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.

Context: Although meperidine is an effective treatment of postanesthetic shivering, its mechanism of action remains unknown. Investigation of other drugs might help clarify the mechanisms by which shivering can be controlled. Accordingly, we investigated the efficacy of clonidine, an alpha 2-adrenergic agonist, and ketanserin, a 5-hydroxytryptamine antagonist, in treating postanesthetic shivering.', 'First, 54 patients shivering after general anesthesia were allocated randomly to receive an intravenous bolus of saline, 150 micrograms clonidine, or 10 mg ketanserin. A second study explored the dose-dependence of clonidine. Forty shivering patients were given saline or clonidine, 37.5, 75, or 150 micrograms.', 'The duration of shivering was significantly shorter in those given clonidine (2.1 +/- 0.9 min) than in the other two groups and shorter in the ketanserin group (4.3 +/- 0.9 min) than in the saline group (12.0 +/- 1.6 min). Clonidine and ketanserin significantly decreased systolic arterial blood pressure when compared to saline. Core rewarming was significantly slower in the clonidine group. In the second study, 37.5 micrograms clonidine was no more effective than saline. Two minutes after treatment, 150 micrograms obliterated shivering in all patients. Five minutes after treatment, all patients given 75 micrograms had stopped shivering. Systolic arterial pressure and heart rate decreased significantly in patients given 75 and 150 micrograms clonidine.\Question: Are clonidine and ketanserin both effective treatment for postanesthetic shivering?
Clonidine (150 micrograms) and ketanserin (10 mg) both are effective treatment for postanesthetic shivering. The effect of clonidine on shivering is dose-dependent: whereas 37.5 micrograms had no effect, 75 micrograms clonidine stopped shivering within 5 min.

Context: Animal models for hepatic metastases can facilitate the investigation of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cell-based immunotherapy. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of ccM4 antibody-targeted LAK cells in inhibiting hepatic micrometastases.', 'Hepatic micrometastases were generated after the intrasplenic injection of HM7 colon carcinoma cells. TAG72 expression was detected in these hepatic micrometastases using ccM4 antibody. The ccM4 antibody was conjugated onto LAK cells by treatment with 17.5% polyethylene glycol 8000. After the intrasplenic injection of HM7 cells, severe combined immunodeficient mice were randomized into five groups (i-v) and received either 10(7) ccM4-LAK cells plus 1000 U interleukin 2 (IL-2; group i), LAK cells plus 50 micrograms ccM4 and IL-2 (group ii), LAK cells plus IL-2 (group iii), IL-2 alone (group iv), or only phosphate-buffered saline (group v).', 'The ccM4-LAK cells retained cytolytic activity and acquired TAG72-binding reactivity. The results showed that group i had significantly fewer hepatic metastases compared with group ii or group iii (P < 0.05) and even fewer hepatic metastases compared with group iv or group v (P < 0.001).\Question: Do antibody-targeted lymphokine-activated killer cells inhibit liver micrometastases in severe combined immunodeficient mice?
These results show that ccM4 antibody-targeted LAK cells significantly inhibited tumor growth in vivo; thus, they can be potentially useful in treatment of hepatic micrometastases.

Context: The anti-inflammatory effect of low-dose radiotherapy (LD-RT) still is not understood. The adhesion of leukocytes to endothelial cells (EC) of the vessel wall is the initial event of tissue invasion, and thus, crucially contributes to the regulation of inflammation. We investigated the influence of LD-RT on the adhesion process in vitro.', 'Isolated peripheral-blood-mononuclear-cells (PBMC) were incubated with an activated murine endothelioma cell-line under shear conditions at 4 degrees C after irradiation with single doses between 0.1 and 10.0 Gy. Adherent cells were counted microscopically and compared to a non-irradiated control. In parallel, viability and expression of adhesion molecules, especially of L-selectin, and lineage-specific markers on the cell surface were determined by dye exclusion and cytofluorometry, respectively. Modulation of adhesion by soluble L-selectin was tested in the adhesion assay.', 'Radiation doses of 0.1-0.5 Gy reduced the adhesion of viable PBMC to EC in vitro by 70% of the control level 4 h after irradiation. Leukocytes showed a marked reduction of L-selectin expression after LD-RT. Soluble L-selectin can inhibit the adhesion of PBMC to EC.\Question: Does low-dose radiotherapy selectively reduce adhesion of peripheral blood mononuclear cells to endothelium in vitro?

The anti-inflammatory effect of LD-RT might, in part, be due to the reduction in the adhesion of PBMC to EC. This reduction in adhesion might be a consequence of the reduced expression of L-selectin on the surface of PBMC, and the inhibition of adherence by soluble L-selectin shed by PBMC in vitro.
