The utero-placental circulation, eugenics and the prevention and treatment of high risk pregnancies

Abstract

Through systematic experimental and clinical studies, the physiological regulation of utero-placental circulation and the relation of the disturbance in this acirculation to pathogenic mechanisms of high risk pregnancies-Intrauterine Growth Retardation (IUGR) and Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) were explored. The pharmacological effects and mechanism of a Chinese herbal medicine — Qingxintong in improving the uteroplacental circulation and the therapeutic efficacy in treatment of IUGR and PIH, both accompanied by disturbance of utero-placental circulation, were investigated as well.
