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: Patient-prosthesis mismatch has been identified as a risk factor for mortality after aortic valve replacement and for structural valve deterioration (SVD) in patients receiving a bioprosthetic aortic valve. The aim of the present study was to compare the incidence of aortic valve bioprosthesis replacement for SVD in patients with mismatch to a population without mismatch.', 'Three hundred eighty-seven adult patients who underwent aortic valve replacement with a bioprosthesis from 1974 to 2009 were retrospectively reviewed. Mismatch was considered to be present if the anticipated indexed effective orifice area was <0.70\u2009cm(2) /m(2) . The median follow-up period was 7.2 years. Follow-up was 97% complete.', "Patient-prosthesis mismatch was present in 12% of the study population (n\u2009=\u200947). Ten-year freedom from reoperation for aortic bioprosthesis replacement was 74.3\u2009±\u20093.2%. During follow-up, 111 patients underwent reoperation for aortic bioprosthesis replacement. Causes of aortic bioprosthesis replacement were SVD of the bioprosthesis (n\u2009=\u200996), paravalvular leak (n\u2009=\u200910), and acute endocarditis (n\u2009=\u20095). According to unadjusted Kaplan-Meier analysis, patients with mismatch had a higher incidence of aortic bioprosthesis replacement for SVD when compared with patients without mismatch (log rank test: p 0.05). This result was confirmed by multivariable Cox regression analysis, which identified two independent predictors of aortic bioprosthesis replacement for SVD: patients' age (hazard ratio (HR) 0.967) and patient-prosthesis mismatch (HR 2.161).\Question: Does patient-prosthesis mismatch in patients undergoing bioprosthetic aortic valve implantation increase risk of reoperation for structural valve deterioration?

Output: Patients suffering from mismatch were twice as likely to undergo reoperation for aortic bioprosthesis replacement for SVD than those without mismatch.


Input: Consider Input: Context: Recent studies have identified MUC4 mucin as a ligand for activation of ErbB2, a receptor tyrosine kinase that modulates epithelial cell proliferation following epithelial damage in airways of asthmatics. In this study, we investigated the potential role of IL-4, one of the Th2 inflammatory cytokines persistent in asthmatic airways, in regulating MUC4 expression using a cell line NCI-H650.', 'Real time PCR analysis was performed to determine concentration and time dependent effects of IL-4 upon MUC4 expression. Nuclear run on experiments were carried out to explore potential transcriptional modulation. Western blotting experiments using a monoclonal antibody specific to ASGP-2 domain of MUC4 were performed to analyze MUC4 glycoprotein levels in plasma membrane fractions. To analyze potential signal transduction cascades, IL-4 treated confluent cultures were co-incubated, separately with a pan-JAK inhibitor, a JAK-3 selective inhibitor or a MEK-1, 2 (MAPK) inhibitor at various concentrations before MUC4 transcript analysis. Corresponding transcription factor activation was tested by western blotting using a monoclonal p-STAT-6 antibody.', 'MUC4 levels increased in a concentration and time specific fashion reaching peak expression at 2.5 ng/ml and 8 h. Nuclear run on experiments revealed transcriptional enhancement. Corresponding increases in MUC4 glycoprotein levels were observed in plasma membrane fractions. Pan-JAK inhibitor revealed marked reduction in IL-4 stimulated MUC4 levels and JAK3 selective inhibitor down-regulated MUC4 mRNA expression in a concentration-dependent fashion. In accordance with the above observations, STAT-6 activation was detected within 5 minutes of IL-4 stimulus. No effect in MUC4 levels was observed on using a MAPK inhibitor.\Question: Is iL-4 induced MUC4 enhancement in respiratory epithelial cells in vitro mediated through JAK-3 selective signaling?

Output: These observations signify a potential role for IL-4 in MUC4 up-regulation in airway epithelia.


Input: Consider Input: Context: Although stress myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) can be used to detect coronary stenosis, its efficacy relative to other methods, such as detection of wall-motion abnormalities, remains unknown. Thus, the goal of this study was to compare the sensitivity of MCE versus wall-motion abnormality detection in the assessment of coronary artery stenosis.', 'Nine dogs with severe but nonflow limiting stenosis in the circumflex coronary artery underwent evaluation with real-time MCE along the short-axis view during infusion of Optison. The equation of y = a (1 - e -betat ) + c, which fits the replenishment curve of MCE, was calculated in the midseptum (normal region) and in the lateral wall (ischemic region) before and during adenosine triphosphate infusion. Wall-motion abnormalities were also evaluated by visual assessment and by measurement of wall thickening.', 'Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve in beta- and A x beta-value, and percent wall thickening, was 0.963, 0.963, and 0.889, respectively, indicating that the diagnostic accuracy for detecting the coronary artery stenosis by real-time MCE was higher than that by the wall-motion assessment.\Question: Does adenosine triphosphate stress myocardial contrast echocardiography detect coronary artery stenosis with greater sensitivity than wall-motion abnormality measurements?


Output: Real-time MCE has higher sensitivity in detecting coronary stenosis during adenosine triphosphate stress test when compared with wall-motion assessment.
