The present invention relates to neurological and physiological dysfunction associated with neuron disorders. In (particular, the invention relates to the involvement of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and homologues in the aetiology of motor neuron disorders. The invention further concerns a novel, mutant transgenic mouse (VEGFm/m) with a homozygous deletion in the hypoxia responsive element (HRE) of the VEGF promoter which alters the hypoxic upregulation of VEGF. These mice suffer severe adult onset muscle weakness due to progressive spinal motor neuron degeneration which is reminiscent of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-a fatal disorder with unknown aetiology. Furthermore, the neuropathy of these mice is not caused by vascular defects, but is due to defective VEGF-mediated survival signals to motor neurons. The present invention relates in particular to the isoform VEGF165 which stimulates survival of motor neurons via binding to neuropilin-1, a receptor known to bind semaphorin-3A which is implicated in axon retraction and neuronal death, and the VEGF Receptor-2. The present invention thus relates to the usage of VEGF, in particular VEGF165, for the treatment of neuron disorders and relates, in addition, to the usage of polymorphisms in the VEGF promotor for diagnosing the latter disorders.

The invention provides a liposome gel preparation for treating hypertrophic scars. The liposome gel preparation comprises liposome, gel material and glycerol, wherein the liposome is encapsulated with paeonol, and the surface of the liposome is bonded with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibodies through polyethylene glycol. The invention provides a preparation method and application of the gel preparation at the same time. The gel preparation is encapsulated by using a material such as phospholipid with good physiological compatibility with the human body, so that the problems of poor water solubility and low stability of the paeonol are effectively solved. The VEGF antibodies are used for modifying the surface of the liposome, lipid particles enter the dermis through the epidermis by using the permeation promoting effect of liposome carriers and are directionally bonded with VEGF receptors of the pathological change skin part, and the encapsulated medicament is released at the same time, so that positioned retention of the medicament in the scar hyperplasia part is realized. Compared with other reported scar hyperplasia resistant medicament preparations or treatment schemes, the invention has the advantages that the liposome gel preparation is low in relapse rate, reduces the occurrence rate of the toxic or side effect and can be applied to any scar hyperplasia part of the body.
