Gitelman disease associated with growth hormone deficiency, disturbances in vasopressin secretion and empty sella: a new hereditary renal tubular-pituitary syndrome?

abstract：:Studies were conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of a synthetic peptide-containing surfactant in the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm (approximately 80% of normal gestation) infant rhesus monkeys. Surfactant was prepared consisting of the phospholipids dipalmitoylphosphatidyl choline...
