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.
One example is below.
Q: 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).
A: Are group 2 innate lymphoid cells ( ILC2s ) increased in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps or eosinophilia?
Rationale: The question is based on the following sentences from the passage (i) Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) {ii) In the CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) population, ILC2s were increased in patients with co-existing asthma (iii) As ILC2s are elevated in patients with CRSwNP, they may drive nasal polyp formation in CRS. and (iv) They were also associated with increased blood eosinophilia
Q: Efflux transporters overexpression has been proposed as one of the responsible mechanism for refractory epilepsy by preventing access of the antiepileptic drug to the brain. In this work we investigated whether phenytoin (PHT), could induce efflux transporters overexpression, at different biological barriers and to evaluate the implication it could have on its pharmacokinetics and therapeutic/toxic response.', 'Forty-two adult females Sprague Dawley divided in five groups were treated with oral doses of 25, 50 and 75mg/kg/6h of PHT for 3 days and two additionally groups were treated with intraperitoneal (ip) doses of 25mg/kg/6h or 100mg/kg/24h. At day 4 PHT plasma concentrations were measured and, obtained several organs, brain, parotid gland, liver and duodenum in which were analyzed for the Pgp expression. At day 4 PHT plasma concentrations were measured and several tissues: brain, parotid gland, liver and duodenum were obtained in order to analyze Pgp expression. In order to evaluate the oral bioavailability of PHT, two groups were administered with oral or intraperitoneal doses of 100mg/kg and plasma level were measured.', 'An induction of the expression of efflux transporter mediated by phenytoin in a concentration-and-time dependent manner was found when increasing oral and ip doses of phenytoin, One week after the interruption of ip treatment a basal expression of transporters was recovered.
A:
Does chronic administration of phenytoin induce efflux transporter overexpression in rats?
