Objective To investigate occupational exposure levels of lead, arsenic and cadmium in the lead smelting plant of Hunan Shui Kou Shan Nonferrous Metals Group Co. Ltd., analyze their effects on health of employees, and compare the applicability of different occupational health risk assessment methods, and to provide a basis for prevention and control of occupational exposure risks in enterprises. Methods According to systematic sampling method, 380 employees with lead, arsenic and cadmium exposure (exposure group) and 100 non-exposure employees (non-exposure group) were selected from 2022 to 2024 for on-site investigation of occupational health [concentration time-weighted average (C_TWA)] and physical examination. The risk was evaluated by qualitative assessment method, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) inhalation risk assessment method, and the Singapore Ministry of Manpower (MOM) semi-quantitative method. The consistency was analyzed by the Kappa test. Results C_TWA values of lead, arsenic, and cadmium in all positions were lower than the occupational exposure limit (OEL). The levels of blood lead, urine arsenic, and urine cadmium, as well as the prevalence of multiple systems in the exposure group were significantly higher than those in the non-exposure group (P<0.05). The proportions of chronic lead, arsenic, and cadmium poisoning were increasing year by year in the exposure group (P<0.05). The qualitative assessment method mainly indicated low and medium risk, while the EPA and MOM methods mainly indicated medium and high risk, with good agreement between the two methods (Kappa=0.676, P<0.05). Conclusion Although the enterprise meets the C_TWA standards, there are still occupational health risks of lead, arsenic, and cadmium. The EPA inhalation risk assessment method is more applicable.

Objective:To determine the gestational weight gain and its risk factors and adverse effects among pregnant women in Beijing.Methods:Between June 2018 and June 2019, all registered infants and their mothers in a child care center of a third-tier-class hospital in Beijing were selected. A self-made questionnaire was used to collect the basic information of the maternal mothers. Chi-square test and analysis of variance were used to describe the basic characteristics of the study subjects and clarify the harmful effect of gestational weight gain for maternal and infant health. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of both insufficient and excessive weight gain during pregnancy.Results:A total of 3732 maternal mothers and their babies were included. The average weight gain of maternal mothers during pregnancy was 13.0 kg. The results of this study showed that the proportion of insufficient weight gain during pregnancy was 31.8% and the proportion of excessive weight gain was 24.1%. It was further found that young age, pre-pregnancy body mass index indicating overweight and obesity, primipara, and low education were independent risk factors for excessive weight gain during pregnancy. The risk of excessive weight gain of pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity was 2.40 times ( OR=2.40, 95% CI=1.91-3.03, P<0.001) and 2.90 times higher, respectively, ( OR=2.90, 95% CI=1.59-5.27, P<0.001) when compared with that of pre-pregnancy normal weight. In addition, our results suggested that excessive weight gain significantly increased the risk of macrosomia for the infant and the risk of cesarean section, gestational hypertension, and postpartum weight retention for maternal mothers. Conclusions:Age, pre-pregnancy BMI, primipara, and education level were the influencing factors for gestational weight gain. Considering the serious harmful effects of both insufficient and excessive weight gain for maternal and infant health, weight management during pregnancy should be strengthened for these high-risk populations in the future.

Objective:To investigate the human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) levels in breast milk of mothers delivering preterm infants and their effects on the early growth and development of infants.Methods:In this prospective cohort study, full-term and preterm newborns whose parents decided to breastfeed were recruited from Peking University Third Hospital between December 1, 2017 and November 30, 2018. The preterm infants were divided based on their gestational ages into extremely preterm (<28 weeks), very preterm (28-31 +6 weeks) and moderate to late preterm (32-36 +6 weeks) groups. Breast milk was collected from mothers at 7, 14, 28 and 120d postpartum. 368 breast milk samples were collected from 125 mothers in this study, including 54 mothers of full-term infants, 23 mothers of moderate to late preterm infants, 39 mothers of very preterm infants, and 9 mothers of extremely preterm infants. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer (UPLC-MS/MS) was used to determine the concentration of 2′-fucosyllactose (2′FL), 3-fucosyllactose (3FL), 3′-sialyllactose (3′SL), A-tetrasaccharide (P1), lacto-N-tetraose (LNT), lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT), lacto-N-fucopentaose Ⅱ (LNFP-Ⅱ) and lacto-N-fucopentaose Ⅴ (LNFP-Ⅴ). Secretor status of mothers was defined as 2′-fucosyllactose (2′FL) concentration in colostrum and transitional milk greater than 200 μg/mL. Weight gain and the occurrence of allergic diseases of infants were collected at 120 d(4 months) postpartum. The chi-square test or the Fisher′s exact test was used for the comparison of categorical data between groups; Kruskal-Wallis test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were used for comparison of continuous data between groups. Nemenyi test was used for multiple comparison. Results:79.2% (99/125) of the mothers were secretor. There were no statistical differences between groups in the secretor status of mothers (χ2=1.31, P>0.05). The total concentration of HMOs peaked at 1-2 weeks postpartum. Compared to the preterm milk, the HMOs from the term milk was trending downwards at an earlier time. In the breast milk of secretor mothers on 28 d, total concentration of HMOs significant differed among the three groups of preterm milk and the term milk, with the median value of 4 587.09,4 615.25,5 277.44,5 476.03 μg/mL, respectively (Kruskal-Wallis χ2=8.1234, P=0.044). When analyzed by the median weight gain of the infants (low vs high weight gain) at 4 months postpartum, 2′FL was significantly lower in the high weight gain group at 7 d (1 818.04 μg/mL vs 2 181.67 μg/mL, W=1 386, P=0.018), while LNT & LNnT were significantly higher (1 182.36 μg/mL vs 1 053.62 μg/mL, W=816, P=0.044). The level of 3FL at 120 d was significantly affected by presence of allergic disease in infants, breast milk from mothers of infants with allergic disease had lower 3FL than those from mothers of infants without allergic disease (256.17 μg/mL vs 286.18 μg/mL, W=564, P=0.026). Conclusions:The overall profiles of HMOs in breast milk of mothers delivering preterm infants was basically the same as that of mothers delivering term infants; individual HMOs play a role in weight gain and the development of allergic diseases in preterm infants, but the mechanism is unclear and needs further study.
