Objective: To compare the diagnostic accuracy between dilatation and curettage (D&C) pathology and post- surgical gross pathology results in the patients of endometrial carcinoma. Methods: 217 clinical data of patients who were diagnosed as endometrial carcinoma both by D&C and post-surgical gross pathology were collected, compared by the type of organization and histological grade to evaluate the accuracy of D&C pathology. Results:There were 196 endometrioid and 21 non-endometrioid carcinoma of the D&C pathology respectively, the sensitivity 97.4% and specificity 72.7%, Kappa value was 0.716 compared with the post-surgical gross pathology. The numbers of patients with grade 1, grade 2 and grade 3 were 135, 50 and 32 by D&C pathology. Compared with the post-surgical gross pathology, the weighted Kappa value was 0.596 (Z=11.72, P= 0.000). The misdiagnosis rate by D&C was significantly higher in grade 3 versus grade 1 and it was not significant in grade 2 versus the other two groups. Conclusions: Pre-surgical D&C pathology is very helpful and important in the pre-surgical evaluation of endometrial carcinoma, type of organization reveals higher consistency and grade 3 has much higher misdiagnosis rate compared with the grade 1 groups by D&C.

Industry 4.0 has managed to attract lots of attention from researchers because of the benefits it has to offer and many studies about Industry 4.0, as well as readiness and maturity models, are available from the technological point of view. Meanwhile, the organizational culture dimension of Industry 4.0 has received little to no attention. The aim of this paper is to find out whether or not the size and type of an organization influence the innovative culture and consequently the readiness of the organization for implementing industry 4.0. Results show that the innovative organizational culture according to the index of organizational culture does not depend on the size of an organization but to some degree depends on the type of the organization.
