Vaginal microbial communities and combination efforts predict preterm birth in Chinese women.

Physiological glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) values in each trimester are not well defined. This study aimed to determine trimester-specific reference intervals for HbA1c levels in non-diabetic pregnant women in China.

Trimester-specific reference intervals for hemoglobin A1c in non-diabetic pregnancy in a Chinese population.

Skin, the largest organ of body, is a highly immunogenic tissue with a diverse collection of immune cells. Highly polymorphic human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules have a central role in coordinating immune responses as recognition molecules. Nevertheless, HLA gene expression patterns among diverse cell types within a specific organ, like the skin, have yet to be thoroughly investigated, with stromal cells attracting much less attention than immune cells. To illustrate HLA expression profiles across different cell types in the skin, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analyses on skin datasets, covering adult and fetal skin, and hair follicles as the skin appendages. We revealed the variation in HLA expression between different skin populations by examining normal adult skin datasets. Moreover, we evaluated the potential immunogenicity of multiple skin populations based on the expression of classical HLA class I genes, which were well represented in all cell types. Furthermore, we generated scRNA-seq data of developing skin from fetuses of 15 post conception weeks (PCW), 17 PCW, and 22 PCW, delineating the dynamic expression of HLA genes with cell type-dependent variation among various cell types during development. Notably, the pseudotime trajectory analysis unraveled the significant variance in HLA genes during the evolution of vascular endothelial cells. Moreover, we uncovered the immune-privileged properties of hair follicles at single-cell resolution. Our study presents a comprehensive single-cell transcriptomic landscape of HLA genes in the skin, which provides new insights into variation in HLA molecules and offers a clue for allogeneic skin transplantation.
