To investigate the effects of exposure to an 1800 MHz electromagnetic field on cell death and cell proliferation in the developing brain, postnatal day 7 (P7) and P21 healthy Kunming mice were randomly assigned into the experimental and control groups. The experimental groups were exposed to an 1800 MHz electromagnetic field for 8 h daily for three consecutive days. The thymidine analog 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) was injected intraperitoneally 1 h before each exposure session, and all animals were sacrificed 24 h after the last exposure.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores how erythropoietin (EPO) affects brain cell growth (proliferation) and death (apoptosis) in newborn rats following brain injury caused by infection.
- Neonatal rats were divided into three groups: a control group, a group receiving only the infection agent lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and a group receiving both LPS and EPO over five days.
- Results showed that EPO increased the number of new neurons compared to the LPS group and decreased the rate of neuron death (apoptosis) in the brain, indicating EPO's potential neuroprotective effects.
Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the risk factors, clinical characteristics, and complications of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in infants delivered very preterm, late preterm, and term in order to help optimize the management of RDS in neonates.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on neonates admitted to the NICU between January 2006 and December 2010. The enrolled infants with RDS were categorized as very preterm (<32(0/7) weeks gestation), moderately preterm (32(0/7)-33(6/7) weeks), late preterm (34(0/7)-36(6/7) weeks), and term (37(0/7)-42(0/7) weeks).

Objective: To understand the risk factors for respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) by comparing the perinatal conditions of preterm infants with different severities of RDS.
Methods: A total of 667 preterm infants with RDS were classified into 4 groups according to the chest X-ray severity: grade I (217 cases), grade II (225 cases), grade III (126 cases) and grade IV (99 cases). The perinatal conditions of the preterm infants were reviewed retrospectively.
