Objective:To evaluate the role of small ubiquitin-associated modifier (SUMO) E3 ligase (PIAS)-regulated SUMOylation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) in the endogenous protective mechanism against endotoxin-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice.Methods:Experiment Ⅰ Twenty-four clean-grade wild type male C57BL/6 mice, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 18-22 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=6 each) using a random number table method: control group (C group), ALI group, ALI+ PPARγ inducer TZD group (ALI+ T group) and ALI+ TZD+ SUMOylation inhibitor anacardic acid group (ALI+ T+ A group). Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) 15 mg/kg was injected into the tail vein to develop the ALI model. In ALI+ T+ A group, anacardic acid 5 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 1 h before LPS administration. In ALI+ T group and ALI+ T+ A group, TZD 50 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 30 min before LPS administration. The mice were sacrificed at 12 h after LPS administration, and the lung tissues were obtained to examine the pathological changes which were scored and to determine the wet/dry (W/D) weight ratio, and expression of PIAS1, PIAS2, PIAS3 and PIASy protein and mRNA (by Western blot or polymerase chain reaction). Experiment Ⅱ Mouse alveolar macrophages (MH-S cells) were cultured in vitro and divided into 4 groups ( n=5 each) using a random number table method: control group (C group), LPS group, LPS+ PIAS2 siRNA group (L+ P group) and LPS+ Con siRNA group (L+ C group). Cells were routinely cultured in group C. Cells were stimulated with 10 μg/ml LPS to develop the model of endotoxin challenge. PIAS2 siRNA 50 nmol/L and Con siRNA 50 nmol/L were transfected at 48 h before LPS was added in L+ P group and L+ C group, respectively. The cells were collected at 24 h of incubation with LPS to determine the cell viability, levels of M1 and M2 alveolar macrophages (by flow cytometry), expression of PIAS2 and PPARγ (by Western blot), co-expression of PPARγ-SUMO1 (by immunoprecipitation) and expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) mRNA (by polymerase chain reaction). The ratio of M1/M2 was calculated. Results:Experiment Ⅰ Compared with C group, the lung injury scores and W/D ratio were significantly increased, and the expression of PIAS2 protein and mRNA was up-regulated in the other three groups ( P<0.05). Compared with ALI group, the lung injury scores and W/D ratio were significantly decreased, and the expression of PIAS2 protein and mRNA was up-regulated in ALI+ T group and ALI+ T+ A group ( P<0.05). Compared with ALI+ T group, the lung injury scores and W/D ratio were significantly increased, and the expression of PIAS2 protein and mRNA was down-regulated in ALI+ T+ A group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the expression of PIAS1, PIAS3 and PIASy protein and mRNA in lung tissues among the four groups ( P>0.05). Experiment Ⅱ Compared with C group, the cell viability was significantly decreased, the expression of PPARγ and co-expression of PPARγ-SUMO1 was up-regulated, the levels of M1 and M2 macrophages and M1/M2 ratio were increased, the expression of TNF-α mRNA was up-regulated, and the expression of IL-10 mRNA was down-regulated in the other three groups, and PIAS2 expression was significantly up-regulated in L group and L+ C group ( P<0.05). Compared with L group, the cell viability was significantly decreased, the expression of PIAS2 and PPARγ and PPARγ-SUMO1 co-expression were down-regulated, the M1 macrophage level and M1/M2 ratio were increased, TNF-α mRNA expression was up-regulated, and the expression of IL-10 mRNA was down-regulated in L+ P group ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in L+ C group ( P>0.05). Compared with L+ C group, the cell viability was significantly decreased, the expression of PIAS2 and PPARγ and co-expression of PPARγ-SUMO1 were down-regulated, the level of M1 alveolar macrophages and M1/M2 ratio were increased, the expression of TNF-α mRNA was down-regulated, and the expression of IL-10 mRNA was up-regulated in L+ P group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:PIAS2-regulated SUMOylation of PPARγ is the endogenous protective mechanism against endotoxin-induced ALI in mice, which may be related to inhibition of macrophage polarization into M1 type and alleviation of inflammatory responses.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and factors influencing the prognosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in oral and maxillofacial regions.@*METHODS@#Clinicopathological data of 369 patients with oral and maxillofacial NHL initially diagnosed in Peking University Hospital of Stomatology from 2008 to 2020 were collected and analyzed retrospectively.@*RESULTS@#There were 180 males and 189 females. The median age of the patients was 56 years (3 months to 92 years), and the median duration was three months. Clinically, 283 cases manifested as mass, 38 cases as ulcerative necrotizing lesions, and 48 cases as diffuse soft tissue swelling. The lesions of 90 cases located in face and neck (75 cases neck, 20.3%), 99 cases were of major salivary glands (79 cases parotid glands, 20.9%), 103 cases of oral cavity, 50 cases of maxillofacial bones, 20 cases of Waldeyer's ring, and 7 cases of infratemporal fossa. In the study, 247 of the 369 patients had cervical lymphadenopathy, only 40 cases had B symptoms, and 23 cases had the bulky disease. Of the 369 NHLs, 299 (81%) were B-cell NHL, and 70(19%) were T-cell NHL. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, follicular lymphoma, and extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma nasal type were the most common pathological subtypes. According to Ann Arbor staging, 87, 138, 106, and 38 cases were classified as staged Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, respectively. The me-dian follow-up time was 48 months, 164 patients died during the follow-up period. The overall survival rates for one year, two years, and five years were 90.1%, 82.4%, and 59.9%, respectively, and the median survival was (86.00±7.98) months. Multivariate analysis showed that age (P < 0.001), Ann Arbor staging (P < 0.001), elevated lactate dehydrogenase (P=0.014), and pathological subtype (P=0.049) were the independent factors influencing the overall survival rate of NHL patients.@*CONCLUSION@#Oral and maxillofacial NHL has unique clinical characteristics and distribution patterns of pathological subtypes. Fewer patients had systemic symptoms. Neck and parotid glands were the most common sites invaded by NHL. Advanced age, Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, B symptoms, and T-cell NHL may predict a poor prognosis in oral and maxillofacial NHL patients.

The aim of the present study was to explore the specific pattern of brain deactivation elicited by painful stimuli, in contrast with that elicited by tactile stimuli. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data were collected from 62 healthy subjects under painful and tactile stimuli with varying intensities. The brain deactivations under different conditions were identified using the general linear model. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to test whether there was a significant interaction between perceived stimulus intensity (factor 1: high intensity, low intensity) and stimulus modality (factor 2: pain, touch) on the brain deactivations. The results showed that there were significant interactions between stimulus intensity and stimulus modality on the deactivations of left medial superior frontal gyrus, left middle occipital gyrus, left superior frontal gyrus and right middle occipital gyrus (P < 0.05, Cluster-level FWE). The deactivations induced by painful stimuli with low perceived intensity (β = -3.38 ± 0.52) were significantly stronger than those induced by painful stimuli with high perceived intensity (β = -1.22 ± 0.54) (P < 0.001), whereas the differences between the deactivations induced by tactile stimuli with different perceived intensities were not statistically significant. In addition, there were no significant differences between the deactivations elicited by painful and tactile stimuli with the same stimulus intensities. These results suggest that there is a specific relationship between the deactivations induced by painful stimuli in multiple brain regions (such as the left medial superior frontal gyrus) and the stimulus intensity, providing evidence for a deeper understanding of the brain mechanisms underlying pain perception.

Objective:To analyze the advantages of the impact of physical activity management under medical supervision on body components and healthy physical fitness.Methods:A total of 106 healthy adults who participated in physical activity management activities in the Health Management Center of Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences & Sichuan Provincial People′s Hospital from April 1 st 2020 to May 31 th 2021 were enrolled. The subjects were equally divided into a medical supervision group and a self-supervision group with random number table. Both groups performed a 8-week physical activity intervention, followed by the model of “a combination of online home physical activity with offline team exercise, and team exercise interaction with individual physical activity guidance”, while health education was provided and wearable devices were worn to collect exercise data. The medical supervision group completed the set number of exercises under the supervision of the team, with on-site exercise guidance. They were required to participate in weekly one-to-one on-site instruction. The self-management group carried out exercises and participated in weekly one-to-one instruction in accordance according to their own will with online feedback. During the study, 6 cases withdrew, and 52 cases in the supervision group and 48 in the self-management group were obtained. The t and Wilcoxon tests were used to compare the body components and physical fitness of the two groups before and after intervention. Results:The amount of exercise in the supervision group was significantly higher than that in self-management group (1 359 vs 615), and there was no significant differences in exercise intensity (mean heart rate, maximum heart rate and exercise duration) between the two groups (all P>0.05). After the intervention, the body weight, body mass index (BMI), percent body fat, subcutaneous fat area and strength fitness of the supervision group were significantly lower than those before the intervention [(55.36±6.37) vs (56.11±6.33) kg, (21.48±2.85) vs (21.73±2.47) kg/m 2, (27.38±5.34) % vs (28.53±4.99) %, (119.56±48.45) vs (128.70±50.10) cm 2, (24.48±6.37) vs (26.07±5.29) kg], while the cardiorespiratory endurance, flexibility fitness and agility fitness were significantly higher [(33.57±5.06) vs (30.32±4.59) ml·kg -1·min -1, (14.71±7.51) vs (10.54±7.54) cm, (0.44±0.08) vs (0.48±0.05) s] (all P<0.05). After the intervention, the body weight, muscle mass and lean body mass in self-management group were all significantly higher than those before the intervention [(56.83±8.09) vs (56.45±8.22) kg, (38.28±3.19) vs (38.24±5.17) kg; (40.80±4.16) vs (40.32±4.95) kg], and agility fitness was significantly lower [(0.64±0.39) vs (0.49±0.05) s] (all P<0.05). It was also found that improvements regarding the following three indicators were more significant in the supervision group: visceral fat, balance and agility fitness (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Physical activity intervention under medical supervision can significantly improve the body components and physical fitness in healthy adults, as well as exercise compliance and validity.

BACKGROUND@#The neoadjuvant chemotherapy is increasingly used in advanced gastric cancer, but the effects on safety and survival are still controversial. The objective of this meta-analysis was to compare the overall survival and short-term surgical outcomes between neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery (NACS) and surgery alone (SA) for locally advanced gastric cancer.@*METHODS@#Databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar) were explored for relative studies from January 2000 to January 2021. The quality of randomized controlled trials and cohort studies was evaluated using the modified Jadad scoring system and the Newcastle-Ottawa scale, respectively. The Review Manager software (version 5.3) was used to perform this meta-analysis. The overall survival was evaluated as the primary outcome, while perioperative indicators and post-operative complications were evaluated as the secondary outcomes.@*RESULTS@#Twenty studies, including 1420 NACS cases and 1942 SA cases, were enrolled. The results showed that there were no significant differences in overall survival (P = 0.240), harvested lymph nodes (P = 0.200), total complications (P = 0.080), and 30-day post-operative mortality (P = 0.490) between the NACS and SA groups. However, the NACS group was associated with a longer operation time (P < 0.0001), a higher R0 resection rate (P = 0.003), less reoperation (P = 0.030), and less anastomotic leakage (P = 0.007) compared with SA group.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Compared with SA, NACS was considered safe and feasible for improved R0 resection rate as well as decreased reoperation and anastomotic leakage. While unbenefited overall survival indicated a less important effect of NACS on long-term oncological outcomes.

Objective:To investigate whether anxiety state and anxiety trait modulate specifically pain-induced brain responses by comparing the brain activations induced by painful stimulation and those by tactile stimulation in college students with different levels of anxiety state or anxiety trait.Methods:From April 2017 to September 2017, sixty-two college students were tested in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital.Each subject’s anxiety trait and anxiety state were assessed by the state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI) prior to the fMRI experiment.During the fMRI experiment, each subject received painful and tactile stimuli.Their brain responses to each stimulus were collected by the MRI scanner, and the perceived intensity rating of each stimulus was collected using the visual analogue scale (VAS). The pain and tactile brain activation values of subjects with different state anxiety levels and different trait anxiety levels were compared.The fMRI brain activation was detected using general linear model.For each type of anxiety (state or trait), two-way ANOVA was performed to detect the interaction between anxiety level and stimulus modality on brain responses and two-sample t-tests were performed to analyze the specific form of interaction in each brain region. Results:There were interactions between state anxiety and stimulation modality on the activation intensity of bilateral posterior parietal lobe, dorsolateral prefrontal lobe and other brain regions( P<0.05, cluster-level FWE corrected) .The brain responses to tactile stimuli (5.66±0.65) in these areas were significantly stronger than those to painful stimuli (1.24±0.55) in the group of middle-level anxiety state ( P<0.001), but no significant difference was found in the other two groups (both P>0.05). For anxiety trait, a few brain areas in bilateral occipital cortex showed significant interactions between anxiety level and stimulus modality.The brain responses to tactile stimuli (8.38±1.00) in these areas were significantly stronger than those to painful stimuli (3.19±1.12) in the group of high-level anxiety trait ( P=0.001), but no significant difference was found in the other two groups (both P>0.05). Conclusion:The modulatory effects of anxiety (both state and trait) on brain responses are different between painful and tactile conditions.It provides important evidence for unveiling the brain mechanisms of the specific modulation of anxiety on pain, and suggests that patients' anxiety trait and anxiety state should be considered during clinical treatment of pain.

BACKGROUND@#Extralevator abdominoperineal excision (ELAPE) has become a popular procedure for low rectal cancer as compared with abdominoperineal excision (APE). No definitive answer has been achieved whether one is superior to the other. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ELAPE for low rectal cancer with meta-analysis.@*METHODS@#The Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, and PubMed databases before September 2019 were comprehensively searched to retrieve comparative trials of ELAPE and APE for low rectal cancer. Pooled analyses of the perioperative variables, surgical complications, and oncological variables were performed. Odds ratio (OR) and mean differences (MD) from each trial were pooled using random or fixed effects model depending on the heterogeneity of the included studies. A subgroup analysis or a sensitivity analysis was conducted to explore the potential source of heterogeneity when necessary.@*RESULTS@#This meta-analysis included 17 studies with 4049 patients, of whom 2248 (55.5%) underwent ELAPE and 1801 (44.5%) underwent APE. There were no statistical differences regarding the circumferential resection margin positivity (13.0% vs. 16.2%, OR = 0.69, 95% CI = 0.42-1.14, P = 0.15) and post-operative perineal wound complication rate (28.9% vs. 24.1%, OR = 1.21, 95% CI = 0.75-1.94, P = 0.43). The ELAPE was associated with lower rate of intraoperative perforation (6.6% vs. 11.3%, OR = 0.50, 95% CI = 0.39-0.64, P < 0.001) and local recurrence (8.8% vs. 20.5%, OR = 0.29, 95% CI = 0.21-0.41, P < 0.001) when compared with APE.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The ELAPE was associated with a reduction in the rate of intra-operative perforation and local recurrence, without any increase in the circumferential resection margin positivity and post-operative perineal wound complication rate when compared with APE in the surgical treatment of low rectal cancer.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors in lymphoma of parotid origin.@*METHODS@#Clinicopathological data of the patients with parotid lymphoma who were initially diagnosed in Peking University Hospital of Stomatology from 2006 to 2016 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. The patients were followed-up for 5 to 149 months with a median period of 45 months, and the factors influencing the prognosis were evaluated.@*RESULTS@#A total of 41 patients with primary parotid lymphoma were included in this retrospective study. The rate of male to female was 1:2.15. The median age was 57 years (ranging from 8 months to 91 years). According to WHO classification, 40 cases (97.1%) were diagnosed as non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), including 15 cases of extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), 14 cases of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) as well as 4 cases of follicular lymphoma, while other subtypes of NHL were rare. Only one case was diagnosed as Hodgkin lymphoma. Regarding the clinical staging at the initial diagnosis, 37 patients (90.2%) were diagnosed as stage IE or IIE of the disease, while 4 patients (9.8%) as stage IIIE or stage IVE. Seven patients (17.1%) had a history of Sjögren syndrome (SS), all of whom were MALT lymphoma. The mean ill duration of the 41 patients were 20.7 months. Thirty-two patients (78%) presented a slowly growing painless mass in the parotid gland. Treatment options included localized therapy and systemic therapy, all of whom had good curative effect. Nine patients (21.9%) died during the follow-up period. The overall survival rates of 2-year and 5-year were 84.5% and 81.3% respectively. The univariate analysis demonstrated statistically significant differences for accelerated growth of tumor (P=0.005), and presence of tumor capsule (P=0.011). The multi-univariate analysis demonstrated statistically significant differences for presence of tumor capsule (P=0.041).@*CONCLUSION@#A large majority of primary parotid lymphoma were NHL, among which MALT lymphoma and DLBCL were common subtypes. Most patients presented an indolent mass in parotid gland, which should be distinguished from the parotid benign tumors. SS is closely related to the pathogenesis of MALT lymphoma. The prognosis is better than that of other malignant parotid tumors. Absence of tumor capsule may predict a poor prognosis in patients with parotid lymphoma.

Aim To investigate the role of P2X7 recep-tor and its mediated NLRP3 inflammatory signaling pathway in alcohol-induced liver injury. Methods The acute alcoholic liver injury model was established by NIAAA method, and thirty C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into three groups (n =10):control group, model group, A438079 group, The three groups were processed as follows in the last week:control group and model group: given an equal dose of saline intraperitoneal injection(about 0.2 mL/only) once a day. According to the weight of the mice, A438079 group was given intraperitoneally injection by 200 μmol·kg-1of A-438079 (prepared at 7 g·L-1 of A438079,about 0.2 mL/only) once a day. And it was given a single 31.5% alcohol solution by intragas-tric administration on the last day of the morning,with the dose of 10 mL·kg-1. Nine hours later alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST),cholesterol(TCHO),triglyceride(TG) were measured by orbital blood in mice. HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of the liver. Immunohistochemical method was applied to detect the expression of P2X7R in liver tissues. Western blot was employed to detect the levels of P2X7R, NLRP3, ASC, IL-1β and IL-18 in liver tissues. Results Compared with control group,the levels of ALT,AST, TG and TCHO in model group were significantly en-hanced, and the liver injury was obvious. Compared with model group, the levels of ALT, AST, TG and TCHO in A438079 group significantly decreased. Compared with control group, the expressions of P2X7, NLRP3, ASC, IL-1β, IL-18 in model group were significantly higher than those in control group. Compared with model group, the expression levels of P2X7, NLRP3, ASC, IL-1β and IL-18 in A438079 group significantly decreased. Conclusion Alcohol-induced liver injury may be associated with P2X7R-NLRP3 signaling pathway.

Salivary glands mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (SGML) is a distinct subtype of marginal zone B-cell type non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma (NHL), which is commonly seen in middle aged females. SGML is usually associated with autoimmune diseases such as Sjögren's syndrome or with chronic infection such as hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Chromosomal abnormalities are frequently seen in SGML, which usually activate nuclear factor-κB molecular pathway to modulate cell survival and proliferation, resulting in lymphoma occurrence. SGML tends to arise from parotid gland, presenting frequently as a localized and indolent lesion, a long-term follow-up and biopsy are needed for accurate diagnosis. Surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are usually effective disseminated diseases at multiple sites need combined treatment. SGML has a relatively better prognosis with a higher relapse rate than other types of NHLs, dissemination or higher degree of malignant transformation may occur. Thus, a long-term and close follow-up is essential for patients with SGML.

To investigate the effect of prenatal stress on neural stem cell proliferation and nestin protein expression in the hippocampus of rat offspring, Sprague-Dawley female rats weighing 240-260 g were included and randomly divided into control and restraint stress groups. Rats in the control group were given no interventions. Rats in the restraint stress group were given restraint stress three times daily for 45 min during gestational days 14-20. One-month-old offspring rats were used for further experiment. The results of Morris water maze showed that the escape latency to reach the platform in offspring of restraint stress group was longer than that in control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference of the staying-time in quadrant of the primary platform in spatial probe test. The expressions of nestin- and BrdU-positive cells in the hippocampus of female offspring in restraint stress group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in male offspring (P > 0.05). These results suggest that prenatal restraint stress can increase the number and proliferative capability of the neural stem cells in female offspring. It may be a primary stage of the cascade reaction of the body to the brain damage caused by prenatal restraint stress.

The HPLC fingerprint determination method of Jinzhen oral solution was established to provide a new method for quality control of Jinzhen oral solution. RP-HPLC was used for phenomenex Luna C18 (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 μm) chromatographic column, with 0.1% H3 PO4 water solution and acetonitrile as the mobile phase for gradient elution. The detection wavelength was 280 nm. HPLC fingerprint of Jinzhen oral solution was established to identify 17 common peaks in Jinzhen oral solution. The similarity of fingerprints of 10 batches of finished products was more than 0. 90. The established HPLC fingerprint has a better precision, reproducibility and stability, and can be applied in quality control of Jinzhen oral solution.

This study was purposed to investigate the expression of miR-16 in T lymphoblastic lymphoma/acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-LBL/ALL) and its relation with target therapy and prognosis. The CD3, cCD3, CD10, CD20, CD34, CD43, CD99, TdT, PAX-5, BCL-2 and Ki67 in paraffin samples from 38 cases of T-LBL/ALL were detected by immunohistochemical labeling; the miR-16 expression level was detected by real-time RT-PCR. Fifteen cases of reactive hyperplasia of lymph nodes were selected as control. The results indicated that among 38 cases of T-LBL/ALL the positive rate of TdT was highest (94.7%), the positive rate of CD34 was lowest (22.1%), the PAX-5 and CD20 were found to be negative. The Ki67 expression level in 39.5% cases exceeded 80%. As compared with reactive hyperplasia of lymph node, the miR-16 expression in T-LBL/ALL was up-regulated, ant its expression level was 4.87-fold of reactive hyperplasia of lymph node (P < 0.05). The overall survival rate in group of miR-16 high expression decreased (P < 0.05). The prognosis of T-LBL/ALL patients with BCL-2 positive expression was better than that of patients with BCL-2 negative expression (P < 0.05). The miR-16 expression correlated with BCL-2 protein (r = 0.51, P < 0.05). It is concluded that the overall survival rate in miR-16 high expression group is higher than that in miR-16 low expression group, suggesting possible relation of miR-16 with prognosis. Moreover, the prognosis in BCL-2 positive expression group is better than that in negative expression group, which may be a factor influencing prognosis.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the risk factors for pulmonary metastasis after curative resection of colorectal cancer in order to improve the effectiveness of follow-up and the rate of early diagnosis for the high-risk patients.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The clinicopathological and follow-up data of 268 patients with colorectal cancer undergoing radical resection from January 2004 to December 2006 in the Beijing Cancer Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were divided into study group including 16(6.0%) patients who developed lung metastasis and control group without lung metastasis. The high-risk variables associated with lung metastasis were reviewed by univariate analysis and multivariate analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Lung metastasis developed in 16 patients, including 10 cases with unilateral lung metastasis and 6 with bilateral. The median duration from colorectal surgery to identification of lung metastasis was 13.9 months. The diagnosis rate of pulmonary metastasis by enhanced chest CT was 81.3%(13/16). Univariate analysis identified the following associated with significant factors associated with pulmonary metastasis: primary tumor location(P=0.003), adjuvant chemotherapy(P=0.034), TNM stage(P=0.005) and preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA) level (P=0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that primary tumor location(rectum) and preoperative serum CEA level(≥5 μg/L) were independent risk factors for pulmonary metastasis(both P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Primary tumor location and elevated preoperative CEA level are independent risk factors for pulmonary metastasis. Strict postoperative follow-up and routine chest enhanced CT examination is necessary for this particular patient population.</p>
