Analysis of serum micro-RNAs as potential biomarker in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

abstract：:The diabetic pregnancy is characterized by a delay in the process of fetal lung maturation. To determine whether high glucose conditions per se have an adverse impact on fetal lung phospholipid metabolism, 20-day fetal rat lung explants were cultured in F-12 medium (10 mM glucose) to which glucose was added to achieve...
