Purpose: To assess the association of specific newborn and maternal factors with indicators of increased blood-forming capacity in umbilical cord blood to inform strategic collection strategies that could augment the quality of units in public cord blood banks. Methods: Data regarding 268 consecutive cord blood units (CBUs) banked by Canadian Blood Services were analyzed. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify factors associated with markers of hematopoietic potency and likelihood of utilization. Results: Delayed clamping of the cord beyond 60 s was associated with reduced volume collected. Any delay in clamping of the cord was associated with reduced total nucleated cell counts. Newborn weight >4,000 g was also associated with greater blood volume in the collection but not with other measures of hematopoietic potency. Cord blood acidosis at birth (pH

Abstract Objective The immune system plays a central role in the pathophysiology of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Monocytes, the main innate immune cells, are especially important in the maintenance of a normal pregnancy. Here, we investigated the potential effect of monocytes in GDM. Materials and Methods: Monocyte count was monitored throughout pregnancy in 214 women with GDM and 926 women without in a case-control and cohort study. Circulating levels of inflammatory cytokines, placenta-derived macrophages and their products were measured. Results Throughout pregnancy, monocyte count was significantly decreased in women with GDM, and closely associated with glucose level, insulin resistance and newborn weight. First-trimester monocyte count outperformed that of the second and third trimester as a risk factor and diagnostic predictor of GDM and macrosomia in both the case-control and cohort study. In addition, our cohort study showed that as first-trimester monocyte count decreased, GDM and macrosomia incidence, glucose level and newborn weight increased in a stepwise manner. Risk of GDM started to decrease rapidly when first-trimester monocyte count exceeded 0.48 × 10 9/L. Notably, CD206 and IL-10 were significantly lower, while CD80, CD86, TNF-α and IL-6 were higher in both GDM placental tissue and peripheral blood. First-trimester monocyte count was positively related to IL-10 and CD206, but negatively related to CD80, CD86, TNF-α and IL-6. Conclusions Decreased monocyte count throughout pregnancy was closely-associated with the development of GDM, macrosomia and the chronic inflammatory state of GDM. First-trimester monocyte count has great potential as an early diagnostic marker of GDM.

ABSTRACT UTERI FUNDUS HIGH RELATIONSHIP, BLOOD SUGAR AND CONDITIONSHEMOGLOBIN MOM WITH A NEW BORN WEIGHT  Background : Maternal and infant mortality rates are indicators commonly used to determine the degree of public health, assessment of the success of other health development programs. Low birth weight accounted for 51% of neonatal deaths throughout birth. The size of the birth weight depends on how the intrauterine fetus develops during pregnancy. This birth weight is one of the indicators of newborn health.Purpose: This research to find out the relationship between Uterine Fundus Height, Blood Sugar Levels, Hemoglobin Levels of mothers with weight and newborns at Puskesmas Sindang Jaya Year 2020.Method : This research is an Analytical Survey research with Cross Sectional design. The sample in this study of pregnant women who gave birth from june to August as many as 40 people.Results : In the results that there is a statistically significant relationship between high fundus uteri, blood sugar levels, and hemoglobin levels of mothers with baby weight born in the puskesmas sindang jaya with p value of 0.013 for high fudus ureteri, p value 0.042 for blood sugar levels, and p value of 0.069 for hemoglobin levels. Which means that all three variables have a p value of <0.05). With the variable that most affects the baby's weight is a high variable fundus erteri with a value (OR : 24).Conclusion : There is a link between high uterine fundus, blood sugar levels, and hemoglobin levels of mothers with newborn weight at Puskesmas Sindang Jaya Year 2020Suggestion  It is hoped that the next researcher can conduct further research because there are still many factors that can affect the weight of the newborn. Keywords : Baby Weight Born, Uterine Fundus Height, Blood Sugar Levels, Hemoglobin Levels. ABSTRAK Latar Belakang : Angka kematian ibu dan bayi adalah indikator yang lazim digunakan untuk menentukan derajat kesehatan masyarakat, penilaian terhadap keberhasilan pelayanan kesehatan program pembangunan kesehatan lainnya.

Yang artinya dari ketiga variabel memiliki nilai p value <0,05. Dengan variabel yang paling mempengaruhi berat badan bayi adalah variabel tinggi fundus uteri dengan nilai (OR : 24).Kesimpulan : Ada hubungan antara tinggi fundus uterus, kadar gula darah, dan kadar hemoglobin ibu dengan berat badan bayi baru lahir di Puskesmas Sindang Jaya Tahun 2020Saran: Diharapkan bagi peneliti selanjutnya dapat melakukan penelitian lebih lanjut dikarenakan masih banyak faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi berat badan bayi baru lahir.Kata Kunci : Berat Bayi Lahir, Tinggi Fundus Uteri, Kadar Gula Darah, Kadar Hemoglobin.

AbstractIn this study, we analyzed the obstetric factors affecting total nucleated cells (TNC) content of cord blood units to establish the criteria for umbilical cord blood (UCB) donor selection in our geographic area.UCB was collected from normal uncomplicated pregnancies. In every case, following data were recorded: (1) gestation length; (2) type of delivery (cesarean or vaginal); and (3) newborn characteristics: weight and sex. For each sample, TNC content, percentage and number of CD34+ cells, and viability were analyzed.The results showed that TNC content increases with cord blood volume, gestational length and newborn weight. The mean blood volume and the mean TNC per unit were 42.37 ± 13.5 ml and 55.49 ± 19.4 × 107, respectively. Stepwise regression analysis revealed a positive and significant correlation (r= 0.89) between these two variables. Meanwhile the CD34+ cell content remains unchanged in deliveries at 32–40 weeks of gestation. The mean CD34+ percentage obtained was 0.37 ± 0.06, and the total number of CD34+ cells was 4.827 ± 0.8204 × 104 / mL UCB.Concluding, the maternal and obstetric factors have a significant impact on UCB cell quantity and quality. The main criteria for UCB collection and storage resulted to be: a gestational age higher than 36–40 weeks and newborn weight > 3200g; gestation number ≤ 2 and placental weight > 700g can be added to the standard criteria to improve the bank efficiency. Our results have also become helpful in evaluating stored UCB units to establish the adequacy for clinical transplant utilization.
