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.

Input: Consider Input: Context: The bradycardic agent zatebradine (UL-FS 49) reduces heart rate without negative inotropic or proarrhythmic effects. The aim was to experimentally characterize the influence of zatebradine on arterial baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and heart rate variability (HRV) which are generally considered as estimates of vagal activity and have prognostic value in patients after myocardial infarction (MI).', 'Conscious rats were studied 3 days after left coronary artery ligation or sham-operation (SH). BRS was determined by linear regression analysis of RR-interval and mean arterial pressure changes evoked by intravenous (i.v.) injections of methoxamine and nitroprusside. HRV at rest was calculated from high-resolution electrocardiogram-recordings.', 'In MI-rats heart rate was similar to SH-rats, mean arterial pressure was lower and both BRS and HRV were markedly reduced. Zatebradine (0.5 mg/kg i.v.) reduced heart rate in MI-rats from 400 +/- 15 to 350 +/- 19 and in SH-rats from 390 +/- 19 to 324 +/- 6 beats/min without changing mean arterial pressure. Both BRS and HRV were restored in MI- and further increased in SH-rats by the drug. Effects of 0.05, 0.5 and 5 mg/kg zatebradine revealed a dose-dependency of heart rate reduction. The lowest dose enhanced reflex bradycardia despite little effect on heart rate and lack of effect on both reflex tachycardia and HRV.\Question: Does the bradycardic agent zatebradine enhance baroreflex sensitivity and heart rate variability in rats early after myocardial infarction?

Output: Both BRS and HRV are reduced in rats early after MI, indicating a depressed reflex and tonic vagal activity. Treatment with zatebradine enhances both BRS and HRV. These data suggest that the drug has both peripheral and central effects, leading to an increase of vagal control of heart rate.

Input: Consider Input: Context: Endothelial Microparticles (EMP) are small fragments of endothelial cell membrane shed during apoptosis or activation. Our group has previously reported elevations of EMP in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), pre-eclampsia, multiple sclerosis (MS), and severe hypertension (HTN). In the present study, we evaluate the possible relationship between EMP levels and the angiographic severity and characteristics of coronary obstructive lesions.', 'We studied a total of 43 patients undergoing coronary angiography. Fifteen had presented with acute myocardial infarction (MI), 20 with unstable anginas (UA), 5 with stable angina (SA) and 3 with congestive heart failure. Coronary angiography was reviewed and coronary lesions were classified using the Ambrose classification. Coronary stenoses were classified as high and low risk. High-risk included lesions with eccentric appearance (type II), presence of thrombi, or multiple irregularities. Low-risk lesions were defined as concentric or type I. Lesions were also analyzed by degree of stenosis and history of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). EMP in plasma was assayed by flow cytometry.', 'EMP in eccentric type II or multiple irregular lesions (high-risk) were 2.5-fold higher than in type I or concentric (low-risk) lesions, p<0.05. Lesions with thrombi had three-fold higher EMP than those without (p=0.05). Mild stenosis (>20%-<45%) had three-fold higher EMP than more severe (>45%), and five-fold higher than those without stenosis (p<0.01). Among patients with type II lesions, those with first ACS episode had four-fold higher EMP levels than those with recurrent ACS (p<0.01).\Question: Do endothelial microparticles correlate with high-risk angiographic lesions in acute coronary syndromes?

Output: High EMP was associated with high-risk angiographic lesions including eccentric type II, multiple irregular, and lesions with thrombi. Mild to moderate stenosis was associated with higher EMP levels than severe stenosis. EMP may be a useful marker in detecting endothelial injury and risk of ACS as defined by angiography.

Input: Consider Input: Context: Strychnos spinosa Lam. is a deciduous tree used in traditional medicine to treat infectious diseases. This study is designed to determine the antimicrobial, antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of extracts and fractions from leaves of S. spinosa.', 'Extracts were obtained by maceration with acetone, methanol and dichloromethane/methanol (1/1) while fractions were prepared by liquid-liquid fractionation of the acetone extract. A broth serial microdilution method with tetrazolium violet as growth indicator was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against fungi, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The antioxidant activity was determined using free-radical-scavenging assays, and the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide reduction assay was used to determine cytotoxicity.', 'Four extracts and five fractions had good to weak antimicrobial activity with MICs ranging from 0.04 to >1.25mg/ml against both fungi and bacteria. The chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions had an MIC of 0.08mg/ml against Aspergillus fumigatus. The n-butanol fraction had an MIC of 0.04mg/ml against Cryptococcus neoformans. The hexane and chloroform fractions had an MIC of 0.08mg/ml against Staphylococcus aureus. The antioxidant activities were much lower than that of the positive controls. Except for the alkaloid extract, all the extracts and fractions had free-radical-scavenging activity (IC50 ranging from 33.66 to 314.30g/ml). The cytotoxicity on Vero cells was reasonable to low with LC50 values ranging between 30.56 and 689.39g/ml.\Question: Do some Strychnos spinosa ( Loganiaceae ) leaf extracts and fractions have good antimicrobial activities and low cytotoxicities?
Output: The acetone extract and the chloroform fraction had the highest antibacterial activity. By solvent-solvent fractionation it was possible to increase the activity against A. fumigatus and to decrease the cytotoxicity leading to a potentially useful product to protect animals against aspergillosis. Our results therefore support the use of S. spinosa leaves in traditional medicine to treat infectious diseases.
