Article Synopsis
- Cesarean delivery on maternal request (CDMR) is linked to higher risks of childhood obesity and anemia compared to vaginal delivery (SVD), but not to pneumonia or neurobehavioral disorders.
- The study analyzed data from 17,748 liveborn infants, focusing on 6,972 SVD and 3,626 CDMR cases, assessing health outcomes at ages 1.5 to 5 years.
- Results suggest that women considering CDMR should be better informed about the potential health implications for their children, highlighting the need for improved obstetric care.
Background: Cesarean delivery may reduce placental-fetal transfusion and thus increase the risk of early childhood anemia compared with vaginal delivery, but this notion has not been carefully studied in longitudinal cohorts.
Objective: The aim was to assess the association of cesarean delivery with anemia in infants and children in 2 longitudinal Chinese birth cohorts from different socioeconomic settings.
Design: Cohort 1 was recruited from 5 counties in northeastern China and cohort 2 from 21 counties or cities in southeastern China.
[Establishment and evaluation of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for measuring human IgM autoantibody to folate receptor].
Zhongguo Yi Xue Ke Xue Yuan Xue Bao
August 2014
Objective: To establish the method of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for measuring human IgM autoantibody to folate receptor.
Methods: Folate receptor was extracted and purified from the healthy woman placenta. The protein was coated on 96-well plates with a concentration of 5 ng/Μl.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the effects of terminating pregnancies before 28 weeks gestation on the prevalence of neural tube defects (NTDs).
- During 2004-2010, data from Shanxi province showed a total of 52,366 births and 485 NTD cases, revealing that terminations accounted for a significant percentage of NTDs that would otherwise go uncounted.
- The findings suggest that existing birth defect surveillance systems need to include pregnancies terminated early to more accurately reflect the prevalence of NTDs, especially anencephaly.
Cesarean delivery on maternal request and childhood intelligence: a cohort study.
Chin Med J (Engl)
December 2011
Article Synopsis
- Cesarean section births have increased significantly in China, particularly due to maternal requests, raising concerns about its effects on children's intelligence.
- In a study assessing IQ among 4144 preschool children, cesarean delivery on maternal request showed a slight initial increase in IQ scores compared to spontaneous vaginal delivery, but the advantage diminished after adjusting for maternal factors.
- Ultimately, the adjusted differences in IQ were small, and assisted vaginal delivery had no significant impact on IQ scores compared to spontaneous delivery.
Objective: In recent years, the incidence of allergic diseases in China is increasing. With serious influence on the patients' quality of life and even life-threatening, now allergic diseases have become an important public health problem in our country. This survey aimed to obtain a general epidemic outline of children's major allergic diseases, i.

- Maternal intake of pickled vegetables is linked to a higher risk of neural tube defects (NTDs) in offspring, according to a study in Shanxi Province, China.
- The study included 519 cases of NTDs and 694 healthy controls, examining dietary habits shortly after delivery and using statistical models to assess risk factors.
- Results showed that more frequent consumption of pickled vegetables significantly increased NTD risk, while higher meat and egg/milk consumption appeared to offer protective effects.
Objective: To analyze the prevalence of asthma and asthma related symptoms among children aged 0-14 years in three Chinese cities and to obtain a crude estimation of the trend of childhood asthma prevalence in China.
Methods: A cross-sectional, population-based survey of prevalence of asthma was conducted in children aged from 0 to 14 years in 3 major cities of China (Beijing, Chongqing, and Guangzhou) with different geographic locations. All the subjects were randomly selected by a multi-stage sampling method.
[Influence of hemoglobin level during early gestation on the development of cognition of pre-school children].
Zhonghua Liu Xing Bing Xue Za Zhi
December 2010
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how maternal hemoglobin levels during early pregnancy impact children's cognitive abilities by age 4-6 years.
- Involving 3,609 children born during a community intervention trial, researchers measured hemoglobin concentrations during the first prenatal visit and assessed IQ using a standardized test when the children were about 68 months old.
- The findings revealed that while children of anemic mothers had slightly higher IQ scores, these differences weren't significant after accounting for factors like the child's gender, mother's IQ, and education level, with children from the highest hemoglobin group showing a greater likelihood of poor verbal and full-scale scores.
Objective: To analyze the influencing factors for stunting and underweight among children aged 3 - 6 years in 15 counties of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces so as to provide reference for enhancing growth level among preschool children.

January 2010
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the link between pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) and the risks of preterm delivery (PD) and low birth weight (LBW) among 131,867 women in Zhejiang, China, from 1995 to 2000.
- Results indicated that women with PIH had higher rates of PD (4.9%) and LBW (3.6%) compared to those without it (3.4% for PD and 1.8% for LBW), with incidence rates increasing with the severity of PIH.
- Additionally, the timing of PIH onset influenced outcomes, showing that early onset led to higher rates of PD (8.4%) and LBW

September 2009
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) and perinatal mortality using data from over 134,000 women in Zhejiang, China, who delivered between 1995-2000.
