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.

[Q]: Periodontitis is a chronic, polymicrobial inflammatory disease that degrades connective tissue and alveolar bone and results in tooth loss. Oxidative stress has been linked to the onset of periodontal tissue breakdown and systemic inflammation, and the success of antiresorptive treatments will rely on how effectively they can ameliorate periodontal disease-induced oxidative stress during oral infection.', 'Rats were infected with polybacterial inoculum consisting of Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, and Tannerella forsythia, as an oral lavage every other week for 12 weeks. Daily subcutaneous injections of enoxacin, bis-enoxacin, alendronate, or doxycycline were administered for 6 weeks after 6 weeks of polybacterial infection in rats. The serum levels of oxidative stress parameters and antioxidant enzymes, including glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase, were evaluated in each of the infected, treated, and sham-infected rats.', 'Rats infected with the periodontal pathogens displayed a five-fold increase in the oxidative stress index compared with controls as a result of increased levels of serum oxidants and decreases in total antioxidant activity. The overall decrease in antioxidant activity occurred despite increases in three important antioxidant enzymes, suggesting an imbalance between antioxidant macromolecules/small molecules production and antioxidant enzyme levels. Surprisingly, the bone-targeted antiresorptives bis-enoxacin and alendronate inhibited increases in oxidative stress caused by periodontitis. Bis-enoxacin, which has both antiresorptive and antibiotic activities, was more effective than alendronate, which acts only as an antiresorptive.

[Q]: Secreted phospholipases A(2) (sPLA(2)s) are released in plasma and other biologic fluids of patients with inflammatory, autoimmune, and allergic diseases.', 'We sought to evaluate sPLA(2) activity in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of asthmatic patients and to examine the expression and release of sPLA(2)s from primary human lung mast cells (HLMCs).', 'sPLA(2) activity was measured in BALF and supernatants of either unstimulated or anti-IgE-activated HLMCs as hydrolysis of oleic acid from radiolabeled Escherichia coli membranes. Expression of sPLA(2)s was examined by using RT-PCR. The release of cysteinyl leukotriene (LT) C(4) was measured by means of enzyme immunoassay.', 'Phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) activity was higher in the BALF of asthmatic patients than in the control group. BALF PLA(2) activity was blocked by the sPLA(2) inhibitors dithiothreitol and Me-Indoxam but not by the cytosolic PLA(2) inhibitor AZ-1. HLMCs spontaneously released a PLA(2) activity that was increased on stimulation with anti-IgE. This PLA(2) activity was blocked by dithiothreitol and Me-Indoxam but not by AZ-1. HLMCs constitutively express mRNA for group IB, IIA, IID, IIE, IIF, III, V, X, XIIA, and XIIB sPLA(2)s. Anti-IgE did not modify the expression of sPLA(2)s. The cell-impermeable inhibitor Me-Indoxam significantly reduced (up to 40%) the production of LTC(4) from anti-IgE-stimulated HLMCs.

[Q]: GH acts through the GH receptor (GHR), whose polymorphisms might affect the growth response to recombinant human GH (rhGH).', 'The objective of this study was to investigate possible influences of GHR polymorphisms on the growth response to rhGH in GH-deficient (GHD) children.', 'This was a 2-yr study (first year, spontaneous growth; second year, growth during rhGH treatment).', 'This study was performed at a referral center.', 'Fifty-four prepubertal GHD children (11 females; mean age, 7.8 yr; sd, 3.96) were studied.', 'Patients were treated with rhGH (0.2 mg/kg.wk) for at least 1 yr after diagnosis. Growth velocity (GV) was measured 1 yr before treatment and during the first treatment year. GHR exons were amplified by PCR using pairs of intronic primers. The presence of single or multiple mismatches in the PCR products was revealed by denaturing high-pressure liquid chromatography. For exons in which mismatches were found by denaturing high-pressure liquid chromatography, direct sequencing was performed by automatic sequencer.', 'Before the start of treatment, the mean height (Ht) sd score was -1.93 (sd, 0.70), and the mean GV sd score was -1.49 (sd, 1.26).', 'The posttreatment (first 12 months) mean GV sd score was 3.55 (sd, 3.27). Molecular analysis revealed a high frequency of GHR polymorphisms; in particular: exon 3 deletion (Del 3) in 26 subjects (48%), polymorphism 504 A>G at codon 168 of exon 6 in 44 (82%), and polymorphism 1576 A>C at codon 526 of exon 10 in 35 (65%). In most patients, these different polymorphisms recurred in association. We found no significant differences in GV between the groups of subjects defined by the polymorphic genotypes.
