Summary: This study, based on 2453 mother-child pairs, found associations between specific antibiotic exposure during pregnancy and an increased risk of current asthma and eczema in children at 4 years old. Gender did not affect these associations. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore potential mechanisms.

Summary: A study found that women exposed to low-dose antibiotics have a higher risk of infertility, while the use of certain antibiotics can reduce the risk of infertility. These results suggest that the effects of antibiotics on female fertility vary based on the active ingredient and usage.

Summary: Emerging studies have found a link between environmental contaminants and decreased handgrip strength, but no research has investigated the relationship between exposure to environmental antibiotics and grip strength. This study examined the relationship between urinary antibiotic burden and grip strength among elderly individuals in China. The results showed that antibiotics were mainly associated with low grip strength and that there were gender and age disparities in this association.

Summary: The aim of this study is to evaluate changes in the placental transcriptome associated with prenatal exposure to organophosphate (OP) pesticides. The study found significant negative associations between DEP metabolite and two specific placental gene modules in early and late pregnancy, suggesting that prenatal OP exposure may disrupt placental gene networks in a time-dependent manner.

Summary: The abuse of antibiotics in animal husbandry and the subsequent passive exposure to residual antibiotics through food consumption has resulted in significant public health concerns. This study aimed to investigate the potential adverse effects of prenatal antibiotics exposure on fetal growth and development. The findings suggest that prenatal exposure to certain antibiotics may negatively impact fetal growth indicators.

Summary: There is growing evidence that environmental pollutants can induce epigenetic modifications altering miRNA expression and leading to pathological conditions in animals. This study found associations between serum concentrations of various inorganic and organic pollutants and the expression of miRNAs in pregnant women. These findings provide innovative early-warning approaches to human health risk assessment.

Summary: This study investigated the exposure levels and sources of neonicotinoids (NEO) in young Japanese children, finding that food intake had a significant impact on exposure levels, while the use of mosquito coils and insect repellents was associated with increased urinary NEO levels. Mothers who were concerned about their child's nutritional balance were able to reduce the risk of exposure to NEOs.

Summary: This study found that high-frequency consumption of takeaways may lead to human exposure to antibiotics, exacerbating oxidative stress trends. Over 90% of the urine samples from 297 young people contained at least one antibiotic, with high exposure levels more likely in individuals with a larger body mass index. The concentrations of six antibiotics were significantly different among people with different overall weekly eating frequencies, usually showing an upward trend. Clarithromycin, ciprofloxacin, and oxytetracycline were the main contributors to the estimated daily intakes of antibiotics. Additionally, there was a significant positive correlation between DNA oxidative damage and exposure to four categories of antibiotics.

Summary: Limited evidence suggests that IPV against HIV-positive pregnant women leads to maternal depression during pregnancy and possible non-adherence to HIV prophylaxis in infants. Therefore, interventions to prevent and control IPV should be developed for HIV-positive pregnant women.

Summary: This study examined the related risk factors for lymph node metastasis (LNM) of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) based on gender. It was found that in female patients, the independent factors for LNM were larger tumor diameter, bilaterality, and extrathyroid extension, while in male patients, LNM was only associated with tumor diameter.

Summary: This study found that prenatal exposure to organophosphate esters (OPEs) such as tributyl phosphate (TBP) and tri-m-cresyl phosphate (TMCP) was associated with adverse effects on fetal growth, particularly in the second and third trimesters. Male fetuses were more sensitive to the exposure to these OPEs.

Summary: This study examined the association between maternal affective and stress-related factors during pregnancy and allergies in children aged 0-2 years. The results showed that high maternal stress in both early and late pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of infant eczema at 2 months. Moreover, high maternal stress in late pregnancy was also associated with food allergy at 6 months, rhinitis at 2 years of age, and persistent allergy.

Summary: This prospective cohort study found that maternal prenatal depressive symptoms and abnormal pre-pregnancy BMI have interactive effects on offspring emotional and behavioral problems (EPBs). Both maternal depressive symptoms and prenatal sub-threshold depressive symptoms were associated with higher internalizing and externalizing problems in children. Maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain modified the association between prenatal depressive symptoms and child externalizing or total difficulties problems.

Summary: This study assessed the lateralization of cerebral blood flow in the auditory cortex of patients with idiopathic tinnitus and healthy controls using 3D pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling. The results showed a significant asymmetry in cerebral blood flow between the left and right hemispheres of the auditory cortex in both tinnitus patients and healthy controls. Tinnitus patients exhibited higher cerebral blood flow in the bilateral primary auditory cortex compared to healthy controls, and the severity of tinnitus was positively correlated with cerebral blood flow in the left primary auditory cortex.

Summary: This study examined the effects of mixed exposure to phthalates and UV filters on pubertal development in school-age children. The results showed that higher levels of phthalate metabolites and UV filters were associated with delayed pubertal development in boys but with earlier puberty in girls. The study also found that the joint exposure of phthalates and UV filters had a larger effect size on pubertal development compared to single chemicals.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between blood pressure measurements and cerebral blood flow (CBF) and brain structure in the general population. The results showed that elevated diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was associated with lower CBF and reduced brain tissue volume, while higher systolic blood pressure (SBP) and DBP were associated with increased white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume. Mediation analysis indicated that decreased brain volume did not mediate the associations between blood pressure and lower CBF.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the potential correlation between a mother's gestational weight gain rate and trimester-specific weight gain rate with the physical development status of the child within 24 months of age. The findings revealed positive associations between weight gain rates and various anthropometric outcomes of the children. Specifically, weight gain rates during the first two trimesters had a significant impact on the children's body mass index, weight, and length. Notably, these associations were more pronounced in male children and pre-pregnancy normal-weight women.
