Background: The current knowledge about potential risk factors for atopic dermatitis (AD) is primarily based on the structure and function of the stratum corneum, which is characterized by osmotic defects and abnormal antibacterial function. There are no studies on the difference between facial lipids in infants with AD and healthy infants.
Aims: We sought to explore significantly different lipid markers for infants with AD presenting with lesions and healthy infants aged 0-2 years to guide treatment strategies.
Methods: Twenty-eight patient infants with AD and 32 healthy infants were recruited. Each infant received its surface skin lipids (SSL) on the right cheek. The components of skin lipids were measured by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupoletime-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) to explore significantly different lipid markers by analyzing the detection results using orthogonal partial least squares analysis(OPLS-DA).
Results: There were clear distinctions in the components of SSL between the two groups. Twenty-nine significantly different lipid markers (P ≤ .05) were found.
Conclusion: This study confirmed that there were significant differences in the components of the SSL between AD infants with lesions and healthy infants, but also found lipid types, lipid contents, and lipid structures as AD-related risks.

Introduction: Chemokines and their receptors are essential for leukocyte migration to several tissues, including human milk. Here, we evaluated the homing of T and B lymphocyte subsets to breast milk in response to ongoing respiratory infections in the nursing infant.
Methods: Blood and mature milk were collected from healthy mothers of nurslings with respiratory infections (Group I) and from healthy mothers of healthy nurslings (Group C).

Background & Objective: The specific influence of the pre-pregnancy body mass index (PPBMI) on women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is unclear. Our objective was to investigate how PPBMI categories affect pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in women with GDM.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from patients attending the Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital (Fuzhou, China) from 2021 to 2023.

The attachment relationship constitutes the first emotionally significant affective bond, usually between the infant and the mother, serving as a model for subsequent relationships. It is considered a vital component of social and emotional development in the early years and an important early indicator of infant mental health. In twins, the attachment process may exhibit unique characteristics, influenced by the dual parenting dynamic and the individual needs of each baby.
