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.

Input: Consider Input: Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC) is thought to be the result of detrimental effects of inflammatory mediators on the cardiac muscle. Here we studied the effects of prolonged (24 4 h) exposure of adult rat ventricular myocytes (ARVM) to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukins-1 (IL-1) and IL-6.', 'We measured sarcomere shortening (SS) and cellular calcium (Ca(2+)) transients (Cai, with fura-2 AM) in isolated cardiomyocytes externally paced at 5 Hz at 37C.', 'SS decreased after incubation with LPS (100 g/mL), IL-1 (100 ng/mL), and IL-6 (30 ng/mL), but not with lesser doses of these mediators, or TNF (10-100 ng/mL). A combination of LPS (100 g/mL), TNF, IL-1, and IL-6 (each 100 ng/mL; i.e., "Cytomix-100") induced a maximal decrease in SS and Cai. Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) load (CaSR, measured with caffeine) was unchanged by Cytomix-100; however, SR fractional release (Cai/CaSR) was decreased. Underlying these effects, Ca(2+) influx into the cell (via L-type Ca(2+) channels, LTCC) and Ca(2+) extrusion via Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange were decreased by Cytomix-100. SR Ca(2+) pump (SERCA) (SR Ca(2+) ATPase) was not affected.

Input: Consider Input: To investigate the mechanism by which methylprednisolone protects the liver from hypoxia-induced injury.', 'Prospective control study using the isolated rat liver.', 'Animal research facility.', 'Male, fasted, pathogen-free Sprague-Dawley rats.', 'Low-flow hypoxia was produced by reducing afferent perfusate pressure from 10 to 2.5 cm H(2)O; isolated livers were portally perfused for 2 hrs.', "We measured mitochondrial membrane potential and hydrogen peroxide production by imaging rhodamine 123 and 2'-7'-dichlorofluorescein fluorescence, respectively. Leakage of mitochondrial enzymes was also monitored by assaying mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase activity in the outflow perfusate, and the radical-scavenging effect of methylprednisolone was assessed by measuring luminol-dependent hydrogen peroxide chemiluminescence. Apoptosis in liver cells was determined by using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-digoxigenin nick-end labeling. Rhodamine 123 fluorescence was significantly diminished in the hypoxic liver, especially in the region of the terminal hepatic venules, which is indicative of membrane depolarization in the mitochondria in those areas. Hypoxia-induced mitochondrial dysfunction was indicated by leakage of aspartate aminotransferase into the outflow perfusate, and increased 2'-7'-dichlorofluorescein fluorescence indicated increased hydrogen peroxide levels, particularly in the midzone. Pretreatment with 30, 10, or 3 mg/kg of methylprednisolone inhibited the hypoxia-induced mitochondrial membrane depolarization and enzyme leakage, although hydrogen peroxide levels and apoptosis in sinusoidal endothelial cells were unaffected.

Input: Consider Input: Controversy exists as to whether polyethylene (PE) penetration of hip prostheses is underestimated when the measurements are made on radiographs obtained in supine position as compared to weight-bearing position.', 'We examined 111 patients by radiostereometric analysis (RSA) in the supine and weight-bearing positions.', 'The mean 3-D penetration was 0.68 mm (SD 0.58, range 0.04-3.05) for the supine position and 0.70 mm (SD 0.57, range 0.08-3.01) for the weight-bearing position. The correlation between supine and weight-bearing examinations was 0.99 (p < 0.001). The degree of penetration made no difference. There was no statistically significant difference as to whether the first examination was performed early, i.e. after 3 months, or after 12 months (p = 0.7).
