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.

Question: Context: Slumped posture is a diagnostic feature of depression. While research shows upright posture improves self-esteem and mood in healthy samples, little research has investigated this in depressed samples. This study aimed to investigate whether changing posture could reduce negative affect and fatigue in people with mild to moderate depression undergoing a stressful task.', 'Sixty-one community participants who screened positive for mild to moderate depression were recruited into a study purportedly on the effects of physiotherapy tape on cognitive function. They were randomized to sit with usual posture or upright posture and physiotherapy tape was applied. Participants completed the Trier Social Stress Test speech task. Changes in affect and fatigue were assessed. The words spoken by the participants during their speeches were analysed.', 'At baseline, all participants had significantly more slumped posture than normative data. The postural manipulation significantly improved posture and increased high arousal positive affect and fatigue compared to usual posture. The upright group spoke significantly more words than the usual posture group, used fewer first person singular personal pronouns, but more sadness words. Upright shoulder angle was associated with lower negative affect and lower anxiety across both groups.\Question: Does upright posture improve affect and fatigue in people with depressive symptoms?

Answer: The experiment was only brief and a non-clinical sample was used.

Question: Context: Treatment resistance and metastasis are the major causes of death among patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Approximately 20% of surgically treated patients ultimately develop metastases during the follow-up period. Currently, the TNM system is the only available prognostic test. Therefore, the identification of new markers for CRC remains important. Thrombomodulin (TM), a glycoprotein, is involved in angiogenesis and has been linked to many malignant diseases. However, the function of TM in CRC remains unclear.', 'A total of 170 patients with CRC participated in this study. TM expression was analyzed via immunohistochemistry. Univariate (Kaplan-Meier) analysis was used to analyze patient outcomes, including overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). TM expression was manipulated using shRNA or an overexpression system. Transwell migration assays, wound healing migration assays, and the xCELLigence biosensor system were used to detect cell proliferative and migratory capacities.', "TM expression in the tumor tissues significantly and positively correlated with the DFS and OS of non-metastatic patients with CRC (ps = 0.036 and 0.0218, respectively). Suppression of TM expression increased the proliferation and migration of DLD-1 cells. TM overexpression reduced the cells' proliferative and migratory capacities. Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression was up-regulated following TM silencing. Furthermore, the association between the migration of colon cancer cells and the levels of TM and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers (fibronectin, vimentin and ezrin) was confirmed in HT29 and DLD-1 cells.\Question: Does thrombomodulin influence the Survival of Patients with Non-Metastatic Colorectal Cancer through Epithelial-To-Mesenchymal Transition ( EMT )?

Answer: Our study demonstrates that patients with non-metastatic CRC display low TM expression in their tumors and exhibit reduced DFS and OS. The enhanced expression of mesenchymal markers and COX-2 may be involved in the mechanisms that underlie recurrence in patients with cancer displaying low TM expression.

Question: Context: To examine the effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) on hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2))-induced decrease in contraction of isolated rataortic rings, and to investigate its mechanisms.', 'The thoracic aortic rings with endothelium of male Sprague-Dawley rats were mounted on a bath system. Isometric contractions of aortic rings were measured.', '(1) After incubation with captopril (an ACEI with sulfhydryl groups) or perindoprilate (an ACEI without sulfhydryl groups), the decrease in contraction response to PE was prevented in arteries which were pretreated with 300 micromol/L H(2)O(2). (2) Captopril enhanced the HO-1 activity of thoracic aorta. After inhibition of HO-1 activity by ZnPP IX, the protection effect of captopril was abrogated. Hemin (an inducer of HO-1) and bilirubin (a product of HO-1) could mimic the antioxidative effect of captopril. (3) Both L-NAME (an inhibitor of NOS) and methylene blue (an inhibitor of GC) could abolish the protective effect of captopril. (4) SNAP could protect aortic rings against H(2)O(2) attack, and ZnPP IX could cancel the effect of SNAP.\Question: Does [ Nitric oxide/heme oxygenase-1 mediate the antioxidant effect of ACEI in rat aortic rings ]?

Answer:
Both ACEI with or without sulfhydryl groups could prevent the H(2)O(2) induced decrease in contraction responses to PE in intact aortic rings. The increase of NO and activation of HO-1 might be involved in the mechanism.
