Determination of VEGF mRNA expression and immunohistochemistry. (a) VEGF mRNA expression and corresponding VEGF immunohistochemistry results (positive and negative) and vessel density (number/0.13 mm2, H ≥ 40, L < 40). (b) The VEGF165/β-actin ratio was significantly higher in VEGF-positive group than the VEGF-negative group (P < 0.05). (c) The VEGF121/β-actin ratio was significantly higher in the VEGF-positive group than the VEGF-negative group (P < 0.05). (d) The correlation between VEGF165/β-actin ratio and vessel density was not significant (r = 0.22). (e) Correlation between VEGF121/β-actin ratio and vessel density is not significant (r = 0.169). (f) Correlation between VEGF165/β-actin ratio and vessel diameter is not significant (r = 0.143). (g) Correlation between VEGF121/β-actin ratio and vessel density is not significant (r = 0.175).
