请看例句：

New research involving half a million pregnant women across China is expected to greatly improve control and prevention of risks related to birth defects, which are likely to increase with the adoption of the universal second-child policy.

涵盖全国50万孕妇的新研究将极大改善对出生缺陷风险的防控。随着全面二孩的放开，新生儿的出生缺陷可能会增加。

随着全面二孩放开(adoption of the universal second-child policy)，高龄、高危孕产妇(older and high-risk pregnant women)数量不断增加，如何实现优生优育(bear and rear better children)成为更加重要的社会议题，然而，出生缺陷(birth defect)仍是不少家庭的噩梦。

近日，国家启动重大出生缺陷风险研究项目，该项目由北京妇产医院牵头，17个省市、33家医疗机构参加，将构建中国首个出生缺陷风险数据库(database of birth defect risks)，提出适合中国人群孕早期致畸风险监控方案。

这次研究将分析重大出生缺陷发生的危险因素(analyze risk factors for major birth defects)，应用大数据挖掘筛选致畸因子(use big data technology to single out factors that may cause birth defects)，比如环境、遗传、慢性病等(such as environment, heritage and chronic diseases)，并建立风险等级评估系统(establish a risk evaluation system)。

目前预计，标本库中将存入的标本至少会超过100万，数量庞大，未来，这个标本库将会是国际合作、开放共享的(all the samples will be open for sharing with international communities for cooperation)。
