This study aimed to retrospectively analyze diagnostic consistency and accuracy for prostate disease among six radiologists with different experience levels from a single center and to evaluate the diagnostic pcrformance of PI-RADS v2 scores in the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer （PCa）. Methods： From December 2014 to March 2016, 84 PCa patients and 99 benign prostatic shyperplasia patients who underwent 3.0T multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging before biopsy were included in our study. All patients received evaluation according to the PI-RADS v2 scale （1 5 scores） from six blinded readers （with 6 months and 2, 3, 4, 5, or 17 years of experience, respectively, the last reader was a reviewer/contributor for the PI-RADS v2）. The correlation among the readers＇ scores and the Gleason score （GS） was determined with the Kendall test. lntra-/inter-observer agreement was evaluated using K statistics, while receiver operating characteristic curve and area under the curve analyses were performed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the scores. Results： Based on the PI-RADS v2, the median k score and standard error among all possible pairs of readers were 0.506 and 0.043, respectively： the average correlation between the six readers＇ scores and the GS was positive, exhibiting weak-to-moderate strength （r = 0.391, P = 0.006）. The AUC values of the six radiologists were 0.883, 0.924, 0.927, 0.932, 0.929, and 0.947, respectively. Conclusion： The inter-reader agreement for the PI-RADS v2 among the six readers with different experience is weak to moderate. Different experience levels affect the interpretation of MRI images.展开更多

On this basis,a restricted version of source differentiated almost ideal demand system( RSDAIDS) is used to estimate the income and price elasticity of major imported agriculture textile material from the major sources based on the data from 1992 to 2015. The results are shown as follows.( 1) Although the dependency on imported cotton is lower than wool, the fluctuation of cotton import is much more drastic; China's demand for cotton is relatively price elastic with higher expenditure elasticity compared with wool; besides,the existence of complementarity is proved between imported cotton and wool.( 2) According to the import elasticity of cotton,demand for cotton imported from India shows priority over cotton from other sources; demand for cotton imported from America is the most price-sensitive one; substitution among cotton from different sources is weak.( 3) According to the import elasticity of wool,wool imported from Uruguay has bright market prospects. In addition,wool imported from Australia has irreplaceable advantage than that from New Zealand.展开更多

The paper proposes an efficient spatial data structure, that is an expansion of the R tree and HR tree, for version management of engineering drawings. A novel mechanism to manage the difference between drawings is introduced to the HR tree to eliminate redundant duplications and to reduce the amount of storage required for the data structure. Data management mechanism and structural properties of our data structure called the MVR + tree are described.展开更多
