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.

Example Input: The 6-min walk test (6MWT) has prognostic value in various pulmonary disorders including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We determined the individual prognostic accuracy of distance walked and oxygen saturation during the 6MWT in patients with IPF. We defined a new composite index, the distance-saturation product (DSP), which is the product of distance walked and lowest oxygen saturation during the 6-min walk test. We compared the performance of the DSP to the individual 6MWT parameters in predicting mortality.', 'We evaluated pulmonary function tests, 6-min walk parameters and the DSP between survivors and non-survivors. The ability of each measure to discriminate outcomes was determined by receiver operator curves.', '81 patients (48 survivors, 33 non-survivors) were included. Pulmonary function tests were similar and did not correlate with survival. Desaturation was greater (89.4% versus 83.7%, P<0.001) and distance walked was lower (406.9 versus 181.3m, P = 0.005) in non-survivors. The DSP was significantly lower among non-survivors (364.8 versus 153.5m%, P < 0.001) and predicted mortality more accurately than either individual 6MWT component (P = 0.035 versus desaturation, P=0.040 versus distance). A DSP <200 m% was associated with a seven-fold greater risk of 12-month mortality and an 18.0% shorter median survival compared with a DSP > 200 m% (P < 0.001).
Example Output: Does the distance-saturation product predict mortality in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis?

Example Input: The disturbance of mitochondrial functions has been considered as one of the mechanisms of pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis (AP) followed by kidney failure. This study was aimed to investigate the effects of methylene blue (MB) on pancreas and kidney mitochondrial respiratory functions during experimental acute pancreatitis in rats.', 'AP was induced by administrating sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic duct of male Wistar rats. The rats were divided into three groups: the MB group, MB (5mg/kg) was injected intravenously 10min prior to AP induction; the AP group, saline solution was injected intravenously 10min prior to AP induction; and the sham operation group, isotonic sodium chlorine was used instead of sodium taurocholate. The animals were sacrificed after 24h. The pancreas and kidney were removed for mitochondrial assay by oxygraphic and spectrophotometric methods.', 'Intravenous injection of MB did not prevent AP-induced inhibition of pancreatic mitochondrial respiration; however, MB significantly improved kidney mitochondrial respiratory functions with complex I-dependent substrates glutamate and malate. The activity of complex I of mitochondria isolated from AP-damaged kidney was increased after pretreatment with MB. However, MB did not affect AP-inhibited kidney mitochondrial respiration with succinate. MB had no protective effects on amylase activity or on urea content in serum in AP.
Example Output: Does methylene blue attenuate mitochondrial dysfunction of rat kidney during experimental acute pancreatitis?

Example Input: The mechanism by which stimulated neutrophils (polymorphonuclear leukocytes [PMNs]) damage pulmonary vascular endothelium was investigated.', 'The ability of unstimulated and mechanically stimulated PMNs to adhere to pulmonary endothelial cells and, thereby, alter pulmonary vascular permeability was tested. Each series was conducted on 6 rats. To stimulate PMNs, they were agitated gently in a glass vial for 10 seconds.', 'Perfusing lungs with the stimulated PMNs elicited a fivefold increase in permeability compared with lungs perfused with the unstimulated cells. This increase in permeability was blocked completely by preincubation of stimulated PMNs with CD18 monoclonal antibody. This increase in permeability was also blocked completely by superoxide dismutase (SOD) or the xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitor allopurinol. Pulmonary vascular hemodynamics were unaffected by any treatment protocol. The accumulation of stimulated PMNs within the lungs was not inhibited by SOD but was partially blocked by allopurinol.
Example Output:
Does superoxide possibly produced in endothelial cells mediate the neutrophil-induced lung injury?
