Abstract:
Intrauterine cigarette smoke exposure(ICSE)refers to a condition under which pregnant women actively inhale and/or passively inhale cigarettes and smogs mostly consisting of nicotine, tar and carbon monoxide during the first, second and third trimesters of pregnancies.As an adverse environmental factor in early life, ICSE is associated with increased risks of various diseases at childhood and adulthood.ICSE is closely related with children′s cognitive and behavioral developmental disorders.It has been reported that ICSE led to elevated risks of cognitive impairments including disorders in fine motor skills, language and vocabulary, reading comprehension, matrix reasoning, working memory, learning skills, orientation and other capabilities.Additionally, it is associated with increased risks of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and sleep disorder, but the association with autism spectrum disorder is still controversial.The review focuses on the effects of ICSE on cognitive and behavioral development, and summarizes the underlying mechanisms, providing more clinical ideas for etiological studies of cognitive and behavioral developmental disorders in children.
