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: There is a critical need to better preserve isolated organs before transplantation. We developed a novel nonerythropoiesis cyclic helix B peptide (CHBP) derived from erythropoietin, which has potent tissue protection and prolonged serum stability. The renoprotection and potential mechanism of CHBP were evaluated in a kidney preservation model.', 'Porcine kidneys (n = 5) subjected to 20-minute warm ischemia were retrieved and flushed with hyperosmolar citrate to mimic deceased donation. The kidneys and autologous blood ± 10.56 nmol/L CHBP were placed in cold storage (CS) for 18 hours. These kidneys were then normothermically hemoreperfused for 3 hours using an isolated organ perfusion system. The renal function and structure, apoptosis, inflammation, and expression of caspase-3 and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) were assessed.', 'Cyclic helix B peptide significantly increased the renal blood flow, oxygen consumption, and urine output during reperfusion, but decreased serum potassium and renal tissue damage. Apoptotic cells were significantly decreased in the tubular areas, but increased in the lumens and interstitial areas in the post-CS and postreperfused kidneys, whereas myeloperoxidase+ cells were reduced. In addition, the expression of both caspase-3 precursor and active subunits was downregulated by CHBP in reperfused kidneys. However, HSP70 was upregulated in the post-CS and postreperfused kidneys treated with CHBP.\Question: Does cyclic Helix B Peptide in Preservation Solution and Autologous Blood Perfusate ameliorate Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Isolated Porcine Kidneys?

Output: Cyclic helix B peptide administered into preservation and reperfusion solutions ameliorated renal ischemia-reperfusion injury, which might be associated with decreased apoptosis, inflammation and caspase-3, but increased HSP70. This novel preservation approach using CHBP may be applied in a porcine kidney transplant model and potential human donor kidney preservation.


Input: Consider Input: Context: Sigma-1 receptors are involved in the pathophysiological process of several neuropsychiatric diseases such as epilepsy, depression. Allosteric modulation represents an important mechanism for receptor functional regulation. In this study, we examined antidepressant activity of the latest identified novel and selective allosteric modulator of sigma-1 receptor 3-methyl-phenyl-2, 3, 4, 5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepin-7-ol (SOMCL-668).', 'A single administration of SOMCL-668 decreased the immobility time in the forced swimming test (FST) and tailing suspended test in mice, which were abolished by pretreatment of sigma-1 receptor antagonist BD1047. In the chronic unpredicted mild stress (CUMS) model, chronic application of SOMCL-668 rapidly ameliorated anhedonia-like behavior (within a week), accompanying with the enhanced expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) (Ser-9) in the hippocampus. SOMCL-668 also rapidly promoted the phosphorylation of GSK3β (Ser-9) in an allosteric manner in vitro. In the cultured primary neurons, SOMCL-668 enhanced the sigma-1 receptor agonist-induced neurite outgrowth and the secretion of BDNF.\Question: Does allosteric Modulation of Sigma-1 Receptors elicit Rapid Antidepressant Activity?

Output: SOMCL-668, a novel allosteric modulator of sigma-1 receptors, elicits a potent and rapid acting antidepressant effect. The present data provide the first evidence that allosteric modulation of sigma-1 receptors may represent a new approach for antidepressant drug discovery.


Input: Consider Input: Context: Systemic activation of hemostasis and fibrolysis has been shown to be related to tumor progression in patients with malignancies such as lung cancer and colorectal cancer, but there has been no report of these clotting abnormalities in esophageal cancer. We investigated the clinical importance of measuring plasma levels of D-dimer (DD), which is a marker of the hypercoagulable stage, in preoperative patients with esophageal cancer.', 'Preoperative plasma DD levels were measured in 96 patients with primary esophageal cancer who were scheduled for esophagectomy with lymphadenectomy without preoperative treatment at our hospital. Results were correlated with the clinicopathological findings.', 'Significantly different plasma DD levels were found with respect to histologic T (p = 0.0015), histologic N (p < 0.0001), number of metastatic nodes (p < 0.0001), and histologic stages (p < 0.0001). The number of lymph node metastases (0/1 to 3/4 to 7/8-) was found to have the strongest association with DD level among the significant clinicopathologic factors (Spearman rank correlation 0.591, p < 0.0001). The most useful cut-off level of the plasma DD levels for diagnosis of lymph node metastasis was determined to be 0.4 microg/mL, with specificity and sensitivity for lymph node metastasis being 62.9% and 88.2%, respectively.\Question: Do plasma D-dimer levels show correlation with number of lymph node metastases in patients with esophageal cancer?


Output: Plasma DD levels are useful for assessing lymph node metastasis in patients with esophageal cancer and should be measured preoperatively.
