An evolutionary genomic approach to identify genes involved in human birth timing. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2011
Coordination of fetal maturation with birth timing is essential for mammalian reproduction. In humans, preterm birth is a disorder of profound global health significance.

Early changes in pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in neonates with encephalopathy are associated with remote epilepsy. [PDF]

, 2019
BackgroundNeonatal seizures are associated with adverse neurologic sequelae including epilepsy in childhood. Here we aim to determine whether levels of cytokines in neonates with brain injury are associated with acute symptomatic seizures or remote ...

The immunological age prediction of monocytes indicates that gestational diabetes mellitus accelerates the aging of monocytes in offspring

Immunity & Ageing
Recent studies have suggested that gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can accelerate cellular aging in multiple cell types in offspring, but its impact on immune senescence remains uncertain. Our prior study reveals GDM increased the secretion of inflammatory factors by monocytes in offspring. This study discovered the transcriptome characteristics of

Correlation properties of spontaneous motor activity in healthy infants: a new computer-assisted method to evaluate neurological maturation [PDF]

, 2018
Qualitative assessment of spontaneous motor activity in early infancy is widely used in clinical practice. It enables the description of maturational changes of motor behavior in both healthy infants and infants who are at risk for later neurological ...

Pre-reproductive parental enriching experiences influence progeny’s developmental trajectories [PDF]

, 2018
While the positive effects of environmental enrichment (EE) applied after weaning, in adulthood, during aging, or even in the presence of brain damage have been widely described, the transgenerational effects of pre-reproductive EE have been less ...

Role of osteoprotegerin/receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B/receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand axis in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease [PDF]

, 2018
Concomitantly with the increase in the prevalences of overweight/obesity, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has worldwide become the main cause of chronic liver disease in both adults and children.

Report on an international workshop on kangaroo mother care: lessons learned and a vision for the future. [PDF]

, 2018
Globally, complications of prematurity are the leading cause of death in children under five. Preterm infants who survive their first month of life are at greater risk for various diseases and impairments in infancy, childhood and later life ...

Prenatal prediction of neonatal haemodynamic adaptation after maternal hyperoxygenation

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2020
The reactivity of the pulmonary vascular bed to the administration of oxygen is well established in the post-natal circulation. The vasoreactivity demonstrated by the fetal pulmonary artery Doppler waveform in response to maternal hyperoxia has been ...

Accelerated placental aging mediated the association between prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and small-for-gestational age newborns

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Whether prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is a risk factor for small-for-gestational-age (SGA) neonates remain elusive, yet even less is known on the role of premature placental aging in this potential adverse effect. In this analysis of 1046 maternal-infant dyads, 30 legacy and emerging PFAS were measured from maternal ...

Evaluation of the Acceleration and Deceleration Phase-Rectified Slope to Detect and Improve IUGR Clinical Management [PDF]

, 2015
Objective. This study used a new method called Acceleration (or Deceleration) Phase-Rectified Slope, APRS (or DPRS) to analyze computerized Cardiotocographic (cCTG) traces in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), in order to calculate acceleration- and
