ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation between serum vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and the fac-tors of depression in patients with primary liver cancer(HCC).Methods The retrospective analysis was about 43 cases of primary liver cancer patients of Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital,from September 2015 to September 2016.The self-rat-ing depression scale was used to evaluate the patients with depression and non-depression group.By ELISA kits,test VEGF levels,analysis of depression,age,gender and serum VEGF concentration.Results The level of VEGF in patients with de-pression was 86.21±19.52 pg/ml,which was significantly higher than that in patients without depression(48.31±9.16 pg/ml)by t test(t=-2.968,P=0.005).The levels of serum VEGF in patients with different gender groups were meas-ured by t test(t=0.079,P=0.938).And the serum levels of VEGF were measured in patients with different age groups by multiple sets of variance analysis(F=0.618,P=0.655).For age and gender,there was no significant difference in serum VEGF level between HCC.Conclusion By HCC,it was related between depression and the level of serum VEGF,and it suggests that serum level of VEGF may become the prognosis of primary liver cancer detection index for these patients.Giv-ing psychological interventions earlier,may improve the prognosis of cancer patients with depression.
