Current Perspectives on Umbilical Cord Abnormalities Including Blood Flow Parameters Based on Ultrasound Observations

The umbilical cord is a vital structure between the fetus and placenta for the growth and well-being of the fetus. Although the umbilical cord may be the only organ that dies at the beginning of life, it is one of the most important parts of the feta-placental unit and plays a role in determining how life begins. In general, the prenatal examination of the umbilical cord is limited to the observation of the number of vessels and the evaluation of umbilical artery blood flow parameters. Pathologists have done more research on the morphological characteristics of the umbilical cord and linked them to perinatal outcomes. The introduction of advanced imaging technology makes it possible to study the characteristics of fetal umbilical cord from early to late gestation. Many studies have shown that the changes of umbilical cord structure may be related to pathological conditions, such as preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction. Prenatal morphometric umbilical cord characteristics and arterial blood flow parameters in normal and pathologic conditions are discussed in this review.     

Suppression of trophoblast uterine spiral artery remodeling by estrogen during baboon pregnancy: impact on uterine and fetal blood flow dynamics

The present study was conducted to determine the impact of suppressing trophoblast remodeling of the uterine spiral arteries by prematurely elevating estrogen levels in the first trimester of baboon pregnancy on uterine and umbilical blood flow dynamics. Uteroplacental blood flow was assessed by Doppler ultrasonography after acute administration of saline (basal state) and serotonin on days 60, 100, and 160 of gestation (term: 184 days) to baboons in which uterine spiral artery remodeling had been suppressed by the administration of estradiol on days 25-59 of gestation. Maternal blood pressure in the basal state was increased (P < 0.01), and uterine artery diastolic notching and the umbilical artery pulsatility index and systolic-to-diastolic ratio, reflecting downstream flow impedance, were increased (P < 0.01) after serotonin administration on day 160, but not earlier, in baboons treated with estradiol in early gestation. These changes in uteroplacental flow dynamics in serotonin-infused, estradiol-treated animals were accompanied by a decrease (P < 0.05) in uterine and umbilical artery volume flow and fetal bradycardia. The results of this study show that suppression of uterine artery remodeling by advancing the rise in estrogen from the second trimester to the first trimester disrupted uteroplacental blood flow dynamics and fetal homeostasis after vasochallenge late in primate pregnancy.     

Hemodynamic analysis of Hyrtl anastomosis in human placenta

The Hyrtl anastomosis is a common connection between the umbilical arteries near the cord insertion in most human placentas. It has been speculated that it equalizes the blood pressure between the territories supplied by the umbilical arteries. However, its functional role in the regulation and distribution of fetal blood flow to the placenta has not yet been explored. A computational model has been developed for quantitative analysis of hemodynamic characteristic of the Hyrtl anastomosis in cases of discordant blood flow in the umbilical arteries. Simulations were performed for cases of either increased placental resistance at the downstream end or reduced arterial blood flow due to some pathologies upstream of one of the arteries. The results indicate that when placental territories of one artery impose increased resistance to fetal blood flow, the Hyrtl anastomosis redistributes the blood flow into the second artery to reduce the large pressure gradients that are developed in the affected artery. When one of the arteries conducts a smaller blood flow into the placenta and a relatively smaller pressure gradient is developed, the Hyrtl anastomosis rebuilds the pressure gradients in the affected artery and redistributes blood flow from the unaffected artery to the affected one to improve placental perfusion. In conclusion, the Hyrtl anastomosis plays the role of either a safety valve or a pressure stabilizer between the umbilical arteries at the placental insertion.     

The effects of prostacyclin and thromboxane analogue (U46619) on the fetal circulation and umbilical flow velocity waveforms

In placental insufficiency and pre-eclampsia the relative production rates of prostacyclin and thromboxane by the placenta and umbilical vessels are altered and the Doppler umbilical flow velocity waveform shows a high resistance pattern. To investigate the control of umbilical placental blood flow by those eicosanoids either prostacyclin (10 micrograms/min), or the thromboxane analogue U46619 (10 ng/min) was infused into the distal aorta of 12 chronically catheterized fetal lambs at day 125. Thromboxane produced a rise in mean arterial pressure and a rise in the systolic diastolic ratio of the umbilical artery flow waveform (2.6 to 3.1; P less than 0.05). Umbilical blood flow did not change and there was no evidence of altered flow to other organs. Prostacyclin caused a fall in fetal mean arterial pressure and a decrease in the umbilical artery systolic diastolic ratio (2.9 to 2.4; P less than 0.05). Prostacyclin produced a three-fold increase in lung perfusion (and the onset of fetal breathing movements) and this was associated with a 90% reduction in muscle blood flow (hindlimb muscle flow reduced from 12.5 to 1.1 ml.min-1 100g-1; P less than 0.01). We conclude that the local release of thromboxane in the fetal placental vascular bed could account for the rise in systolic diastolic ratio seen in umbilical placental insufficiency.     

The effect of selective umbilical embolization on the common umbilical artery pulsatility index and umbilical vascular resistance in fetal sheep.

In eight anaesthesized fetal sheep (gestational age 112-127 days; term 147 days), embolization of the umbilical placental circulation was performed in order to evaluate the response of the umbilical artery pulsatility index to an exclusive increase in umbilical vascular resistance. Measurements were performed using a 20 MHz pulsed Doppler transducer and an electromagnetic flow meter mounted on the common umbilical artery and catheters at the aortic trifurcation and in one of the umbilical veins. Umbilical vascular resistance was calculated according the Poiseuille equation as the ratio of aortic to umbilical venous pressure gradient and umbilical blood flow. Microspheres were administered at 15-min intervals through a catheter in one of the cotyledonary arteries, until fetal heart rate had decreased beneath 100 beats/min or had become arrhythmic. The period of examination per fetus varied between 60 and 120 min, after which cardiac decompensation occurred. During this period, umbilical perfusion pressure increased from 20.3 +/- 4.9 to 28.1 +/- 4.7 mmHg (SD; P less than 0.01), umbilical blood flow (ml/min) decreased from 342 +/- 127 to 115 +/- 99 mmHg (SD; P less than 0.01), umbilical vascular resistance increased from 0.065 +/- 0.022 to 0.342 +/- 0.150 mmHg.min/ml (P less than 0.01) and common umbilical artery pulsatility index increased from 0.97 +/- 0.23 to 4.03 +/- 1.69 (P less than 0.01). Fetal heart rate did not change significantly (168 +/- 33 prior to cardiac decompensation versus 178 +/- 19 beats/min at baseline condition). The linear correlation between common umbilical artery pulsatility index and umbilical vascular resistance varied between 0.83 and 0.99 and the average correlation was 0.93 (P less than 0.01).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Developmental changes in ovine myocardial glucose transporters and insulin signaling following hyperthermia-induced intrauterine fetal growth restriction

Developmental changes in ovine myocardial glucose transporters and insulin signaling following hyperthermia-induced intrauterine fetal growth restriction (IUGR) were the focus of our study. Our objective was to test the hypothesis that the fetal ovine myocardium adapts during an IUGR gestation by increasing glucose transporter protein expression, plasma membrane-bound glucose transporter protein concentrations, and insulin signal transduction protein concentrations. Growth measurements and whole heart tissue were obtained at 55 days gestational age (dGA), 90 dGA, and 135 dGA (term = 145 dGA) in fetuses from control (C) and hyperthermic (HT) pregnant sheep. Additionally, in 135 dGA animals, arterial blood was obtained and Doppler ultrasound was used to determine umbilical artery systolic (S) and diastolic (D) flow velocity waveform profiles to calculate pulsatility (S - D/mean) and resistance (S - D/S) indices. Myocardial Glut-1, Glut-4, insulin signal transduction proteins involved in Glut-4 translocation, and glycogen content were measured. Compared to age-matched controls, HT 90-dGA fetal body weights and HT 135-dGA fetal weights and gross heart weights were lower. Heart weights as a percent of body weights were similar between C and HT sheep at 135 dGA. HT 135-dGA animals had (i) lower fetal arterial plasma glucose and insulin concentrations, (ii) lower arterial blood oxygen content and higher plasma lactate concentrations, (iii) higher myocardial Glut-4 plasma membrane (PM) protein and insulin receptor beta protein (IRbeta ) concentrations, (iv) higher myocardial glycogen content, and (v) higher umbilical artery Doppler pulsatility and resistance indices. The HT ovine fetal myocardium adapts to reduced circulating glucose and insulin concentrations by increasing plasma membrane Glut-4 and IRbeta protein concentrations. The increased myocardial Glut-4 PM and IRbeta protein concentrations likely contribute to or increase the intracellular delivery of glucose and, together with the increased lactate concentrations, enhance glycogen synthesis, which allows for maintained myocardial growth commensurate with fetal body growth.     

Relationship between the changes in placental blood flow resistance assessed by Doppler technique and maternal serum placental aminopeptidases, which degrade vaso-active peptides, in pre-eclampsia.

Our study showed that there were statistically significant correlations between the systolic and diastolic ratio (S/D) of maternal uterine or umbilical artery and the levels of maternal serum aminopeptidase activities in pre-eclampsia. Kininase I was positively correlated with the S/D ratios, whereas placental leucine aminopeptidase (P-LAP) and aminopeptidase A were negatively correlated with the S/D ratios. It is known that the increased S/D ratios reflect the increased utero-placental blood flow resistance. Since our previous study showed that placental aminopeptidases degrade vasoactive peptides such as oxytocin, angiotensin and bradykinin, which the fetus actively produces, our present study suggests that the increased vascular resistance in feto-placental circulation in pre-eclampsia is partly controlled by changes in vaso-active peptides, via degradation by placental aminopeptidases.     

The use of chemical analyses of umbilical cord blood for the computation of instantaneous fetal growth

From the umbilical veno-arterial differences in the concentrations of carbohydrates, lipids and amino acids, and of oxygen, carbon dioxide and urea, one can calculate what fractions of the three fuels are burned and what fractions are deposited and constitute growth of the fetus. If umbilical blood flow is also measured, it is possible to calculate the instantaneous rate of fetal growth. Blood can be sampled from the umbilical artery and vein by means of indwelling catheters in unanesthetized sheep. Measurements of umbilical blood flow in unanesthetized sheep are available also. Application of the proposed analysis to published cord blood values for the fetal lamb lead to a predicted rate of growth that was in good agreement with the observed rate of growth. It also showed that a small uptake of a lipid like fuel is still being overlooked. It is concluded that analysis of a set of cord blood samples makes possible a calculation of the fraction of fuel uptake of the fetus that is being used for growth, at the time the samples were taken.
