英语学界对“母乳不足”现象的认知进化

“母乳最好”的宣传话语在目前育龄人群中几乎耳熟能详,但很多信奉科学育儿、希望母乳喂养的都市女性却发现母乳喂养困难重重,其中遭遇“母乳不足”的案例较为多见。回顾历史发现,“母乳不足”的现象全球普遍存在,这个话题在20世纪80年代的英语学术圈曾引起热议。经过十余年讨论后,学者们基本认同大部分遭遇母乳不足的女性并不是真正的“母乳不足”,而是由于种种社会文化因素干扰造成母乳喂养失败的这一结论,其中产后初期的奶瓶介入是重要原因。术语也由insufficient milk syndrome变为perceived insufficient milk,以此来强调“母乳不足”不是一种病理现象,而更多是一种文化感知。

New insights into necrotizing enterocolitis: From laboratory observation to personalized prevention and treatment

Background/purpose

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating disease of prematurity that develops after feeding, often without warning, and results in diffuse intestinal necrosis leading to sepsis and death in many cases. The lack of improvement in overall survival is influenced by nonspecific diagnostic modalities as well as inexact and nonpersonalized treatment strategies.

Quantifying breast milk intake by term and preterm infants for input into paediatric physiologically based pharmacokinetic models

Despite the many benefits of breast milk, mothers taking medication are often uncertain about the risks of drug exposure to their infants and decide not to breastfeed. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic models can contribute to drug‐in‐milk safety assessments by predicting the infant exposure and subsequently, risk for toxic effects that would result from continuous breastfeeding. This review aimed to quantify breast milk intake feeding parameters in term and preterm infants using literature data for input into paediatric physiologically based pharmacokinetic models designed for drug‐in‐milk risk assessment. Ovid MEDLINE and Embase were searched up to July 2, 2019. Key study reference lists and grey literature were reviewed. Title, abstract and full text were screened in nonduplicate. Daily weight‐normalized human milk intake (WHMI) and feeding frequency by age were extracted. The review process retrieved 52 studies. A nonlinear regression equation was constructed to describe the WHMI of exclusively breastfed term infants from birth to 1 year of age. In all cases, preterm infants fed with similar feeding parameters to term infants on a weight‐normalized basis. Maximum WHMI was 152.6 ml/kg/day at 19.7 days, and weighted mean feeding frequency was 7.7 feeds/day. Existing methods for approximating breast milk intake were refined by using a comprehensive set of literature data to describe WHMI and feeding frequency. Milk feeding parameters were quantified for preterm infants, a vulnerable population at risk for high drug exposure and toxic effects. A high‐risk period of exposure at 2–4 weeks of age was identified and can inform future drug‐in‐milk risk assessments.     

SARS‐CoV‐2 and human milk: What is the evidence?

The novel coronavirus SARS‐CoV‐2 has emerged as one of the most compelling and concerning public health challenges of our time. To address the myriad issues generated by this pandemic, an interdisciplinary breadth of research, clinical and public health communities has rapidly engaged to collectively find answers and solutions. One area of active inquiry is understanding the mode(s) of SARS‐CoV‐2 transmission. Although respiratory droplets are a known mechanism of transmission, other mechanisms are likely. Of particular importance to global health is the possibility of vertical transmission from infected mothers to infants through breastfeeding or consumption of human milk. However, there is limited published literature related to vertical transmission of any human coronaviruses (including SARS‐CoV‐2) via human milk and/or breastfeeding. Results of the literature search reported here (finalized on 17 April 2020) revealed a single study providing some evidence of vertical transmission of human coronavirus 229E; a single study evaluating presence of SARS‐CoV in human milk (it was negative); and no published data on MERS‐CoV and human milk. We identified 13 studies reporting human milk tested for SARS‐CoV‐2; one study (a non‐peer‐reviewed preprint) detected the virus in one milk sample, and another study detected SARS‐CoV‐2 specific IgG in milk. Importantly, none of the studies on coronaviruses and human milk report validation of their collection and analytical methods for use in human milk. These reports are evaluated here, and their implications related to the possibility of vertical transmission of coronaviruses (in particular, SARS‐CoV‐2) during breastfeeding are discussed.     

Iodine status of breastfed infants and their mothers' breast milk iodine concentration

Iodine is an essential nutrient for growth and development during infancy. Data on iodine status of exclusively (EBF) and partially breastfed (PBF) infants as well as breast milk iodine concentration (BMIC) are scarce. We aimed to assess (a) infant iodine nutrition at the age of 5.5 months by measuring urinary iodine concentration (UIC) in EBF (n = 32) and PBF (n = 28) infants and (b) mothers' breast milk iodine concentration (n = 57). Sixty mother–infant pairs from three primary health care centres in Reykjavik and vicinities provided urine and breast milk samples for iodine analysis and information on mothers' habitual diet. The mother–infant pairs were participants of the IceAge2 study, which focuses on factors contributing to infant growth and development, including body composition and breast‐milk energy content. The median (25th–75th percentiles) UIC was 152 (79–239) μg/L, with no significant difference between EBF and PBF infants. The estimated median iodine intake ranged from 52 to 86 μg/day, based on urinary data (assuming an average urine volume of 300–500 ml/day and UIC from the present study). The median (25th–75th percentiles) BMIC was 84 (48–114) μg/L. It is difficult to conclude whether iodine status is adequate in the present study, as no ranges for median UIC reflecting optimal iodine nutrition exist for infants. However, the results add important information to the relatively sparse literature on UIC, BMIC, and iodine intake of breastfed infants.

牛奶相关症状评分在婴儿牛奶蛋白过敏早期识别中的评价：多中心调查分析

目的评价牛奶相关症状评分(CoMiSS)在早期识别婴儿牛奶蛋白过敏(CMPA)中的作用。方法 2016年6月至2017年5月对6家儿科门诊疑似CMPA的210例婴儿进行CoMiSS评分,通过开放性食物激发试验(OFC)明确或排除CMPA诊断。同期选取96例健康体检婴儿为对照组。通过ROC曲线评估CoMiSS识别CMPA的灵敏度和特异度,评价其在早期识别婴儿CMPA中的作用。结果 210例疑似CMPA婴儿中,男114例、女96例,中位年龄4.5个月(1～12个月);其中82例确诊CMPA,中位CoMiSS为7.0分(6.0～8.3分);128例非CMPA婴儿的中位CoMiSS为4.0分(3.0～5.0分)。96例对照组中,男42例、女54例,中位年龄4.1个月(1～12个月);中位CoMiSS为 3.0分(2.0～4.0分)。三组间CoMiSS差异有统计学意义(H=152.58,P0.01)。CoMiSS的ROC曲线下面积(AUC)为0.90,最佳诊断界值为5.5,灵敏度为87.8%,特异度为78.1%。结论 CoMiSS评分临床可操作性强,适合儿科推广。建议以CoMiSS≥6分作为早期识别CMPA标准。
