TABLE 4.

Comparison of the bFGF and VEGF before and after treatment between the two groups.

The serological indicators	TACE (n = 51)		TACE-LEN (n = 53)
The serological indicators	Before treatment	After treatment	Before treatment	After treatment
bFGF (pg/ml)	8.56 ± 0.81	8.98 ± 0.35	8.32 ± 0.85^&	5.12 ± 0.55^*#
VEGF (pg/ml)	287.74 ± 28.85	325.41 ± 24.69	279.31 ± 29.03^&	275.12 ± 27.69^*#

Note: &Compared with control group before treatment, p > 0.05; *Compared with the same group before treatment, p < 0.05; #Compared with the control group 8 weeks after treatment, p < 0.05.

bFGF: basic fibroblast growth factor. VEGF: vascular endothelial growth factor.
