Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of DCE-MRI and breast MR reporting and data system(BI-RADS-MR)in differentiation of breast lesions. Methods Seventy-five patients with 75 pathological-confirmed breast lesions underwent DCE-MRI before treatment and DCE-MRI quantitative analysis. Two senior doc-tors assessed the imaging features blindly by BI-RADS-MR. The pathology results were set as a gold standard. The receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)interpretation of two physician′s curve analysis was used to evaluate the sensitivity,specificity of BI-RADS classification. Results According to the BI-RADS MR score,38 breast cancer patients were rated as 1 case in grade Ⅰ,0 case in grade Ⅱ,4 cases in gradeⅢ,13 cases in gradeⅣ,20 cases in grade V;37 breast benign tumors were rated as 17 cases in grade Ⅰ,5 cases in grade Ⅱ,12 cases in gradeⅢ,3 cases in gradeⅣandⅤ0 cases. The statistical difference of Tpeak,S max,K1 between benign and malig-nant breast tumors were significant(P<0.05). On ROC,the area under the curve was 0.940,95%confidence in-terval was from 0.887 to 0.994. The sensitivity of BI-RADS in the diagnosis of breast cancer was 94.59%and speci-ficity was 92.11%. Conclusion DCE-MRI combined with BI-RADS-MR classification in diagnosis of benign and malignant breast tumors has an important value and can improve diagnosis and differential diagnosis level.

Kinematical alignment during total knee arthroplasty is an emerging process, and draws more and more attentions from scholars. Knee joint is close to normal joint after TKA through kinematical alighment, which has good clinical results and functional scores, and not increase failure probility. Thus, it may increase joint stress of patella-femur joint, lead to patellar maltracking and increase abrasion. The paper summarized defination and basical principle, operative method, clinical outcomes and deficiency of kinematical alignment during total knee arthroplasty, in order to choose a better way for kinematical alignment during total knee arthroplasty.

Objective A retrospective analysis were conducted to identify the effect of bypassing the emergency department on 30-days outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction undergone primary percutaneous coronary intervention ( PPCI) . Methods From June 2014 to April 2015, 187 patients underwent PPCI in Kunming General Hospital were included. 13 patients were excluded owing to their incomplete follow-up data. The total 174 patients were divided into two groups: the control group (n =59) who did not bypass the emergency department, and the bypass group ( n = 115) who bypassed the emergency department and directly received PPCI. The data of all patients were collected and analyzed. Results There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics and PPCI related data (including percentage of thrombus aspiration catheter used, length or diameter of stents applied between two groups (all P ﹥ 0. 05) . The bypass group had shorter door-to-ballon ( D2B) than the control group [ (67. 7 ± 21. 5) min vs. (89. 4 ± 23. 6) min, P ﹤ 0. 001] . There were no significant differences in 30-days all-cause mortality, re-myocardial infacrtion and target ressel revascularization (TVR) between the two groups (P ﹥ 0. 05) . Total MACEs rate in the bypass group was lower than in the control group (10. 2% vs. 1. 7% , P = 0. 012) . Logistic regression analysis showed that age, diabetes, pain-to-door (PTD) time and CK peak value were the main influencing factors for 30-day MACEs rate of patients receiving PPCI ( P ﹤0. 05) . Conclusions Bypassing the emergency department can shorten D2B time and reduce 30-days MACEs post-PPCI, but reducing the total ischemic time will be more beneficial to patients with acute myocardial infarction.
