Serum VEGF level of the patients with hemangioma before and after Xiaozhiling injection / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe the effects of Xiaozhiling on the serum vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) level of the patients with hemangioma.Methods:10 healthy subjects (control group) and 10 hemangioma patients (treatment group) were included.The serum VEGF level were evaluated by ELISA in both groups.The treatment group was injected with Xiaozhiling once.VEGF level of the treatment group were measured before, one week after and one month(only 8 patients) after Xiaozhiling injection.Results:The serum VEGF concentrations (pg/ml) of the healty subjects, hemangioma patients without treatment, the patients 1 week after injection of Xiaozhiling and those 1 month after injection were 97.3?15.1,799.3?84.1,828.1?68.8 and 105.6?13.5 respectively. 1 week after injection tumor volume decreased by more than 25% in all the 10 patients.Conclusions:In situ injection of Xiaozhi ling may be a method for the treatment of hemangioma.
