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.

OBJECTIVETo record the electrical activities of Antirior cingulate cortex (ACC) neurons by in vivo multi-channel recording methods using the model of complete freund's adjuvant (CFA) induced conditioned place avoidance (C-CPA), which has been set up in our previous studies.
METHODSThe electrode was self-made and the CPA responses were recorded by in vivo multi-channel recording method.
RESULTS(1) The electrical activities of ACC neurons could be successfully recorded by the self-made electrode. (2) Before or after the injection of CFA, rats were respectively conditioned to the different place. The firing rates of ACC neurons in the CFA-paired place vs that in the non-CFA-paired place was (0.853 ± 1.377) imp/s vs (0.221 ± 0.971) imp/s (P < 0.05, n = 26). (3) The CPA responses in the CFA-paired place vs that in the non-CFA-paired place were (303.55 ± 61.77)s vs (140.32 ± 33.52)s(P < 0.05, n = 6).
CONCLUSIONThe firing rates of rACC (rostral Anterior Cingulate Cortex) neurons were involved in the occurrence of the affective pain.

Objective To establish a rat model of bone cancer pain by intra-tibia inoculation of Walker 256 mammary gland carcinoma cells. Methods Sixty female Wistar rots weighing 180-200 g were randomly divided into 4 groups (a=15each):groupⅠ normal control; group Ⅱsham operation; group Ⅲtumor cell inoculation + normal saline (NS) and group Ⅳtumor cell inoculation + flurbiprofen. NS 0.2 nd and flurbiprofen 10 mg/kg in 0.2 ml were injected IV at 2 h before determination of pain threshold on 14 and 17 d after inoculation oftumor cells in groupⅢand Ⅳ respectively. On day 0, 4, 7, 10, 14, 17 and 21 after inoculation pain threshold was measured after determination of body weight. X-ray examination of the tibia was performed on day 14 after inoculation. The animals were killed on day 21 after inoculation for microscopic examination of the inoculated tibia. Results The animals started losing weight and the threshold to yon Frey hair stimulation was decreased from dhy 10 after inoculation in group Ⅲand Ⅳ. X-ray examination showed destruction of bone and microscopic examination showed tumor growing in tibia. Flurbiprofen significantly decreased mechanical hyperalgesia in group Ⅳ. There was no significant difference in paw withdrawal latoney to radiant heat among the 4 groups. Conclusion A model of bone cancer pain can be made by inoculation of Walker 256 mammary gland carcinoma cells into tibia characterized by mechanical hyperalgesia.
