This study was conducted to investigate the effects of the crude extract from Acanthopanax sessiliflorus fruits and the isolated seco-triterpenoids from the crude extract on blood flow in human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) invasion assay and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity assay. On the basis of DMSO, the extent of HUVECs'invasion was remarkably decreased with crude extract concentrations of 400 and 1000 μg/mL. Additionally, the extent of the HUVEC invasion inhibitory effect in 400 and 1000 μg/mL of acanthosessilioside F were 55.8% and 72.4%, respectively. In addition, the maximum extent of the HUVEC invasion inhibitory effect of 22-α-hydroxychiisanoside was 88.9%. The IC50 value of the inhibitory effect on ACE activity in the crude extract was 4 μg/mL. The isolated seco-triterpenoids, 22α-hydroxychiisanogenin, 3,4- seco-lupan-20(30)-en-3,28-dioic acid, (1 R)-1,4-epoxy-11α,22α-hydroxy-3,4- seco-lupan-20(30)-en-3,28-dioicacid, (+)-divaroside, and chiisanosidehad showed very high inhibitory effects on ACE activity, ranging from 1.8 to 2.9 üg/mL, which is much higher than the 150.0 üg/mL effect of aspirin. These results suggest that the crude extract from Acanthopanax sessiliflorus fruits and the isolated seco-triterpenoids from the crude extract enhance the blood flow effect by decreasing ACE activity.

The development of venous circulation in fetoplacental system is one of the least known problems in perinatology. In work by a method of ultrasonic Doppler is investigated the development of blood flow in umbilical vein, v. cava inferior and jugulaar veins of a fetus with 8-th on 40-th week of normally developing pregnancy. It is shown, that the parameters of blood flow in the given vessels depends on gestational age of a fetus, conditions of venous return to heart and functional importance of venous vessel.

The rate of O2 delivery to the pregnant uterus (FaO2) was decreased in chronic sheep preparations by mechanical occlusion of uterine blood flow. The relationship of uterine venous O2 saturation (SVO2) to FaO2 was curvilinear with convexity toward the SVO2 axis. As SVO2 decreased, there was a decrease in uterine and umbilical venous O2 tension (PO2), with no appreciable reduction of the PO2 difference between the two veins and a decrease in the umbilical vein O2 delivery rate. Fetal O2 uptake and base excess remained normal as the umbilical vein O2 delivery rate was reduced from 1.1 to 0.6 mmol . min-1 . kg-1 but decreased markedly at an O2 delivery rate less than 0.5. Umbilical venous CO2 tension (PCO2) was higher than, and strongly correlated with, uterine venous PCO2 (R = 0.954). These observations support a venous equilibration model of ovine placental exchange and demonstrate that under normal physiological conditions the O2 supply to the fetal lamb is approximately twice the value necessary to maintain an adequate fetal O2 uptake and a normal fetal base excess.

Varix of intraabdominal part of fetal umbilical vein is during a prenatal ultrasound scan seen as a hypoechogenic mass between anterior abdominal wall and lower edge of liver, and the diagnosis is confirmed when blood flow is seen during color Doppler examination. A case of prenatal diagnosis of this abnormality is presented, with review of contemporary literature regarding diagnosis and management as well as the outcome of such pregnancies.
