Given a passage classify if the passage has a definite objective/aim/goal or not. Output '1' if the passage has a defininte objective/aim/goal and output '0' if the passage does not have a definite objective/aim/goal.

The combined effects of Human papillomavirus (HPV) and Herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1) infections and their effects on cancer cell radioresistance are unexplored.', 'An HPV16-positive hypopharyngeal carcinoma cell line (UD-SCC-2) was infected with wt-HSV-1 at low multiplicity of infection (MOI) and irradiated with 2 Gy at 24 h postinfection. Viability assays and quantitative reverse-transcriptase PCR for HPV16 E6, E7, nuclear factor kappa B1, B-cell CLL/lymphoma 2 (BCL2), and caspases 3, 8 and 9 at 24, and 72 h, as well as immunocytochemistry for BCL2, caspase 3, cyclin E, mouse double minute 2 homolog (MDM2), HSV-1 and Ki-67 were performed at 144 h postirradiation.', 'At 144 h, cell viability was significantly lowered by irradiation only in uninfected cells. Infection combined with irradiation resulted in increased expression of E6, E7, BCL2 and NF-κB1 at 144 h. Simultaneously, E6 and E7 were down-regulated in non-irradiated infected cells. Irradiation and infection with 0.00001 MOI separately up-regulated caspase 3 but infection with 0.0001 MOI halved its expression in irradiated cells.

The hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx) plays critical roles in cell survival via modulation of signaling pathways. In our previous studies, we reported that HBx inhibited the growth of CCL13-HBx-stable cells (Chang-HBx cells) in vitro and tumor formation in vivo in CCL13-HBx-cell-injected nude mice; however, this inhibition mechanism is unclear.', 'To investigate the role of HBx in Wnt-3/beta-catenin signaling pathways, we focused on the key molecules GSK-3beta and beta-catenin, and analyzed by Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining.', 'Results indicated that following HBx induction, GSK-3beta activity was up-regulated, the expression and accumulation of beta-catenin in the nucleus were decreased, and cell proliferation was suppressed. Inhibition of GSK-3beta activity by pharmacological inhibitors rescued the expression and accumulation of beta-catenin in the nucleus and facilitated cell proliferation and growth following HBx induction. The localization of beta-catenin, which is involved in cell proliferation, and mediated by GSK-3beta activation was also demonstrated.

We study a resistive-heating blanket in a volunteer model of severe accidental hypothermia to evaluate differences in rates of rewarming, core temperature afterdrop, and body heat content and distribution during active and passive rewarming.', 'Eight volunteers participated in a crossover design on 2 days. The volunteers were anesthetized and cooled to 33 degrees C (91.4 degrees F); anesthesia was subsequently discontinued, and shivering was prevented with meperidine. On one randomly assigned day, the volunteers were rewarmed passively with reflective foil (passive insulation), whereas on the other they were covered with a carbon fiber-resistive heating blanket set to 42 degrees C (107.6 degrees F; active rewarming). Trunk and head temperature and heat content were calculated from core (tympanic membrane) temperature. Peripheral (arm and leg) tissue temperature and heat content were estimated by using fourth-order regressions and integration over volume from 30 tissue and skin temperatures.', 'Core heat content increased 73+/-14 kcal (mean+/-SD) during 3 hours of active warming, but only 31+/-24 kcal with passive insulation, a difference of 41+/-20 kcal (95% confidence interval [CI] 27 to 55 kcal; P <. 001). Peripheral tissue heat content increased linearly by 111+/-16 kcal during active warming but only by 38+/-31 kcal during passive warming, a difference of 74+/-34 kcal (95% CI 50 to 97; P <.001). Consequently, total body heat increased 183+/-22 kcal during active warming but only 68+/-54 kcal with passive insulation, a difference of 115+/-42 kcal (95% CI 86 to 144 kcal; P <.001). Core temperature increased from 32.9 degrees C+/-0.2 degrees C to 35.2 degrees C+/-0. 4 degrees C during 3 hours of active warming, a difference of 2.3 degrees C+/-0.4 degrees C. In contrast, core temperature with foil insulation only increased from 32.9 degrees C+/-0.2 degrees C to 33. 8 degrees C+/-0.5 degrees C, a difference of only 0.8 degrees C+/-0. 4 degrees C. The difference in the core temperature increase between the two treatments was thus 1.5 degrees C+/-0.4 degrees C (95% CI 1. 2 degrees C to 1.7 degrees C; P <.001 between treatments). Active warming was not associated with an afterdrop, whereas the afterdrop was 0.2 degrees C+/-0.2 degrees C and lasted a median of 45 minutes (interquartile range, 41 to 64 minutes) with passive insulation.
