Abstract
OBJECTIVE In 2017, our Level IV NICU switched from providing bovine-derived (BOV-fort) to human milk-derived fortifiers (HM-fort) and donor human milk (DHM) to premature infants born ≤ 30 weeks or ≤1250 g. Following this change, providers anecdotally observed increased hypoglycemia, hypercalcemia, and hyperphosphatemia. This study investigated potential laboratory differences between infants fed Bovine vs. Human milk derived fortifier. METHODS Lab measurements from 402 infants (232 BOV-fort, 170 HM-fort) born between 2015 and 2019 were compared between groups. RESULTS The proportion of infants ever having a blood glucose ≤ 45 mg/dL (p < 0.0001) was higher in the HM-fort group. The proportion of infants ever experiencing a phosphorus > 8.0 mg/dL were higher in the HM-fort group (p < 0.0001). The proportion of infants ever experiencing calcium > 11.4 mg/dL was higher in the HM-Fort group (p = 0.019). CONCLUSIONS Provision of HM-Fort and DHM to extremely premature infants is associated with metabolic derangements.

Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e35136. [PMID: 38363922 PMCID: PMC10869039 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000035136] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2024] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to identify the current awareness about cervical cancer prevention among rural women in Luohe City as well as its potential influencing factors. Meanwhile, these data were expected to provide a theoretical basis for Luohe future cervical cancer prevention and therapy. Based on geographical distribution, 40 villages in Luohe City were randomly selected, and questionnaires were given to women in each village. In this study, a total of 4665 questionnaires were distributed, and 4561 valid questionnaires were returned, with a recovery rate of 97.98%. The average score was 4.06 ± 2.46 out of 10. It was found that women had a high awareness rate of cervical cancer screening (55.25%) but a low awareness rate of human papillomavirus (HPV) and HPV vaccine (10.17%). Moreover, univariate and multivariable analyses showed that age > 45 years, low household income, low education level, being a farmer, spouse unemployment, no pregnancy or birth delivery history, no family or personal history of cervical disease, and no previous complimentary 2-cancer screening (i.e., breast cancer and cervical cancer) were all factors influencing the cognitive level of rural women in Luohe City (P < .05). However, ethnicity, marital status, and spouse education level were not correlated with cognitive level (P > .05). In conclusion, low awareness of cervical cancer prevention among rural women in Luohe was correlated with individual, family, and social factors. So it was recommended to cultivate the rural population knowledge, optimize screening strategies, and conduct targeted cervical cancer prevention and treatment in rural regions.

Abstract
Multiple millennia of human evolution have shaped the chemical composition of breast milk toward an optimal human body fluid for nutrition and protection and for shaping the early gut microbiota of newborns. This biological fluid is composed of water, lipids, simple and complex carbohydrates, proteins, immunoglobulins, and hormones. Potential interactions between hormones present in mother's milk and the microbial community of the newborn are a very fascinating yet unexplored topic. In this context, insulin, in addition to being one of the most prevalent hormones in breast milk, is also involved in a metabolic disease that affects many pregnant women, i.e., gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Analysis of 3,620 publicly available metagenomic data sets revealed that the bifidobacterial community varies in relation to the different concentrations of this hormone in breast milk of healthy and diabetic mothers. Starting from this assumption, in this study, we explored possible molecular interactions between this hormone and bifidobacterial strains that represent bifidobacterial species commonly occurring in the infant gut using 'omics' approaches. Our findings revealed that insulin modulates the bifidobacterial community by apparently improving the persistence of the Bifidobacterium bifidum taxon in the infant gut environment compared to other typical infant-associated bifidobacterial species. IMPORTANCE Breast milk is a key factor in modulating the infant's intestinal microbiota composition. Even though the interaction between human milk sugars and bifidobacteria has been extensively studied, there are other bioactive compounds in human milk that may influence the gut microbiota, such as hormones. In this article, the molecular interaction of the human milk hormone insulin and the bifidobacterial communities colonizing the human gut in the early stages of life has been explored. This molecular cross talk was assessed using an in vitro gut microbiota model and then analyzed by various omics approaches, allowing the identification of genes associated with bacterial cell adaptation/colonization in the human intestine. Our findings provide insights into the manner by which assembly of the early gut microbiota may be regulated by host factors such as hormones carried by human milk.

Abstract
Recombinant human insulin plays an important role in the gut maturation of preterm infants. This meta-analysis was carried out to assess the efficacy and safety of enteral recombinant human insulin in decreasing the time to full enteral feeding in preterm infants. The pooling of data from four clinical trials yielded a significant decrease in the time to full enteral feeding in preterm infants under both low (Mean difference [MD] -3.43 days; 95% CI: -6.18 to -0.69 days; I2 = 48%) and high doses of insulin (MD -7.10 days; 95% CI: -10.02 to -4.18 days; I2 = 0%). These findings require confirmation by further large trials that evaluate the efficacy and safety of enteral insulin, especially at supraphysiological doses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate differences in hypoglycemia and extended feed prescriptions among premature infants provided bovine-derived human milk fortifiers (Bov-fort) with mother's milk or formula vs human milk-derived human milk fortifiers (HM-fort) with mother's milk or donor human milk. STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective chart review (n = 98). Infants receiving HM-fort were matched with infants receiving Bov-fort. Blood glucose values and feed orders were retrieved from the electronic medical record. RESULTS Prevalence of ever having blood glucose <60 mg/dL was 39.1% in the HM-fort group vs. 23.9% in the Bov-fort group (p = 0.09). Blood glucose ≤45 mg/dL occurred in 17.4% of HM-fort vs 4.3% in Bov-fort (p = 0.07). Feeds were extended for any reason in 55% of HM-fort vs. 20% of Bov-fort (p < 0.01). Feed extension due to hypoglycemia occurred in 24% of HM-fort vs. 0% of Bov-fort (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Predominately HM-based feeds are associated with feed extension due to hypoglycemia. Prospective research is warranted to elucidate underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
To study (16S rRNA-sequencing) the impact of gestational and corrected ages on the microbiota profile of human milk (HM) of mothers that delivered full-term and pre-term children, HM samples were obtained and classified according to the gestational age as group T (full-term births ≥37 weeks), and group P (pre-term births <37 weeks). Group P was longitudinally followed, and the samples were collected at the full-term corrected gestational age: when the chronological age plus the gestational age were ≥37 weeks (PT group). The HM microbiota composition differed depending on the gestational age (T vs. P). Group T had lower levels of Staphylococcus and higher levels of Rothia and Streptococcus, as compared to group P. The alpha Simpson diversity value was higher in group T than in P, whereas no differences were found between groups T and PT, suggesting a microbial evolution of the composition of group P towards group T over chronological age. Full-term delivery was associated with a greater diversity of microbes in HM. The microbial composition of pre-term HM, at the corrected age, did not show significant differences, as compared to the samples obtained from the full-term group, suggesting that it would be appropriate to consider the corrected age in terms of the composition and the diversity of the milk in future studies.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Feeding intolerance is a common condition among preterm infants owing to immaturity of the gastrointestinal tract. Enteral insulin appears to promote intestinal maturation. The insulin concentration in human milk declines rapidly post partum and insulin is absent in formula; therefore, recombinant human (rh) insulin for enteral administration as a supplement to human milk and formula may reduce feeding intolerance in preterm infants. OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and safety of 2 different dosages of rh insulin as a supplement to both human milk and preterm formula. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS The FIT-04 multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial was conducted at 46 neonatal intensive care units throughout Europe, Israel, and the US. Preterm infants with a gestational age (GA) of 26 to 32 weeks and a birth weight of 500 g or more were enrolled between October 9, 2016, and April 25, 2018. Data were analyzed in January 2020. INTERVENTIONS Preterm infants were randomly assigned to receive low-dose rh insulin (400-μIU/mL milk), high-dose rh insulin (2000-μIU/mL milk), or placebo for 28 days. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was time to achieve full enteral feeding (FEF) defined as an enteral intake of 150 mL/kg per day or more for 3 consecutive days. RESULTS The final intention-to-treat analysis included 303 preterm infants (low-dose group: median [IQR] GA, 29.1 [28.1-30.4] weeks; 65 boys [59%]; median [IQR] birth weight, 1200 [976-1425] g; high-dose group: median [IQR] GA, 29.0 [27.7-30.5] weeks; 52 boys [55%]; median [IQR] birth weight, 1250 [1020-1445] g; placebo group: median [IQR] GA, 28.8 [27.6-30.4] weeks; 54 boys [55%]; median [IQR] birth weight, 1208 [1021-1430] g). The data safety monitoring board advised to discontinue the study early based on interim futility analysis (including the first 225 randomized infants), as the conditional power did not reach the prespecified threshold of 35% for both rh-insulin dosages. The study continued while the data safety monitoring board analyzed and discussed the data. In the final intention-to-treat analysis, the median (IQR) time to achieve FEF was significantly reduced in 94 infants receiving low-dose rh insulin (10.0 [7.0-21.8] days; P = .03) and in 82 infants receiving high-dose rh insulin (10.0 [6.0-15.0] days; P = .001) compared with 85 infants receiving placebo (14.0 [8.0-28.0] days). Compared with placebo, the difference in median (95% CI) time to FEF was 4.0 (1.0-8.0) days for the low-dose group and 4.0 (1.0-7.0) days for the high-dose group. Weight gain rates did not differ significantly between groups. Necrotizing enterocolitis (Bell stage 2 or 3) occurred in 7 of 108 infants (6%) in the low-dose group, 4 of 88 infants (5%) in the high-dose group, and 10 of 97 infants (10%) in the placebo group. None of the infants developed serum insulin antibodies. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Results of this randomized clinical trial revealed that enteral administration of 2 different rh-insulin dosages was safe and compared with placebo, significantly reduced time to FEF in preterm infants with a GA of 26 to 32 weeks. These findings support the use of rh insulin as a supplement to human milk and preterm formula. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02510560.
