DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction, and preterm birth, continue to be significant sources of perinatal morbidity and mortality, as well as adult diseases with fetal origin. Currently, there is an urgent need to develop a clinically useful and accurate early predictor of these adverse outcomes so that clinical care can be optimized. Furthermore, the success of future investigative efforts exploring therapies aimed at preventing these adverse outcomes is largely dependent on the early identification of those pregnancies at greatest risk. Abnormalities in trophoblastic invasion and early placental development have been implicated in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction, spontaneous preterm birth and stillbirth. Moreover, as trophoblastic invasion is largely completed by the end of the first trimester, ultrasound-based biomarkers of early placental development are appealing candidates for predictors of adverse outcomes. Until recently, research in this area has been relegated to indirect measures of early placental development, such as uterine artery Doppler. However, recent advances in 3-dimensional sonography have allowed investigators to assess early gross placental development in a more direct manner. We have recently proposed a placental morphology index (PMI) which considers fetal size, placental volume and mean placental diameter as a means of discriminating between various components of gross placental morphology. In fact, our pilot data support PMI measured at 11-14 weeks as a significant predictor of adverse pregnancy outcomes. In this research proposal, we aim to examine the utility of our novel sonographic placental measures in the prediction of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Furthermore, to supplement our 3- dimensional sonographic measures while remaining consistent with our placenta-specific approach, we will examine the utility of combining our gross placental measures with promising serum biomarkers of placental development. Two such promising analytes, placental growth factor and placenta protein 13, are specifically expressed by the placenta and play critical roles in early placental development. Moreover, they have shown significant predictive value for the occurrence of adverse pregnancy outcomes, even as early as the first trimester. Thus, it is our hypothesis that the combination of our 3-dimensional measures of gross placental development with placental analytes known to be indicators of trophoblastic invasion can yield an early 'placental profile' that can identify pregnancies at greatest risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes long before the clinical manifestations arise. In this research endeavor, we will obtain 3-dimensional ultrasound volume sets of the placenta at 11-14 weeks, as well as a maternal serum sample, as part of a prospective cohort study aimed at developing an early screening test for the prediction of adverse pregnancy outcomes.

描述（由申请人提供）：不良妊娠结局，如先兆子痫、胎儿生长受限和早产，仍然是围产期发病率和死亡率以及胎儿起源的成人疾病的重要来源。目前，有紧急情况 需要开发一种临床上有用且准确的这些不良结果的早期预测因子，以便优化临床护理。此外，未来探索旨在预防这些不良后果的治疗方法的研究工作的成功很大程度上取决于对那些风险最大的妊娠的早期识别。滋养层细胞侵袭异常 早期胎盘发育与先兆子痫、胎儿生长受限、自发性早产和死产的发病机制有关。此外，由于滋养层侵袭在妊娠前三个月末基本完成，因此胎盘早期发育的基于超声的生物标志物是不良结果预测因子的有吸引力的候选者。直到最近，该领域的研究还停留在早期胎盘发育的间接测量上，例如子宫动脉多普勒。然而，三维超声检查的最新进展使研究人员能够以更直接的方式评估早期胎盘的总体发育。我们最近提出了胎盘形态指数（PMI），它将胎儿大小、胎盘体积和平均胎盘直径作为区分总胎盘形态各个组成部分的手段。事实上，我们的试点数据支持 11-14 周时测量的 PMI 是不良妊娠结局的重要预测指标。在这项研究提案中，我们的目的是检验我们的新型超声胎盘测量方法在预测不良妊娠结局中的效用。此外，为了补充我们的 3 维超声测量，同时与我们的胎盘特异性方法保持一致，我们将检查将我们的总胎盘测量与有前途的胎盘发育血清生物标志物相结合的效用。胎盘生长因子和胎盘蛋白 13 是两种有前景的分析物，它们由胎盘特异性表达，在胎盘早期发育中发挥着关键作用。此外，它们对不良妊娠结局的发生显示出显着的预测价值，甚至早在妊娠早期也是如此。因此，我们的假设是，将总胎盘发育的 3 维测量与已知为滋养层侵袭指标的胎盘分析物相结合，可以产生早期“胎盘概况”，从而可以在很早之前识别出不良妊娠结局风险最大的妊娠。出现临床表现。在这项研究工作中，我们将获得 11-14 周胎盘的 3 维超声体积集以及母体血清样本，作为前瞻性队列研究的一部分，旨在开发早期筛查测试来预测不良反应。妊娠结果。
