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: Parenting practices can reduce how much television (TV) children watch. This study evaluated the longitudinal association between maternal regulation of TV content and the amount of TV watched by low-income ethnic minority children.', 'This was a secondary data analysis of the Welfare, Children & Families: A Three City Study. Data were used from ethnic minority mothers with a child from birth to 4 years old, collected over two waves approximately 16 months apart. The dependent variable was the amount of TV watched by the child (wave two). The main independent variable was the maternal regulation of TV content (wave one). Using multiple linear regression, we evaluated the relationship between maternal regulation of TV content and the amount of TV watched by the child, adjusting for covariates.', 'Of the 835 mothers, 71% were high content regulators and 8% reported no content regulation. Children whose mothers reported no regulation watched more TV approximately 16 months later than those whose mothers reported high regulation of content (β = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.09-1.73).\Question: Do young low-income ethnic minority children watch less television when their mothers regulate what they are viewing?

Output: Our findings suggest that regulating content influences viewing amounts in young children approximately 16 months later. Interventions focused on heightening parental regulation of content may improve content and diminish viewing amounts.


Input: Consider Input: Context: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) was recently proposed as a novel adipokine linked to insulin resistance (IR). As IR represents a cluster of disorders in hepatic and muscle cell insulin signalisation, we aimed to assess the possible correlation between fasting serum DPP4 activity, IR and liver enzymes in order to elucidate the question of hepatic contribution to serum DPP4 activity.', 'This cross-sectional study comprised 44 T1DM patients aged 18 to 65years. IR was estimated using the equation derived from euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp studies-estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR). DPP4 serum activity was determined spectrophotometrically as a rate of cleavage of 7-amino-4-methyl coumarin (AMC) from H-Gly-Pro-AMC. The patients were divided into two groups according to the mean value of fasting serum DPP4 activity (31.42U/L).', 'The group with lower fasting serum DPP4 activity had lower mean rate of liver biomarkers alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (p=0.001) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (p=0.002) while higher eGDR (p=0.003) compared to group with higher DPP4 activity. DPP4 activity showed positive correlation with AST (r=0.358, p=0.017) and ALT (r=0.364, p=0.015) while negative correlation with eGDR (r=-0.612, p<0.001). ALT remained positively associated with fasting serum DPP4 activity after controlling for age, gender, diabetes duration, the use of statins and antihypertensives (p=0.025).\Question: Is fasting serum dipeptidyl peptidase-4 activity independently associated with alanine aminotransferase in type 1 diabetic patients?

Output: Fasting serum DPP4 activity might be associated with hepatic IR in T1DM patients and a part of soluble DPP4 activity might be of a hepatic origin. Further study investigation is warranted to elucidate this topic.


Input: Consider Input: Context: Apoptosis occurring during ischaemia /reperfusion contributes independently to tissue damage, and involves activation of the stress-kinase, p38 MAPK during reperfusion. Ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) protects against ischaemia/reperfusion mediated necrosis and apoptosis. The role of p38 MAPK in the protective effect of preconditioning against apoptosis is unknown. Pharmacologic preconditioning with isoproterenol (beta-PC) also protects against necrosis, but it is not known whether it protects against apoptosis.', 'The aim of the study was to investigate whether the protective effect of IPC against apoptosis is related to activation of p38 MAPK and whether beta-PC also protects against apoptosis.', 'Isolated perfused rat hearts were used to study the effect of ischaemia and reperfusion on apoptosis and infarct size. Ischaemic preconditioning was elicited by 3 x 5 min global ischaemia, and beta-PC by 5 min isoproterenol 10(-7) M. For infarct size hearts were subjected to regional ischaemia for 35 min followed by 120 min reperfusion. Infarct size was determined by the tetrazolium staining technique, and expressed as percentage of area at risk. For markers of apoptosis hearts were subjected to global ischaemia of 25 min plus 30 min reperfusion. Apoptosis was determined by Western blot using antibodies against caspase-3 and PARP. p38 MAPK activation was inhibited by SB203580 (1 microM) administration 10 min prior to commencing ischaemia, and bracketing the IPC and beta-PC preconditioning protocols. p38 MAPK was activated by administration of anisomycin (5 microM) 10 min prior to index ischaemia in one protocol, and 10 min during reperfusion in non-preconditioned as well as IPC and beta-PC hearts. Results were analysed using ANOVA and a Newman-Keuls post-hoc test.', 'In the apoptosis model using global ischaemia, IPC and beta-PC both resulted in a significant decrease in p38 MAPK activation at the end of reperfusion when compared to non-preconditioned hearts. This was accompanied by a significant decrease in apoptosis as measured with both caspase-3 activation and PARP cleavage. Inhibiting p38 MAPK by administration of SB203580 10 min prior to ischaemia resulted in a significant reduction in both markers of apoptosis. Bracketing the triggering phase of either IPC or beta-PC with SB203580 resulted in attenuated p38 MAPK activation during reperfusion and did not abolish the protective effect of IPC or beta-PC against apoptosis. Activating p38 MAPK with anisomycin prior to ischaemia resulted in a reduction of markers of apoptosis, whereas activation of p38 MAPK with anisomycin during reperfusion did not exacerbate apoptosis in any groups, exept for an increase in PARP cleavage in IPC hearts. In the model of regional ischaemia, IPC and beta-PC reduced infarct size significantly, and to the same extent as inhibition of p38 MAPK by administration of SB203580 10 min prior to ischaemia. Bracketing the triggering phase of either IPC or beta-PC did not abolish the reduction in infarct size. Activating p38 MAPK during reperfusion was accompanied by an increase in infarct size only in IPC hearts, but not in beta-PC hearts.\Question: Is inhibition of myocardial apoptosis by ischaemic and beta-adrenergic preconditioning dependent on p38 MAPK?


Output: These results indicate that (1) Both IPC and beta-PC elicit protection against apoptosis and necrosis, (2) activation of p38 MAPK is not a trigger of preconditioning against apoptosis and necrosis and (3) activation of p38 MAPK during reperfusion increases necrosis only if ischaemia is used to precondition hearts, but not with pharmacologic preconditioning with isoproterenol.
