Objective]To compare the efficacy and safety of retroperitoneal laparoscopic intrasinusal pyelolithotomy (RLIP) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL)in the treatment of solitary renal pelvic stone.[Methods]From March 2012 to September 2016,101 patients with solitary renal pelvic stone,divided into RLIP group(n=46)and PCNL group(n=55),were retrospectively analyzed to compare the difference between the two groups in clinical curative effect.[Results]There was no difference between the two groups regarding age,sex,stone side and stone size. Although the operative time was significantly longer,the stone-free rate in the RLIP group was significantly higher than that in the PCNL(P < 0.05). The postoperative complication of urinary tract infection was lower in the RLIP group (P < 0.05),however ,no significant difference was found in postoperative discharge time ,fever (>38.5℃)and the decrease values of hemoglobin and glomerular filtration rate.[Conclusion]Compared to PCNL,RLIP was more efficient and slight safer in the management of solitary renal pelvic stone ,and had a certain value for generalization in clinic.

Objective To investigate serum lipid profiles in newly diagnosed patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) using lipidomics and correlate these features with hyperinsulinemia and hyperandrogenism associated with PCOS and obesity. Methods 32 newly-diagnosed PCOS women and 34 controls were enrolled and divided into obese and lean subgroups according to the body mass index (BMI). Anthropometric, biochemical, and hormonal parameters were collected. Serum lipid profiles including phospholipids, free fatty acids (FFAs), and bioactive lipids were analyzed using GC-MS and LC-MS. Results PCOS patients, in particular, the obese ones with fatty liver, have abnormal phosphatidylcholine (PC)/lysophospholipid (LPC) metabolism. PC was increased (16∶0, 18∶0, 18∶1, 18∶2, and 20∶4), while LPC was decreased (16∶0, 18∶0, and 18∶1; all P<0.05). Serum polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), were decreased significantly, and the long chain saturated fatty acid was increased. We also found that insulin stimulated the metabolism of PUFAs, but the androgen inhibits the metabolism of PUFAs by measuring their metabolites. Conclusion PCOS patients have metabolic disorders of phospholipids and PUFAs. Insulin stimulated while androgen inhibited PUFAs metabolism.
