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.

Q: Context: It has been hypothesized that minichromosome maintenance (MCM) proteins, which are replicative control factors, can be used to detect tumor proliferation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression of MCM in colorectal cancer tissues and correlate it to clinical outcomes.', 'The study included 145 patients with colorectal cancer who underwent curative surgery, from January 2002 until December 2004, at the Kurume University Hospital in Fukuoka, Japan. The median follow-up duration was 87 months. The expression of MCM7 in tissues was studied by immuno-histochemical staining. The labeling index (LI) of MCM7 was calculated by dividing the number of positively-stained cells by the total number of cells counted. We divided samples into two groups: positive (MCM7 LI 76% or higher) and negative (MCM7 LI less than 76%).', 'In patients with Dukes A and B, there were no significant differences in either overall survival (OS) or recurrence-free survival (RFS) between patents with MCM7-positive and those with MCM7-negative disease. On the other hand, in patients with Dukes C, there was significantly worse OS and RFS for patients with MCM7-positive compared to those with MCM7-negative disease.
Answer: We found that the expression of MCM7 is an independent risk factor for RFS in patients with Dukes C colorectal cancer. Further studies are required to investigate the validity of MCM7 protein expression for its potential clinical use in colorectal cancer therapy and prognosis.

A: Is minichromosome maintenance protein 7 a risk factor for recurrence in patients with Dukes C colorectal cancer?

Q: Context: Anosognosia is a common manifestation of Alzheimer's disease. There is an association between impaired awareness and frontal-executive cognitive deficits. Anosognosia is also correlated with decreased metabolism in the right hemisphere, particularly in frontal lobe regions.", "To investigate pathological correlates of anosognosia in Alzheimer's disease.", "41 subjects followed longitudinally in the University of Pittsburgh memory disorders clinic and with necropsy verified Alzheimer's disease were divided into two groups, based on previous clinical assessment: +Aware (n = 23) and -Aware (n = 18). A subset analysis matching subjects for dementia severity using mini-mental state examination scores was also carried out (13 +Aware; 13 -Aware). Histopathological data from necropsy brain tissue consisted of senile plaque (SP) and neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) counts (regional density) from four different brain regions in the right and left hemispheres: superior and middle frontal gyri (SMF), superior temporal isocortex (ST), the prosubiculum of the hippocampus (PRO), and the entorhinal cortex (EC).", 'SP density was greater in the right PRO region of -Aware subjects (F = 6.54, p = 0.015) than +Aware subjects. Significant differences between SP or NFT density were not observed in any other regions. In the subset analysis matching for dementia severity, SP density was again greater in the right PRO region of -Aware subjects than in the other regions (F = 12.72, p = 0.002).
Answer: Increased SP density in the right PRO region suggests that selective pathological involvement of this area contributes to awareness deficits in Alzheimer's disease. The putative role of the PRO in self appraisal may reflect its interconnections with other medial temporal and prefrontal regions.

A: Does right prosubiculum amyloid plaque density correlate with anosognosia in Alzheimer 's disease?

Q: Context: Hepatic expression of growth hormone (GH)-inducible genes serine protease inhibitor (Spi 2.1) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I are inhibited by interleukin (IL)-1. The current study examines the role of the nuclear factor kappaB (NFkappaB) pathway and suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)-3 expression as potential mechanisms for IL-1-mediated GH resistance.', 'CWSV-1 hepatocytes were cotransfected with Spi 2.1 or IGF-1 promoter luciferase constructs and empty pCMV4 vector or dominant negative inhibitor-kappaBalpha (IkappaBalpha)S/A construct. Cells were treated with or without IL-1 and then stimulated with or without recombinant human GH. Cell extracts were assayed for luciferase activity and protein, normalized and expressed as fold-induction. CWSV-1 cells transfected with pCMV4 or IkappaBalphaS/A were treated with or without IL-1 then SOCS-3 mRNA was measured. Finally, CWSV-1 cells were cotransfected with a SOCS-3 promoter construct with or without pCMV4 or IkappaBalphaS/A and then stimulated with or without IL-1 to investigate SOCS-3 promoter activity.', 'CWSV-1 cells cotransfected with pCMV4 demonstrated a three- to fivefold induction of Spi 2.1 or IGF-1 promoter activity after GH stimulation that was almost completely inhibited by IL-1. Cotransfection with IkappaBalphaS/A increased GH-inducible Spi 2.1 and IGF-1 promoter activity, but the inhibitory effects of IL-1 on both promoters were attenuated by cotransfection with IkappaBalphaS/A. IL-1 stimulated SOCS-3 mRNA expression and promoter activity. Cotransfection with IkappaBalphaS/A increased IL-1-inducible SOCS-3 promoter activity, but not SOCS-3 mRNA or protein.
Answer: Signaling via the NFkappaB pathway is responsible for the inhibitory effects of IL-1 on GH-inducible gene expression by a mechanism that does not seem to involve increased SOCS-3 expression.

A:
Does nuclear factor kappaB mediate the inhibitory effects of interleukin-1 on growth hormone-inducible gene expression?
