Anemia of prematurity (AOP) is a multifactorial condition associated with congenital iron deficiency, low erythropoietin levels, a short lifespan of red blood cells, and iatrogenic blood loss. AOP is a common complication in premature infants that can adversely affect growth, development, and long-term neurocognitive outcomes. To standardize the diagnosis and treatment of AOP, the Neonatal Clinical Practice Guidelines Expert Committee and the Neonatal Evidence-Based Medicine Group of the Commission of Neonatal Medicine of the Cross-Strait Medical and Health Exchange Association, along with the Editorial Office of the , have developed the "Clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of anemia of prematurity (2025)", based on the World Health Organization's handbook for guideline development and the formulation/revision principles of Chinese clinical practice guidelines.

Background: Vascular thymus transplantation has been explored in animal models but remains untested in humans. Current approaches to congenital athymia involve avascular transplantation of allogeneic thymic tissue, which may delay immune recovery. Building on animal studies, we propose revascularization of thymic tissue in a human model.

Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a significant public health concern; however, its association with congenital anomalies (CAs) remains understudied. This study investigated the relationship between CAs and PPD risk and identified persistent patterns of PPD among mothers of infants with and without CAs.
Methods: We analysed data from 86,464 mother-child pairs in the Japan Environment and Children's Study.
