血管生成及其成熟度在肝细胞癌边缘与中心的差异研究

目的:探讨肝细胞癌 (hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC) 边缘和中心血管生成及其成熟度的差异.方法:利用免疫组织化学技术检测病灶边缘(A组)和中心区域组织(B组)血管内皮生长因子(vascular endothelial growth factor, VEGF)、Flk-1、增殖细胞核抗原(proliferating cell nuclear antigen, PCNA)的表达情况,并对微血管和成熟血管的数目、平均面积、总面积、周长、直径、异型指数、血管间距、表达部位,以及动脉数、静脉数、动脉比、静脉比、血管成熟指数和平均灌注分数等进行计数.分析以上血管生成相关参数在肿瘤边缘和中心的差异.结果:两组微血管的数目、直径及异型指数,成熟血管的数目、总面积、动脉数、动脉比及静脉比,血管成熟指数及平均灌注分数差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05).A组微血管和成熟血管的数目、平均面积、总面积、直径、异型指数及血管间距差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05).而B组微血管和成熟血管的数目、总面积、异型指数及血管间距差异也均有统计学意义(P<0.05) ,但平均面积、周长和直径比较差异无统计学意义 (P>0.05).结论:HCC边缘和中心的微血管和成熟血管的多个形态学特征存在差异,病灶中心血管多为幼稚的微血管,边缘则以成熟血管居多.

Differences in angiogenesis and its maturation of hepatocellular carcinoma between in tumor periphery and in center

Objective:To study the differences in angiogenesis and its maturation between the periphery and center. of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods:Thirty-one cases proved surgically and pathologically were selected. After surgery, two sections were gotten from the tumor periphery and center. Continuous slices were stained with immunohistochemistry of five antibodies against VEGF, Flk-1, PCNA.The expressions of VEGF,Flk-1, and PCNA, and some vascular parameters were counted including the number, mean area, t...
