Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the relationship of expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and clinical features in patients with intracranial aneurysm and arteriovenous malformation (AVM).Methods:A total of 64 patients with AVM and intracranial aneurysm,who were treated in First Hospital of Shijiazhuang from February 2011 to November 2015,were chosen as research subjects,AVM were 32 cases and intracranial aneurysm were 32 cases.The samples were sectioned for VEGF immunohistochemical staining;the location and intensity of staining were recorded;the positive indexes were computed.The VEGF expression of different age and Hunt&Hess classification in patients with intracranial aneurysms were analysed;the VEGF expression of different diameters,ages,Spetzler classification in patients with AVM were analysed.Results:There were no statistical differences in the VEGF expression of different ages in patients with intracranial aneurysms (P＞0.05);the VEGF expression of different Hunt&Hess classification in patients with intracranial aneurysms was statistical difference (P＜0.05).The positive rate of VEGF in the artery of AVM was lower than that in the vein,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).There were no statistical differences in the VEGF expression of the different Spetzler classification,different diameters and different ages in patients with AVM (P＞0.05).Conclusion:The expression of VEGF in the vein and the artery of patients with AVM is different,the expression of VEGF is not correlated with the age of intracranial aneurysm and the size and age of AVM.VEGF cannot be used as a predictor in the patients with intracranial aneurysms and AVM.
