ObjecfiveTo compare the sensitivity of diffusion weighted imaging(DWI)with dynamic contrast enhanced(DeE)MRI for the detection of small breast caJlcers and to evaluate the clinical value of DWI.MethodsForty-eight patients with benign(n=25)and malignant(n=45)small breast lesions(≤2 cm)proved by pathology underwent DWI and DCE MRI.The DCE MRI was performed using FLASH sequence and the time-signal intensity chive was drawn.The DWl was performed using GRAPPAEPI sequence with different b values(800,1000 s/mm2) and the ADC values of lesions were measured.The sensitivity and specificity of DWI for the detection of small breast cancers were compared with DCE MRI. ResultsForty of 45 small breast cancers and 19 of 25 small benign breast lesions were corrlectly diagnosed using DCE MRI.The sensitivity and positive predictive value of TIC were 88.9%(40/45)and 87.0%(40/46).With b values of 800 s/mm2 and 1000 s/mm2,the avemge ADC values of small breast cancers were(1.153±0.192)× 10-3 and(1.079±0.186)× 10-3 mm2/s,while those of benign ones were (1.473±0.252)×10-3 and(1.419±0.255)×10-3 mm2/s,respeetively. There was no significant difference for the ADC values with different b values in the same group(P>0.05),while there was a signiticant difference between the malignant and the benign lesions(P<0.05)Thirty-nine of 45 small breast cancers and 19 of 25 small benign breast lesions were correctly diagnosed using DWI with b value of 1000see/mm2.Both the sensitivity and positive predictive value of diagnosis were 86.7%(39/45).The abilities of DWI and DCE MRI for the diagnosis of small breast cancers werle the same. The sensitivity(93.3%)and positive predictive value(91.3%)were improved with the combination of DCE MRI and DWI. Conclusion DWI has a high sensitivity for the detection of small breast cancers,the ADC value can provide valuable information in the differential diagnosis.

Objective To assess the value of emergency interventional embolization in treating traumatic spleen rupture. Methods A total of 74 patients with traumatic spleen rupture, who were encountered at authors’ hospital during the period from July 2007 to July 2013, were enrolled in this study. The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into embolization group (n = 38) and surgery group (n = 36). Interventional splenic artery embolization was carried out in the patients of the embolization group, and surgical repair was employed in the patients of the surgery group. The operation time, the amount of blood loss during the procedure, the hospitalization days, the preservation rate of the spleen and the occurrence of procedure- related adverse events were recorded, and the results were compared between the two groups. Results No significant difference in the operation time existed between the two groups (P = 0.061). The amount of blood loss during the procedure, the hospitalization days and the occurrence of procedure- related adverse events in the embolization group were significantly lower than those in the surgery group (P < 0.05), while the preservation rate of the spleen of the embolization group was significantly higher than that of the surgery group (P = 0.026). Conclusion Emergency interventional embolization is a safe procedure for the treatment of traumatic spleen rupture, this technique can improve the preservation rate of the spleen when compared with traditional surgical repair treatment.

Objective Toinvestigatetheimpactofthedifferentrupturepoints(sac,neck,andtop) of intraoperative aneurysm rupture (IAR)on the prognosis of patients in anterior circulation aneurysm clipping.Methods Theclinicaldataof135consecutivepatients(148aneurysms)acceptedmicrosurgical aneurysm clipping from May 2009 to March 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. The prognostic evaluation of the patients after procedure was assessed by using the Glasgow outcome scale (GOS). The different aneurysm rupture points of IAR were used as influencing factors,and the relationship between the different rupture pointsandtheprognosisofpatientswasanalyzed.Results Duringclippingof148aneurysmsin 135 patients,31 aneurysms in 30 patients had intraoperative rupture (20. 9% of the aneurysms, 22.2% of the patients). Nine rupture points occurred on the top of aneurysms,17 occurred on the sac,and 5 occurred on neck. The Glasgow outcome scale (GOS)scores 5,4,3,2 and 1 were in 17,8,2,1 and 2 patients,respectively. A total of 25 patients had good prognosis and 5 cases had poor prognosis. There were no significant differences in the impact of different rupture points of IAR on the prognosis in patients of IAR (OR,100. 00,95% confidence interval 6. 764-18. 344,P=0. 006). Of the 25 patients with aneurysm sac or top rupture,1 case had poor prognosis. Of the 5 patients with aneurysm neck rupture, 4caseshadpoorprognosis.Conclusion Inanteriorcirculationaneurysmclipping,thedifferent aneurysm rupture points may have significant impact on the prognosis of patients,the aneurysm neck rupture is a main factor for resulting in the poor prognosis of patients.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of ADC for breast lesions with different enhancement shape or mass size. Methods One hundred and thirty-six breast lesions confirmed by histopathology were included in this study. According to enhancement shape and size of the lesion, all lesions were divided into 3 groups: non-masslike enhancement ( G1 ), masslike enhancement with the largest diameter < 2. 0 cm (G2a) and masslike enhancement with the largest diameter > 2. 0 cm (G2b). Echo planar imaging DWI was performed and three b-values (0,500 and 1000 s/mm2) were applied. The t-test was used for testing the difference of ADC between malignant and non-malignant breast lesions in each group. ROC curve was deduced to test the diagnostic efficiency of ADC. The sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value( NPV), positive predictive value(PPV) and accuracy of ADC for the diagnosis of breast lesions were calculated under the different threshold. Appropriate b value and threshold were determined with the combination of morphologic evaluation. Results There were no significant differences for the mean ADC values between malignant [b =800 mm2/s: ADC value = ( 1.13 ±0. 23) × 10-3 mm2/s,b=1000 mm2/s: ADC value = (1.05 ±0.20) × 10-3 mm2/s] and non-malignant breast lesions [b =800 mm2/s: ADC value = ( 1.28 ±0. 27) × 10-3 mm2/s, t = 1. 636, P =0. 112,b = 1000 mm2/s: ADC value=(1.20 ±0.23) × 10-3 mm2/s, t = 1.720, P =0. 109] in Group 1. The mean ADC values of malignant breast lesion [b =800 mm2/s: ADC value = (1.07 ±0. 15) × 10-3 mm2/s,b = 1000 mm2/s:ADC value = (0. 99 ±0. 14) × 10-3 mm2/s] were significantly lower than that of non-malignant lesion [b =800 mm2/s: ADC value = ( 1.37 ± 0. 37 ) × 10-3 mm2/s, t = 4. 803, P = 0. 000; b = 1000 mm2/s: ADC value= (1.30 ±0.34) × 10-3 mm2/s, t =4.227, P =0.000] in Group 2a. The mean ADC values of malignant breast lesion [b =800 mm2/s: ADC value = (0. 97 ±0. 14) × 10-3 mm2/s; b = 1000 mm2/s:ADC value = (0. 93 ±0. 14) × 10-3 mm2/s] were significantly lower than that of non-malignant lesion [b =800 mm2/s: ADC value = ( 1.40 ± 0. 39) × 10 -3 mm2/s, t = 4. 227, P = 0. 000; b = 1000 mm2/s: ADC value = ( 1.35 ±0. 36) × 10-3 mm2/s, t =4. 329, P =0. 000] in Group 2b. The diagnostic efficiency was equal( x2 =0. 36,P =0. 5460) whenever b value of 800 or 1000 s/mm2 was selected. The highest sensitivity (97.7%) and NPV (97. 1%) were obtained with b value of 1000 s/mm2 and threshold of 1.25 ×10 -3 s/mm2. Conclusion MR DWI is useful for the differential diagnosis of breast lesions with masslike enhancement rather than nonmasslike enhancement.
