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.

To determine the prognostic role of co-morbidity in medically inoperable early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).', "Between 2000 and 2007, 88 consecutive early-stage medically inoperable NSCLC patients were treated by linac-based SBRT. The dose was either 45 Gy or 67.5 Gy in three fractions prescribed to the isocenter. Baseline co-morbidities were retrospectively retrieved by consultation of a formal electronic registry of diagnoses as well as patients' charts. The age-adjusted Charlson Co-morbidity Index (CCI) was scored for each patient and subjected to univariate and multivariate analysis.", 'With a median follow-up of 44 months, the actuarial local control rate at 4 years was 89% while the median overall survival was 22 months. The median age-adjusted CCI score was 5. The age-adjusted CCI was a significant predictor of overall survival on both univariate (p=0.002) and multivariate analysis (p=0.011). Patients with an age-adjusted CCI score of 3 or less had a median survival of 41 months versus only 11 months for those scoring 6 or more.

The present study was designed to investigate whether H2S can protect testicular germ cells against heat exposure induced injury and the underlying mechanisms.', 'It was found that all three H2S generating enzymes, cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), cystathionine γ-lysase (CSE), and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3 MST), were expressed in mouse testicular tissue. Three episodes of heat exposure (42 °C, 30 min/day, 3 days) significantly decreased endogenous H2S production and down-regulated the expression of CBS and CSE in testes. In primary cultured testicular germ cells, exogenous application of NaHS (an H2S donor) attenuated heat stress (42 °C, 30 min) induced cell death and apoptosis. This was mediated by the inhibitory effects of H2S on cytochrome C release and the ratio of the Bax/Bcl-2. NaHS also improved mitochondrial function by decreasing oxygen consumption and increasing ATP production. NaHS treatment also stimulated SOD activity and reduced ROS production.

Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) impairs host immunocompetence, a mechanism possibly underlying the high morbidity of infectious complications in critically ill patients. Our recent study demonstrated TPN to reduce the number and function of hepatic mononuclear cells (MNCs) and to worsen survival after intraportal Pseudomonas challenge in mice. The present study examined the duration of enteral nutrition (EN) needed to reverse TPN-induced changes in hepatic MNCs in a murine model.', 'Male ICR mice (6 weeks) received 5 days of TPN followed by 0 (TPN), 12 (EN12), 24 (EN24), 48 (EN48) or 72 (EN72)h of chow feeding. Control mice (Control) were given chow with intravenous saline infusions for 5 days. After nutritional support, hepatic MNCs were isolated and counted. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) receptor expressions (CD14 and TLR4/MD2) on Kupffer cells were analyzed by flowcytometry. In addition, TPN, EN12, EN48 and control mice were given intraportal Pseudomonas challenge and survival was monitored.', 'The TPN group was significantly lower in hepatic MNC number and LPS receptor expressions than the Control group. However, EN quickly reversed TPN-induced hepatic impairments in MNC loss within 12h, CD14 expression within 48 h and TLR4/MD2 expression within 24h. Survival of the EN48 group was significantly improved as compared with the TPN and EN12 groups.
