Abstract: Disclosed is a method for detecting differentially methylated CpG islands associated with an abnormal state of a human body, characterized by detecting very minute amounts of methylated CpG short tandem nucleic acid sequences in highly fragmented DNA samples with genome scale, identifying differentially methylated CpG islands associated with abnormal state of human body and determining the corresponding abnormal state of human body. Sequencing libraries are constructed by using CpG short tandem sequences as primers to perform three steps of PCR reactions on DNAs which are conversed by nodifiers, and detections of very minute amounts of methylated CpG short tandem nucleic acid sequences are implemented with high throughput sequencing technology. A group of genome sequences and methylation patterns of differentially methylated CpG islands which are associated with hepatocellular carcinoma are also disclosed; they may be used for distinguishing between hepatacellular carcinoma and non-cancerous state.

Abstract: Disclosed is the use of the compounds represented by formula (I) in the preparation of a medicament against tumor angiogenesis, wherein R1 and R2 are each independently C1-C8 alkylidene group or C2-C8 alkenylidene group; A1 and A2 are each independently aryl, isoaryl, or aryl or isoaryl optionally substituted by halogen, —CN, —NO2, —OH, —SH, —OR3, —SR3, —R3, —R3—OR4, —C(O)R3, —S(O)R3, —S(O)2R3, —NR4R5, —C(O)OR3, —C(O)NR4R5, —O(O)CR4, —S(O)CR4 or —NR4(O)CR5, wherein R3 is C1-C4 alkyl, R4 and R5 are each independently hydrogen, C1-C4 alkyl, aryl or substituted aryl; and X and Y are each independently oxygen; and the compound of formula (I) does not include phenethyl caffeate.
