Reversal of Hypoglycemia Unawareness with a Single-donor, Marginal Dose Allogeneic Islet Transplantation in Korea: A Case Report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Pancreatic islet transplantation is a physiologically advantageous and minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Here, we describe the first reported case of successful allogeneic islet transplantation alone, using single-donor, marginal-dose islets in a Korean patient. A 59-yr-old patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus, who suffered from recurrent severe hypoglycemia, received 4,163 islet equivalents/kg from a single brain-death donor. Isolated islets were infused intraportally without any complications. The immunosuppressive regimen was based on the Edmonton protocol, but the maintenance dosage was reduced because of mucositis and leukopenia. Although insulin independence was not achieved, the patient showed stabilized blood glucose concentration, reduced insulin dosage and reversal of hypoglycemic unawareness, even with marginal dose of islets and reduced immunosuppressant. Islet transplantation may successfully improve endogenous insulin production and glycemic stability in subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
