The prevalence of allergic diseases has increased over the past few decades. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common allergic disease, for which there is currently no known cure. Administration of probiotics in early life may be an effective method to prevent AD, but very little is known about its long-time preventive effect. In this research, a meta-analysis has been conducted to evaluate the long-term effect of early-life supplementation with probiotics on preventing AD. Meta-analysis was performed by the Review Manager version 5.2 software. Risk ratio and 95% confidence intervals were calculated by a fixed effect model. Six trials and a total of 1955 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The combined risk ratio of the meta-analysis comparing probiotics with placebo for investigating the long-term preventive effect of AD was 0.86 (95% CI 0.77-0.96), which demonstrates that probiotics is likely to produce long-term prevention of AD.

Childhood obesity poses a significant public health challenge, yet the molecular intricacies underlying its pathobiology remain elusive. Leveraging extensive multi-omics profiling (methylome, miRNome, transcriptome, proteins and metabolites) and a rich phenotypic characterization across two parts of Europe within the population-based Human Early Life Exposome project, we unravel the molecular landscape of childhood obesity and associated metabolic dysfunction. Our integrative analysis uncovers three clusters of children defined by specific multi-omics profiles, one of which characterized not only by higher adiposity but also by a high degree of metabolic complications.

To investigate the relationship between blood pressure trajectories and blood pressure variability with the risk of target organ damage in Chinese population from childhood to middle age. This study is a population-based, long-term follow-up cohort study. Participants who had their blood pressure measured at least 5 times in the Hanzhong Adolescent hypertension cohort from 1987 to 2023 were included in this study.

The root of asthma can be linked to early life, with prenatal environments influencing risk. We investigate the effects of maternal asthma on the offspring's lungs during fetal and adult life. Adult offspring of asthmatic mothers show an increase in lung group 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2) number and function with allergen-induced lung inflammation.

It is currently estimated that every 15 minutes an infant is born with opioid use disorder and undergoes intense early life trauma due to opioid withdrawal. Clinical research on the long-term consequences of gestational opioid exposure reports increased rates of social, conduct, and emotional disorders in these children. Here, we investigate the impact of perinatal opioid exposure (POE) on behaviors associated with anhedonia and stress in male and female Sprague Dawley rats.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how childhood trauma affects brain connectivity in patients experiencing their first episode of psychosis compared to healthy controls.
- Higher scores of sexual abuse and emotional neglect from childhood trauma were linked to increased functional connectivity between specific brain regions (like the amygdala and prefrontal cortex) in these patients.
- The findings suggest that different types of childhood trauma have distinct long-term effects on brain function, highlighting the complex relationship between trauma and psychosis.
