Does the timing of delivery of infants with gastroschisis influence outcome?
Delivery before 36 weeks is associated with longer hospitalization and increased tune to attainment of full feeds compared with later delivery. Fetal well-being should thus be the primary determinant of delivery for gastroschisis, as opposed to considerations regarding possible injurious effects to the bowel of prolonged gestation.
The study showed that serum let-7 expression level could reflect the proliferation of tumor tissue reliably in patients with lung cancer. Furthermore, the study might change conventional views of accelerated reproliferation. We showed that initial accelerated proliferation exists in patients with a relatively slow proliferation rate before radiotherapy, and late course accelerated reproliferation exists in patients with relatively fast proliferation before radiotherapy.
