Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the correlation between computed tomography (CT) findings and serum micrornA-497 (miR-497), carbohydrate polypeptide antigen 24-2 (CA24-2) and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) expression in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).Methods:A total of 64 CRC patients admitted to the Jiangsu Cancer Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were prospectively selected, and the surgical pathological results were used as the gold standard. Preoperative CT examination and serum miR-497, CA24-2 and HBsAg levels were performed in all patients. The CT images of the patients were analyzed. Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between CT findings and serum miR-497, CA24-2 and HBsAg expression levels in CRC patients.Results:The CT imaging features of CRC patients were as follows: The intestinal wall was semi-annular in 37.50%(24/64), annular in 32.81%(21/64), localized thickening in 29.69%(19/64), the intestinal lumen was irregular and narrow, and most of the periintestinal fat was blurred in 59.38%(38/64). 67.19%(43/64) showed uneven enhancement, 51.56%(33/64) had lymph node metastasis and 43.75%(28/64) had liver metastasis. Lymph node metastasis in CRC patients was correlated with serum miR-497 and CA24-2 levels (all P<0.05), but not with serum HBsAg levels ( P>0.05). Liver metastasis in CRC patients was associated with serum HBsAg expression ( P<0.05), but not with serum miR-497 and CA24-2 levels (all P>0.05). Other CT findings of CRC patients were not correlated with serum miR-497, CA24-2 and HBsAg levels (all P>0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that lymph node metastasis in CRC patients was negatively correlated with the expression level of serum miR-497 ( r=-0.491, P<0.05), while positively correlated with the expression level of serum CA24-2 ( r=0.506, P<0.05). There was no correlation with serum HBsAg expression level ( P>0.05). The occurrence of liver metastasis in CRC patients was negatively correlated with the expression level of serum HBsAg ( r=-0.529, P<0.05), but was not correlated with the expression levels of serum miR-497 and CA24-2 (all P>0.05). Conclusions:CT imaging findings can evaluate the biological behavior of tumor cells in CRC patients to a certain extent, and have a certain correlation with the expression levels of serum miR-497, CA24-2 and HBsAg, which can reflect the lymph node and liver metastasis of tumors, and provide a basis for clinical comprehensive treatment and prognosis prediction of patients.
