Abstract:
Great emphasis has been placed on women and children's health, as priority development area in China. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, women and children's health has stepped into a new historical period and made remarkable progress. In 2021, maternal mortality ratios have decreased to 16.1 cases per 100 000 and infant mortality rates and under-5 mortality rates have decreased to 5.0 cases per 1 000 and 7.1 cases per 1 000. Core indicators have reached a record low. Prevention and treatment on cervical and breast cancer, prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B, heath management for children, and prevention and treatment on birth defects have obtained positive achievements. China has made important contributions to the development of women and children's health in the world.

Abstract:
Monkeypox is a rare, sporadic, acute infectious disease with smallpox-like clinical manifestations caused by monkeypox virus (MPXV). Since May 2022, more than 1 000 laboratory-confirmed cases of monkeypox have been reported worldwide. This is the first time in the world that multiple monkeypox cases and clustered cases have been reported in both non-endemic and endemic countries. The prevention and control of the epidemic presents new challenges. This study reviewed the research progress on the etiological characteristics, epidemic status, epidemiological characteristics, and prevention and control measures of monkeypox virus, in order to provide reference for scientific prevention and control.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the incidence of eczema in preschoolers in China, and to explore its risk factors.  Methods  In this study, 681 children in Chinese Pregnant Women Cohort Study and Offspring Follow-up were included. The demographic information of parents during pregnancy and home environmental factors were investigated by questionnaire. Logistic regression was applied to analyze the influencing factors of eczema in preschoolers.  Results  The incidence of eczema in preschoolers was 23.79%. Our result showed that the risk of eczema in preschoolers whose mothers were multiparae (OR=0.601, 95% CI: 0.398-0.908) is lower than primiparae. 3 to 5 year old children whose mothers (OR=2.191, 95% CI: 1.393-3.447) or fathers (OR=2.008, 95% CI: 1.244-3.239) have an allergic history are more likely to suffer from eczema. Compared with breast feeding, artificial feeding (OR=4.165, 95% CI: 1.450-11.963) and mixed feeding (OR=8.151, 95% CI: 5.165-12.866) were risk factors of infantile eczema. Faded, blackened or mildewed household floors, windowsills or walls also increase the risk of eczema in preschoolers (OR=2.051, 95% CI: 1.094-3.843). Compared to the lower frequency, higher frequency of intake of poultry was significantly associated with an increased risk of eczema (OR=1.145, 95% CI: 1.011-1.297).  Conclusions  Parity, parents' allergic history, feeding patterns, frequency of poultry intake during pregnancy and home environment are associated with eczema in preschoolers, and targeted health education should be strengthened to effectively prevent the occurrence of eczema in 3 to 5 year old children.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyze the risk factors of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and to explore the perinatal outcomes of GDM.  Methods  Data were derived from the Chinese Pregnant Women Cohort Study, and 3 874 pregnant women were included. According to the results of 75 g oral glucose tolerance test, 494 cases were in the GDM group, and 3 380 cases were in the non-GDM group. The clinical characteristics, perinatal outcomes and neonatal outcomes of mothers and infants in each group were recorded, and the data were compared by χ2 test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, Fisher exact probability method and univariate logistic regression analysis.  Results  The incidence of premature delivery and premature rupture of membranes of GDM were higher than those in the normal group, with statistically significant differences (all P < 0.05). The multivariate logistic regression showed that the risk of developing GDM increased with age. In addition, the southern region (OR=1.719, 95% CI: 1.401-2.109, P < 0.001), insufficient weight gain during pregnancy (OR=1.485, 95% CI: 1.164-1.893, P=0.001) and preconception overweight (OR=1.634, 95% CI: 1.241-2.151, P < 0.001) were independent risk factors of GDM.  Conclusion  Advanced age, southern region, overweight before pregnancy and insufficient weight gain during pregnancy are influencing factors of GDM. The related risk factors should be identified as soon as possible and actively intervened, in order to reduce the occurrence of adverse pregnancy outcomes and improve health status of mothers and infants.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the developmental trajectory of depressive symptoms in Chinese women from early to late pregnancy.  Methods  From 21 August 2019 to 28 June 2020, 2 485 pregnant women from several hospitals in China were conducted the follow-up survey of depressive symptoms in early pregnancy (T1, < 13 weeks), mid pregnancy (T2, 20 to 28 weeks) and late pregnancy (T3, 32 to 36 weeks) through a self-administered maternal mental health online survey system using the self-administered basic information questionnaire and the Edinburgh postnatal depression scale. Besides, the data was analyzed using Mplus 8.3 for both latent variable growth curve model and growth mixture model.  Results  A total of 531 pregnant women completed the measurement at three time points during pregnancy. The detection rates of depression were 31.64% in early pregnancy, 23.92% in mid-pregnancy and 25.61% in late pregnancy. The results of the model showed an overall gradual decrease in depressive symptoms during pregnancy from early to late pregnancy, with three potential categories of normal remission group (C1, 67.42%), depression risk group (C2, 28.44%) and depression high risk group (C3, 4.14%). Among of them, the C1 group showed a gradual decrease from early to late pregnancy (xβ=-1.15, P < 0.001); the C2 group showed a steady increase (xβ=0.86, P < 0.001); and the C3 group showed a significant increase (xβ=1.57, P < 0.001).  Conclusion  Depressive symptoms during pregnancy show a linear trajectory of progressive decline from early to late pregnancy as a whole, and there are three potential categories with distinct group heterogeneity.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the relationship between dietary vitamin C intake during pregnancy and preeclampsia (PE) and its clinical subtypes.  Methods  Pregnant women who were delivered in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from March 1, 2012 to September 30, 2016 were selected as the research subjects. Among them, 861 PE pregnant women were used as the case group and 7 987 non-PE pregnant women were used as the control group. Information on demographic characteristics, disease history, family history and dietary intake during pregnancy were collected. Unconditional logistic regression was used to analyze the influence of dietary vitamin C intake during pregnancy on the risk of PE and its clinical subtypes.  Results  After adjusting for maternity age, educational level and other influencing factors, the dietary vitamin C intake of pregnant women reached Q3 level in the first trimester (OR=0.80, 95% CI: 0.64-0.99) and the third trimester (OR=0.78, 95% CI: 0.63-0.97) were negatively related with the risk of PE. After stratifying according to the pre-pregnancy BMI, the dietary vitamin C intake of pregnant women with pre-pregnancy BMI < 24.0 kg/m2 reached Q3 level in the first trimester (OR=0.73, 95% CI: 0.55-0.96), the second trimester (OR=0.71, 95% CI: 0.54-0.93) and the third trimester (OR=0.67, 95% CI: 0.51-0.88) were protective factors for PE. After further exploring the relationship between dietary vitamin C intake of pregnant women with different pre-pregnancy BMI and PE clinical subtypes, it was found that the dietary vitamin C intake of pregnant women with pre-pregnancy BMI < 24.0 kg/m2 Q3 level in the third trimester (OR=0.66, 95% CI: 0.47-0.93) reduced risk of late-onset preeclampsia (LOPE).  Conclusion  Dietary vitamin C intake of pregnant women with Pre-pregnancy BMI < 24.0 kg/m2 at Q3 level had reduced risk of PE, especially for LOPE.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of pregnant women with syphilis and the prevalence of congenital syphilis in their children in Hubei Province, and to explore the related influencing factors of congenital syphilis.  Methods  Data of syphilitic pregnant women was collected from the national integrated prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, syphilis, and HBV information management system from January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2020. The demographic characteristics, detection and treatment of syphilis, and the prevalence of congenital syphilis were analyzed. A multiple logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of congenital syphilis.  Results  The average age of 3 467 syphilis-infected pregnant women was (29.79±5.43) years old, and the rate of mother-to-child transmission was 3.17% (110 cases). About 73.35% (2 543 cases) had received antisyphilitic treatment, 49.21% (1 706 cases) had received standard treatment, and 74.82% (2 594 cases) of children exposed to syphilis received preventive treatment. Multivariate analysis showed that the parturition or postpartum period of syphilis was diagnosed (OR=1.879, 95% CI: 1.237-2.853), the status of syphilis infection of husband/sexual partner (OR=3.762, 95% CI: 1.473-9.608), non-treatment (OR=6.360, 95% CI: 3.316-12.199), nonstandard treatment (OR=4.714, 95% CI: 2.385-9.320), the last non-treponema pallidum antigen serologic test result≥1∶8 (OR=8.908, 95% CI: 1.840-43.131), preventive treatment for exposed children (OR=0.559, 95% CI: 0.369-0.846) and term birth (OR=0.496, 95% CI: 0.300-0.821) were independent factors affecting the prevalence of congenital syphilis (all P < 0.05).  Conclusions  The incidence of congenital syphilis was closely related to the diagnosis period of syphilitic pregnant women, the non-treponema pallidum antigen serologic test result at the last test during pregnancy, treatment condition, the gestational age of delivery, the status of syphilis infection of husband/sexual partner and preventive treatment condition of exposed children. Early diagnosis, standardized treatment and preventive treatment of exposed children were beneficial to reduce the occurrence of congenital syphilis.

2022, 26(9): 1037-1042. doi: 10.16462/j.cnki.zhjbkz.2022.09.009
Abstract(602) HTML (277) PDF(46)
Abstract:
  Objective  The study aimed to investigate the representative mineral levels in breast milk at different lactation stages in China and to provide reference and guidance for future infant formula development.  Methods  A total of 690 healthy parturients at different lactation stages were recruited in Chengdu, Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Changchun, and Lanzhou. Milk was collected from parturients at 0-5 d, 10-14 d, 40-45 d, 200-240 d, and 300-400 d after delivery. Determination of 12 minerals (K, Ca, Na, Mg, P, Fe, Cu, Zn, Se, Mn, Mo and Cr) in breast milk was conducted by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).  Results  Across the 5 lactation periods, Zn dropped dramatically (about 90%) (all P < 0.05). Minerals including K, Na, Zn, Fe, Cu, and Se were significantly affected by lactation time and tended to decrease with the prolonging of lactation time (all P < 0.05), while being stable after 200 days. Ca and P were stable at the early stage and then decreased slightly at the middle-late lactation stage. The content of Mg stayed stable over the lactation period. Except for Ca, P, Cu, and Mg, other minerals showed no significant regional difference (all P > 0.05).  Conclusions  There were differences in the mineral content of breast milk at different lactation stages and different regions. Infant formula should consider the representative levels of mineral content in Chinese breast milk, and be developed according to the nutritional needs of infants at different lactation stages. Meanwhile, the mineral absorption and utilization ratio should be improved to make it more similar to breast milk, so as to meet the growth and development needs of infants without increasing the burden on their kidneys.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the incidence of stunting and underweight of infants in Tibet and its relationship with altitude.  Methods  Multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method was used to select infants aged 0-3 years for on-site physical examination and questionnaire survey of guardians. The propensity score matching method was used to balance the confounding factors between the two comparison groups. Univariate logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between altitude with stunting and underweight.  Results  The incidence of stunting and underweight of infants in Tibet were 20.9% and 8.7%. After conducting 1∶1 propensity score matching method, 324 pair, 648 matched samples were obtained. The confounding factors were balanced between the comparison groups. After matching, compared with infants living at relative low altitude (< 4 000 meters), the OR and 95% CI of stunting and underweight of infants living at high altitude (≥4 000 meters) were 2.31(1.74-3.10) and 1.95(1.27-3.09), respectively. High altitude increased the risk of stunting regardless of gender, family income level and birth weight. while increased the risk of underweight in boy, infants with high family income level, normal birthweight and term production (all P < 0.05).  Conclusions  The growth and development of infants in Tibet is poor. Living at high altitude has a great impact on growth and development of infants.

Abstract:
  Objective  To understand the changing of newborns' birth weight, the characteristics and the related factors of adverse birth outcomes in Guiping County, providing scientific evidence to promote newborns' health in the future.  Methods  The data of newborns were collected from Guiping People's hospital from January first, 2016 to December 31st, 2020. R 4.1.2 version software was used for data description and statistic testing, which included ggplot2, chi-square test, trend chi-square test, t-test, and logistic regression.  Results  There were 25 958 newborns included in the study, with a mean birth weight of (3 054±515) g. The incidence of low birth weight was 10.38%, while the incidence of macrosomia was 2.07%, and the incidence of preterm birth was 11.09%, respectively. Female infants, living in rural areas, and having a high-risk pregnancy were risk factors for low birth weight(OR=1.81, 95% CI: 1.61-2.04; OR=1.56, 95% CI: 1.27-1.90; OR=1.70, 95% CI: 1.44-2.00, respectively); while birth in winter, the second or third parity, and frequent obstetric examinations were protective factors for low birth weight (OR=0.77, 95% CI: 0.65-0.92; OR=0.55, 95% CI: 0.48-0.62; OR=0.50, 95% CI: 0.42-0.59; OR=0.78, 95% CI: 0.67-0.91, respectively). In addition, birth in winter, maternal age 20- < 35 years old and ≥35 years old, the second or third parity, and having high-risk pregnancy were risk factors for macrosomia (OR=1.59, 95% CI: 1.21-2.08; OR=2.94, 95% CI: 1.29-6.71; OR=3.16, 95% CI: 1.35-7.38; OR=1.74, 95% CI: 1.37-2.22; OR=1.73, 95% CI: 1.31-2.29; OR=3.53, 95% CI: 2.66-4.96, respectively). Besides, living in rural areas, paternal ethnicity are other ethnic minorities, having a high-risk pregnancy and multiple fetuses were risk factors for neonatal preterm birth (OR=1.18, 95% CI: 1.01-1.37; OR=1.53, 95% CI: 1.03-2.28; OR=10.20, 95% CI: 8.29-12.55; OR=7.05, 95% CI: 6.17-8.05, respectively), while female infants, the second or third parity, and the number of obstetric examinations were protective factors for preterm birth (OR=0.91, 95% CI: 0.83-0.99; OR= 0.86, 95% CI: 0.77-0.95; OR=0.87, 95% CI: 0.77-0.98; OR=0.37, 95% CI: 0.33-0.42, respectively).  Conclusions  The incidence of preterm birth has decreased during these five years. However, the incidence of low birth weight and macrosomia was still stable or even increasing. It is necessary to carry out high-quality studies to access the causality of related factors and intervention measures to promote newborn health in the future.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the effect of bisphenol A (BPA) on estrogen homeostasis during pregnancy.  Methods  We selected 151 pregnant women in Jiading District, Shanghai, and a questionnaire survey and collection of urine samples were performed for them.The concentrations of BPA, estrone, 17β-estradiol, and estriol in their urine were determined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) and corrected by the level of urinary creatinine.The corrected concentrations were transformed by a natural logarithm.After removing outliers, the relationship between urinary BPA and urinary estrogen was analyzed by multiple linear regression analysis.  Results  The positive rate of urinary BPA in urine samples of pregnant women was 99.34%.After the correction of the urinary creatinine level, the median urinary BPA concentration was 0.65 μg/g.Age, gestational week, total annual household income, second-hand smoke exposure and educational level did not affect urinary BPA level.Urinary estrogen levels were raised with the development of pregnancy.Multiple linear regression analysis showed that urinary BPA level was positively associated with estrone level (β=0.171, 95%CI: 0.006-0.336) and 17β-estradiol level (β=0.137, 95%CI: 0.000-0.274) in all pregnant women.There was a positive correlation between urinary BPA level and urinary estrone level in pregnant women during the third trimester (β=0.449, 95%CI: 0.014-0.884).  Conclusions  Pregnant women in Shanghai are generally exposed to BPA, and the exposure level of BPA during pregnancy may affect estrogen homeostasis.
