question:
Question: Are cXXC4 mRNA levels associated with clinicopathological parameters and survival of myelodysplastic syndrome patients?
Answer: This study demonstrated that the age of patients and levels of CXXC4 mRNA, hemoglobin, and marrow blast associated with survival of MDS patients.
answer:
yes


question:
Question: Does extended pattern prostate biopsy minimize the volume-grade bias in prostate cancer detection?
Answer: Although more high grade cancers are detected with extended pattern biopsy, there is no differential upgrading with respect to prostate volume. Based on these observations extended prostate sampling in trials of agents that decrease prostate volume would have minimal impact on volume-grade associations.
answer:
no


question:
Question: Does local somatothermal stimulation inhibit motility of the internal anal sphincter through nitrergic neural release of nitric oxide?
Answer: Local somatothermal stimulation inhibits internal anal sphincter motility through the activation of nonadrenergic noncholinergic neural release of nitric oxide. This procedure may represent a simplified approach for the treatment of anorectal diseases with hypofunction of the L-arginine/nitric oxide pathway. [Key words: Local somatothermal stimulation; Nitric oxide; Internal anal sphincter; Motility; Moxibustion] Jiang J-K, Chiu J-H, Lin J-K. Local somatothermal stimulation inhibits motility of the internal anal sphincter through nitrergic neural release of nitric oxide.
answer:

yes
