ABSTRACT
Objective@#To study the hemodynamic changes of fetal umbilical artery (UA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) and its influence on fetal outcome using color Doppler ultrasound.@*Methods@#Fifty pregnant women who underwent color Doppler ultrasound examination in Zhejiang Xin'an International Hospital from June to December 2018 with normal prenatal examination were selected as control group, and 80 pregnant women with oligohydramnios during the same period of pregnancy were selected as observation group. Color Doppler ultrasound examination was performed on both groups of pregnant women. The results of color Doppler ultrasound examination were compared between the two groups of pregnant women, and the fetal prognosis was followed up.@*Results@#Compared with the control group, the peak systolic velocity/end diastolic velocity (S/D), resistance index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI) values of UA in the observation group were significantly increased, while the S/D, RI and PI values of MCA were significantly decreased, and there were significant differences (P < 0.05). In addition, UA of 34 cases (42.5%) in observation group had S/D ≥ 3, which was much higher than that of 8 cases (16.0%) in control group, and there was significant difference (P < 0.05). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The incidence of fetal distress, intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and Apgar < 4 points in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group [26.2%(21/80) vs. 12.0%(6/50), 15.0%(12/80) vs. 2.0%(1/50), 7.5% (6/80) vs. 0], and the difference were statistically significant (P < 0.05).@*Conclusions@#Prenatal color Doppler ultrasound can accurately detect the hemodynamic indexes of UA and MCA, predict the fetal intrauterine development, evaluate the fetal outcome, and provide scientific basis for clinical diagnosis.

In addition, UA of 34 cases (42.5%) in observation group had S/D≥3, which was much higher than that of 8 cases (16.0% ) in control group, and there was significant difference (P < 0.05). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The incidence of fetal distress, intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and Apgar < 4 points in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group [26.2%(21/80) vs. 12.0%(6/50), 15.0%(12/80) vs. 2.0%(1/50), 7.5% (6/80) vs. 0], and the difference were statistically significant (P < 0.05).

ABSTRACT
Objective:To promote the hearing, improve the appearance, shorten the therapeutic course in congenital malformation of external and middle ear,the program of primary restoration has been designed. Method:Under general or local anaesthesia a Z-shaped incision is made in skin. After turn up the flap A(defective ear)and flap B(retroauricular skin), a periosteal flap C with pedicle in front is made and elevated from mastoid.Then made frameworklize on mastoid and perform tympanoplasty. Once the myringograft is put properly the flap C is turn into the mastoidal cavity to serve as the lining of anterior wall. Flap A is sutured with the edge of retroauricular incision to serve as the lower part of new auricle. Then use the flap B to wrap a siliceous frame to make the upper part of new auricle.Finally,the naked walls of mastoidal cavity are lined with free skin graft and the cavity is packed with vaseline gauze for two weeks. Result:Two cases of congenital malformation of external and middle ear were treated with the procedure mentioned above and were followed up for one and 3 years respectively. Both effects of shape and hearing were good.Conclusion:The primary restoration for congenital malformation of external and middle ear designed by the authors is an excellent method worthy to be recommended.
