All patients were diagnosed by pathological puncture. The patients were followed-up by telephone for 12 months, and according to the prognosis, the patients were divided into good prognosis group and poor prognosis group. The pathological tissues were taken from all patients, and the expressions of hMTERF3 and Foxp3 proteins were detected by immunohistochemistry. The expressions of hMTERF3 and Foxp3 in the good prognosis group and the poor prognosis group were compared. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of poor prognosis in patients with NSCLC. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000Of 88 patients, 61 patients (69.3%) had good prognosis and 27 patients (30.7%) had poor prognosis. The positive expression rate of hMTERF3 in the good prognosis group was 57.4% (35/61), which was significantly lower than that in the poor prognosis group (81.5%, 22/27) (χ 2= 4.766, P= 0.029).

The proportions of patients with medium and high differentiation or stage Ⅰ- Ⅱ in the good prognosis group were 82.0% (50/61) and 68.8% (42/61), respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the poor prognosis group [48.15% (13/27) and 25.93% (7/27)] (both P < 0.05).
