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.

Question: Context: Most solid human tumors exist in an acidic microenvironment, due in part to inefficient vasculature and a higher intrinsic rate of glycolysis. This leads to a tumor-selective pH gradient, which can be exploited therapeutically with antitumor agents such as the camptothecins (CPTs). Previous work in this laboratory has shown that camptothecin activity is enhanced 40- to 60-fold in monolayer cell culture by reducing the extracellular pH to 6.8. Three-dimensional histoculture has been shown to be a technique that allows human tumor tissue to grow in an in vivo-like way with maintenance of tissue histology and function and drug sensitivity for long periods of time.', 'In the current study, we utilized these features of histoculture to study new analogues of camptothecin that have superior pharmacological properties.', 'We evaluated six CPT analogues in histocultures of human brain, neuroblastoma, breast, colon, and prostate tumors. Fragments were exposed to 10,11-methylenedioxy-CPT (MDC), 7-chloromethyl-MDC, SN-38, topotecan (TPT), 9-amino-CPT, 10-amino-CPT, paclitaxel, 5-fluorouracil, 4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide and doxorubicin, and antitumor activity was assessed. For in vivo tumor outgrowth studies, fragments were treated in parallel, implanted into nude mice, and monitored for development of tumors. RESULTS. Against 15 of 16 tumor xenografts and all primary tumor samples tested, all compounds were cytotoxic at pH 7.4 (IC(50) range 13-921 microM). MDC, SN-38, TPT, and 9-amino-CPT achieved an average 5-fold increase in activity (range 3-14) at pH 6.8, while 7-chloromethyl-MDC was enhanced 8-fold (range 6-14). The most potentiated analogue was 10-amino-CPT at 27-fold (range 17-49). In contrast, the other agents were active against one or more tumor types but were not enhanced by acidic pH. Importantly, the toxicity of MDC in histoculture of D54 glioma xenografts strongly correlated with the outgrowth of treated fragments subsequently implanted in vivo.\Question: Is the activity of camptothecin analogues enhanced in histocultures of human tumors and human tumor xenografts by modulation of extracellular pH?

Answer: Evaluation of anticancer drug activity in native-state histoculture supports the concept that pH modulation may be an important approach to improve the selectivity and antitumor effectiveness of camptothecin-based chemotherapy.


Question: Context: Parenting practices can reduce how much television (TV) children watch. This study evaluated the longitudinal association between maternal regulation of TV content and the amount of TV watched by low-income ethnic minority children.', 'This was a secondary data analysis of the Welfare, Children & Families: A Three City Study. Data were used from ethnic minority mothers with a child from birth to 4 years old, collected over two waves approximately 16 months apart. The dependent variable was the amount of TV watched by the child (wave two). The main independent variable was the maternal regulation of TV content (wave one). Using multiple linear regression, we evaluated the relationship between maternal regulation of TV content and the amount of TV watched by the child, adjusting for covariates.', 'Of the 835 mothers, 71% were high content regulators and 8% reported no content regulation. Children whose mothers reported no regulation watched more TV approximately 16 months later than those whose mothers reported high regulation of content (β = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.09-1.73).\Question: Do young low-income ethnic minority children watch less television when their mothers regulate what they are viewing?

Answer: Our findings suggest that regulating content influences viewing amounts in young children approximately 16 months later. Interventions focused on heightening parental regulation of content may improve content and diminish viewing amounts.


Question: Context: The objective of this study was to use a well-established monkey model of atherosclerosis to determine how life stage and preexisting atherosclerosis influence the effectiveness of high-isoflavone soy diet in inhibiting progression of atherosclerosis.', 'For 34 months, premenopausal monkeys were fed an atherogenic diet, with protein derived primarily from either animal sources (casein-lactalbumin [CL], n = 37) or high-isoflavone soy beans (Soy, n = 34). Animals were ovariectomized and randomized to groups fed the same diet (CL-CL, n = 20; Soy-Soy, n = 17) or an alternate diet (CL-Soy, n = 17; Soy-CL, n = 17) for an additional 34 months. At ovariectomy, the left common iliac artery was removed to determine the amount of premenopausal atherosclerosis. At necropsy, the right common iliac artery and coronary arteries were collected, and atherosclerosis extent was quantified. CL-CL condition was considered "control."', 'Modeling Asian women who remain in Asia, monkeys fed soy protein both premenopausally and postmenopausally had a markedly reduced extent of coronary artery atherosclerosis relative to CL controls (P = 0.008). The subset of animals that modeled Asian women who migrate to a Western country (consuming soy premenopausally and CL postmenopausally) had increased progression of postmenopausal iliac artery atherosclerosis (P = 0.003) and was not protected against the development of coronary artery atherosclerosis relative to controls. Relevant to the administration of soy diets to postmenopausal Western women, monkeys fed CL premenopausally and switched to soy postmenopausally derived atheroprotective benefits only if they began the postmenopausal treatment period with relatively small (below the median) plaques. Relative to controls, this group (with small plaques at ovariectomy) had reduced progression of iliac atherosclerosis (P = 0.038) and smaller coronary artery plaques (P = 0.0001) that were less complicated (P = 0.05) relative to controls.\Question: Are beneficial effects of soy supplementation on postmenopausal atherosclerosis dependent on pretreatment stage of plaque progression?

Answer:
The results suggest that significant atheroprotective benefits of dietary soy are derived from treatment that begins premenopausally and continues postmenopausally or from treatment that is started during early postmenopause (when plaques are still small).
