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: Animal experiment studies have revealed a positive association between intake of citrus fruits and bone health. Nomilin, a limonoid present in citrus fruits, is reported to have many biological activities in mammalian systems, but the mechanism of nomilin on bone metabolism regulation is currently unclear.', 'To reveal the mechanism of nomilin on osteoclastic differentiation of mouse primary bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) and the mouse RAW 264.7 macrophage cell line into osteoclasts.', 'Controlled laboratory study. Effects of nomilin on osteoclastic differentiation were studied in in vitro cell cultures.', 'Cell viability of RAW 264.7 cells and BMMs was measured with the Cell Counting Kit. TRAP-positive multinucleated cells were counted as osteoclast cell numbers. The number and area of resorption pits were measured as bone-resorbing activity. Osteoclast-specific genes expression was evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR; and proteins expression was evaluated by western blot.', 'Nomilin significantly decreased TRAP-positive multinucleated cell numbers compared with the control, and exhibited no cytotoxicity. Nomilin decreased bone resorption activity. Nomilin downregulated osteoclast-specific genes, NFATc1 and TRAP mRNA levels. Furthermore, nomilin suppressed MAPK signaling pathways.
Answer: This study demonstrates clearly that nomilin has inhibitory effects on osteoclastic differentiation in vitro. These findings indicate that nomilin-containing herbal preparations have potential utility for the prevention of bone metabolic diseases.

SOLUTION: Does citrus limonoid nomilin inhibit osteoclastogenesis in vitro by suppression of NFATc1 and MAPK signaling pathways?

PROBLEM: Context: To assessdoctor's knowledge on the relevance of the problem of sleep disorders, methods of their diagnosis and treatment.", 'The survey was conducted among90physicians of different the rapeuticspecialties of Kazan medical institutions.', 'The doctors believe that main causes of sleep disorders are stressors (20%), depression (13%), neurosis (13%), chronic diseases (13%), asthenia (10%), pain (10%). An analysis of treatment prescribed to patients with sleep disorders revealed large differences.
Answer: Physicians are not well informed about the problems of sleep disorders, have a small idea of the methods of sleepresearch and drugs for their treatment as well as of a sequence of operations that should be used to resolve this problem.

SOLUTION: Do [ What do the doctors of different specialties know about sleep disorders and their treatment ]?

PROBLEM: Context: Given the presence of morphine, its metabolites and precursors in mammalian and invertebrate tissues, it became important to determine if exposing tissues to an opiate alkaloid precursor, reticuline, would result in increasing endogenous morphine levels.', 'Endogenous morphine levels were determined by high pressure liquid chromatography coupled to electrochemical detection and radioimmunoassay following incubation of Mytilus edulis pedal ganglia with reticuline. Nitric oxide (NO) release was determined in real-time via an amperometric probe. Mu opiate receptor affinity for opiate alkaloid precursors was determined by a receptor displacement assay.', 'Morphine is present in the pedal ganglia of Mytilus edulis (1.43 +/- 0.41 ng/mg +/- SEM ganglionic wet weight). Ganglia incubated with 50 ng of reticuline, a morphine precursor in plants, for 1 hour exhibited a statistical increase in their endogenous morphine levels (6.7 +/- 0.7 ng/mg tissue wet weight; P<0.01). This phenomenon is concentration dependent. The increase in ganglionic morphine levels occurs gradually over the 60 min incubation period, beginning 10 minutes post reticuline addition. We show that reticuline (10(-6) M) does not stimulate ganglionic NO release in a manner resembling that of morphine (10(-6) M), which releases NO seconds after its exposure to the ganglia and lasts for 5 minutes. With reticuline, there is a 3 minute delay, which is followed by an extended release period. Furthermore, in binding displacement experiments both reticuline and salutaridine (another morphine precursor) exhibit no binding affinity for the pedal ganglia mu opiate receptor subtype. This finding is further substantiated using the positive control of human monocytes where the mu3 opiate receptor subtype has been cloned.
Answer: Taken together, we surmise that the morphine's precursors are being converted to morphine. The experiments strongly indicate that pedal ganglia can synthesize morphine from reticuline.

SOLUTION:
Does reticuline exposure to invertebrate ganglia increase endogenous morphine levels?
