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.

Ex Input:
Context: To describe technical challenges encountered using the Ovation endograft for abdominal aortic aneurysms and suggest tips and maneuvers for successful management.', "Deployment of the Ovation's unsupported main body is often associated with the anteroposterior arrangement of the limb gates instead of the usual side-by-side configuration, rendering contralateral catheterization challenging. Successful catheterization of the contralateral limb can be confirmed by lateral deviation of the ipsilateral stiff guidewire caused by balloon inflation within the contralateral limb. Moreover, failure to cannulate the contralateral limb gate due to persistent impingement of the guidewire or compromise of the inflated rings can be overcome using the transbrachial antegrade approach.\Question: Does technical challenge encountered during deployment of the ovation abdominal aortic stent-graft system?

Ex Output:
Awareness of certain aspects associated with the use of the Ovation device and adoption of the adjunctive techniques herein described helps the interventionist avoid unexpected challenges or manage technical difficulties to maximize the device's safety and effectiveness.

Context: In streptozotocin-injected rats (STZ-rats), we previously demonstrated a role for angiotensin II (AT-II) in cardiac remodelling and insulin resistance partially counteracted by in vivo treatment with losartan, an AT-II receptor antagonist.We now aimed to investigate the effect of treating diabetic STZ-rats with losartan on diabetes vascular response to vasoconstrictors.', 'Male Wistar rats were randomly divided in four groups, two of them were assigned to receive losartan in the drinking water (20 mg/kg/day) until the experiment ending (3 weeks afterward). After 1 week, two groups, one of which receiving losartan, were injected in the tail vein with citrate buffer (normoglycemic, N and normoglycemic, losartan-treated, NL). The remaining received a single injection of streptozotocin (50 mg/kg in citrate i.v.) thus becoming diabetic (D) and diabetic losartan-treated (DL). Plasma glycaemia and blood pressure were measured in all animals before the sacrifice (15 days after diabetes induction).In aortic strips isolated from N, NL, D and DL rats we evaluated i) the isometric concentration-dependent contractile response to phenylephrine (Phe) and to AT-II; ii) the RhoA-kinase (ROCK1) activity and expression by enzyme-immunoassay and Western blot respectively.', 'The concentration-dependent contractile effect of Phe was similar in aortas from all groups, whereas at all concentrations tested, AT-II contraction efficacy was 2 and half and 1 and half times higher in D and DL respectively in comparison with N and NL. AT-II contracture was similarly reduced in all groups by AT-II receptor antagonists, irbesartan or irbesartan plus PD123319. HA-1077 (10 microM), an inhibitor of ROCK1 activity, reduced AT-II efficacy (Deltamg/mg tissue w.w.) by -3.5 +/- 1.0, -4.6 +/- 1.9, -22.1 +/- 2.2 and -11.4 +/- 1.3 in N, NL, D and DL respectively). ROCK1 activity and expression were higher in D than in N/NL and DL aortas.\Question: Does losartan counteract the hyper-reactivity to angiotensin II and ROCK1 over-activation in aortas isolated from streptozotocin-injected diabetic rats?

Ex Output:
Aortas isolated from STZ-rats present hyper-contracture to AT-II mainly dependent on the up-regulation of ROCK1 expression/activity. In vivo losartan treatment partially corrects AT-II hyper-contracture, limiting the increase in ROCK1 expression/activity. These data offer a new molecular mechanism supporting the rationale for using losartan in the prevention of diabetic vascular complications.


Ex Input:
Context: Cancer stem cell-tumor microenvironment ecosystem is proposed to drive tumor heterogeneity. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in breast cancer ecosystem were demonstrated to indicate better prognosis and benefit from chemotherapy. This study sought to detect the association between breast cancer stem cells and TILs.', '92 patients with breast cancer were enrolled. Matched cancerous and paracancerous tissues were assembled in a tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry was employed to test expression of breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) markers. TILs counts were estimated with global hematoxylin-eosin staining. The association between TILs and BCSCs phenotypes was analysed by multivariate analysis.', 'Although it was unable to find direct significant association between BCSCs phenotypes and TILs, the BCSCs phenotype with CD44(+)CD24(-)ALDH1A1(+)EpCAM(+)CD49f(+) was proved to be associated with worse DFS and OS (P=0.037 and 0.001). This result was confirmed by cox proportional-hazards regression model (for DFS and OS respectively, HR=2.438 and 3.383, P=0.019 [95%CI 1.418-3.457] and 0.025 [95%CI 1.162-9.843]). Additionally, in results of TILs, plasma cell-predominant breast cancer (PPBC) was unexpectedly found to indicate worse OS and HR was 2.686 (P=0.038 [95%CI 1.582-3.789]).\Question: Do breast cancer stem cells phenotype and plasma cell-predominant breast cancer independently indicate poor survival?

Ex Output:

The BCSCs phenotype and PPBC may be helpful stratified factors in future clinical trials. The underlying mechanism needs further research.
