OBJECTIVE: To compare resistance index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI) values of blood flow in arteries of uteroplacental circulation in normal and threatened abortion first trimester pregnancies. STUDY DESIGN: We have analysed 36 pregnant woman between 5th and 12th weeks of pregnancy--17 patients with threatened abortion as a test group and 19 patients with normal intrauterine pregnancy taken as controls. In all patients transvaginal ultrasonography with pulse color Doppler was performed. The RI and PI values were calculated for blood flow velocity waveforms obtained from uterine artery and its branches--arcuate, radial and spiral arteries. RESULTS: In the test group we have analysed 17 flow velocity waveforms from uterine artery (mean RI 0.852; SD 0.080, mean PI 2.324; SD 0.693), 16 from arcuate artery (mean RI 0.638; SD 0.049, mean PI 1.315; SD 0.064,), 17 from radial artery (mean RI 0.638; SD 0.049, mean PI 1.009; SD 0.177) and 15 from spiral artery (mean RI 0.548; SD 0.068, mean PI 0.804; SD 0.160); in controls we have analysed 16 flow velocity waveforms from uterine artery (mean RI 0.866; SD 0.066, mean PI 2.469; SD 0.618), 17 from arcuate artery (mean RI 0.728; SD 0.123, mean PI 1.352; SD 0.362), 19 from radial artery (mean RI 0.630; SD 0.092, mean PI 1.017; SD 0.261) and 16 from spiral artery (mean RI 0.511; SD 0.100, mean PI 0.760; SD 0.202). CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference in mean RI and PI values between normal and abnormal pregnancies. A gradual statistically significant decrease of RI and PI values during time of pregnancy we have observed only in radial arteries in both groups. For other vessels in the control group the RI and PI values tended to decrease during the time of pregnancy while in the test group some even rose up.  相似文献

We investigated the influence of the maternal heart rate on the uterine artery pulsatility index in pregnant ewes. We used an external pacemaker to alter the heart rate of 5 pregnant ewes at 16-17 weeks of pregnancy and examined the effect of changes in the maternal heart rate on the uterine artery flow velocity waveforms and the pulsatility index, as determined by Doppler velocimetry. The uterine artery pulsatility index showed a significant negative correlation with the maternal heart rate. There were no significant changes in other hemodynamic parameters. The maternal heart rate had a significant influence on the uterine artery pulsatility index.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the umbilical and uterine arterial Doppler flow velocity waveform systolic to diastolic (S/D) ratios performed at 24-30 weeks gestation for predicting fetal growth retardation (IUGR). METHODS: A prospective double blind study was conducted in 118 cases of high risk singleton pregnant women. The umbilical and uterine arterial S/D ratios were measured at 24-30 gestational weeks and the pregnancy outcomes were followed up. RESULTS: The prevalence of IUGR in our study population was 16.9%. At 24-30 weeks gestation, the S/D ratio of both umbilical artery and uterine artery in IUGR pregnant women were significantly higher than those in normal pregnant women, while the fetal biometric measurements were normal in all the 118 cases. The sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value of umbilical arterial S/D ratio to predict IUGR were 80.0%, 83.7% and 50.0% with a Kappa index of 0.51 at 24-30 weeks gestation. With lower sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and Kappa index (40.0%, 84.5%, 34.8% and 0.23 respectively), the uterine arterial S/D ratio had less predictive value. CONCLUSIONS: The umbilical arterial Doppler flow velocity waveform S/D ratio may be an earlier predictor for screening of IUGR at 24-30 weeks gestation in high risk pregnant women with normal fetal biometric measurements.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relation between the development of the uteroplacental circulation as assessed by Doppler velocimetry and the maternal blood relaxin concentration. METHODS: Transvaginal color Doppler investigation of the uteroplacental circulation was performed in 42 healthy women at 6-15 weeks' gestation before termination of pregnancy for psychosocial reasons. The resistance index (RI), pulsatility index (PI), and maximum peak velocity were recorded at the level of the main uterine artery, and the presence of intervillous flow was noted. Relaxin, hCG, 17 beta-estradiol (E2), and progesterone levels were measured in maternal venous blood. RESULTS: Limited intervillous flow was noted from 10 weeks' gestation and continuous intervillous flow from 12 weeks. An inverse relation was observed between the circulating levels of both E2 and progesterone and uterine artery RI and PI, whereas the relaxin level correlated positively with uterine RI and PI. Estradiol and progesterone levels also correlated positively with uterine peak systolic velocity and intervillous blood flow. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that both hormones contributed to the decrease in downstream resistance to uterine blood flow with advancing gestational age, as assessed by uterine RI. In addition, relaxin contributed to the uterine RI and PI and to the intervillous blood flow. CONCLUSION: These data suggest that relaxin, E2, and progesterone may influence the changes in uterine blood flow that occur in early pregnancy. The role played by E2 and progesterone in the development of the uteroplacental circulation may be modulated by relaxin, constituting a novel function for this ovarian peptide.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether bolus injection of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHAS) is associated with changes in fetal middle cerebral artery flow velocity waveforms in term pregnancy. METHODS: Ten normal full-term pregnant women received the administration of a 200-mg intravenous dose of DHAS in 20 ml of 5% dextrose. Ten normal full term pregnant women received 20 ml 5% dextrose as controls. Color Doppler flow imaging and pulsed Doppler ultrasonographic assessments were made on fetuses in each group before and 10 min, 30 min, 60 min, 90 min. and 120 min after DHAS or dextrose administration. The pulsatility index (PI) values for the middle cerebral artery, and umbilical artery, and fetal heart rate were recorded. RESULTS: In the DHAS group, middle cerebral artery PI decreased from baseline by 24% (p<.05) after 10 min, and the mean reduction was 22% (p<.05) after 30 min. The PI returned to the baseline value 60 min later. In the control group, there was no change in middle cerebral artery PI. No change was found in umbilical artery PI or fetal heart rate in the control or DHAS group. CONCLUSION: DHAS induces a significant decrease in the fetal middle cerebral artery PI, which suggests a possible decrease in fetal cerebral vascular impedance in term pregnancy.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the interrelation between estrogen synthesis by the fetoplacental unit and uteroplacental hemodynamics in term pregnancy. METHODS: Transvaginal color Doppler flow imaging and pulsed Doppler ultrasonographic assessments were made on ten normal full-term pregnant women before and 3, 5, 10, 30, and 60 minutes after the administration of a 200-mg intravenous dose of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHAS) in 20 mL of 5% dextrose. Ten normal full-term pregnant women received 20 mL of 5% dextrose as controls. The pulsatility index (PI) values for the uterine artery, heart rate, and mean arterial pressure were recorded. Plasma estradiol (E2) was measured before and 10 minutes after the infusion. RESULTS: In the DHAS group, uterine artery PI decreased from baseline by 26% (P < .05) after 5 minutes, and the mean reduction was 36% (P < .05) after 10 minutes and 15% (P < .05) after 30 minutes. The PI returned to the baseline value 60 minutes later. In the control group, there was no change in uterine artery PI. No change was found in heart rate or mean arterial blood pressure in the control or DHAS groups. The mean plasma E2 increased from 22.3 +/- 6.6 to 56.2 +/- 24.1 ng/mL (P < .05) 10 minutes after the infusion in DHAS subjects, whereas there was no significant change in plasma E2 in the controls. CONCLUSION: Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate induces a significant decrease in the uterine artery PI, which suggests a possible decrease in uterine vascular impedance in term pregnancy.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To assess whether uterine artery blood flow impedance, measured as the pulsatility index on the day of ET in patients undergoing IVF-ET with microinjection, can predict the likelihood of pregnancy. DESIGN: Prospective clinical study. SETTING: A tertiary referral center for assisted reproduction. PATIENT(S): Seventy patients undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) for andrologic indications. INTERVENTION(S): Transvaginal color Doppler examination performed on the day of ET. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Mean (+/- SD) pulsatility index value of the left and right uterine arteries, serum E2 levels, implantation rates, and ongoing pregnancy rates (PRs). RESULT(S): The patients were divided into pregnant and nonpregnant groups and were separated according to whether the pulsatility index was low (1.00-1.99), medium (2.00-2.99), or high (> or = 3.00). The pulsatility index values did not change statistically in the pregnant and nonpregnant groups. The implantation rates were 19.5%, 15.4%, and 25% for the low-, medium-, and high-pulsatility index groups, respectively. The ongoing PRs for the same groups were 35.3%, 26.7%, and 37.5%, respectively. CONCLUSION(S): The study suggests that blood flow, measured as the pulsatility index on the day of ET, cannot predict the likelihood of pregnancy in stimulated cycles of ICSI.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are demonstrable alterations in uterine artery blood flow in pregnant women with müllerian duct anomaly. STUDY DESIGN: Flow velocity waveforms obtained from the placental and nonplacental uterine arteries were studied at 18 to 24 weeks' gestational age in 15 pregnant women with müllerian duct anomaly and in 30 controls. The systolic/diastolic ratios were compared and correlated with the degree of placental laterality and perinatal outcome. RESULTS: Systolic/diastolic ratio in the uterine artery was abnormal in 80% of the cases and in 10% of controls (p < 0.0001). A completely lateral placenta was found in 10 of 15 women of the study group and only in 1 of the 30 controls (p < 0.0001). Women with müllerian duct anomaly had higher systolic/diastolic ratios in the nonplacental uterine artery than those with a normal uterus (median 4.3, range 2.0 to 7.4 vs median 2.8, range 2.0 to 4.0; p < 0.001). Twelve of 15 women of the study group had poor perinatal outcome compared with 4 of the 30 controls (p < 0.001). Among those women with poor perinatal outcome, 11 of 12 (92%) in the study group and only 1 of the 4 (25%) in the control group had an abnormal systolic/diastolic ratio in the uterine arteries (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: There is a clear association between placental laterality and high systolic/diastolic ratio in the nonplacental uterine artery in pregnant women with müllerian duct anomaly who had poor perinatal outcome. This finding suggests that unilateral placental implantation could lead to functional exclusion of one uterine artery from the uteroplacental circulation and could explain pregnancy complications in women with developmental fusion defects of the uterus.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of normal pregnancy and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy on the maternal renal artery Doppler blood flow velocity indices. METHODS: The patient material consisted of 30 normal pregnant women, 29 women with pregnancy induced hypertension, 43 women with preeclampsia and 22 pregnant women with chronic hypertension. Blood flow velocities in the segmental renal arteries from the right kidney were analysed by pulsed and color Doppler. The systolic/diastolic (s.d.) ratio, resistance index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI) were used for Doppler waveform analysis. RESULTS: In all of the groups of hypertensive pregnant women renal artery Doppler indices were significantly lower compared to the normal pregnant women group. There was a significant negative relationship between renal artery PI and mean arterial pressure in the preeclampsia group and in the chronic hypertension group. CONCLUSION: The present results demonstrate that the mechanism of renal autoregulation in preeclampsia might be altered, leaving glomerulus unprotected from increased blood pressure. It seems that the concept of renal vasoconstriction in preeclampsia might be disputed and needs further investigation.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the ratio of peak systolic to least diastolic flow velocity (S/D), pulsatile index (PI) and resistance index (RI) of the umbilical arterial doppler flow at 20-40 gestational weeks in twin pregnancy for the surveillance of twin transfusion syndrome. METHODS: The fetal hemodynamics in 36 cases of twin pregnancy were monitored by Combison A-ZIPE 4871 with spectral doppler ultrasound. RESULTS: The value of S/D ratio and PI in 4 patients with twin transfusion syndrome at 32-34 weeks were significantly higher than those of normal twin (P < 0.01). Two cases of twin reversed arterial pressure (TRAP), i.e. artery to artery transfusion in one of the twin with acardius, were found at 26 and 26 + 4 weeks respectively. CONCLUSION: The S/D ratio and PI of umbilical artery might be useful indices for the surveillance of twin transfusion syndrome.  相似文献

A total of 96 women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment were examined by transvaginal ultrasonography with colour and pulsed Doppler ultrasound on the 22nd day of the menstrual cycle preceding IVF. We assessed endometrial thickness, endometrial morphology, myometrial echogenicity, subendometrial vascularization, the uterine artery pulsatility index, protodiastolic notch and end diastolic blood flow in order to define a uterine score which could be correlated with the pregnancy rate. The overall pregnancy rate was 30.2%, and there was no difference between the pregnant and non-pregnant groups with regard to any of the ultrasonographic and Doppler parameters when examined separately. However, the uterine score was significantly higher in the pregnant group (15.9 +/- 2.81 versus 12.7 +/- 5.3, P = 0.002; t-test). No pregnancy occurred if the score was between 0 and 10. With a score of 11-15 there was a 34.7% chance of pregnancy, and scores >16 had a 42% chance of pregnancy. In conclusion, individual ultrasonographic and Doppler parameters are not of sufficient accuracy to predict uterine receptivity. The uterine score calculated prior to IVF cycles appears to be a useful predictor of implantation.  相似文献

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to investigate the relation between orbital vessel flow velocity and oxygen delivery, oxygen consumption, cardiac index, and systemic vascular resistance index in critically ill pregnant patients. STUDY DESIGN: Eighteen pregnant or early postpartum patients requiring invasive monitoring were prospectively studied with Doppler ultrasonography. The blood flow velocity and resistance index from the central retinal and ophthalmic arteries were plotted against the oxygen delivery index, oxygen consumption index, cardiac index, and systemic vascular resistance index. Linear and polynomial regression analysis and receiver-operator characteristic curves were used to examine the data. RESULTS: The ophthalmic artery resistance index correlated with oxygen consumption, oxygen delivery index, and cardiac index. Only the cardiac index was independently related to the the ophthalmic artery resistance index. The ophthalmic artery diastolic velocity correlated with oxygen consumption index, oxygen delivery index, and cardiac index. The ophthalmic artery diastolic velocity correlated independently with mixed venous oxygen content and arteriovenous oxygen content difference. The central retinal artery Doppler index did not correlate with any of the invasively measured parameters. An ophthalmic artery diastolic velocity of > 7.12 cm/sec identified 75% of patients with an oxygen consumption index of < 140 ml/min per square meter and 91% of patients with an oxygen delivery index of < 600 ml/min per square meter. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that the ophthalmic artery flow velocity is correlated with systemic oxygen delivery and consumption. This relationship may have potential research applications in the noninvasive assessment of oxygen delivery index and oxygen consumption index in critically ill pregnant patients.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the hemodynamic effects of maternal hypo- and hyperoxygenation in normal term pregnancy. METHODS: Ten healthy women between 35-41 weeks' gestation were exposed to 10% oxygen in inspired air for 10 minutes and, after a 5-minute recovery period, to a stepwise increase in oxygenation with 50 and 100% oxygen for 10 minutes. Maternal ventilation, hemodynamics, and oxygenation were assessed noninvasively, and maternal and fetal vascular responses were assessed with pulsed-wave color Doppler velocimetry. Computerized cardiotocography was used for fetal heart rate (FHR) analysis. RESULTS: Substantial maternal hypoxia was achieved and accompanied by a statistically significant rise in the maternal heart rate (from 89 +/- 11 to 104 +/- 16 beats per minute) and systolic blood pressure (from 123 +/- 13 to 131 +/- 13 mmHg). Doppler measurements demonstrated a statistically significant decline in the pulsatility index (PI) of the maternal internal carotid artery (from 1.8 +/- 0.3 to 1.5 +/- 0.4) and an increase in the uterine artery PI (from 0.60 +/- 0.12 to 0.72 +/- 0.13). Baseline FHR, heart rate variability, and Doppler velocimetry in the umbilical artery and the middle cerebral artery showed no statistically significant changes. Hyperoxia did not cause changes in the maternal circulation, but the FHR decreased significantly (from 142 +/- 12 to 133 +/- 11 beats per minute). CONCLUSION: Acute short-term hypoxia modifies the maternal circulation, suggesting redistribution of maternal blood flow, but exerts no detectable effects on the healthy fetus. Maternal hyperoxygenation induces no apparent adverse effects.  相似文献

The chances of nidation after in vitro fertilization procedures are contingent upon the development potential of the transferred embryo(s), but they also depend on the receptivity of the endometrium and on the uterine vascular supply. It is generally accepted that the chances of pregnancy are practically nil: if the endometrium is less than 8 mm thick, and/or if the uterine pulsatility index (PI) is below 3. However, the predictive value of the Doppler evaluation alone is poor to the extent that other parameters require consideration, such as the aspect of the endometrium and/or the number of embryos transferred. This is why our group initiated a prospective study on 213 patients designed to validate a 10 point scale based on: -the PI of each uterine artery on the day of transfer; -the features of the protodiastolic notch (absent, moderate or clearcut); -the thickness of the endometrium; -the number of embryos transferred. Each parameter by itself had a poor predictive value: optimal values of endometrium thickness and pulsatility index (PI) predicted a 29% and 33% pregnancy rate, which is hardly higher than our overall pregnancy rate (24%). By contrast, a score that encompasses all these parameters increased predictive value, with a score > 9 the probability of pregnancy reach 53% and the one of multiple pregnancy 24%. Our results emphasize the usefulness of a score prior embryo transfer which should be used to adjust the number of embryos transferred. When the score is higher than 10 transferring 2 embryos will prevent the risk of multiple pregnancy. 3 embryos should be transferred when the score is between 7 and 10, and a bad score (< or = 6) should delay the transfer.  相似文献

AIM: To determine whether antenatal administration of thyrotrophin releasing hormone (TRH), to promote lung maturation, alters blood flow through the fetal middle cerebral, umbilical artery, or ductus arteriosus and through the maternal uterine arteries. METHODS: The effect of transplacentally administered TRH on the fetal circulation was prospectively evaluated in 30 patients between 24 and 34 weeks' gestation. TRH (400 micrograms) was given to the mother intravenously either as a bolus or an infusion. Fetal effects were determined by measuring the maximum velocity and pulsatility index (PI) in middle cerebral artery, ductus arteriosus, uterine artery and umbilical artery Doppler waveforms. Measurements were made immediately before, and 10 and 60 minutes after maternal TRH administration. RESULTS: Intravenous injection of TRH had no significant effect on PI in the uterine, umbilical, or middle cerebral artery and the ductus arteriosus within 60 minutes of administration in either group. CONCLUSION: The antenatal use of TRH in conjunction with steroids for fetal lung maturity does not affect utero-placental or fetal haemodynamic variables, as measured by Doppler. These findings, therefore, do not support the suggestion that antenatal intravenous administration of TRH either as bolus or infusion may have immediate adverse vascular effects in the fetus.  相似文献

To investigate the relationship between age and renal vascular resistance and to establish normative data of the systolic/diastolic ratio (S/D ratio), pulsatility index (PI), and resistant index (RI) of the renal artery in the normal pediatric population, we studied 252 normal children aged newborn to 13 years (a total of 449 kidneys) with a color Doppler unit. After the normality of the kidney was established, color flow mapping was performed to localize the segmental portion of the renal artery. Flow velocity waveforms were then obtained by pulsed Doppler, and S/D ratio, PI, and RI were calculated. Multiple regression analysis confirmed the age dependence of the S/D ratio, PI, and RI of the renal artery in normal children. Renal vascular resistance continuously declines after birth and stabilizes at the age of 102-130 months. Normative data for S/D ratio, PI, and RI of the renal artery in normal children were established for each age group. Since renal vascular resistance decreases with age and stabilizes at 8-10 years, we suggest using different normal ranges for each age group when studying renal vascular resistance in pediatric patients.  相似文献

> Objective: To establish whether uterine artery flow velocity waveforms in the second trimester are associated with adverse pregnancy outcome in women with a poor obstetric history. Methods: We reviewed the obstetric case notes of 50 women with a poor obstetric history in previous pregnancies in whom uterine artery flow velocity waveforms had been obtained at 18 weeks gestation. Results: In this population 40% had an adverse pregnancy outcome (preeclampsia, pregnancy-induced hypertension, preterm delivery, birthweight <10th percentile or perinatal death). Preeclampsia, perinatal death, and preterm delivery were all significantly associated with abnormal uterine artery waveforms at 18 weeks. Conclusions: Assessment of uterine artery flow velocity waveforms at 18 weeks gestation shows promise as a screening test in the high risk obstetric population. The technique requires formal evaluation in a prospective, double blinded study.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to document the Doppler indices [pulsatility index (PI) and resistance index (RI)] of the uterine arteries in 30 patients who underwent hysteroscopic rollerball endometrial ablation for dysfunctional uterine bleeding by transvaginal pulsed Doppler sonography, and to reveal whether treatment failures (persistent menometrorrhagia) can be predicted by the blood flow characteristics of the uterine arteries in advance. On the basis of the outcome of patients at the end of the first postoperative year, the Doppler indices of the uterine arteries were meaningful 1 year after the operation when PI (1.32 +/- 0.11; mean +/- SD) and RI (0.71 +/- 0.04) in six menometrorrhagic patients were statistically different from PI (2.19 +/- 0.28; 1.95 +/- 0.36 and 1.82 +/- 0.37) and RI (0.87 +/- 0.06; 0.82 +/- 0.06 and 0.81 +/- 0.04) in normally menstruating, amenorrhoeic and hypomenorrhoeic patients respectively (P < 0.05). On the other hand, the patients who would be menometrorrhagic one year after the operation had a thicker endometrium in the first post-operative month. These findings suggest that the angiogenetic role of the persistent endometrial islands after endometrial ablation needs at some time to be reflected as changes in the Doppler parameters of the uterine arteries.  相似文献

Objective: To review and sum up the published literature on gynecological Doppler ultrasound examination. Methods: Publications on gynecological Doppler ultrasound examination already known by the author, publications found in the bibliographic database Medline, and publications found in the reference lists of available studies were read, and relevant information was extracted and summarized. Results: Reference data representative of normal findings at transvaginal color and spectral Doppler ultrasound examination of the uterine and ovarian arteries have been established in healthy pre- and post-menopausal women and in normal early pregnancies. Blood flow velocities in the uterine and ovarian arteries change during the normal menstrual cycle and are very different in pre- and post-menopausal women. Lower blood flow velocities and higher pulsatility index (PI) values have been recorded in the ovarian arteries after the menopause. Uterine artery blood flow velocities increase and uterine artery PI values and resistance index (RI) values decrease with gestational age in the first trimester. There is not yet an established role of the gynecological Doppler ultrasound examination in clinical practice. It remains unclear whether the gynecological Doppler ultrasound examination contributes substantially to the clinical management of early pregnancy complications or infertility problems, to the differential diagnosis of pelvic masses or uterine pathology. Conclusions: Large prospective studies-preferably randomized controled trials-are needed to determine the clinical value of the gynecological Doppler ultrasound examination.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of gemeprost on utero-placental and luteal circulation and on the embryo/fetus in normal first trimester pregnancies. STUDY DESIGN: Sixty-seven women with a normal first trimester pregnancy requesting termination of pregnancy for psychosocial reasons were randomly allocated to pre-operative treatment with vaginal suppositories containing placebo or gemeprost. The women underwent transvaginal color and spectral Doppler ultrasound examination before the application of the suppository, 4 h after the application of the suppository but before the abortion, and on the seventh post-operative day. Blood flow velocities in the uterine and subchorionic arteries, the intrachorionic area and arteries in the wall of the corpus luteum and the embryonic/fetal heart rate were measured. RESULTS: The median value for pulsatility index (PI) in the dominant uterine artery was 2.4 before treatment with gemeprost and 8.5 4 h after treatment (P = 0.0006); the corresponding values for time-averaged maximum velocity (TAMXV) being 27 cm/s and 10 cm/s (P = 0.0006). Four (14%) of 28 embryos/fetuses in the gemeprost group were dead 4 h after treatment with gemeprost and the median heart rate of those still alive was significantly lower than before treatment (130 vs. 163 bpm; P = 0.003). In the placebo group, the results for the uterine arteries and the embryonic/fetal heart rate did not differ significantly between the first and second ultrasound examinations. The median values for PI and TAMXV in the arteries of the corpus luteum wall at the first ultrasound examination were 0.71 and 18 cm/s, respectively, in the placebo group and 0.71 and 20 cm/s, respectively, in the gemeprost group. These values remained almost unchanged at the second and third ultrasound examinations in both groups. CONCLUSION: Gemeprost has profound effects on utero-placental circulation in the first trimester and can induce embryonic/fetal bradycardia and sometimes embryonic/fetal demise. It has no unequivocal effect on luteal circulation.  相似文献
