Objective To explore medical equipment allocation with considerations on randomly distributed and dynamic injury conditions by analyzing injury conditions transition and medical equipment stochastic service process.Methods A casualty array change model was established by injury conditions evolution analysis,Poisson process and Markov chain.Medical equipment stochastic service processes in medical facilities were probed,and the service rules were constructed.Expert investigation was carried out to acquire conditions transition indexes and to determine the vectors for conditions transition without manual intervention and their changes after treatment,then simulation tools were used to optimize medical equipment allocation.Results The emergency treatment table in some field medical station was considered as the subject,and the optimum allocation was proposed for emergency treatment table with practical data and simulation calculation.Conclusion The emergency treatment table allocation proposed was similar to the actual one in the medical station.Markov-process-based medical equipment allocation responses injury conditions changes and the fluctuation of treatment sequence,which has the result reliable and the method versatile and practical,and lays a foundation for medical equipment allocation and optimization.

Objective To analyze the correlation between elective cesarean delivery and duration of breastfeeding in Ma'anshan city from 2013 to 2014. Methods From May 2013 to September 2014, a total of 3 474 pregnant women with the first prenatal checkup were recruited from Ma'anshan maternal and child health care hospital. Finally, 3 109 pregnant women were included after exclusion of those with terminated pregnancies, adverse birth outcomes, twin or multiple pregnancies, breech traction, breech midwifery and loss of delivery information. Demographic data of pregnant women, mode of delivery and breast feeding of children were collected through questionnaires and hospital records. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between elective cesarean delivery and duration of breastfeeding in children, with the mode of delivery as independent variable and the duration of breastfeeding as dependent variable. Results The age of 3 109 subjects was (26.6±3.6) years old, the rate of vaginal delivery was 51.1% (1 589), and the rate of elective cesarean delivery was 46.4% (1 443), among which the rate of non?indicative elective cesarean delivery was 26.4% (820), the rate of indicative elective cesarean delivery was 20.0% (623), and the rate of emergency cesarean delivery was 2.5% (77). The proportion of breastfeeding lasting until 4, 12 and 18 months was 45.0% (1 348/2 998), 23.7% (702/2 962) and 5.2% (154/2 944), respectively. After adjusting the confounding factors, compared with vaginal delivery, the OR (95%CI ) values of breastfeeding for 4 months in indicative elective cesarean delivery and non?indicative elective cesarean delivery women were 0.870(0.714-1.059), 0.795(0.665-0.949), and the OR (95%CI) values of breastfeeding for 12 months were 0.772(0.611-0.975), 0.755(0.610-0.934), respectively. Conclusion Elective cesarean delivery may result in shorter duration of breastfeeding in children.

Objective:
To discuss the relationship between breastfeeding and the behavioral development of infants and children.
Methods:
Based on the Ma'anshan Birth Cohort Study, there were 3 474 pregnant women recruited from Ma'anshan Maternal and Child Care Center between May 2013 and September 2014, including 3 273 singleton live births. Follow up the infants to the age of 18 months old. Excluded the infants with incomplete information of breastfeeding and who did not finish the ASQ-3 evaluation in 6 months old and 18 months old, 2 404 valid subjects were included in the study. The information of demographic characteristics, deliver, infants and breastfeeding was collected. The behavioral development were evaluated by the third edition of Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3) at 6 months old and 18 months old, and the effect of breastfeeding on behavioral development among infants and children were analyzed by multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
The intensity of breastfeeding of infants within 6 months old was (26.56±10.56). The rate of breastfeeding as pure or major intake for infants between 0-5 months old were separately 54.2% (1 303), 54.0% (1 298). 54.0% (1 297), 50.5% (1 213), 34.4% (827) and 9.9% (237). After age, pre-pregnant BMI, intelligence, delivery mode, gender, gestational age, birth weight and family economic status adjusted, compared to never-breastfeeding, continuous breastfeeding for 1-3 months could protect children from severe developmental delay in fine motor domain aged 6 months old (
6.Research progress on environmental heavy metal exposure during pregnancy and children's physical development level and growth trajectory
Journal of Environmental and Occupational Medicine 2024;41(5):586-591
Low-level exposure to environmental heavy metals during pregnancy is common, and the effects of such exposure on the growth and development of the fetus may continue after birth. In this paper, we reviewed the epidemiological studies on heavy metal exposure during pregnancy and children's physical development at home and abroad in recent years, focusing on the associations between four common heavy metals, namely, cadmium, mercury, lead, and arsenic, and children's physical development levels and growth trajectories. The results of existing studies showed that cadmium and mercury exposure during pregnancy was associated with early childhood obesity, lead exposure during pregnancy may lead to dual effects of childhood obesity and growth retardation, and arsenic exposure during pregnancy was associated with childhood growth retardation. At the same time, cadmium and lead exposure during pregnancy had a more significant effect on boys, and there was a sex effect. Most studies of children's growth trajectory showed that exposure to cadmium, arsenic, and lead during pregnancy was often associated with lower childhood body mass index (BMI)/weight-for-age Z-score (WAZ) and height-for-age Z-score (HAZ) growth trajectories, even into adolescence, where the first trimester and the third trimester may be critical windows for cadmium and lead exposure, respectively. The results of mercury exposure during pregnancy associated with children's growth trajectories were controversial due to differences in methods for evaluating mercury exposure. In addition, there may be certain combined effects of mixed exposure to heavy metals during pregnancy on the physical growth and development of children. There is still a need to further elucidate the effects of single metal and multiple heavy metal interactions on children's physical development by combining population-based epidemiological studies with multiple sample sources and time points, and to strengthen basic research to broaden the new understanding of involved mechanisms.
