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 aim of this study was to investigate the suppressive capacity of CD25(+) regulatory T cells on birch allergen-induced T-cell responses during the first birch pollen season after initiation of specific immunotherapy (SIT).', 'CD25(pos) and CD25(neg) T cells were purified from blood of birch-allergic SIT patients and birch-allergic controls, stimulated with birch pollen extract, and analyzed for T-cell proliferation and production of interferon gamma (IFN-gamma), interleukin (IL)-5 and IL-10.', 'We show that allergen-induced proliferation and IFN-gamma production were suppressed equally well by CD25(pos) T cells from SIT patients and controls, while the IL-5 production was not suppressed by either of the groups. IL-10 levels were higher in SIT patients relative to controls only when CD25(neg) and CD25(pos) were cultured together. Furthermore, neither FOXP3 levels nor proportions of CD25(high) T cells were enhanced in SIT patients compared to allergic controls.

To assess the activity of mTOR and downstream effector proteins in the mTOR pathway after treatment with a dual mTOR complex 1 and 2 (mTORC1/2) inhibitor (PP242) compared with that of mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) inhibitor (rapamycin) using a xenograft tumor model.', 'Pheochromocytoma PC12 cell were xenografted into nude mice. Animals were treated with PP242 and rapamycin. Mean tumor volume was compared across groups. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling staining was used to detect apoptosis. Immunoblot analysis was performed to assess mTORC1/2 activity using p-Akt, p-S6, and p-4E-BP1. The expression of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2, pro-apoptotic protein Bax, and the mediator of angiogenesis vascular endothelial growth factor were also investigated.', 'The mean tumor volume of PP242 was significantly lower than in other groups. The terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling results showed that PP242 markedly increased cell apoptosis compared with other groups. Immunoblot analysis of tumor lysates treated with PP242 demonstrated inhibition of activated p-Akt. We also observed that only PP242, but not rapamycin, significantly reduced Bcl-2 expression and markedly increased Bax expression. Rapamycin decreased vascular endothelial growth factor expression, but not nearly as striking as seen in the PP242 group.

The safety of Deltamethrin (DM) has been raised as a point of concern. The current investigation was envisaged to explore the responsiveness of oxidative stress parameters, DNA fragmentation and expression levels of TP53, cycloxygenase 2 (COX2) and cytochrome p4502E1 (CYP2E1) as toxicological endpoint in rats treated with DM. as well as attention was provided to the neuroprotective effect of vitamin E (VE).', 'Four different groups of rats were used in this study, group I served as control, group II received DM (0.6 mg/kg BW), group III received both DM plus VE and finally group IV received VE only (200 mg/kg BW). The treatment regimen was extending for one month for all groups and the brain tissues were collected for further analysis.', 'The obtained results showed a highly statistically significant increase in lipid peroxidation (LPO) content, nitric oxide concentration, and DNA fragmentation percentage and expression level of CYP2E1, TP53 and COX2 genes, in addition statistical significant reduction in total antioxidant capacity in DM treated group as compared to control were detected. Oral administration of VE attenuated the neurotoxic effects of DM through improvement of oxidative status, DNA fragmentation percentage and suppressing the expression level of CYP2E1, TP53 and COX2 genes.
