TASK DEFINITION: Given a passage with a context and an answer, 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.
PROBLEM: Context: Recently we have shown that the imunoglobulins G from blood serum of some multiple sclerosis patients are capable of cleaving histone H1.', 'To check whether histone H1-hydrolyzing abzymes could be detected not only in blood plasma of autoimmune patients, but also during cancer development, particularly during the onset of multiple myeloma.', "Immunoglobulines were isolated from blood serum of multiple myeloma patients (n = 11) by precipitation with 50% ammonium sulfate and tested for proteolytic activity toward linker and core calf thymus histones. Antibody preparations able to cleaved histone H1 were subjected to affinity chromatography on histone H1-Sepharose with following analysis of chromatographic fractions' protease activity. To prove that antibody molecules are responsible for hydrolysis of histone H1, gel filtration at acidic pH with subsequent examination of protease activity of chromatographic fractions (pH-shock analysis) was used.", 'It was found that 3 of 11 antibody preparations are capable of hydrolyzing calf thymus histone H1 but not core histones. It was shown that histone H1-hydrolysing activity of 2 proteolytically active antibody preparations is associated with IgGs that possess affinity towards histone H1. pH-shock analysis proved that protease activity towards histone H1 is intrinsic property of IgG molecules.
Answer: We demonstrated the existence of previously unknown histone H1 hydrolyzing IgG abzymes in the serum of multiple myeloma patients. Possible biological role of hisH1-hydrolyzing antibodies in patients with multiple myeloma was discussed.

SOLUTION: Are blood serum immunoglobulins of patients with multiple myeloma capable of hydrolysing histone H1?

PROBLEM: Context: Anorectal manometry provides objective information about anorectal function, but its results depend on the examiner's skill, the type of equipment, and subject characteristics like age or gender. This single institution, prospective study was performed to investigate the effect of gender and age on the results of anorectal manometry.", 'All included subjects completed a questionnaire to assess their bowel function. The survey included 13 validated questions (eight on constipation and five on incontinence) and was used to exclude subjects with pathological constipation or incontinence. Subjects with normal bowel function underwent anorectal manometry to measure anal sphincter length (ASL), maximum resting pressure (MRP), and maximum squeeze pressure (MSP), and the results were compared by gender and age.', 'The mean age of the 154 participants (94 male and 60 female) was 59.1 years. ASL was greater in men (4.23 vs. 3.85 cm, p<0.001). MRP was not significantly different according to gender (p=0.93), but MSP was higher in men (190.18 vs. 116.49 mmHg, p<0.001). ASL did not correlate with age (p=0.707). MRP was inversely related to age in both men (R (2)=0.152, p<0.001) and women (R (2)=0.282, p<0.001), and MSP only in women (R (2)=0.210, p<0.001).
Answer: Anorectal manometric parameters are influenced by gender and age. This should be taken into consideration when interpreting manometric readings in a clinical setting.

SOLUTION: Are anorectal manometric parameters influenced by gender and age in subjects with normal bowel function?

PROBLEM: Context: High arginase-1 (Arg) expression by myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) is known to inhibit antitumor T-cell responses through depletion of l-arginine. We have previously shown that nitric oxide (NO), an immune mediator produced from l-arginine, is a potent radiosensitizer of hypoxic tumor cells. This study therefore examines whether Arg(+) overexpressing MDSC may confer radioresistance through depleting the substrate for NO synthesis.', 'MDSC and Arg expression were studied in preclinical mouse CT26 and 4T1 tumor models and further validated in rectal cancer patients in comparison with healthy donors. The radioprotective effect of MDSC was analyzed in hypoxic tumor cells with regard to l-arginine depletion.', 'In both mouse tumors and cancer patients, MDSC expansion was associated with Arg activation causing accelerated l-arginine consumption. l-Arginine depletion in turn profoundly suppressed the capacity of classically activated macrophages to synthesize NO resulting in impaired tumor cell radiosensitivity. In advanced cT3-4 rectal cancer, circulating neutrophils revealed Arg overexpression approaching that in MDSC, therefore mounting a protumor compartment wherein Arg(+) neutrophils increased from 17% to over 90%.
Answer: Protumor Arg(+) MDSC reveal a unique ability to radioprotect tumor cells through l-arginine depletion, a common mechanism behind both T-cell and macrophage inhibition.

SOLUTION:
Do myeloid-derived suppressor cells reveal radioprotective properties through arginase-induced l-arginine depletion?
