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: Significant improvement in myocardial recovery has been shown previously with interventions to decrease reactive oxygen species after ischemia/hypoxia. We investigated whether co-administration of N-acetylcysteine (NAC, a scavenger for reactive oxygen species) and N (G)-monomethyl-L: -arginine (L-NMMA, a non-selective nitric oxide synthase inhibitor) results in better hemodynamic recovery.', 'Controlled, block-randomized study.', 'University research laboratory.', 'Mixed breed piglets (1-4d, 1.6-2.4 kg).', 'Acutely instrumented piglets received normocapnic alveolar hypoxia (10-15% oxygen) for 2 h followed by reoxygenation with 100% oxygen (1 h) then 21% oxygen (3 h). After reoxygenation, hypoxic-reoxygenated piglets were given either saline (controls), NAC [30 mg/kg bolus + 20 mg/(kg h) infusion], NMMA [0.1 mg/kg bolus + 0.1 mg/(kg h) infusion] or NAC + L-NMMA via intravenous infusion in a blinded, randomized fashion (n = 8/group). Sham-operated piglets had no hypoxia-reoxygenation (n = 5).', 'Both cardiac index and stroke volume of hypoxia-reoxygenation controls remained depressed during reoxygenation (vs. normoxic baseline, p < 0.05). Post-resuscitation treatment with L-NMMA alone did not improve systemic hemodynamic recovery, but caused pulmonary hypertension (vs. controls). In contrast, treating the piglets with either NAC or NAC + L-NMMA improved cardiac index and stroke volume, with no effect on heart rate and blood pressure (vs. controls). These treatments also decreased various oxidative stress markers in myocardial tissues (vs. controls). However, there was no significant difference between NAC- and NAC + L-NMMA groups in all examined parameters.
