The expression of bFGF and FGFR-1 was detected by antibody of bFGF or FGFR-1. The tumors’ angiogenesis was evaluated by microvascular density (MVD) and, which was observed by use of CD34-antibody immunohistochemically. The results showed that there were varied degrees of the expression of bFGF and FGFR-1 proteins in meningiomas. The expression was correlated with the tumors’ histological characters and angiogenesis. It was concluded that bFGF and FGFR-1 might play important roles in meningiomas’ angiogenesis and proliferation. The expression positive rate of bFGF and FGFR-1 may provide an indication of evaluating the histological and malignant degree of the tumor.展开更多
