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.

Ex Input:
High sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) and adiponectin (APN) are two critical cytokines and exert inverse effects on atherosclerosis initiation and progression. The purpose of our study was to investigate the value of Hs-CRP and ANP ratio (Hs-CRP/APN ratio) on evaluating atherosclerosis progression.', "One hundred sixty consecutive participants underwent carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) measured by ultrasound were enrolled and drawn fasting blood samples for plasma levels Hs-CRP and APN, serum levels of lipid profiles and fasting blood glucose evaluation. Other anthropometrics and clinical status were collected by questionnaire. All participants were divided into 4 groups according to the baseline Hs-CRP/APN ratio and underwent CIMT measurement every 6 months. CIMT increment and composite cardiovascular endpoints were compared after 24 months' follow-up.", "At baseline, body mass index (BMI), smoking, diabetic mellitus, usage of statins, Hs-CRP and APN independently correlated with Hs-CRP/APN ratio as analyzed by spearman rank correlation. Smoking, serum level of LDL-C, plasma level of Hs-CRP and Hs-CRP/APN ratio were positively correlated with CIMT while usage of statins and plasma level of APN were negatively correlated with CIMT as analyzed by multiple linear regression analysis. After 24 months' follow-up, the progression of CIMT was the most prominent in the fourth quartile of baseline Hs-CRP/APN ratio. In addition, the incidence of composite cardiovascular endpoint was also higher in the fourth quartile as compared to the other 3 lower quartiles.

Ex Output:
Is increased Hs-CRP/adiponectin ratio associated with increase carotid intima-media thickness?

Ex Input:
To determine whether follicle curetting at the time of oocyte retrieval increases oocyte yield.', 'Retrospective review of all patients who underwent oocyte retrieval from July 1, 2003 to June 30, 2005.', 'Number of oocytes retrieved.', 'retrieval time, number of cryopreserved embryos, pregnancy rates, and incidence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.', 'There were no differences in patient demographics, antral follicle count, cycle stimulation characteristics, fertilization rates, embryo quantity or quality, embryo cryopreservation rates, clinical pregnancy rates, live birth rates, or ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome between the groups. Retrievals that utilized curetting took three minutes longer. Follicle curetting significantly increased the number of oocytes retrieved, 13.9 +/- 0.6 compared to 11.4 +/- 0.6 oocytes without curetting (P = 0.003). The quantity of mature oocytes was also increased with curetting (10.3 +/- 0.5 versus 8.4 +/- 0.5, P = 0.006).

Ex Output:
Does follicle curetting at the time of oocyte retrieval increase the oocyte yield?

Ex Input:
To test whether the chronic users of celecoxib, a selective cyclo-oxygenase-2 inhibitor, had less Helicobacter pylori-related intestinal metaplasia or if such users' intestinal metaplasia could be prone to disappear after H. pylori eradication.", 'The study enrolled 150 chronic celecoxib users and 216 non-users who underwent pan-endoscopy to detect H. pylori infection and its related intestinal metaplasia. One hundred and three H. pylori-infected patients with intestinal metaplasia (43 chronic celecoxib users and 60 non-users) received anti-H. pylori therapy and completed the 12-month follow-up to survey the regression of intestinal metaplasia by mean intestinal metaplasia score.', 'There were no differences in the prevalence of H. pylori-related intestinal metaplasia between the chronic celecoxib users and controls (P > 0.05). On the 12th month of follow-up, chronic celecoxib users had a lower mean intestinal metaplasia score (1.2 vs. 1.8, P < 0.005) and a higher regression rate of intestinal metaplasia (42% vs. 20%, P = 0.027) than non-users.

Ex Output:
Do chronic celecoxib users more often show regression of gastric intestinal metaplasia after Helicobacter pylori eradication?
