Because of the complicacy of the interaction between the nucleon-nucleon for high density matters, up to now the equation of state (EOS) of the unsymmetrical high-density nuclear matter is still uncertain. In order to investigate the imprint on the global properties by some special part of the EOS, we designedly modify part of the EOS and explore the corresponding effect on the stellar properties, especially on the radius of the typical neutron star (1.4 M_⊙) and the maximum stellar mass of the neutron star sequence for a given EOS. It is further proved by our calculation that the EOS around 2 times of the saturation nuclear density has an obvious imprint on the stellar radius of a typical neutron star. In addition, we also investigate the dependence of the mass-radius curve and its slope (dM/dR) on the EOS. It is found that the slope (dM/dR) is mainly determined by the EOS above the saturation nuclear density. In fact, the investigations above will provide some useful theoretical reference. This is expected to conversely constrain the EOS of dense matter by using the future astronomic observation data of neutron star.
