“…The shorter the gestational age is, the worse the developmental status of preterm infants (18). Preterm infants, especially the extremely preterm and very preterm infants, are usually accompanied by immature gut and immune system, and therefore, are prone to shortand long-term health consequences, such as infections, growth concerns, developmental impairments, and other comorbidities (19). As suggested in animal studies, LPN might play a critical role in preterm birth.…”

BackgroundLactopontin (LPN) in breast milk, also known as milk osteopontin is thought to play a myriad of important roles in infants when they are immature. The purpose of the present study was to examine the longitudinal changes in LPN concentrations in term and preterm milk, and elucidate the links between maternal characteristics, LPN levels, and child growth in a birth cohort.Methods131 mothers who delivered term, moderate-late preterm (MPT), very preterm (VPT), and extremely preterm (EPT) infants were included, milk samples were collected at 7, 14, 28, and 120 days postpartum. LPN concentration was determined by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS).ResultsOur results indicated that LPN change over time of VPT (P = 0.024) and EPT (P = 0.003) were significantly different from term milk, although they all gradually decreased with lactation. In terms of LPN-related factors, maternal age was a significant contributor in late mature milk and pre-pregnancy BMI a significant contributor to colostrum and transitional milk. We further investigated relationships between LPN levels and infant weight and our results suggested that high levels of LPN in breast milk might be useful for the catch-up growth of infants.ConclusionLPN levels in breast milk are related to maternal factors, and differences in LPN levels may affect the growth of infants. As milk is a critical part in the mother–breastmilk–infant “triad,” the association between maternal-infant factors and milk LPN levels warrants further study.

“…53 Poor immune function in LBW/PTB infants can lead to the early colonization of cariogenic bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans 49,54 and then increase an individual's susceptibility to dental caries. Furthermore, LBW/PTB often develop diseases in other systems such as malnutrition, 55,56 and the severity of malnourishment was thought to be positively correlated with dental caries. 57 In contrast, some researchers thought that premature babies had a higher rate of pulmonary infection than full-term infants in the first year of life, 4,58 and the use of subsequent antibiotics was considered to inhibit the colonization of Streptococcus mutans, which can lead to a decrease in the prevalence of dental caries in PTB infants.…”

Background Studies on the association between adverse birth outcomes and dental caries in children have shown conflicting results, so the aim of this systematic review and meta‐analysis was to investigate the association between adverse birth outcomes and dental caries in children. Methods We systematically searched articles in four electronic databases (Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library and Embase) published prior to August 2021. The odds ratio (OR) (or converted OR) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were processed. The certainty of evidence was assessed using GRADE's risk bias assessment tool. Random effects model was used for this meta‐analysis. Results A total of thirty‐one observational studies met the inclusion criteria. The pooled estimates indicated that children exposed to low birth weight (LBW)/preterm birth (PTB) did not experience higher dental caries in primary teeth. Subgroup analyses showed that children with LBW (OR: 1.30, 95% CI: 1.03–1.63) were prone to have dental caries in primary teeth for cross‐sectional studies, but no significant differences for prospective studies. PTB children experienced more primary caries in high‐income countries (OR: 1.31, 95% CI: 1.00–1.70) than in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Conclusions The current evidence did not suggest a significant association between LBW and dental caries in children for primary teeth. Children with PTB in high‐income countries had a higher prevalence of primary dental caries. Further prospective studies should adjust for confounding factors (age, oral health and family finances) to determine the definitive association between LBW/PTB and dental caries.
