Objective To determine the clinical characteristic, main treatment, and prognosis for the sake of more effective treatments for critically ill patients with H1N1 influenza. Methods Eight critically ill patients with H1N1 influenza in intensive care unit were retrospectively studied, including clinical characteristics, indexex of correlation, and prognosis. Results The acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ score was 19.0±7.8. Five patients died, 4 of whom were caused by respiratory failure. The number of platelets in dead patient was lower than that in healing and improved ones(χ2=8.000,P<0.05).All the 4 patients treated with glucocorticoid died, 5 out of the 6 patients received invasive mechanical ventilation rather than noninvasive mechanical ventilation, and 3 of them who complicated barotraumas in the lung died at last. Conclusion Critically ill patients with H1N1 influenza have high mortality. Respiratory failure is the main cause of death. Critically ill patients with H1N1 influenza should not be treated with glucocorticoid. Patients who need mechanical ventilation should be treated with invasive mechanical ventilation with low tidal volume and low positive end-expiratory pressure.

Objective:
To analyze the clinical features and diagnostic and therapeutic procedure of microtia in Klippel-Feil syndrome(KFS), and to summarize the experiences on diagnosis and treatment of this kind of rare disease to avoid misdiagnosing.
Methods:
Between May 2014 and July 2015, six patients with microtia were diagnosed with suspected cervical vertebral malformation through physical examination and X-ray. Then they underwent additional examinations to evaluate the degree of deformities and relative risks: pure tone test, chest CT, cervical spine CT, temporal CT, echocardiography and ultrasonic on kidney and ureters. Ear reconstruction was performed with soft tissue skin expander and autogenous rib cartilage framework.
Results:
The six patients were diagnosed as KFS with microtia, which had different degree of cervical fusion and thoracic vertebral fusion. Some of them had rib deformity, scoliosis, congenital renal malformation and so on. Of 6 patients, scar formation occurred in 1 case after ear reconstruction, whose new ears had good position and appearance at 1 month after stage II. After operation, 6 cases were followed up for 8-20 months (median, 12 months), none of them had nerve injury. Five cases had completed the third stage. All of them were well-healed after one month. Three cases were followed up for 3-11 months, the reconstructed ears had a three-dimensional configuration, and the cranioauricular angle of the reconstructed ears were similar to the opposite ears.
Conclusions
The primary step of comprehensive therapy in microtia with KFS is to diagnose definitely. Enhancing perioperative management can reduce surgery-related risks. It is ought to pay attention to nerve injury in a long-term follow-up.

Objective:
To seek an accurate and objective method to locate reconstructed auricles and design frameworks with digital technology for microtia patients with craniomaxillofacial asymmetry, improving the symmetry of the postoperative ears.
Methods:
From September 2014 to February 2016, 50 unilateral microtia patients with craniomaxillofacial asymmetry who were scheduled for auricular reconstruction were included in the study. The digital models of the patients′ ears and heads were based on the scan data preoperatively, which were collected by the three dimensional(3D) photogrammetric scanning technique. The reconstructed auricle was positioned by the mirror image of the contralateral side on the digital models. Based on the location, the morphological parameters and the corrective parameters of the autogenous cartilage frameworks could be obtained. With the guidance of the above information, ear reconstruction with tissue expander could be carried out.
Results:
Auricular and craniofacial morphology could be reflected vividly by the digital models. Meanwhile, the location and parameters of the reconstructed ear could be acquired. And the outcomes of the 50 reconstructed ears were satisfactory with symmetrical appearance. With 1 to 8 months (average 6.8 months) of follow-up, both the doctors and the patients were satisfied with the postoperative result.
Conclusions
Utilizing the location and parameters which were obtained from the digital models based on 3D photogrammetric scanning is an accurate and objective way to gain more symmetrical result in clinical ear reconstruction for microtia patients with craniomaxillofacial asymmetry.

Objective:
To discuss the strategy for dealing with the failed reconstructed ears.
Methods:
From January 2010 to January 2015, 14 cases (14 ears) were admitted to our department because of failed reconstructed ears. It was impossible to improve their appearance greatly just by adjusting the original structures. We had to take out the framework and re-reconstruct the ear with autologous costal cartilages. Depending on the conditions of soft tissue, we divided them into three groups: Group 1, 8 ears(57.1%), the soft tissue could be reused simultaneously after being dealt with appropriately although the original frameworks were distorted badly. We took out the original frameworks, harvested cartilages again, fabricated the new frameworks and wrapped them with the original soft tissue. Group 2, 4 ears(28.6%), the structures were damaged completely, just with the constricted scars and skin graft clinging on the mastoid bone. We wrapped the new framework with axial temporal superficial fascia flap and then covered the wound with skin graft; Group 3, 2 ears(14.3%), the structures were distorted seriously. The skin flap covering the framework constricted badly while the post-auricular fascia flap was unspent. We took out the framework, implanted the skin expander under the spread skin flap, and then re-reconstructed the ear with expansion method.
Results:
13 of 14 cases( 92.9%)were rebuilt successfully. The new ears maintained the landmark subunits 1 month after surgery. In 1 case (7.1%) from group 3, the creased skin had a rupture during skin expansion period. The expander had been taken out, and then a new one was replaced 3 months later. Follow-up period was 3-12 months. The structures of all the 14 rebuilt ears were stable and much better than before.
Conclusions
Good results could be achieved when appropriate method was selected for failed reconstructed ear. The condition of soft tissue of distorted reconstructed ear should be considered.
