RESUMEN
Fetal movement counting is one of the common methods for fetal prenatal monitoring. The changes of the normal pattern of fetal movements(FM)indicate abnormal fetal status in uterus.Studies have found that reduced fetal movement is the primary sign of fetal distress,which is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes such as stillbirth,placental insufficiency,and fetal growth restriction.Increased fetal movement after 32 week's gestation is regular,but a single episode of vigorous FM increases risk of stillbirth.Clinically,fetal safety is preliminarily evaluated by counting numbers of FM to find abnormalities of fetus early and decrease adverse pregnancy outcomes,which is economical,convenient,and simple.However,this method is subjective,due to the different sensitiveness of pregnant women.
RESUMEN
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays an important role in the periodic changes of the endometrium under physiological conditions. Under the regulation of various cytokines in different phases of the menstrual cycle, VEGF subtypes bind to their respective tyrosine kinase receptors (VEGFR1, VEGFR2, VEGFR3) , Nrp1 and Nrp2 to participate in physiological processes of the endometrium, such as angiogenesis, changes of vascular permeability, proliferation and migration of endothelial cells and non-endothelial cells, etc. This article summarizes the research progress of the function of various VEGF subtypes in the normal periodontal changes of the endometrium.
