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.

Input: Consider Input: Surgery has been the gold standard in the treatment of adult pyloric stenosis (APS). The introduction of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in 1989 revolutionised the treatment of peptic ulcer disease and its complications.', 'We carried out a prospective study to evaluate the effectiveness of PPIs as an alternative to surgery for treatment of APS. Six consecutive patients admitted with a diagnosis of adult peptic pyloric stenosis between November 1999 and August 2002 were studied. The diagnosis was confirmed with endoscopy. All patients were commenced on a twice-daily dose of intravenous PPI. This was changed to oral treatment after 2 days. Main outcome measures evaluated were resolution of symptoms on PPIs and failure of medical therapy.', 'There were five females and one male. Median age at diagnosis was 72 years (range, 30-90 years). Median duration of symptoms was 2 weeks (range, 1-5 weeks). Of the patients, five had a history of peptic ulcer disease. Complete resolution was achieved in 5 patients (83%). Median duration for resolution of symptoms was 9 days (range, 5-14 days). All patients were changed to oral PPIs after 2 days. One patient did not respond to oral therapy and required surgical intervention (pyloroplasty). Median follow-up was 26 months (range, 6-48 months). There was no recurrence of symptoms. All patients were discharged on low-dose PPI.

Output: Is proton pump inhibition a feasible primary alternative to surgery and balloon dilatation in adult peptic pyloric stenosis ( APS ) : report of six consecutive cases?

Input: Consider Input: Large concentrations of meperidine inhibit N-methyl-D-aspartate-(NMDA) receptor channels by channel block mechanisms. Extracellular pH regulates the activity and drug sensitivity of NMDA-receptor channels. We examined the influence of extracellular pH on sensitivity to meperidine of epsilon/zeta heteromeric NMDA-receptor channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Inhibition of epsilon1/zeta1, epsilon2/zeta1, epsilon3/zeta1, and epsilon4/zeta1 channels by meperidine was dependent on pH, with more inhibition at acidic pH and less inhibition at alkaline pH. The degree of voltage-dependence of meperidine block was only slightly affected by changes in pH, whereas affinity for meperidine was greatly reduced at alkaline pH. Furthermore, interaction of meperidine with Mg(2+) block was reduced at alkaline pH. Because the percentage of the protonated form of meperidine is only slightly affected by pH, changes in properties of the meperidine binding site may be involved in mechanisms of alteration of meperidine potency by pH.

Output: Is n-methyl-D-aspartate receptor channel block by meperidine dependent on extracellular pH?

Input: Consider Input: Despite recent advances in preoperative diagnostic imaging and operative techniques, biliary variation of the donor still remains a challenge in the procurement of graft. The supraportal right bile duct (BD) variant including presentation as trifurcation is a potential trap for injuring the remnant bile duct of donor.', 'Before living/related-donor liver transplantation (LRLT), cholangiogram with magnetic resonance images of each donor was performed as a routine. After exploration of the donor before hilar dissection, intraoperative chloangiography (IOC) was routinely performed. Among the supraportal right bile duct variants, if the preoperative cholangiography showed a suspected trifurcation of the bile duct, we then performed 3 sessions of IOC during liver graft procurement, including prior to hilar dissection, before the division of bile ducts and after the division. We reviewed the cholangiogram and the postoperative laboratory data of a consecutive series of 25 donors of LRLT.', 'There was no division injury of the remnant bile duct of all of the donors.
Output: Is repeated introperative cholangiography helpful for donor safety in the procurement of right liver graft with supraportal right bile duct variants in living-donor liver transplantation?
