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 investigate ht e clinical characteristics and treatment of children with acute laryn gitis comlp icated with negative pressure pulmno ary edema(NPPE),and the changes of inflammatory factosr w ere monitored.Methods Data of 9 cases with acute laryngitis complicated with NPPE in pediatric intensive care unit from August 2010 to March 2015 we re analyzde .The levelso f TNF -αand IL-6 of 8 cases were detected at admission and checked agani forty-eihg t horu s after therapy.Ten children of acute laryngitis wi thotu NPPE were selected as disease cotn rol group, and ten healthy children as normal control group. Results (1)The onset of NPPE varied from 8 minutes to 2 hours following relief of obstruction,and presen-ted with acute respiratory disrt ess, decreased xo ygen saturation, tachycardai , rales on chest auscultation.All thees patients received therapeutic measures icn luding mechna ical ventilation,limiting the fluid input volume. The disappearance of rales on chest auscultation varied from 6 hours to 30 hours.Duration of mechanical ven-tilation was lse s than 48 hours,and all the children were cured.(2) Compared with the children of disease control group and normal control group,in acute phase the plasma levels fo TNF-αand IL-6 in children with NPPE were significantly higher ( P<0.01 ) .The indicators of NPPE group significantly decreased after 48 hours therapy( P<0.01 ) .Conclusion NPPE is manifested by rapid onset of respiratory distress after relief of the airway obstruction.The symptoms resolve rapidly if early support of breath and limiting the fluid input volume are applied properly.The inflammatory response is one of the possible mechanisms of NPPE.

Objective To investigate the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 ( TLR4 ) and nuclear factor-κB ( NF-κB) in patients with critically severe hand, foot and mouth disease ( HFMD) and to evaluate the effects of esmolol intervention on those patients.Methods Fifty-two hospitalized children with critically severe HFMD in the Intensive Care Unit of Xuzhou Children′s Hospital were enrolled in the study from May 2014 to May 2015 and randomly divided into two groups, represented as group A and group B.Children in the group A were given routine treatment, while those in the group B were treated with esmolol in addition to the routine therapy.Thirty children with common HFMD were selected as disease control, and thirty healthy children were set up as normal control.Differences in the expression of TLR4, NF-κB, TNF-αand IL-6 among all children were comparatively analyzed.The levels of TLR4, NF-κB, TNF-αand IL-6 in children from groups A and B were detected after 24 hours, 72 hours and five days of treatment and the differences betweenthetwogroupswereanalyzed.Results (1)Comparedwiththechildrenfromdiseasecontroland normal control groups, those with critically severe HFMD showed significantly increased expression of TLR4, NF-κB, TNF-αand IL-6 (P<0.01).(2)No significant differences in the expression of TLR4, NF-κB, TNF-αand IL-6 were found between the two subgroups of children with critically severe HFMD before treat-ment (all P>0.05).The expression of TLR4, NF-κB, TNF-αand IL-6 in children from both subgroups were significantly decreased after receiving corresponding treatments for 24 hours, 72 hours and five days (all P<0.05).Compared with the children form group A, those from group B showed significantly decreased expression of NF-κB, TNF-αand IL-6 after 24 and 72 hours of corresponding treatments (all P<0.05).No significant difference in the expression of TLR4 was observed between the two subgroups after 24 and 72 hours of corresponding treatments (P>0.05).No significant differences in those observed indicators were found between the two subgroups after five days of treatments (all P>0.05).Conclusion The TLR4/NF-κB/proinflammatory factor pathway might play an important role in the development of critically severe HFMD.Treatment with esmolol could inhibit the expression of NF-κB, reduce the secretion of inflammatory factors and alleviate the inflammatory reaction during critically severe HFMD.

BACKGROUND:The incidence rate of peripheral T cel lymphoma is high in Asia, and peripheral T cel lymphoma is aggressive with generaly poor prognosis. However, there is no standard treatment strategy. OBJECTIVE:To retrospectively analyze the therapeutic effect of autologous hematopoietic stem cel transplantation on peripheral T cel lymphoma as wel as relevant toxic and side effects. METHODS:A retrospective review was conducted in 35 patients with peripheral T cel lymphoma who underwent autologous hematopoietic stem cel transplantation from March 2003 to April 2014, including 22 cases of extranodal NK/T-cel lymphoma (nasal type), 1 case of angioimmunoblastic T-cel lymphoma, 8 cases of peripheral T cel lymphoma (non-specific), 3 cases of ALK-positive anaplastic large cel lymphoma, and 1 case of ALK-negative anaplastic large cel lymphoma. Al of 35 patients were classified pathologicaly according to WHO pathological type in 2001 and 2008, and received the high-dose chemotherapy with vincristine, cytarabine, etoposide, mitoxantrone, semustine, cyclophosphamide, and total body irradiation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After a median folow-up of 54 (9-120) months, the probabilities of overal survival and disease-free survival after transplantation were 80% (n=28) and 71% (n=25), respectively. Eight cases (23%) relapsed after transplantation, seven of which died. It was safe with mild and moderate transplantation related side-effects on opportunistic infections, oral cavity mucosa and bladder responses and so on, and there were no severe, life-threatening late complications. Autologous hematopoietic stem cel transplantation may be an effective and safe treatment for peripheral T cel lymphoma, and there is a better benefit in peripheral T cel lymphoma patients with first complete remission.
