Background: Previous literature has shown a significant association between sleep and depression, whereas limited studies have examined the association of sleep quality with self-harm ideation in pregnant Chinese women.

Methods: A total of 898 pregnant women (first to third trimester) from the Young Investigation Study were enrolled in this study. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire was used to assess sleep quality.

[Effects of the timing of complementary food on infant physical development].

Objective: To analyze the timing of supplementary food and its effect on the development of infants at 6-8 months of age.

Methods: A total of 168 breastfed healthy infants in Beijing and Chenzhou were selected and followed up from birth to 8 months of age. According to the time of the first supplementary food addition, the survey subjects were divided into a reasonable supplementary food group and an unreasonable supplementary food group.

Maternal diet associated with infants' intestinal microbiota mediated by predominant long-chain fatty acid in breast milk.

Introduction: Long-chain fatty acids in breast milk are affected by the mother's diet and play an important role in the growth, development, and immune construction of infants. This study aims to explore the correlation between maternal diet, breast milk fatty acids (FAs), and the infant intestinal flora.

Methods: We enrolled 56 paired mothers and their infants; both breast milk samples and infants' fecal samples were collected to determine the long-chain FA content of breast milk by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS), and metagenomic technology was applied to determine the microbial composition of infant feces.

Perinatal depression and serum vitamin D status: A cross-sectional study in urban China.

Background: Although vitamin D has been found to be associated with perinatal depression, the results are inconsistent. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the association between vitamin D and PND in Chinese pregnant women and lactating women.

Methods: A total of 1773 participants were included, including 907 lactating women and 866 pregnant women.

Dietary Diversity, Micronutrient Adequacy and Bone Status during Pregnancy: A Study in Urban China from 2019 to 2020.

Diet quality during reproduction is crucial to maternal and infant health. However, the association between dietary diversity and bone health of pregnant women remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate the dietary quality of Chinese urban gravidas using the dietary diversity score (DDS), and to explore the relationship of the DDS with micronutrient adequacy and bone health.

Consumption of Added Sugar among Chinese Toddlers and Its Association with Picky Eating and Daily Screen Time.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationship between daily screen time, picky eating, and consumption frequency of sugared foods and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs). Methods: The research data came from the Young Investigation (YI) study conducted in 10 cities in China. This study used sociodemographic information, feeding behavior, picky eating reported by parents, and the consumption frequency of sugared foods and SSBs of 879 toddlers aged 1−3 years.

The Association between Postpartum Practice and Chinese Postpartum Depression: Identification of a Postpartum Depression-Related Dietary Pattern.

Conflicting results of Chinese traditional postpartum practices have aroused concerns over their health effects. The role of postpartum practices in postpartum depression (PPD) is still a matter of discussion, especially from a dietary practice point of view. The current study was designed to (1) explore the association between postpartum practices and PPD, (2) to identify the dietary pattern related to PPD, and (3) to identify the possible pathways among postpartum practices and PPD.

Association between Milk Intake and All-Cause Mortality among Chinese Adults: A Prospective Study.

Background: Little is known about the effect of milk intake on all-cause mortality among Chinese adults. The present study aimed to explore the association between milk intake and all-cause mortality in the Chinese population.

Methods: Data from 1997 to 2015 of the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) were used.

Feeding Difficulty Among Chinese Toddlers Aged 1-3 Years and Its Association With Health and Development.

Feeding problems are biopsychosocial in nature and have a great influence on children's growth. The aim of this study was to profile the status and possible influencing factors of feeding difficulty among normal Chinese toddlers, and to investigate its association with health and development.

Molecular characterization, tissue distribution, subcellular localization and actin-sequestering function of a thymosin protein from silkworm.

We identified a novel gene encoding a Bombyx mori thymosin (BmTHY) protein from a cDNA library of silkworm pupae, which has an open reading frame (ORF) of 399 bp encoding 132 amino acids. It was found by bioinformatics that BmTHY gene consisted of three exons and two introns and BmTHY was highly homologous to thymosin betas (Tβ). BmTHY has a conserved motif LKHTET with only one amino acid difference from LKKTET, which is involved in Tβ binding to actin.
