Given a passage, construct a question on the basis of the information present in the passage. Construct the question in such a way that (i) it is unambiguous, (ii) it is answerable from the passage, (iii) its answer is unique (iv) it answer uses text phrases from the passage. Avoid creating questions that (i) can't be answered correctly without actually understanding the passage and (ii) uses the same words or phrases given in the passage.

Accurate evaluation of the biological behavior of Gastrointestinal stromal tumor and careful selection of patients with a high risk for tumor recurrence are necessary. In the present study, we analyzed prognostic factors in patients with GIST.', 'A total of 214 patients who had undergone curative resection of a localized primary gastric GIST without adjuvant therapy were enrolled in this retrospective study. Prognostic factors were analyzed. The growth pattern was classified as intramural, endoluminal, exoluminal, or mixed- type.', 'On univariate and multivariate analyses, recurrence was predicted by exoluminal or mixed-type (hazard ratio [HR]=3.7, p=0.043), tumor size of >3.5 cm (HR=7.1, p=0.01), and mitotic rate of >5/50 high-power fields (HR=7.9, p<0.001).
Is macroscopic type a prognostic factor for recurrence-free survival after resection of gastric GIST?

Conflicting results have been reported regarding the predicative roles of alloreactive natural killer (NK) cells on the outcomes of transplantation in leukaemia patients.', 'We prospectively analysed the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing of donor-recipient pairs and the KIR typing of the donors in 97 CML patients to address the predictive roles of NK cells in relapse undergoing T-cell-replete haploidentical transplantation.', "Patients with class I ligands for the donor-inhibitory KIR gene exhibited decreased molecular and haematologic relapse rates (P=0.003 and P=0.015, respectively). There was a significantly reduced risk of molecular and haematologic relapse in patients with HLA-C1C2 or C2C2 who accepted donors with KIR2DS1 or in patients with HLA-Bw4 who accepted donors with KIR3DS1 ('recipient with relevant KIR ligand for donor-activating KIR', n=25), compared with the remaining transplants (n=72, P=0.009 and P=0.009, respectively). In addition, the presence of class I ligand in the recipients of donor-activating KIR contributed to a decreased relapse rate in patients lacking class I ligand in the recipient of donor-inhibitory KIR (P=0.04 and P=0.03, respectively).
Does hLA and KIR genotyping correlate with relapse after T-cell-replete haploidentical transplantation in chronic myeloid leukaemia patients?

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of different doses of gamma-emitting radioactive stents on intimal hyperplasia in a porcine coronary stent model at 28 days.', 'Sixty-four bare stents and those coated with palladium-103 [activities of 0 (control), 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 mCi] were implanted in the coronary arteries of 32 pigs. Stented segments were evaluated by histomorphometry at 28 days.', 'There was significantly more intima in the 0.5- and 1-mCi stents than in controls (4.27+/-0.52 and 4.71+/-1.13 vs. 1.71+/-0.61 mm(2); P<.0001). Neointimal formation in 2-mCi stents was similar to that in controls, while that in 4-mCi stents was reduced compared to that in controls (2.34+/-1.61 and 0.82+/-0.25 vs. 1.71+/-0.61 mm(2); P=NS and P<.05, respectively). Stent margin neointimal response was representative of that within the stent body, with nonsignficant modest increases in intimal area at adjacent nonstented segments in radioactive stent groups. There was a dose-dependent increase in inflammation scores. Radioactive stents had lower intimal smooth muscle and higher fibrin scores. There was an increase in adventitial fibrosis in 1- and 2-mCi stents versus controls (1.26+/-0.99, and 2.25+/-1.27 vs. 0.21+/-0.31; P<.001).

Do low-energy gamma-emitting stents inhibit intimal hyperplasia with minimal `` edge effects '' in a pig coronary artery model?
