Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the feasibility of contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in gallbladder carcinoma anti-angiogenesis treatment.Methods Subcutaneous gallbladder carcinoma model was consturcted.The mice were divided into intervention-drug group and control group randomly.The mice of intervention-drug group were treated with Endostar (10 mg · kg-1 · d-1) by intraperitoneal injection for two weeks.Two groups of mice were detected by CEUS,then the time of arrival (AT),peak time (TTP),peak intensity (PI),area under the curve (AUC) were measured via time-intensity curve.Expression of MVD and VEGF both in the intervention and control groups were studied through immunohistochemistry.and the correlations between MVD,VEGF and CEUS parameteres were further analyzed.Results The mean values of PI in drug intervention group and control group were 10.8 ± 5.5 and 16.8 ± 5.8,respectively.The values of PI in intervention-drug group were lower than that in control group significantly (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in AT,TTP,AUC between the two groups.The mean values of MVD on drug intervention group and control group were 8.5 ± 3.8 and 13.1 ± 3.5,respectively.The mean values of VEGF on drug intervention group and control group were 4.3 ± 0.5 and 4.7 ± 0.4,respectively.The values of MVD and VEGF in intervention-drug group were significant lower than that control group (P ＜ 0.05).MVD and VEGF values of intervention-drug group were correlated with PI (r =0.712,P ＜ 0.05;r =0.739,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Endostar can inhibit the growth of gallbladder carcinoma and PI can be used as an effective marker to evaluatethe effect of anti-angiogenic therapy in gallbladder carcinoma.
