Multi-slice CT Perfusion Study on Angiogenesis in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Induced by Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1? / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the correlation between multi-slice CT perfusion imaging and angiogenesis in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) induced by hypoxia inducible factor-1?(HIF-1?).Methods Multi-slice CT perfusion data were obtained in 34 cases of HCC and 11 cases of hepatic hemangioma identified by operation and pathology.Positive expression of HIF-1? and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) protein of the lesions in all cases and surrounding normal hepatic tissue were investigated with SP immunohistochemistry.Microvessel density(MVD) was determined by anti-CD34 immunostaining.The correlation between multi-slice CT perfusion data and positive expression of HIF-1?,VEGF and CD34 was investigated simultaneously.Results Hepatic arterial perfusion(HAP) and hepatic arterial perfusion index(HAI) in HCC were higher than that of hepatic hemangioma and surrounding normal hepatic tissue(P
