FINDINGS

Gene-environmental interaction
Genetic modification effects of prenatal exposure to ETS on early childhood neurobehavioral development and atopic dermatitis.

APOE may modify the adverse effect of mercury on childhood neurobehavioral development.

Psychosocial Factors affect neurobehavioral development
Work stress seemed to be an adverse effect on child’s motor development and externalizing behavior.

Seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis and cytomegalovirus
The seroprevalence of CMV among childbearing women is high in northern Taiwan. The immigrant mothers and the teenage mothers have higher seropositivity of CMV IgM.

Co exposure
Interaction between the manganese and lead levels in the cord blood could aggravate the neurotoxic effect.

Prenatal PFAS exposure
Prenatal PFAS exposure and adverse child health such as fetal and child growth, neurodevelopment, thyroid hormone disruption, atopic dermatitis.

Phthalate exposure and atopic disorders
Early life phthalate exposure may increase the risk of allergic sensitization and atopic disorders.
