SUMMARY 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. On the 3rd postoperative day, he complained of weakness of his left upper extremity and could not raise his left arm. The symptom aggravated in the next few days. On the 9th postoperative day, there was an obvious motor deficit of both upper and lower extremities. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated abnormal signal characteristics consistent with a hematoma at levels C3-C4, compressing spinal cord. The clot was evacuated during emergency revision surgery, and the postoperative course after the operation was uneventful and the muscle strength was improved five days later. 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.

Objective To clarify the mechanism of Yifeiqinghua granules on tumor angiogenesis and tumor inhibition by observing its influence on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor KDR in Lewis lung cancer mice. Methods Eighty C57BL/6 inbred mice subcutaneously planted with Lewis tumor cell suspension 0.2 mL were randomly divided into 8 groups:blank group, control group, low-, medium- and high-dose of Yifeiqinghua granules groups, Gefitinib group, Gefitinib plus medium-dose of Yifeiqinghua granules group and CTX group, 10 mice in each group. Drugs were administrated from the second day. CTX group was administered on third day and seventh day, other groups were administered for 14 days. The mice were killed to take the tumor on the 15th days. VEGF and KDR expression in tumor tissue was measured by Western Blot. Results Compared with the blank group, the expression of VEGF was significantly decreased in the low- and medium-dose of Yifeiqinghua granules groups (P<0.01). Gefitinib group’s VEGF value was lower than the blank group (P<0.05). Compared with the blank group, the expression of VEGF was significantly decreased in the high-dose of Yifeiqinghua granular group, Gefitinib plus medium-dose of Yifeiqinghua granules group and CTX group (P<0.001). Compared with the blank group, the expression of KDR was significantly decreased in the low-, medium- and high-dose of Yifeiqinghua granules groups, Gefitinib group and CTX group (P<0.05). Conclusions The possible mechanism of Yifeiqinghua granules in treating non-small cell lung cancer is reducing the expression of VEGF and KDR, thus play an inhibitory effect.
