Steroid and growth hormone levels in premature infants after prenatal betamethasone therapy to prevent respiratory distress syndrome.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) results from vasoconstriction and/or vascular remodeling, which can be regulated by mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). MAPKs are deactivated by dual-specificity phosphatases (DUSPs). We hypothesized that single-nucleotide p...
