Introduction: Given the rising number of studies on synthetic osmotic dilators, there is a lack of comprehensive reviews for their use compared with other commonly used cervical ripening methods. This study aimed to examine the maternal and neonatal safety and efficacy in cervical ripening and labor induction using synthetic osmotic dilators compared with pharmacologic agents (prostaglandin E, prostaglandin E, oxytocin) for labor induction.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies was conducted, using MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library databases search.

Objective: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a prevalent chronic pulmonary disorder predominantly affecting preterm infants, is characterized by impaired lung development and persistent inflammatory-mediated lung injury. Dermal fibroblast-derived exosomes (DF-Exos) have been demonstrated to alleviate inflammation and promote epithelial tissue repair; however, their role in lung injury remains to be elucidated. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of DF-Exos on BPD and explore their relationship with autophagy.
