PurposeDiffusion weighted imaging (DWI) can significantly improve the diagnosis of non-enlarged lymph node metastasis. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between the DWI findings and the prognosis, and to identify prognostic factors.Materials and Methods Forty-seven patients with colorectal cancer underwent MRI scan including DWI sequence before surgery. Imaging ifndings were compared with the pathologic results to determine the metastatic lymph nodes (DWI positive) or non-metastatic lymph nodes (DWI negative). Postoperative disease-free survival and overall survival for 5 years of the patients with DWI positive and DWI negative lymph nodes were compared. Correlation between the prognosis and the related factors were investigated including regional DWI-positive lymph nodes, short axis diameter and long axis diameter of the largest DWI-positive lymph node, and number of DWI-positive nodes.Results Of 47 patients,10 (21%) patients had regional DWI-positive lymph nodes showed high signal intensity on diffusion-weighted images. The patients with regional DWI negative lymph nodes had a signiifcant better ifve-year disease-free survival and overall survival (P<0.05). The short axis diameter of the largest DWI-positive lymph node was correlated with distant metastasis (AUC=0.77,P<0.05). The short axis diameter and long axis diameter of the maximum metastatic lymph nodes were correlated with overall survival (AUC=0.84 and 0.75,P<0.05). Five-year disease-free survival and overall survival of the patients with short axis diameter of the largest DWI-positive lymph node ≤9 mm were higher than the patients with lymph node short axis diameter >9 mm (P<0.05). Five-year disease-free survival and overall survival of the patients with long axis diameter of the largest DWI-positive lymph nodes ≤11 mm were higher than the patients with long axis diameter >11 mm (P<0.05). Five-year disease-free survival of the patients with all DWI positive lymph nodes resected was higher than the patient without DWI-positive lymph nodes resected (P<0.05).Conclusion The patients with regional DWI-negative lymph node had a better prognosis. Of the patients with DWI-positive lymph nodes, the patients with smaller lymph nodes have better prognosis than who have larger lymph nodes.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanisms of propofol and dexmedetomidine on neurites and synapses of hippocampal neurons neonatal rats, in vitro. Methods Hippocampal neurons of neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats were cultured 6 days, in vitro and were divided into control group (Group C), solvent of propofol group (Group S), propofol group (Group P), dexmedetomidine group (Group D),propofol and dexmedetomidine group (Group PD), and yohimbine group (Group Y). All groups were cultured for 24 h further. Neuron morphology and the expression of protein were measured. Results After exposing to propofol, we found that the mean total length of neurites of primary cultured hippocampal neurons and synapses and the expression of BDNF, TrkB and CRMP-2 protein were reduced; dexmedetomidine played a protective role. Moreover, yohimbine, partly inhibited neuroprotection of dexmedetomidine. Conclusions Propofol decreases the development of neurites and synapses of hippocampal neurons neonatal rats, in vitro, and dexmedetomidine provides a protective effect on propofol by up-regulating the expression of BDNF, TrkB and CRMP-2. The effect, partly has a concern aboutα2-adrenergic agonist.
