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.
One example is below.
Q: Context: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous disease with an uncertain pathogenesis. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) represent a recently discovered cell population which has been implicated in driving Th2 inflammation in CRS; however, their relationship with clinical disease characteristics has yet to be investigated. The aim of this study was to identify ILC2s in sinus mucosa in patients with CRS and controls and compare ILC2s across characteristics of disease. A cross-sectional study of patients with CRS undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery was conducted. Sinus mucosal biopsies were obtained during surgery and control tissue from patients undergoing pituitary tumour resection through transphenoidal approach. ILC2s were identified as CD45(+) Lin(-) CD127(+) CD4(-) CD8(-) CRTH2(CD294)(+) CD161(+) cells in single cell suspensions through flow cytometry. ILC2 frequencies, measured as a percentage of CD45(+) cells, were compared across CRS phenotype, endotype, inflammatory CRS subtype and other disease characteristics including blood eosinophils, serum IgE, asthma status and nasal symptom score. 35 patients (40% female, age 48 17 years) including 13 with eosinophilic CRS (eCRS), 13 with non-eCRS and 9 controls were recruited. ILC2 frequencies were associated with the presence of nasal polyps (P = 0.002) as well as high tissue eosinophilia (P = 0.004) and eosinophil-dominant CRS (P = 0.001) (Mann-Whitney U). They were also associated with increased blood eosinophilia (P = 0.005). There were no significant associations found between ILC2s and serum total IgE and allergic disease. In the CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) population, ILC2s were increased in patients with co-existing asthma (P = 0.03). ILC2s were also correlated with worsening nasal symptom score in CRS (P = 0.04).
Question: Are group 2 innate lymphoid cells ( ILC2s ) increased in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps or eosinophilia?
A: As ILC2s are elevated in patients with CRSwNP, they may drive nasal polyp formation in CRS. ILC2s are also linked with high tissue and blood eosinophilia and have a potential role in the activation and survival of eosinophils during the Th2 immune response. The association of innate lymphoid cells in CRS provides insights into its pathogenesis.
Rationale: The output says that ILC2s are elevated in patients with CRSwNP and that they may drive nasal polyp formtion in CRS. The output also says that ILC2s are linked with blood eosinophilia and hence, it completely answers the question on the basis of the information in the context.
Q: Context: It was recently reported that protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) stimulates factor X (FX) activation by factor VIIa (FVIIa) bound to soluble tissue factor (sTF) in a purified system and that PDI may be responsible for activating cellular tissue factor (TF) and switching it between its roles in blood coagulation and cellular signalling. This study further investigates the former effect of PDI.', 'FX activations by FVIIa-sTF(1-219) were carried out in the presence of different forms of PDI, with annexin V or detergent present in the system and using various forms of FVIIa and FX. In addition, FVIIa-lipidated TF was used as the FX activator.', 'Recombinant human PDI did not influence FX activation by FVIIa-sTF(1-219), whereas PDI purified from bovine liver enhanced the activation rate in a dose-dependent manner. The inclusion of annexin V or detergent abolished the stimulatory effect. Removal of the phospholipid-interactive gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla)-containing domain from either FVIIa or FX obliterated the bovine PDI-induced enhancement of FX activation, as did the introduction of F4A or L8A mutation in FVIIa. The presence of 25 nM bovine PDI lowered the apparent K(m) for FX from far above 10 microM to 1-2 microM. No PDI effect was seen when FVIIa-lipidated TF was the FX activator.\Question: Does protein disulfide isomerase have no stimulatory chaperone effect on factor X activation by factor VIIa-soluble tissue factor?
A:
FX activation is insensitive to PDI per se and a phospholipid contaminant in the bovine PDI preparation acts stimulatory when sTF, but not lipidated TF, is the cofactor. Strong support is provided by the lacking effect of bovine PDI after removal or modification of the Gla domain in either FVIIa or FX as well as by the effects of annexin V and detergents and the decreased K(m) value.
