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.
question:
Phagocytes, especially monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells, play a pivotal role in the innate and adaptive immune responses during sepsis. We have shown that inhibition of histone deacetylase 6 improves survival and increases bacterial clearance in a mouse model of cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). The aim of this study was to determine whether this effect was associated with changes in the number and composition of different blood cell types in the circulation.', 'C57BL/6J mice were subjected to CLP, and 1h later given an intraperitoneal injection of either Tubastatin A dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide, or dimethyl sulfoxide only. Sham-operated animals were treated in an identical fashion but not subjected to CLP. Forty-eight hours later, peripheral blood was obtained via cardiac puncture and analyzed using a HemaTrue veterinary hematology analyzer.', 'Tubastatin A administration increased the number of circulating monocytes in the sham-operated and the CLP animals. In comparison with the sham, CLP animals displayed an increase in the granulocyte percentage in white blood cells and decrease in the lymphocyte number and percentage, with a resultant increase in the granulocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio. Treatment of CLP animals with Tubastatin A decreased the granulocyte percentage and restored the lymphocyte number and percentage, which decreased the granulocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio. In the sham animals, Tubastatin A increased red blood cell number, hematocrit, and hemoglobin. This effect was not seen in CLP animals.

question:
To determine whether all-trans retinoic acid or a synthetic retinoic acid receptor-/-specific agonist, Am80, can reduce the degree of experimental autoimmune optic neuritis in mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.', 'Optic neuritis was induced in C57BL/6 mice by immunizing them with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein35-55 . All-trans retinoic acid (350g/mouse/time point) or Am80 (5mg/kg/time point) was administered every other day from day 0 to day 20. The degree of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis was scored and histopathological analysis of the optic neuritis was performed on day 22 after the immunization. In vivo-primed draining lymph node cells obtained from vehicle-treated or all-trans retinoic acid-treated mice were stimulated with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein35-55 , and the culture supernatant was collected for assays of interferon- and interleukin-17.', 'All-trans retinoic acid treatment significantly reduced the clinical score of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and the severity of the optic neuritis by histopathological analysis. The production of interferon- and interleukin-17 was significantly reduced in all-trans retinoic acid-treated mice compared with vehicle-treated mice. Am80 treatment also significantly decreased the severity of the optic neuritis in mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.

question:
To study the pathophysiological importance of changes in insulin sensitivity and islet function over time for alterations in glucose tolerance in a randomly selected large group of non-diabetic women aged 57-59 years over a 3-year period.', 'At baseline and at the 3-year follow-up, glucose tolerance (WHO 75 g oral glucose), insulin sensitivity (euglycaemic, hyperinsulinaemic clamp) and insulin and glucagon secretion (2 to 5-min responses to 5 g i.v. arginine at fasting, 14 and > 25 mmol/l glucose) were measured.', 'At baseline, women with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT, n = 28) had lower insulin sensitivity (p = 0.048) than normal women (NGT, n = 58). The arginine-induced insulin responses (AIR) were inversely associated with insulin sensitivity (r > or = -0.55, p < 0.001). When related to the 3-year follow-up, the baseline product of AIR at 14 mmol/l glucose times insulin sensitivity, insulin effect index (IE) (r = -0.40, p < 0.001) and the arginine-induced glucagon response at 14 mmol/l glucose (AGR, r = 0.28, p = 0.009) both correlated with follow-up 2-h glucose. In a multiple regression model, baseline 2-h glucose, insulin effect index and arginine-induced glucagon response independently predicted 2-h glucose at follow-up (total r = 0.668, p < 0.001). Furthermore, delta insulin sensitivity (i. e. follow-up minus baseline) correlated with delta insulin secretion (r = -0.30, p = 0.006), whereas delta glucagon secretion correlated with delta2-h glucose (r = 0.30, p = 0.006) over the 3 years. In a multiple regression, alterations in 2-h glucose over the 3 years were independently determined by changes in fasting insulin and glucagon secretion (r = 0.424, p < 0.001).
