Case Reports[A case of delayed cervical epidural hematoma with C5 nerve root palsy after posterior cervical laminoplasty].
Delayed postoperative spinal epidural hematoma (DPSEH) is a rare and potentially devastating complication of laminoplasty, and cervical nerve root palsy occurs more frequently than DPSEH, especially with C5 nerve root palsy. The authors describe a case of DPSEH with C5 nerve root palsy that developed in a patient 3 days after he underwent laminoplasty. In this case, a 78-year-old man with a history that having taken Aspirin without the doctor's instruction for 5-6 years, he underwent cervical laminoplasty for mild myelopathy. ⋯ Therefore, the symptoms of DPSEH are not so typical that its possibility should be kept in mind. Sometimes a differential diagnosis should be made with C5 nerve root palsy which may only represent weakness of upper extremities. The authors recommend that magnetic resonance imaging is helpful for the diagnosis of DPSEH and a revision surgery should be taken as soon as possible once the hematoma causing the neurologic deterioration was confirmed.

Case Reports[A case of stab wound of cervical spinal cord in a child].
The stab wound of cervical spinal cord is rare in clinic. A four-year boy was encountered a directly posterior stab wound in neck by a knife in an accident. He was sent to hospital with hypovolemia shock. ⋯ After operation he received neuro nutrition drugs and Prednisolone because of neurologic deficit. A 14-month follow-up was made. His neurologic deficit was improved but deformity of cervical kyphosis appeared.

[Genetic epidemiological study on discordant sib pairs of ischemic stroke in Beijing Fangshan District].
To investigate the association among serum lipids, blood pressure, -514C/T polymorphism of hepatic lipase gene and subtypes of ischemic stroke in the discordant sib pairs. ⋯ In these discordant sib pairs, the abnormalities of blood pressure and serum lipids may increase risks of ischemic stroke, and different subtypes of ischemic stroke may differ from each other in etiology. The -514T allele in hepatic lipase gene may be associated with LDL-C and diastolic blood pressure.

Clinical Trial[Clinical study of simultaneous correction of unilateral temporomandibular joint ankylosis and mandibular micrognathia with internal distraction osteogenesis].
To observe the clinical results in correction of unilateral temporomandibular joint(TMJ) ankylosis accompanying with mandibular micrognathia using internal distraction osteogenesis simultaneously. ⋯ Unilateral TMJ ankylosis accompanying with micrognathia and OSAHS can be treated effectively by distraction osteogenesis simultaneously. The operation is simple with low risk. The course of treatment can be simplified and the operation times can be reduced.
