Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Uterine artery Doppler anomalies are associated with unfavorable outcomes in women with preeclampsia.
Objectives: To examine the association between abnormal uterine artery Doppler and severity of preeclampsia.
Study Design: Retrospective analysis of a population of 287 patients with preeclampsia who underwent a uterine artery Doppler velocimetric examination at the onset of preeclampsia, between 1996 and 2002. The population was classified into three groups: Group I had normal uterine artery Doppler findings; Group II had a high uterine artery resistance index; and, Group III had both high uterine artery resistance index and bilateral notches.
Results: Compared to Group I, preeclampsia occurred earlier in Group II (76.3%) (p < 0.001), and HELLP syndrome was most frequent in Group III. The frequency of fetal growth restriction (pound 3(rd) percentile) was different between groups (19.1, 32.4 and 49.7% in groups I, II and III, respectively). The perinatal death rate was significantly higher in group III than the other two groups (12.8% vs 2.9%, p < 0.01).
Conclusions: In patients with preeclampsia, the presence of uterine artery Doppler anomalies (high resistance index with or without bilateral notches) was associated with unfavorable pregnancy outcomes.

Acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have shown certain benefits in assisted in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). In this study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of the combination of acupuncture combined with the Bushen Quyu decoction in patients with failures of IVF-ET. This study was conducted at Shanghai Yangpu District Hospital of TCM from May to November of 2021.

Objective: The primary objective of this study was to identify the risk of metastasis to lymph nodes above the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) in endometrioid-type endometrial cancer (EC) and the factors that influence metastasis.
Methods: The study included patients who had been operated on for endometrioid-type EC in three gynecological oncology centers between 2007 and 2023. The supramesenteric lymph node (SM-LN) is the region between the left renal vein and the IMA, whereas the inframesenteric lymph node (IM-LN) is the region between the IMA and the aortic bifurcation, as determined by the level of the IMA.

Malnutritional stress during gestation is a well-established driver of metabolic disfunction in offspring. Extended exposure to malnutrition requires metabolic plasticity as the animal shifts toward a catabolic state. In this paper we demonstrate the influence of malnutrition throughout gestation on uterine artery hemodynamics and the metabolism of the dam and neonate.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the risk factors for severe postpartum hemorrhage (SPPH) in patients with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) undergoing cesarean delivery, despite the prophylactic use of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA).
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective case-control study on PAS patients who underwent cesarean delivery with prophylactic REBOA at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2017 to December 2021. Prophylactic REBOA placement was determined by a prenatal ultrasound scoring system.
