??Abstract??Objective??To investigate alterations of circulating levels of the inflammatory markers— reflecting brain and adipose tissue inflammation—in the fetal growth restriction??FGR??fetuses and newborns??and explore its possible relation ship with adverse intrauterine development. Methods??Sixty parturients??hospitalized in Shengjing hospital of China Medical University??giving consecutively birth either to 30 appropriate for gestational-age??AGA?? singleton infants ??AGA group ?? or 30 FGR full-term singleton infants ??FGR group????were recruited.Plasm hs-CRP??PAI-1??S100B and leptin levels were determined by enzyme link immune assay??ELISA??in the umbilical cords blood ??UC ?? and venous blood from neonates on postnatal day 1 ??D1?? and day 4??D4??. Results??The birth weight??body length and the body mass index ??BMI?? of the FGR neonates were significantly lower compared with those of AGA group ??P < 0.05??.The leptin levels of UC in the FGR neonates were lower than that in the AGA groups??P < 0.05????and correlated positively with the birth weights and the BMI??P < 0.05??.Plasma hs-CRP levels did not differ significantly at all time points between AGA and FGR groups??P > 0.05??.hs-CRP levels in Umbilical cords blood were significantly decreased when compared with D1 hs-CRP in both AGA and FGR groups ??P < 0.05????and D1 hs-CRP was significantly increasedwhen compared with respective D4 hs-CRP??P < 0.05??.Plasma PAI-1 and S100B levels did not differ significantly at all time points between AGA and FGR groups??P > 0.05????and did not correlated with the birth weights and the BMI. Conclusion??Despite the lower birth weight??BMI and leptin levels in FGRs?? there was no difference for the levels of inflammatory markers hs-CRP and PAI-1 between IUGR and AGA fetuses/neonates.The CRP level in both studied groups fluctuated from fetus to neonate stage might attribute to parturition stress and adaptation recovery. 相似文献

??Objective To investigate the predictive value of lipopolysaccharide binding protein ??LBP?? in early diagnosis of preterm infection with premature rupture of membrane??PROM??. Methods Totally 93 preterm infants with PROM were enrolled in this study?? and were divided into infection group ??45 cases?? and non-infection group ??48 cases?? according to the discharge diagnosis. Their serum LBP levels were detected within 24 hours after birth. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein ??hs-CRP???? procalcitonin ??PCT?? and interleukin-6 ??IL-6?? levels were compared with LBP. Receiver operator characteristic curve ??ROC?? was drawn and the area under the curve ??AUC?? was calculated. Each parameter was evaluated for the diagnosis of early-onset infection in preterm infants with PROM. In addition?? according to the severity of the disease infection group was further divided into severe infection group??21 cases?? and general infection group??24 cases??. LBP levels were detected in two groups of premature infants to assess the value of LBP in the diagnosis of premature infants with premature rupture of membranes. Results The serum levels of IL-6?? PCT and LBP in the infection group were significantly higher than those in the non-infection group. There was no significant difference on serum levels of hs-CRP between the two groups. The level of LBP in the severe infection group was higher than that in the general infection group?? and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant. The AUC of ROC for LBP ??0.974?? in early-onset bacterial infection of preterm infants with PROM was the highest?? PCT ??0.694?? second?? IL- 6 ??0.588?? third?? and hs-CRP ??0.478?? was the lowest. Conclusion Serum level of LBP is superior to hs-CRP and PCT in the diagnosis of early-onset bacterial infection in preterm infants with PROM. LBP can be used as a useful index for the early diagnosis of bacterial infection in preterm infants with PROM. LBP levels can evaluate the severity of premature premature infection in preterm premature rupture of membranes. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: Overweight children are at increased risk for many medical problems. Trauma is the leading etiology of childhood morbidity and mortality. No previous study has evaluated the association between overweight and acute ankle injuries in children. We hypothesized that being overweight is associated with an increased risk of ankle injury in children. METHODS: We conducted a case-control study in an urban pediatric emergency department. Subjects aged 5 to 19 years were recruited from June 2005 through July 2006. Children with acute ankle trauma were enrolled as cases. A convenience sample of children with a chief complaint of fever, headache, or sore throat was enrolled as controls. Demographic information and anthropometric measurements were obtained. Age- and gender-specific body mass index percentiles (BMI-Ps) were calculated using pediatric norms. Multivariate unconditional logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between overweight and ankle injury, adjusting for demographic variables. Through medical records, we obtained demographic information and weight, but not height, of all cases that were not enrolled. This allowed us to conduct a sensitivity analysis in which we combined the enrolled and nonenrolled cases into a single case group and made increasingly more unlikely assumptions about the height percentiles of the nonenrolled cases. RESULTS: One hundred eighty cases and 180 controls were enrolled in the study. We observed a significant association between overweight and ankle injury (multivariate-adjusted odds ratio 3.26, 95% confidence interval, 1.86-5.72; P value for trend <.0001). Although this result may be an overestimate of the magnitude of the association due to a possible bias in the selection of cases, sensitivity analysis demonstrated the robustness of the statistical significance of the finding. CONCLUSIONS: Overweight children may be at increased risk of ankle injury. 相似文献

Background: Studies from developed Western countries have shown inconsistent associations between breast-feeding and overweight/obesity in children and adolescents. Few data are available from Asian populations. The purpose of the present study was therefore to evaluate the association between breast-feeding and overweight/obesity in a study of 10–12-year-old children in Singapore.
Methods: A total of 797 school children (49% girls, 76% Chinese) who participated in the Singapore Cohort Study of the Risk Factors for Myopia (SCORM) were examined. Overweight/obesity ( n = 179) was defined as age–sex-specific body mass index (BMI) cut-offs corresponding to BMI of 25 kg/m2 for overweight and 30 kg/m2 for obesity at age 18 based on the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) reference.
Results: The prevalence of overweight/obesity was 22.5%. Overall, breast-feeding was not found to be associated with overweight/obesity. After adjusting for potential confounders, the multivariable odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of overweight/obesity was 1.14 (0.80–1.63) for ever breast-fed compared with never breast-fed, 1.00 (0.57–1.72) for breast-fed for >3 months compared to ≤3 months and 0.79 (0.47–1.34) for exclusive/mostly breast-fed compared to partly breast-fed.
Conclusions: No significant associations were detected among breast-feeding, its type, and duration with overweight/obesity in this Asian cohort of 10–12-year-old children. 相似文献

Aims: To trial the collection of measurements to provide population‐based prevalence of overweight and obesity in school children in western Sydney and examine the association between healthy weight and ethnicity and socio‐economic status (SES) in a socio‐economically and culturally diverse population. Methods: A cross‐sectional population‐based survey of 2341 children in Years 4 and 7 (mean ages 9 and 12 years, respectively) in 2007. Results: Nineteen per cent of children were overweight and a further 6% were obese. The prevalence of combined overweight and obesity was similar for boys and girls (26% vs. 24%, P= 0.35). SES was significantly associated with the prevalence of unhealthy weight: the odds of being overweight or obese were 1.79 times (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.35 to 2.36) higher for children from the lowest quartile than for children from the highest quartile. Compared to children from an English speaking background, children from a non‐English speaking background were significantly more likely to be overweight or obese (21% vs. 31%, P < 0.001). The prevalence of combined overweight and obesity was significantly higher for children from a Pacific Island (odds ratio (OR) 2.66, 95% CI 1.63 to 4.33), Middle Eastern (OR 1.63, 95% CI 1.22 to 2.17) or European (OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.12 to 2.49) background than for English speaking background children. Conclusion: Large jumps in the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children observed from the 1980s appear to be diminishing, with comparable prevalence reports in 2004 and 2007. Ethnicity and SES are each independently associated with the prevalence of unhealthy weight in children. 相似文献

AIM: To determine the regional prevalence, secular and family-related trends of obesity and overweight among 10-y-old children. METHODS: A cross-sectional study of 10-y-old children, born in 1990, was performed during September 2000 to June 2001 at school health centres in three communities in the western part of Sweden. Evaluation was performed in 6311 children, or 81% of the target population. Data from a cohort of children, born in 1974, who form the national growth charts, were available for comparison. RESULTS: The mean body mass index was 17.9 kg/m2 in 10-y-old children born in 1990 and 17.0 kg/m2 for 10-y-olds born in 1974 (p < 0.0001). Of the 10-y-old children in 2000-2001, born in 1990, 18% were overweight and 2.9 % obese, which corresponds to a twofold increase in presence of overweight and a fourfold increase in presence of obesity among 10-y-old children from 1984 to 2000. There was a significant correlation between parental and child body mass index. The prevalence of obesity and being overweight appeared to be higher in children whose parents did not participate in the study. CONCLUSION: During a 16-y period, from 1984 to 2000, a twofold increase in being overweight and a fourfold increase in obesity were seen among 10-y-old children in the western part of Sweden. Parental ponderosity or reluctance to participate in the study was related to a higher prevalence of being overweight or obese in the children. There is a need for the healthcare system to recognize the threats to the health of the population of this new "epidemic" and initiate preventive measures and treatment programmes. 相似文献

Background: Most studies regarding the association of obesity with asthma have been performed in the Western countries. This study is a nationwide survey conducted in Japan. Methods: A cross‐sectional and questionnaire‐based survey was performed among children aged 6–7, 13–14, and 16–17 years, using the ISAAC questionnaire. Overweight was defined as BMI ≥ 90th according to the reference values for Japanese children obtained during 1978–1981. Results: Of a total of 179 218 children, 149 464 replied to the questionnaire (response rate 83.4%). After omitting incomplete data, 139 117 were analyzed. In all the age groups, being overweight was associated with current asthma after adjustment for confounding factors (adjusted OR: 1.24 in children 6–7 years of age, 1.31 in those 13–14 years, and 1.32 in those 16–17 years). These tendencies were observed in both genders. Overweight was a risk factor for nocturnal cough, independent of current asthma in the older age groups (adjusted OR: 1.21 in children 13–14 years, and 1.17 in those 16–17 years). Conclusions: There is a clear association between obesity and current asthma in Japanese school‐aged children. Mechanisms through which obesity related with nocturnal cough might be different from those of obesity‐associated asthma. 相似文献
