Detailed Instructions: Given a passage classify if the passage has a definite objective/aim/goal or not. Output '1' if the passage has a defininte objective/aim/goal and output '0' if the passage does not have a definite objective/aim/goal.
Problem:Previous studies have demonstrated an important role for beta-2 adrenergic receptors ((2)AR) in lung fluid clearance. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the relationship between (2)AR density on lymphocytes and indices of lung water in healthy humans exposed to 17 h of hypoxia (FIO2 = 12.5% in a hypoxia tent).', 'Thirteen adults (mean SEM; age=31 3 years, BMI=24 1 kg/m(2), VO2 Peak = 40 2 ml/kg/min ) participated. Pulmonary function, CT derived lung tissue volume (V(tis)-tissue, blood and water), lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (D(CO)) and nitric oxide (D(NO)), alveolar-capillary conductance (D(M)), pulmonary capillary blood volume (V(c)) and lung water (CT V(tis)-V(c)) were assessed before and after 17 h normobaric hypoxia (FIO2 = 12.5%). (2)AR density on lymphocytes was measured via radioligand binding. Arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), cardiac output (Q), right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) and blood pressure (BP) were also assessed.', 'After 17 h hypoxia, SaO2 decreased from 97 1 (normoxia) to 82 4% and RVSP increased from 14 3 (normoxia) to 29 2 mmHg (p<0.05) with little change in Q or BP. V(c) and D(M) both increased with hypoxia with a small increase in D(M)/V(c) ratio (p>0.05). CT V(tis) decreased and lung water was estimated to decline 7 13%, respectively. (2)AR density averaged 1497 187 receptors/lymphocyte and increased 21 34% with hypoxia (range -31 to +86%). The post-hypoxia increase in (2)AR density was significantly related to the reduction in lung water (r=-0.64, p<0.05), with the subjects with the greatest increase in density demonstrating the largest decline in lung water.
