Residential risk factors for childhood pneumonia: A cross-sectional study in eight cities of China.
CONCLUSIONS: Indoor environmental factors including dampness, use of solid fuels or natural gas for cooking and use of new construction materials are risk factors for childhood pneumonia. This study gives evidence for the importance of home environment exposures in the occurrence of childhood pneumonia. Actions against the residential risk factors described in this study may help to prevent pneumonia in children. PMID: 29654951 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Influence of Ethnicity on Exclusively Breast-Fed Infants' Anthropometry in a Multiethnic Asian Population.
CONCLUSION: EBF Chinese infants have increased weights and lengths compared to non-Chinese infants until 8 months' age, despite similar birth anthropometry. This period of discrepant growth coincides with the average duration of breastfeeding. We hypothesise that ethnic variations in breast milk macronutrient composition influence early somatic growth in infants. PMID: 30019065 [PubMed - in process]

Lifetime-ever pneumonia among pre-school children across China - Associations with pre-natal and post-natal early life environmental factors.
CONCLUSIONS: Perinatal and postnatal exposure to mould, mould odour and window pane condensation at home can be early life risk factors for childhood pneumonia in China. Moreover, pre-natal and post-natal exposure to chemical emissions from new furniture and renovation could increase the risk of childhood pneumonia. Breastfeeding, farm exposure, and living in rural or suburban areas could be protective. PMID: 30121466 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Doctor diagnosed asthma and wheeze among Chinese pre-school children in relation to indoor and outdoor air pollution and urbanization
In conclusion, traffic related air pollution (TRAP), dampness or mould and ETS at home can be risk factors for asthma and wheeze among pre-school children in China. Breastfeeding can be protective for asthma. Urbanization was associated with less wheeze but more doctor diagnosed asthma.

The NCATS BioPlanet – An Integrated Platform for Exploring the Universe of Cellular Signaling Pathways for Toxicology, Systems Biology, and Chemical Genomics
We report here the construction, features, and utilization of a comprehensive integrated and non-redundant pathway resource, the NCATS BioPlanet (Figure 1). The resource hosts information only from public sources that have been herein further manually curated to ensure the quality of the data. Along with our pathway warehouse, the NCATS BioPlanet software platform allows easy browsing and visualization of the universe of pathways, and exploration of associations among them. Additionally, we curated the set of annotated pathways in terms of the biological space covered and the current availability of assays, either commerci...

Tetrabromobisphenol A and hexabromocyclododecane isomers in breast milk from the general population in Beijing, China: Contamination levels, temporal trends, nursing infant's daily intake, and risk assessment.
Abstract Two currently used brominated flame retardants (BFRs), α, β, γ-hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) and tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), were measured in 111 breast milk samples from 37 Beijing mothers. Each mother provided one milk sample per month for 3 months. HBCDD was detected in almost all samples, and the median level reached 5.67 ng g-1 lipid weight (lw). α- HBCDD was the most abundant isomer (median: 4.23 ng g-1 lw), followed by γ- and β-HBCDD. For TBBPA, a relatively lower detecting frequency (64%) and contamination level (median: 1.57 ng g-1 lw) were obtained. A comparison to our previous...

Can SARS-CoV-2-infected women breastfeed after viral clearance?
Abstract The recently emerged novel coronavirus pneumonia, named the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), shares several clinical characteristics with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), and spread rapidly throughout China in December of 2019 (Huang et al., 2020). The pathogen 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is now named SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and is highly infectious. As of Apr. 9, 2020, over 80 000 confirmed cases had been reported, with an estimated mortality rate of 4.0% (Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2020). Person-to-person tra...

A Retrospective Case-Control Study of the Determinants of Iron Deficiency Anemia in Infants in an Urban Community in Shanghai, China Between 2010-2015.
CONCLUSIONS The introduction of an iron-fortified formula for exclusively breastfed infants at 4 months of age, starting complementary feeding promptly before 6 months of age, and improving perinatal care for pregnant women to avoid premature birth and reduce low birth weight may be effective measures to prevent IDA.

Interaction effects of significant risk factors on overweight or obesity among 7222 preschool-aged children from Beijing.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings provide evidence that the four significant factors are associated with the risk of childhood overweight or obesity in an additive manner. METHODS: Using a stratified cluster random sampling strategy, 7222 preschool-aged children were analyzed. Childhood overweight and obesity are defined according to the China criteria and two widely-used international growth criteria. PMID: 32741774 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Report on a lactating patient with COVID-19
We report the first confirmed case of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in a lactating patient in Chizhou, Anhui Province, China. The lactating patient presented with intermittent fever for 16  days and cough for 10 days. Given her travel history to the epidemic area and the chest CT scan results, the patient was immediately admitted to the isolation ward of the Infectious Disease Department and breastfeeding was discontinued. Pharyngeal swab specimens tested positive for severe acute r espiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, previously known as 2019-nCoV) in nucleic acid testing. During hospitalization, sh...

Improving maternal and child nutrition in China: an analysis of nutrition policies and programs initiated during the 2000-2015 Millennium Development Goals era and implications for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
CONCLUSION: Nutrition policies and intervention programs promulgated in China during the MDGs era have made major contributions to the rapid decline of undernutrition and are in line to achieve the SDGs related to child wasting, stunting, low birth weight, and anemia in reproductive-age women. However, appropriate policies and program implementation are needed to improve exclusive breastfeeding rates and reduce obesity to achieve the SDGs in years to come.
