Input: Consider Input: Context: There is an increasing knowledge that the severity of perennial allergic rhinitis is associated with nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The aim of this study was to evaluate the rate of bacterial colonization with S. aureus in the nose of subjects with and without chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and to correlate these findings with the severity of symptoms and the extent of the disease.', 'Open, prospective controlled trial.', "190 subjects with CRS and 42 subjects with septal deviation without sinusitis (control subjects) were included in this study. Swabs were taken endoscopically from the middle meatus and bacteria were cultured and identified. Airway symptoms were assessed by subjects in standardized questionnaires and frequencies of respiratory tract infections were noted. The rhinosinusitis extent was graded by CT scan assessment. Analysis of variance, chi-square test, and Pearson's correlation test were applied for statistical analyses.", 'The S. aureus carriage rate was 25.5% in CRS and 31.4% in control subjects. Further facultative pathogens were cultured in 20.6% of subjects with CRS and in 8.5% of controls. 73.8% of S. aureus were ampicillin-resistant, multiresistant strains were cultured in 5.8%. Most airway symptoms and the frequencies of respiratory tract infections were significantly higher in the CRS group compared with control subjects. In post hoc comparison between the subgroups with and without S. aureus colonization, no significant differences were found between the extent of rhinosinusitis and the severity of airway symptoms.
Answer: Facultative pathogens were detected in more than 40% of CRS patients without acute respiratory tract infections. In contrast to the findings in atopic dermatitis and perennial allergic rhinitis, the colonization rate with S. aureus is not increased and S. aureus carriage is not a risk factor for the severity or the extent of rhinosinusitis.

Output: Is nasal colonization with Staphylococcus aureus associated with the severity of symptoms or the extent of the disease in chronic rhinosinusitis?


Input: Consider Input: Context: Lung adenocarcinomas are a heterogeneous set of diseases with distinct genetic and histologic characteristics. Besides the discovery of oncogenic mutations and introduction of the histologic classifications (2011 International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer/American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society and 2015 WHO), increasing evidence has linked this intertumor heterogeneity\xa0to the lung lineage-specific pathways and lineage genes. Therefore, in this study, we assessed the gene expression of identified lung lineage genes to study their role in distinguishing lung adenocarcinoma diversities.', 'A total of 278 surgically resected lung adenocarcinomas were included. Each case was evaluated for genetic mutations and histologic classification. Lineage genes associated with respiratory tract differentiation (NK2 homeobox 1 gene [NKX2-1], GATA protein binding 6 gene [GATA6], foxhead box J1 gene [FOXJ1], and SAM pointed domain containing ETS transcription factor gene [SPDEF]) and stem/basal-like status (inhibitor of DNA binding 2, HLH protein gene [ID2], POU class 5 homeobox 1 gene [POU5F1], SRY-box 2 gene [SOX2], and v-myc avian myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog gene [MYC]) were selected. mRNA expression of these genes in each tumor sample was assessed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and normalized to paired normal lung tissue.', 'Distinct lineage gene expressions were found on the basis of genetic and histologic diversities. Expression of NKX2-1, GATA6, FOXJ1, and POU5F1 exhibited a significant linear relationship across histologic subgroups that was independent of genetic mutation status. Expression levels of NKX2-1 and POU5F1 were also associated with EGFR mutation status, independent of histologic subtypes. Further analysis revealed that the overexpression of SPDEF defined longer relapse-free survivals, especially in stage I disease.
Answer: For the first time, we showed the unique lineage backgrounds of different histologic subtypes and oncogenic mutations. Assessing this added parameter might be beneficial in discriminating intertumor heterogeneity, advancing target exploration, developing theranostic/prognostic biomarkers, and designing clinical trials.

Output: Do the Histologic Classifications of Lung Adenocarcinomas Are Discriminable by Unique Lineage Backgrounds?


Input: Consider Input: Context: Essentials The procoagulant effects of microparticles (MPs) on coagulation in endotoxemia are not known. MPs from endotoxemia volunteers were evaluated for procoagulant activity in a plasma milieu. MPs from endotoxemia volunteers shortened clotting times and enhanced thrombin generation. MP procoagulant effects were mediated in a factor XI-dependent manner.
Answer: Background Human endotoxemia is characterized by acute inflammation and activation of coagulation, as well as increased numbers of circulating microparticles (MPs). Whether these MPs directly promote coagulation and through which pathway their actions are mediated, however, has not been fully explored. Objectives In this study, we aimed to further characterize endotoxin-induced MPs and their procoagulant properties using several approaches. Methods Enumeration and characterization of MPs were performed using a new-generation flow cytometer. Relative contributions of the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways in MP-mediated procoagulant activity were assessed using plasmas deficient in factor (F) VII or FXI or with blocking antibodies to tissue factor (TF) or FXIa. Results Total MPs and platelet MPs were significantly elevated in plasma at 6 h after infusion of endotoxin in healthy human subjects. MPs isolated from plasma following endotoxin infusion also demonstrated increased TF activity in a reconstituted buffer system. When added to recalcified platelet-poor plasma, these MPs also promoted coagulation, as judged by a decreased clotting time with shortening of the lag time and time to peak thrombin using calibrated automated thrombography (CAT). However, the use of FVII-deficient plasma or blocking antibody to TF did not inhibit these procoagulant effects. In contrast, plasma clotting time was prolonged in FXI-deficient plasma and a blocking antibody to FXIa inhibited all MP-mediated parameters in the CAT assay. Conclusions The initiation of coagulation by cellular TF in endotoxemia is in contrast to (and presumably complemented by) the intrinsic pathway-mediated procoagulant effects of circulating MPs.
