“…Human milk helps to notably strengthen an infant’s immune system as well as promote growth and development [ 7 ]. Zinc and various hormones, enzymes, and nutrients in breastmilk are important for protein and nucleic acid homeostasis [ 8 ]. Iron is required not only for hemopoiesis, but also for Fe-S cluster synthesis, which is especially important for respiration and DNA replication [ 9 ].…”

This study aimed to identify the relationship between selected trace elements in human milk and depression, breastfeeding self-efficacy, sleep satisfaction, and the demographic and obstetric characteristics of lactating mothers. Forty lactating mothers recovering after birth in two postpartum care centers located in Changwon, South Korea, were studied. Calcium, sodium, iron, and selenium concentrations in human milk were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry at the analysis center of Kyungnam University. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Kruskal-Wallis test, the Mann-Whiney U test, and Spearman’s correlation coefficients using an SPSS 23.0 program. There were no significant differences in concentration of selected trace elements (calcium, sodium, iron, and selenium) in human milk according to demographic and obstetric characteristics. Sodium concentration was negatively correlated with breastfeeding self-efficacy (r = −0.51, CI = −0.71 to −0.24). Selenium concentration was negatively correlated with calcium concentration (r = −0.34, CI = −0.58 to 0.38). Postpartum depression was negatively correlated with sleep satisfaction (r = −0.46, CI = −0.67 to −0.17) and with breastfeeding self-efficacy (r = −0.41, CI = −0.64 to −0.11). Breastfeeding self-efficacy was positively correlated with sleep satisfaction (r = 0.48, CI = 0.20 to 0.69). This study suggests that sodium concentration in human milk is associated with breastfeeding self-efficacy.

Although several supplementary foods are available for pregnant and lactating women, there is a need for foods able to maintain a woman's beauty without any changes in body shape. In this study, four questionnaires about nutrition management, skin care, body shape, and the intent of purchasing beauty supplementary foods, were prepared for an online survey (http://pms8011.wixsite.com/project). A total of 95 answers from 293 women were classified into four groups, based on age, income, occupation, and skin type. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS/WIN Program 22.0. The significances of the F-value analyzed by one-way ANOVA and the differences within the groups were verified by Scheffe's method. All groups were shown to have very high requirements for nutrition management and beauty standards. In the skin patterns, the groups of middle-aged women, house wife and the lower income showed high interests, with a high significance (P<0.01) in ages. With respect to body shape, significant interest was found within the groups of skin type (P<0.05) and age (P<0.001). With regard to supplementary foods, all groups showed a strong intention to purchase, but no significant differences were found. This study indicates the necessity to categorize supplementary foods by the intended target group, such as women planning to conceive, pregnant women, and lactating women.

To confirm the antioxidant and anti-hemolytic activity in human breast milk (HBM), evaluated DPPH radical scavenging and anti-hemolytic activities against hemolytic strains. As a result of measuring the pH of HBM according to the days after childbirth, the pH of the HBM less than 10 days after childbirth was 6.63±0.26, the longer the lactation period, the lower the pH of breast milk. As a result of measuring the pH of HBM according to the days after childbirth, the pH of HBM less than 10 days after childbirth was 6.63±0.26 and over 30 days after childbirth was 6.45±0.15. These results indicated that the pH of HBM decreases as the days after childbirth increases. In contrast DPPH radical scavenging activity was the highest in HBM of over 30 days after childbirth (63.72±12.24%), that is presumed to be due to the fatty acid content in HBM. As a result of confirming hemolysis of HBM, weak hemolysis was observed in some HBM samples, that are caused to be hemolysis by bacteria produced the hemolysin in HBM. Therefore, result of analyzing the anti-hemolytic effect of HBM against the hemolytic bacteria, the effect of breast milk against the gram-positive S. aureus CCARM 3855 was 66.37±21.36%, gram-negative P. aeruginosa CCARM 0223 was 29.74±9.31%. In addition, HBM samples of the less than 10 days after childbirth showed highest each anti-hemolytic activity against hemolytic strain. Thus, this study can be suggested that it will be basic study for preventing hemolytic disease in newborns.
