Commercialization of the doctors sector and lawyers sector, and that of medical services, sharp rise of medical disputes and its impact on healthcare services have grown into major challenges for the healthcare system in the United States where litigation is the legal way out of medical disputes at large.Anglo-American law system depends heavily on precedence as the criteria and the majority of such disputes trials are held in state courts, there is also a complete system of laws and decrees on medical disputes on the federation level.In an effort to handle medical disputes that are rising sharply in a piling-up amount, American lawyers, social organizations of arbitration and medicine, and many state courts are seeking alternative dispute resolution as a better way out for medical dispute mediation and resolution.Given the gaps between China and USA in social systems, legal systems, ,economic development, cultural background, healthcare systems and heahhcare security systems, these experiences will prove their value of reference for medical disputes resolution in China.

Objective:To explore the relation of the expression among C-erbB-2,p16 and nm23-H 1 protein in tissues of nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC)and its clinical significance.Methods:SP TMimmunohistochemical technique was used to detect the positive expression rate of C-erbB-2,p16 and nm23-H 1 protein in NPC tissues.Rusults:①The positive rates of C-erbB-2,p16 and nm23-H 1 in low differentiated squamous cell carcinoma were 58.75%,47.5% and 35%,while in undifferentiated squamous cell carcinoma, they were 86.67%,31.11% and 60% respectively. ②Their expression rate were significantly correlated with the clinical staging(P

Objective To introduce a new bilateral triceps brachii approach for the treatment of intercondylar fractures of the humerus, and explore the possibility for the operation without injuring the mechanism of extension of the elbow. Methods With fresh cadaver specimens, the triceps brachii was stripped off from the distal end of the humerus, the muscle belly was elevated and retracted bilaterally, then the height was recorded, and the exposure of the distal humerus was observed, especially to the trochlear region when the elbow were flexed at 15? , 30? , 45? , 60? , 80? respectively. Results Through the cadaver specimen observation and the clinical application, the reduction and fixation of the intercondylar fractures of humerus should be performed when the elbow is flexed at 45?－ 60?， at 15?－ 30? flexion, fracture over the supracondylar can be treated and finally at 80? flexion, the reduction of the trochlear region can be examined. Conclusion This bilateral approach through the triceps brachii is suitable for the treatment both of the intercondylar and epicondylar fractures.

Objective To discuss methods of pedicle screw fixation for thoracolumbar burst fractures among middle and old aged patients with different degree of osteoporosis, and to improve the clinical result by individualized treatment according to fracture characteristics. Methods There were totally 25 patients, 17 males, and 8 females. These patients with a mean age of 52 years (range, 43-63 years), had suffered from thoracolumbar burst fractures consisted of 1 T11 fracture, 6 T12 fractures, 8 L1 fractures, 7 L2 fractures, 3 L3 fractures. According to Jikeis osteoporosis grading system, 5 patients were of early stage, 7 of stage Ⅰ, 13 of stageⅡ. Posterior stabilization with the short-segment pedicle screw system were given to all the patients, among which 6 RF, 8 AF, 5 USS, 6 Socon were performed. Fifteen patients received anterolateral decompression, and ten patients accepted no decompression at all. Some measures were taken in order to enhance the fixation stiffness for pedicle screw system, such as increasing the screws diameter, using the vertebral body reducer to reduce the depressed vertebral body and so on. To enhance vertebral body strength after fracture union, transpedicular bone graft was also performed. Results All the patients achieved fracture union during the follow-up with a mean period of 28 months (range, 9-48 months). All of the fractures were reduced satisfactorily, SI (sagittal index) was improved from 53% to 89% after operation. No fracture of screws or rods occurred, also no screw loosened. No reduction loss was found. Conclusion In order to decrease failure rate of pedicle screw fixation for thoracolumbar fractures among middle and old aged patients, osteoporosis of vertebral body should never be neglected and, of course, treatment should be given with individualized fixation.

Objective The olecranon is likely to become shorter following the treatment of its comminuted fractures, which will lead to the compromise of the function of elbow joint. So through the cadaver experiment, introduce the method of making different thickness and direction in osteotomy so as to intimate the shape change of the olecranon after the comminuted fractures, and explore its effect on the flexion-extension function of the elbow joint. Methods Through three cadaver(six arms), osteotomy at 25 mm below the olecranon process was made horizontally and fixed with two screws temporarily, furthermore, the bone fragment of 1 mm, 3 mm and 5 mm in length was resected in order, then specimens were divided into two groups: In the first group, osteotomy was made up to 7 mm and 8 mm continually, and the changes of the range of the elbow joint movement were measured; in the second group, the additional wedge osteotomy of 5 mm and 7 mm was performed respectively, then the outcomes between the two groups were compared. Results If the osteotomized bone was within 3 mm, shortening internal fixation was satisfactory for the reconstruction of the elbow joint function. However, in cases of osteotomized bone of 5 mm, the extension function would be limited as the loss of the trochlear notch is too much. In order to keep the normal range motion of the elbow, the dorsal cortex distal to osteotomy should be scarified about 3 mm for the wedge osteotomy. When the shortage attained to 7 mm, the elbow instability would occur, even if advanced wedge osteotomy was accomplished. Conclusion In cases of the comminuted olecranon fractures, if the osteotomy is made within 3 mm, the shortening fixation is appropriate; if it has not exceeded 5 mm, the fracture should be treated with advanced wedge osteotomy tilting back to keep the radian of the trochlea; and if it has reached 7 mm, bone grafting is necessary for recovering of the flexion-extension of the elbow joint.
