OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of salvia injection (SI) combined with composite amino acid (CAA) in treating fetal growth restriction (FGR). METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 106 pregnant women with FGR hospitalized from January 2007 to January 2008. Patients were randomized into 2 groups equally, the treated group (53 cases) treated with SI plus CAA, and the control group treated with CAA alone, all for 7 days. The clinical effect and umbilical blood flow (S/D) in patients were observed. RESULTS: (1) The total effective rate in the treated group was 81.13%, it was 88.80% (16/18) for patients in the gestation period of 24+ -28 weeks, 80.00% (12/15) for those of 28+ -32 weeks, and 75.00 (15/20) for 32+ -36 weeks, while in the control group, the corresponding rates were 69.81%, 77.77% (14/18), 66.66% (10/15), and 65.00% (13/20), respectively. The difference between the two groups was significant (P < 0.05). (2) After treatment, S/D significantly lowered in patients of the treated group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), no matter how long the gestation period was, but it was insignificantly changed in the control group. CONCLUSION: The combined treatment with SI and CAA on FGR could improve the condition of the fetus.
