Experimental study of quantitative placental blood flow perfusion in different zone with constrast pulse sequencing / 中华超声影像学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the perfusion parameters in different zone of placenta using CPS,to research placental blood perfusion of different zone. Methods A total of 60 pregnant rats were divided into 3groups, 15 day,17 day and 20 day of gestation with 20 animals in each group,the placenta was divided into the central zone and marginal zone. SonoVue was injected by tail vein of rat using CPS, the time-intensity curves of the central zone and marginal zone were drawn and perfusion paramcters were calculate by software ACQ and Sonoliver. Surface area densities of different zone of placental maternal blood space was measured with histoligical method,and using immunohistochemical marked the placenta vascular. Results Arrivel time(AT) and time-to-peak(TTP) of placenta central zone was earlier than marginal zone,the peak intensity(PI) of the central zone was higher than that of the marginal zone ( P ＜ 0.05). There was significant difference between the central zone and marginal zone of surface area densities of placental maternal blood space ( P ＜0.05). PI of the central zone and marginal zone and the surface area densites of placenta was positively correlated ( P ＜0.05). The placental blood vessels was not expressed by factor Ⅷ.Laminin in the placental basement membrane expression of 20 day of gestation was not continuous or missing. Conclusions The surface area densities of central zone and marginal zone was different. CPS technique can be sensitive to detect changes of the placenta vascular bed in different zone.
