You will be given a definition of a task first, then some input of the task.
Given a passage, construct a question on the basis of the information present in the passage. 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.

Analogous to vascular endothelium, bronchial epithelium modulates bronchomotor activity by releasing epithelium-derived relaxing factors. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with endothelial dysfunction. We examined whether CPB may be associated with bronchiolar epithelial dysfunction in pigs. Pigs were exposed to normothermic CPB for 1.5 h and then separated from CPB. Lung tissues were biopsied before and 30 min after CPB. For time control, lung tissues were biopsied at baseline and after 2 hr of anesthesia. Bronchioles measuring about 100 microm were dissected, and the epithelium was either left intact or denuded. Each bronchiolar segment was preconstricted with 10 microM 5-hydroxytryptamine and relaxation responses to nitroprusside 10(-9)-10(-4) M, isoproterenol 10(-9)-10(-4) M, or the inhaled anesthetics halothane or isoflurane 0-2.5 minimum alveolar anesthetic concentration were examined in vitro by videomicroscopy. Bronchiolar segments demonstrated concentration-dependent relaxation responses to each of the dilators examined. Epithelial denudation reduced bronchodilation to isoproterenol, isoflurane, and halothane, but not to nitroprusside. Bronchodilation was not significantly affected by CPB. We conclude that, unlike vascular endothelial function, porcine bronchiolar epithelium-modulated bronchomotor activity is not significantly affected by normothermic CPB.
Output:
Is epithelium-dependent bronchodilatory activity preserved in pig bronchioles after normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass?
