Abstract:
Objective To analyze the prognostic value of vascular endothelial growth factor in acute leukemia .Methods 73 pa-tients with acute leukemia as the leukemia group and 80 patients as the control group were selected .The serum and bone marrow tissue taken by puncture biopsy of posterior superior iliac spine of the leukemia group were collected The serum of the control group was collected and compared .The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor was detected by immunohistochemistry .Results The acute leukemia patients with positive and negative serum VEGF or with positive and negative bone marrow VEGF were fol-lowed .The positive expression of serum VEGF was found in 19 recurrent cases of acute myeloid leukemia (57 .58% ) and the nega-tive expression of serum VEGF was found in 1 recurrent cases (20 .00% ) .The recurrence rate in patients with positive serum VEGF was higher than that in patients with negative serum VEGF ,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05);the positive expression of serum VEGF was found in 16 recurrent cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (51 .62% );the positive expres-sion of bone marrow VEGF was found in 17 recurrent cases of acute myeloid leukemia and 17 recurrent cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia respectively (48 .57% ) .The serum VEGF level and the bone marrow VEGF were measured on follow-up one year after treatment ,which showed the levels of recurrent cases of acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia were all higher than those of Remission patients ,and the difference was statistically significant (P< 0 .01) .Conclusion The levels of VEGF in blood and bone marrow cells can be highly expressed in the initial treatment and recurrence of acute leukemia ,especially in the re-lapsed condition ,the expression level is higher ,but the expression level is significantly decreased in the remission state .Increased expression of VEGF in blood and bone marrow cells may help to predict an increased risk of recurrence .
