Background: Paramyotonia congenita (PMC) stands as a rare sodium channelopaty of skeletal muscle, initially identified by Eulenburg. The identification of PMC often relies on electromyography (EMG), a diagnostic technique. The child's needle EMG unveiled trains of myotonic discharges with notably giant amplitudes, alongside irregular wave trains of myotonic discharges.

Objective: To investigate the effect of decalicified dental matrix (DDM) on healing of traumatic fracture and its side-effect.
Methods: From June 1997 to December 1998, 42 patients with closed traumatic long bone fracture (36 males and 6 females, aged from 18 to 57 years with an average of 32 years) were divided into two groups randomly; open reduction and internal fixation were carried out in all patients, but the DDM was used only in experimental group. After operation, the body temperature, ALT, and bone union time were observed and recorded.
