishment of local, temporal 'blooms' of particular variants may all occur concomitantly.

PROBLEM: Context: To determine if patients with pathological, medical renal disease, defined as evidence of pathological abnormalities indicative of renal damage in the non-neoplastic partial nephrectomy specimens, have worsened functional outcomes following robot-assisted partial nephrectomy.', 'Sixty patients with and 101 without pathologically proven renal disease on non-neoplastic renal specimens were evaluated for differences in postoperative outcomes following robot-assisted partial nephrectomy. Multiple linear regression modeling assessed for factors influencing early and late declines in renal function.', 'The two groups were similar in all preoperative parameters. Both patients with and without pathological renal disease had similar lengths of hospitalization, transfusions, and complication rates. The percent change in glomerular filtration rate was similar for patients with and without pathological renal disease (-8.8% vs. -12.2%, p=0.194). Patients with pathological renal disease had less chronic kidney disease upstaging than patients without renal disease (18.3% vs. 39.6%, p=0.006). Increasing age (p=0.030) and higher preoperative glomerular filtration rates (p=0.044) predicted worse late percentage declines in renal function, while increased warm ischemia time predicted late chronic kidney disease upstaging (p=0.043).\Question: Do patients with Pathologically Proven Renal Disease Have Similar Declines in Renal Function Following Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy?

SOLUTION:
The presence of pathological renal disease in non-neoplastic renal tissue did not place patients at risk for worsened postoperative complications or renal function deterioration following robot-assisted partial nephrectomy.
