Abstract
Dosing vancomycin for critically ill neonates is challenging owing to substantial alterations in pharmacokinetics (PKs) caused by variability in physiology, disease, and clinical interventions. Therefore, an adequate PK model is needed to characterize these pathophysiological changes. The intent of this study was to develop a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model that reflects vancomycin PK and pathophysiological changes in neonates under intensive care. PK-sim software was used for PBPK modeling. An adult model (model 0) was established and verified using PK profiles from previous studies. A neonatal model (model 1) was then extrapolated from model 0 by scaling age-dependent parameters. Another neonatal model (model 2) was developed based not only on scaled age-dependent parameters but also on quantitative information on pathophysiological changes obtained via a comprehensive literature search. The predictive performances of models 1 and 2 were evaluated using a retrospectively collected dataset from neonates under intensive care (chictr.org.cn, ChiCTR1900027919), comprising 65 neonates and 92 vancomycin serum concentrations. Integrating literature-based parameter changes related to hypoalbuminemia, small-for-gestational-age, and co-medication, model 2 offered more optimized precision than model 1, as shown by a decrease in the overall mean absolute percentage error (50.6% for model 1; 37.8% for model 2). In conclusion, incorporating literature-based pathophysiological changes effectively improved PBPK modeling for critically ill neonates. Furthermore, this model allows for dosing optimization before serum concentration measurements can be obtained in clinical practice.

Different intrauterine environments and children motor development in the first 6 months of life: a prospective longitudinal cohort. Sci Rep 2023; 13:10325. [PMID: 37365232 PMCID: PMC10293270 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-36626-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2022] [Accepted: 06/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023] Open
Abstract
This prospective cohort longitudinal study examines the risk factors associated with different intrauterine environments and the influence of different intrauterine environments on children's motor development at 3- and 6-months of life. Participants were 346 mother/newborn dyads enrolled in the first 24 to 48 h after delivery in public hospitals. Four groups with no concurrent condition composed the sample: mothers with a clinical diagnosis of diabetes, mothers with newborns small for gestational age due to idiopathic intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), mothers who smoked tobacco during gestation, and a control group composed of mothers without clinical condition. Children were assessed at three- and six-months regarding motor development, weight, length, head circumference, and parents completed a socioeconomic questionnaire. The IUGR children had lower supine, sitting, and overall gross motor scores at 6 months than the other children's groups. Anthropometric and sociodemographic characteristics negatively influenced gross motor development. IUGR and anthropometric and sociodemographic characteristics negatively impact motor development. Intrauterine environment impact child neurodevelopment.

J Nutr 2023; 153:958-969. [PMID: 36775243 DOI: 10.1016/j.tjnut.2023.02.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2022] [Revised: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 02/08/2023] [Indexed: 02/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Placental insufficiency negatively impacts fetal growth and body composition (BC), potentially affecting lifelong health. Placental insufficiency, detectable as an abnormal umbilical artery resistance index (UmA-RI) on Doppler ultrasonography, is highly prevalent in otherwise healthy South African pregnant women. Appropriate intervention reduces stillbirth and perinatal death, but research on long-term outcomes of surviving infants is lacking. OBJECTIVES To describe and compare anthropometry and BC during the first 2 y of life in a cohort of term-born infants with normal and abnormal prenatal UmA-RI. METHODS Term-born infants (n = 81; n = 55 normal, n = 26 abnormal UmA-RI on third trimester Doppler screening) were followed up at 8-time points until age 2 y. Anthropometric measurements were taken, and FFM and FM were assessed by deuterium dilution. Age- and sex-specific z-scores were calculated for anthropometric indices, FM, FFM, FM index (FMI), and FFM index (FFMI) using appropriate reference data. Anthropometry and BC of infants with normal and abnormal UmA-RI were compared using an independent t-test or Mann-Whitney test. RESULTS At most ages, group mean z-scores were <0 for length-for-age and FM and >0 for weight-for-length and FFM. Compared with infants with normal UmA-RI, infants with abnormal UmA-RI had significantly lower weight-for-age z-scores at birth (-0.77 ± 0.75 compared with -0.30 ± 1.10, P = 0.026), ages 10 wk to 9 mo (-0.4 ± 0.87 to -0.2 ± 1.12 compared with 0.3 ± 0.85 to 0.6 ± 1.09; P = 0.007-0.017) and 18 mo (-0.6 ± 0.82 compared with 0.1 ± 1.18; P = 0.037); length-for-age z-scores at ages ≤14 wk (-1.3 ± 1.25 to -0.9 ± 0.87 compared with -0.2 ± 1.04 to -0.1 ± 1.00; P = 0.004-0.021); and FFM-for-age z-scores at ages ≤9 mo (-0.1 ± 0.82 to 0.7 ± 0.71 compared with 0.7 ± 1.00 to 1.3 ± 0.85; P = 0.002-0.028). FFMI, percentage FFM, FM, percentage FM, and FMI showed no consistent significant differences. CONCLUSIONS Infants with abnormal UmA-RI had lower weight-for-age and length-for-age z-scores, particularly at younger ages, with proportionally lower FFM but no consistent differences in percentage FFM and FFMI. These findings merit further investigation in larger cohorts. J Nutr 2023;xx:xx-xx.

Abstract
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) may predispose metabolic diseases in later life. Changes in fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) may explain this metabolic risk. This review studied the effect of IUGR on body composition in early infancy. Five databases and included studies from all countries published from 2000 until August 2021 were searched. Participants were IUGR or small-for-gestational age (SGA) infants, and the primary outcomes were FFM and FM. Eighteen studies met the inclusion criteria, of which seven were included in the meta-analysis of primary outcomes. Overall, intrauterine growth-restricted and SGA infants were lighter and shorter than normal intrauterine growth and appropriate-for-gestational age infants, respectively, from birth to the latest follow up. They had lower FFM [mean difference −429.19 (p = 0.02)] and FM [mean difference −282.9 (p < 0.001)]. The issue of whether lower FFM and FM as reasons for future metabolic risk in IUGR infants is intriguing which could be explored in further research with longer follow-up. This review, the first of its kind can be useful for developing nutrition targeted interventions for IUGR infants in future.

Precision Diagnostics by Affinity-Mass Spectrometry: A Novel Approach for Fetal Growth Restriction Screening During Pregnancy. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9051374.

Abstract
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) affects about 3% to 8% of pregnancies, leading to higher perinatal mortality and morbidity. Current strategies for detecting fetal growth impairment are based on ultrasound inspections. However, antenatal detection rates are insufficient and critical in countries with substandard care. To overcome difficulties with detection and to better discriminate between high risk FGR and low risk small for gestational age (SGA) fetuses, we investigated the suitability of risk assessment based on the analysis of a recently developed proteome profile derived from maternal serum in different study groups. Maternal serum, collected at around 31 weeks of gestation, was analyzed in 30 FGR, 15 SGA, and 30 control (CTRL) pregnant women who delivered between 31 and 40 weeks of gestation. From the 75 pregnant women of this study, 2 were excluded because of deficient raw data and 2 patients could not be grouped due to indeterminate results. Consistency between proteome profile and sonography results was obtained for 59 patients (26 true positive and 33 true negative). Of the proteome profiling 12 contrarious grouped individuals, 3 were false negative and 9 were false positive cases with respect to ultrasound data. Both true positive and false positive grouping transfer the respective patients to closer surveillance and thorough pregnancy management. Accuracy of the test is considered high with an area-under-curve value of 0.88 in receiver-operator-characteristics analysis. Proteome profiling by affinity-mass spectrometry during pregnancy provides a reliable method for risk assessment of impaired development in fetuses and consumes just minute volumes of maternal peripheral blood. In addition to clinical testing proteome profiling by affinity-mass spectrometry may improve risk assessment, referring pregnant women to specialists early, thereby improving perinatal outcomes.
