ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To explore the risk factors of breast cancer for better control and prevention of the malignancy. METHODS: The clinical data of 232 patients with pathologically established breast cancer were investigated in this 1:1 case-control study to identify the risk factors of breast cancer. RESULTS: The history of benign breast diseases, family history of carcinoma and multiple abortions were the statistically significant risk factors of breast cancer, while breast feeding was the protective factor. CONCLUSION: A history of benign breast diseases, family history of carcinoma and multiple abortions are all risk factors of breast cancer.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the accuracy of 64-slice computed tomography and coronary angiography in the diagnosis of coronary atherosclerosis. METHODS: The imaging data of both 64-slice computed tomography and coronary angiography in 65 patients were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: Among the 455 coronary arteries evaluated, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 64-slice computed tomography were 54.6%, 95.1%, and 85.5%, respectively. CONCLUSION: 64-slice computed tomography has a good potential in the diagnosis of coronary atherosclerosis with excellent sensitivity and specificity.
