Caffeine to improve breathing effort of preterm infants at birth: a randomized controlled trial.

abstract：:To determine whether epidermal growth factor (EGF) or EGF-like transforming growth factors (TGFs) are present in ovine fetal tissues, we have tested acid-ethanol extracts of ovine fetal kidney for the ability to induce anchorage-independent growth of normal rat kidney fibroblasts in soft agar and to compete with 125I-...
