Object To develop an improved RP-HPLC method for determining ferulic acid in the human serum. Methods The determination was carried on RP-HPLC, using Kromasil-C 18column, methanol-water-acetic acid (36.4∶63∶0.6) as mobile phase with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and at the detection wavelength of 322 nm, and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde was used as internal standard. The serum sample was deproteinized with acetonitrile to extract ferulic acid. Results The calibration curve showed good linearity over the range of 9.94-159.04 ng/mL (r=0.992 5). RSD was less than 10% within day and day-to-day, the average recovery was 99.77% and the minimal concentration in serum was 5 ng/mL. Conclusion This method, which is simple, rapid, sensitive, reproducible and low toxic, is appropriate for the quantitative determination of ferulic acid in the human serum.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of different treatment protocols in treating transient synovitis of the hip (TSH) in children and to optimize the clinical treatment strategy for this condition. Methods: Ninety kids with TSH were divided into a control group, a chiropractic group and a chiropractic plus foot bath group using the random number table method, with 30 cases in each group. The control group was treated with conventional traction; the chiropractic group was given chiropractic treatment based on the control group; the chiropractic plus foot bath group was given Chinese medicine foot bath based on the chiropractic group. Traction and foot bath were conducted once daily while chiropractic was done once every other day, all with 14 d as a treatment course for a total of two courses. Changes in the visual analog scale (VAS) score and range of motion (ROM) of the hip joint in the three groups were observed, and the efficacy was compared. Results: The total effective rate was 93.3% in the chiropractic plus foot bath group, versus 76.7% in the chiropractic group and 66.7% in the control group, and the total effective rate was notably higher in the chiropractic plus foot bath group than in the other two groups (both P<0.05). Respectively after the first and second treatment course, the VAS score decreased significantly in each of the three groups compared with that before treatment (all P<0.01), and the ROM of the hip joint in flexion increased significantly (all P<0.01). After two treatment courses, the VAS score was lower in the chiropractic plus foot bath group than in the other two groups (both P<0.05), and its ROM of the hip joint in flexion was larger than that in the other two groups (both P<0.05). Conclusion: Based on traction, chiropractic plus Chinese medicine foot bath can effectively reduce pain and improve motor function of the hip joint in treating TSH.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the curative effect of nasal type extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma by sequential chemotherapy combined radiotherapy compared with chemtherapy.
METHOD:
Fifty-seven cases of nasal type extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma confirmed by pathological morphology and immuno-histochemistry were divided into chemotherapy combined radiotherapy group (34 cases) or chemotherapy group (23 cases). Twenty-three patients in the chemotherapy group alternately applied CHOP, VDLP and MEOP regimen after each two treatments into the clinical observation; Chemotherapy combined radiotherapy group of 34 patients, in addition to the above chemotherapy, applied three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy of the primary site by linear accelerators. Then all of patients were ceased treatment and followed up 3-5 years.
RESULT:
(1) After treatment, effective rate of two groups was 91.2% and 87.0%, there was no obvious difference (P > 0.05); After follow up about 1 year, effective rate of two groups was 76.5% and 73.9%, there was no obvious difference (P > 0.05); (3) After follow up about 3 years and 5 years, disease free survival (DFS) of two groups was 61.3%, 47.6% and 43.5%, 21.4%, there was obvious difference (P < 0.05). (4) Long-term survival is closely related to treatment mode. (5) B symptoms, advanced (III, IV) stage, the International Prognostic Index (IPI), KPS scores were correlated with prognosis, and were independent prognostic factors.
CONCLUSION
Treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy for nasal type extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma had obvious curative effect and may improve long-term survival efficiently compared with chemotherapy alone.
