Objective: A gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS) method for the determination of 16 European priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(16 EUPAHs) in infant formula milk powder was established, and the characterization and investigation of 16 EUPAHs in 70 milk formula powders were carried out in 2020.

Methods: After hydrolysis, extraction, saponification and solid phase extraction, infant formula milk powder was detected by GC-MS using DB-EUPAH capillary column(20 m×0.18 mm, 0.14 μm)and quantified by internal standard method.

Results: The average recoveries ranged from 67.8% to 116.2% and the relative standard deviations ranged from 2.0% to 15.1%(n=6). The limits of quantification and detection of the method were 0.5 and 0.2 μg/kg, respectively. The content of 16 EUPAHs was <0.2-0.48 μg/kg, including PAH4 content in the range of <0.2-0.91 μg/kg, the characterization and investigation of infant formula powder in 16 EUPAHs mainly chrysene, cyclopenta[c, d]pyrene, benz[a]anthracene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[g, h, i]perylene.

Conclusion: The method is simple, accurate and suitable for the determination of 16 EUPAHs in infant formula milk powder. The result showed that the content of 16 EUPAHs in commercially available infant formula milk powder in Hangzhou was low and all of them met the limit requirement of European Union.

Background: The postpartum period is a vital time for women, infants, spouses, parents, caregivers and families. Considering the importance of postpartum care and the necessity of using comprehensive and up-to-date clinical guidelines in Iran, this study was designed to implement a indigenized clinical guideline in Iran on maternal outcomes, including maternal functioning, postpartum depression and postpartum specific anxiety (primary outcomes) as well as infant care, maternal health problems, experiencing violence, feeding method and contraception use (secondary outcomes).

Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted with 272 postpartum women in Taleghani and Alzahra hospitals in Tabriz in 2023.

Objective: Breastfeeding is associated with improved health outcomes in infancy and throughout adulthood as breast milk encompasses diverse immune-active factors that affect the ontogeny of the immune system in breastfed (BF) infants. Nevertheless, the impact of infant feeding on the immune system is poorly understood, and a comprehensive understanding of immune system development in human infants is lacking. In this observational study, we addressed the effects of different infant feeding approaches on cell populations and parameters in the peripheral blood of infants to gain insight into the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system.

Background: Breast milk is a natural treasure for infants, and its microbiota contains a rich array of bacterial species. When breastfeeding is not possible, infant formula with probiotics can be used as a sole source or as a breast milk supplement. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the growth outcomes and tolerance of infants consuming an infant formula containing Bifidobacterium animalis ssp.

The inclusion of artificial food additives such as vanillin in infant formula should be strictly monitored to mitigate potential negative impacts on the dietary habits and health of infants. This raises a necessity of an accurate inspection and prompt feedback of vanillin in infant foods. In this study, colorimetric and fluorescent dual-mode assays based on CuNS/FeO@MIPs were established to detect vanillin selectively and sensitively.
