To evaluate and analyze the effect of foetal endocsopic tracheal occlusion (FETO) therapy on survival rates of neonatal with congenital diaphragmatic hernia and maternal complications. We performed a systemic review and meta-analysis of three randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The combined data on neonatal survival rates, length of gestational age and rates of premature rupture of membrane fr...

Background: Premature rupture of the membrane (PROM) is a major cause of preterm birth, and the mechanisms still not fully defined. However, the mechanisms for PROM still not fully defined. This study investigated the roles of p38 in regulation the expression of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in fetal membranes of patients with preterm premature rupture of membrane (PPROM) and full-term premature rupture of ...
