To investigate the impact of COVID-19 infection on maternal and neonatal outcomes and immunity in pregnant women in China. 283 pregnant women with COVID-19 were included in the prospective observational cohort study and divided into five groups based on infection stage. Antibody levels were measured in plasma, umbilical cord blood, and breast milk, and combined with clinical data and 6-month follow-up results. We measured SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels using a chemiluminescence immunoassay and analyzed the data with the Kruskal-Wallis test, χ2 test, or Fisher’s exact test. No significant differences were found in age, BMI, weight change during pregnancy, or the incidence of gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, gestational hypothyroidism, intrahepatic cholestasis, transaminitis, preterm birth, small for gestational age, neonatal NICU transfers, developmental delays, and hearing damage among the five groups. The incidence of COVID-19 in infants from mothers infected at different stages of pregnancy was significantly lower than in the uninfected group (P < 0.05). Maternal and umbilical cord blood showed significantly higher IgG levels in the infected group compared to the uninfected group at different stages of pregnancy (P < 0.05). The median transplacental antibody transfer ratio across all infection groups was 1.15 (0.98–1.30), with no significant differences between them. The reinfection group had significantly higher IgA levels during pregnancy compared to other groups (P < 0.05). No adverse outcomes were observed in mothers or infants at any stage of maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection. Antibodies in umbilical cord blood and breast milk may offer passive immunity to newborns for 1–3 months. Reinfection during pregnancy may extend this immunity without raising the risk of adverse outcomes.
BACKGROUND:Prenatal mental health is an increasing public concern. At present, it has been shown that increasing physical activity (PA) is effective in promoting mental health of pregnant women. However, mental health may depend not only on the amount of time spent on a specific activity, but also on the intensity and type of the activity that it replaces. This study is aimed to explore the impact of replacing 60 min of one health behavior with another on the mental health of pregnant women. METHODS:The cross-sectional study recruited 983 pregnant women from Chongqing, China between June and December 2021. The pregnant women self-reported their movement behaviors using the Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire-Chinese version (PPAQ-C). Participants also completed three measures of mental health: Childbirth Attitudes Questionnaire (CAQ), 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and the Positive affect sub-scale. An Isotemporal Substitution Model was used to evaluate mental health after replacing one movement behavior. RESULTS:The analysis showed that replacing 60 min of sedentary behavior (SB) with moderate-to-vigorous intensity PA (MVPA) promoted positive emotions, and replacing SB with light intensity PA (LPA) reduced childbirth fear. Regarding PA types, replacing inactivity with household, occupational, or transport PA could reduce fear, and replacing inactivity, occupational, household or transport PA with sport PA could improve positive emotions and alleviate depression. CONCLUSION:An active pregnancy lifestyle with higher levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and light physical activity and less sedentary behavior time and other inactive states may improve mental health. Future health promotion for pregnant women should consider the flexibility of physical activity types and intensities.
Background As the world's population ages, bone health has become a major public problem. The incidence of osteoporosis in women will further increase due to the decline of oestrogen after menopause. In this study, we used a health ecology model to explore the factors affecting abnormal bone mass in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women at different levels, and to provide a basis for the management and prevention of abnormal bone mass in women at this stage of life in China. Methods From October 2022 to September 2023, perimenopausal and postmenopausal women aged ≥ 40 years admitted to five recruited hospitals in China were recruited by purposive sampling method.Information on five levels of the health ecology model, including personal traits, behavioral characteristics, interpersonal network, working and living conditions, and policy environment was collected through structured questionnaires, and the data were analyzed using a structural equation model. Results Among 531 participants, 248 subjects had normal bone mass, 230 had osteopenia and 53 had osteoporosis. The results of the structural equation model showed that personal traits had the strongest direct positive effect on bone mass abnormality (β = 0.417, P < 0.05); behavioural characteristics had a direct positive effect on bone mass abnormality (β = 0.253, P < 0.05); interpersonal network had a direct negative effect on bone mass abnormality (β=-0.268, P < 0.05) and an indirect effect through personal traits; living conditions have a direct negative effect on bone mass abnormalities (β=-0.248,P < 0.05), and indirect effect through behavioural traits and interpersonal network; medical insurance can have an indirect effect on bone mass abnormalities through living conditions and interpersonal network. Conclusion Currently, the prevalence of abnormal bone mass in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women is high in China. Combined with the health ecology model, we found that personal characteristics and unhealthy behavior characteristics are risk factors for abnormal bone mass, higher social support and living conditions are protective factors for abnormal bone mass, which could indirectly affect abnormal bone mass, and medical insurance can indirectly affect abnormal bone mass. Future policy recommendations for the prevention of abnormal bone mass can be based on the factors and pathways that affect abnormal bone mass in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women identified in this study, in order to reduce the incidence of abnormal bone mass and improve the quality of life of perimenopausal and postmenopausal women.
BackgroundMenopausal women may experience menopausal syndrome and long-term effects caused by low estrogen levels, such as senile dementia and osteoporosis in the elderly. Most menopausal women may have misconceptions about menopause and low use of pharmacological interventions. These misconceptions may damage the quality of life and miss the critical period for preventing senile diseases. Thus, enhancing the awareness of menopausal women regarding psychosocial and physical changes through health education programs was a way to improve positive attitudes toward menopause and make further treatment options.ObjectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of multidisciplinary health education based on lifestyle medicine on menopausal syndrome and lifestyle behaviors of menopausal women.MethodsThe study was conducted in several hospitals in Chongqing, China. The two groups were from different hospitals with similar medical levels in order to reduce information contamination. It was designed as a clinical controlled trial in which the intervention group (n = 100) and control group (n = 87) were matched for age, age at menarche, menopausal symptoms and drug use status at enrollment. Women in the intervention group received multidisciplinary health education based on lifestyle medicine for 2 months while those in the control group received routine outpatient health guidance. Menopausal syndrome, physical activity and dietary status of participants were assessed before and after the intervention. Paired t-tests and Independent-sample t-tests were adopted for comparison within and between groups, respectively, in the normal variables. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests and Mann-Whitney U tests were adopted for comparison within and between group, respectively, in the abnormal variables. Categorical variables were tested using Pearson's χ2. P-value < 0.05 was statistically significant in statistical tests.ResultsPost intervention testing indicated that menopausal syndrome of participants was significantly improved in the intervention group compared to the control group (P < 0.001). Between-group comparison showed a significant improvement of weekly energy expenditure of total physical activity (P = 0.001) and participation in exercise (P < 0.001) in the intervention group compared to the control group after the intervention. The dietary status of participants was significantly improved in the intervention group compared to the control group (P < 0.001). In the intervention group, the menopausal syndrome of participants improved more in the hormone drug group than in the non-hormone group (P = 0.007), as did the control group (P = 0.02). In the hormone drug group, the physical activity (P = 0.003) and dietary status (P = 0.001) mproved more in the intervention group than in the control group.ConclusionsThe multidisciplinary health education based on lifestyle medicine was effective in improving the menopausal syndrome and healthy lifestyle behaviors of menopausal women. Studies with extended observation period and larger sample size are in need to evaluate the long-term scale-up effects of the multidisciplinary health education.
Objective To investigate the effect of music intervention combined with health education on the mode of delivery and childbirth experience. Methods 98 primiparas in the late-pregnancy who underwent regular obstetric checkups and delivered in the hospital from December 2020 to January 2022 were included for the study, and primiparas who voluntarily participated in the music intervention combined with health education served as the trial group(n=49), while primiparas who did not participate in the music intervention combined with health education during the same period of gestation(within 2weeks difference in gestational weeks) served as the control group(n=49). The mode of delivery and delivery experience scores were compared between the two groups. Results The rate of spontaneous delivery was significantly higher in the trial group(79.6%) than in the control group(57.1%)(P<0.05). The total childbirth experience score and the scores of each dimension were significantly higher in the trial group than in the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion The application of music intervention combined with health education can increase the rate of spontaneous birth and improve the childbirth experience,which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Milk lipid secretion is a critical process for the delivery of nutrition and energy from parent to offspring. However, the underlying molecular mechanism is less clear. Here we report that TDP-43, a RNA-binding protein, underwent positive selection in the mammalian lineage. Furthermore, TDP-43 gene ( Tardbp ) loss induces accumulation of large lipid droplets and severe lipid secretion deficiency in mammary epithelial cells to outside alveolar lumens, eventually resulting in lactation failure and pup starvation within three weeks postpartum. In human milk samples from lactating women, the expression levels of TDP-43 is positively correlated with higher milk output. Mechanistically, TDP-43 exerts post-transcriptional regulation of Btn1a1 and Xdh mRNA stability, which are required for the secretion of lipid droplets from epithelial cells to the lumen. Taken together, our results highlights the critical role of TDP-43 in milk lipid secretion, providing a potential strategy for the screening and intervention of clinical lactation insufficiency.
