Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of mothers and their infants who may have been exposed to high blood glucose early and mid-pregnancy by analyzing gestational weeks and initial HbA1c levels in women diagnosed with gestational diabetes (GDM).
- In total, 107 GDM patients were examined, revealing a significant number diagnosed in the 24-28 week range, with elevated HbA1c levels indicating a higher risk of delivering large for gestational age (LGA) infants, particularly for those diagnosed later in pregnancy.
- The findings suggest that delaying screening for gestational diabetes until after the 24th week can increase both HbA1c levels and the likelihood of LGA births
The Di(b) antigen usually occurs with high incidence, except in certain Asian and South American Indian populations. In general, hemolysis caused by anti-Di(b) is not severe and its clinical course is benign. We report a Korean neonate with severe hemolytic disease of the newborn caused by anti-Di(b).

We investigated whether cotransplantation of MSC could prevent lethal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in major histocompatibility complex mismatched allogeneic murine hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using female BALB/c (H-2d, recipient) and C3H/He (H-2k, donor) mice. MSC were obtained from C3H/He bone marrow cells (BMC).
