In addition, we have been offering delivery of these apparently uncomplicated monochorionic twins at approximately 34 to 35 weeks' gestation following antenatal corticosteroid administration and thorough counseling regarding the risks of expectant management versus elective preterm delivery.
Prostaglandin E 2 is a major cyclooxygenase metabolite of arachidonic acid which exerts diverse effects on vascular smooth muscle tone and epithelial solute transport via G-protein coupled receptors [ 1 2 ] . At least four distinct G-protein coupled PGE 2 receptors have been cloned: the EP 1 , EP 2 , EP 3 , and EP 4 [ 1 ] . Pharmacological studies suggest PGE 2 relaxes vascular smooth muscle through two of these receptors, the EP 2 and EP 4 receptors, which couple to cyclic-AMP generation [ 3 ] . In contrast, PGE 2 constricts other vascular smooth muscle through EP 3 receptors which inhibit cAMP generation via G i or EP 1 receptors which increase Ca 2+mobilization [ 3 ] . Although both EP 2 and EP 4 receptors relax smooth muscle, EP 2 receptors are uniquely sensitive to the agonists butaprost and AH13205 [ 3 4 ] . Previous studies have shown that PGE 2 increases the cAMP concentration in many tissues including kidney, intestine and uterus, but the relative contribution of EP 2 versus EP 4 receptors to these effects is incompletely defined [ 5 6 ] . Recent studies in mice with targeted disruption of these receptors have suggested an important role for EP2 receptor in regulating systemic hemodynamics.
In many cases, it must be acknowledged, the speaker or writer has not been exposed to the opportunities that would enable him to distinguish between what is regarded as standard usage versus nonstandard, hence, it might be said that he is not responsible for using nonstandard English.
Thus, our motivation and hope in presenting this investigation of the statistical power of intersection tests versus two marker tests is to make clear the compound framework and resulting evidence under which intersection tests are indeed equal to and/or more powerful than the complicated procedures based on two marker models.
