With the rapid development of critical care medicine (CCM) in China, there are increases in the number of intensive care units (ICUs), the scale of one center ICU and the team. Subspecialty construction of CCM is of great concerns for personnel training as well as discipline development, and is currently one of the urgent problems that need to be resolved. Experience of CCM subspecialty construction from Europe and the United States is lacking and it is necessary to propose some opinions on innovation to construct CCM subspecialties with Chinese characteristics. We believe that CCM sub-specialties construction should be based on the core knowledge (pathophysiology) and skill (organ monitoring and support). The following 7 sub-specialties can be set up: ① acute lung injury and mechanical ventilation; ② shock, hemodynamic monitoring and treatment; ③ acute kidney injury and blood purification; ④ sepsis and anti-infective therapy; ⑤ stress, sedation and analgesia; ⑥ nutrition and metabolic support; ⑦ coagulation, immune and inflammation. The core knowledge and skills of critical care medicine will constantly be updated and enriched. Therefore, sub-specialty settings should be constantly updated as well.

Objective To explore the effects of fat on healing of porcine skin wounds so as to provide a new strategy to promote skin wound repair after injury. Methods Forty-eight full-thickness skin wounds were produced on both sides of the back in 6 male minipigs (8 wounds in each animal). These wounds were then randomly divided into 4 groups, i.e. saline control group, fat autografting group, fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) treatment group and epidermal growth factor (EGF) treatment group. On day 3, 7, 14 and 21 after wounding, the area and the volume of wounds were measured, and histological examination was performed to evaluate the speed and quality of wound healing in different groups. Results On days 3 and 7, the amount of granulation tissue and vessel density in fat treatment group were significantly more abundant compared with other groups. Wound area and volume in fat treatment wounds were markedly decreased compared with those in other groups (P

Objective To establish the equation of chest CR for the estimation of age, and evaluate the significance of forensic medicine. Methods 5 measurements were selected to carry on the independent samples, and the status were analyzed by SPSS 19.0. Results The 5 measurements and age were line-related(P<0.05); Three group regression models were formulated; In a separate test, a control sample of 30 chest CR that not involved with formulating the regression equation was correctly estimated with 73.3% to 86.7% accuracy within 3 years. Conclusion The method set up in this paper can be used to estimate the age of Chinese Han adults.

Objective To determine the effects of the early enteric nutrition (EEN) up to scratch on the outcomes of the critical care patients with different degrees of severity of illness. Method There were 192 critically ill patients eligible for enrollment for study during the past 18 months in our ICU. They were classified by using APACHE Ⅱ scores. The aim of this retrospective analysis of the early enteric nutrition was to see if the enteric nufore, the patients were divided into two groups: up to scratch group and not up to scratch group. According to APACHE Ⅱ scores, the patients of each group were further divided into three sub-groups in terms of scores below 15, between15 and 25, and above 25, respectively. Results There were 62 patients in the group of EEN up to scratch, and 130 patients' EEN did not up to scratch. When the scores of APACHE Ⅱ were below 15, the length of hospital stay (LOS) was significantly shorter in group of EEN up to scratch in comparison with that of EEN not up to scratch (t = 6.453, P = 0.000). When the scores of APACHE Ⅱ were between15 and 25, the LOS in ICU (t = 3.966, P = 0.000), in hospital (t = 8.165,P = 0.000), The cost of medical care (t = 4.812,P= 0.000) and the mortality (x2 = 5.421,P = 0.038) were all significantly less in patients with EEN up to scratch. However, when the scores of APACHE Ⅱ were above 25, only the cost of medical care ( t = 7.364, P = 0.000) was significantly lower in patients of EEN up to scratch than that of EEN not up to scratch. Conclusions The EEN up to scratch can significantly improve the outcomes of critical patients and the clinical value of EEN up to scratch depends on the severity of illness.

Objective To identify regular roots for medical disputes by case studies for providing evidences for hospital management..Methods 200 cases of medical malpractice were selected consecutively and categorized according to the causes,dispute focus and expert opinions.Results The main factor to trigger medical disputes is dissatisfaction of the outcome,accounting for 50.5％.48.15％ of the disputes,however,result from dissatisfaction of the therapy process which constitutes a medical malpractice.Neglect or defects in treatment,surgical operation,information notice and medical papers were highly common causes.Conclusion Medical disputes result from a variety of causes,so are the roots of medical malpractice.Medical institutions are recommended to enhance medical quality management,make sufficient doctor-patient communication,and make high quality documentation of key medical activities,in an effort to minimize medical disputes and medical malpractice.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of proximal femoral locking compression plate (LCP)fixation in elderly intertrochanteric fractures patients. Methods 30 cases of intertrochanteric fracture fixed with LCP were collected,and the functional recovery of all hip joints was observed. Results The average follow-up and healing time of all cases was 10 months(6 to 14 months)and 3.5 months respectively. Hip joint function of 27 cases was excellent( Harris scoring≥90) ,that of the other 3 cases was good ( Harris scoring:80 ～ 89). Conclusion The proximal femoral LCP fixation had a good clinical value in treatment of elderly intertrochanteric fracture patients. It had many advantages, such as simplicity, rigid fixation, less trauma and bleeding, shorter operative time, less complications, high heal rate, etc.

Objective To investigate the value of transrectal Doppler and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography(CETRUS)to discriminate benign and cancerous nodules in prostate. Methods Fifty-five patients with hypoechoic lesions(35 biopsy-proven benign nodules and 32 prostate cancer nodules)in the prostate underwent Color and power Doppler uhrasonography(PDUS),and the parameter of peak vascularization index(PVI)in each prostate nodule was recorded and the differences of PVI in the benign and cancerous nodules were analyzed.CETRUS was then performed on all cases.The enhancement patterns of the lesions and their surrounding peripheral zone tissues were observed.After CETRUS,lesion-specific TRUS-guided biopsy and the routine sextant biopsy were performed subsequently. Results PVI of 32 prostate cancerous nodules and 35 prostate benign nodules were (0.38±0.16),(0.24±0.19),respectively,measured by color Doppler ultrasonography.And the former was significantly higher than the latter(P=0.0023).PVI of the cancerous nodules and the benign nodules were(0.55±0.18),(0.32±0.21)(P<0.01).Malignant lesions showed significant increased peak intensity and earlier arrival time compared with their surrounding outer gland tissue,while benign lesions showed nearly equal peak intensity and time to enhancement compared with their surrounding gland tissue by CETRUS. Conclusions PVI measured by PDUS was more effective than that measured by color Doppler to discriminate benign and cancerous nodules in prostate.CETRUS could be helpful in discriminatory performance of benign and cancerous nodules in prostate.

Objective To explore the significance and important measure of integrative treatment of multiple trauma patients with severe craniocerebral injury in emergency center. Methods One hundred and forty-eight multiple trauma patients with severe craniocerebral injury in emergency center from November 2002 to February 2006 were analysed retrospectively. Result In total 148 cases, 72 were cured and 26 dead, 7 were in status of plant man, 17 experienced severe deformity, and 26 did mild deformity. Conclusion Multiple trauma patients with severe craniocerebral injury usually experience a serious situation and rapid development. Therefore emergency doctors are required for organizing salvage of such patients, at the same time treatment and diagnosis are implemented. Firstly the most important key to successful salvage is appropriate disposal of fatal injury and early elimination of shock. Proper surgical choice, especially at the first time, inspection and protection of visceral functions, and attention to nutritional support are other vital methods to gain more successful salvage. ICU is also emphasized for its essentiality.
