Objective To establish a HPLC/MS/MS method for the determinati on of gentiopicroside in human urine.Methods The urine sample was treated by solid-phase extraction with internal standard of caffeine;The RESCEK C8 colum n(150mm?2.1mm,5 ?m) was used as the analytical column with a mobilep hase consisting of methanol-10mmol? L-1 NH4AC buffer(pH=6.5)-acetonit rile(50∶40∶10,V/V),the flow rate was 0.2 mL? min-1;A triple quadruple tandem mass spectrometer was used as the detector,Electrospray ioniza tion source was applied and operated in positiveion mode.Gentiopicroside and caffeine were detected by monitoring the ion transition of m/z 374.1→ 195.2 and m/z 195.2→ 138.2 respectively.Results The linear range was 30～ 9000 ng?mL-1(r=0.9980) for gentiopicroside in human urine.The recovery was 91.10% ～ 9 6.21 %,The absolute recovery was 100.52% ～ 103.83%,The within-day and between-day precisions were less than 10 %.Conclusion The method is proved to be sensitive,accurate,rapid,specific.

With the advanced development of information technology, there is a huge impact on various industries for the arrival of big data. In the biomedical field, innovative genome sequencing technology enables low-cost, high-throughput, and high-speed to become a reality, which leads to an explosive growth in data and also appeared in an urgent need to process those massive biological information. High performance computing (HPC) along with effective methods is one of the best ways to deal with the problem of big data in biomedical field which could serve the biomedical development best. We discussed the issues faced in biomedical big data processing and concluded that the bioinformatics is an indispensable component of biomedical technologies.

Objective We established a rapid detection method of Pasteurella spp.and provided a reference for microbiological quality control of laboratory animal .Methods According to the β subunit of bacterial RNA polymerase ( rpoB) protein multiple alignments of 13 different Pasteurella spp.published in NCBI .The degenerate primers were designed by CODEHOP designer online .CODEHOP PCR method was applied to detecting Pasteurella spp.after the specificity and sensitivity of the method had been evaluated by 21 reference strains .Results Standard strain amplified fragment were about 200 bp by degenerate primers PastF6/PastR5.The primers are able to distinguish between Pasteurella spp.and the other pathognic organisms of laboratory animal respiratory tracts .Sensitivity of this method were 0.2 pg/μL~2 pg/μL to different Pasteurella.The Pasteurella positive rate was 19.1% in 609 animal ' s respiratory samples .The accuracy of positive results was 100%through verifying by sequenced and blast .Conclusions The established method has good specificity and sensitivity .It can be used to detect Pasteurella spp.in animal samples .

Objective To establish a simple and rapid detection technique for Oncomelania infected with Schistosoma japonicum(SJ), with high sensitivity and good specificity .Methods The gene fragment of SJ was amplified by PCR , and cloned into the T-vector to construct positive-reference.An isothermal nucleic acid amplification reaction system for detecting Oncomelania infected with SJ was set up , and its sensitivity was analyzed by detecting positive-reference diluted according to geometric proportion , and its specificity by detecting the genomic DNA of relative samples .Then, a corresponding means of purifying nucleic acid was designed to assemble a reagent detecting Oncomelania infected with SJ . This reagent was validated by detecting Oncomelania samples.Results The 213 bp amplified products were obtained and used to construct recombination T-vector for positive reference .An isothermal nucleic acid amplification reaction system was set up for detecting Oncomelania infected with SJ , and the amplification results could be simply determined by color change, with better sensitivity and specificity .The reagents for detecting Oncomelania infected with SJ were assembled , which could detect samples containing only 1% infected Oncomelania.Conclusion A visible detection method for Oncomelania infected with SJ is successfully established and validated .

A systematic review was undertaken, including studies that evaluated the incidence of the blood system adverse events of Tripterygium wilfordii (TWP). Medline, Embase and the Cochrane library were searched for relevant studies, including RCT, cohort studies and case series, of patients treated with TWP published in English and Chinese from inception up until May 25th, 2013 with the keywords including "Tripterygium wilfordii", "toxicity", "reproductive", "side effect", "adverse", "safety" and "tolerability". Relevant information was extracted and the incidence of the blood system adverse events was pooled with MetaAnalyst software. Besides, subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed based on age, mode of medicine, observation time and disease system. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 49 articles were included in the meta-analysis, they were split into 54 researches incorporated in the analysis. There is a large degree of heterogeneity among the studies, so data was analyzed using random-effects model and the summary estimates of incidence of the blood system adverse events was 6.1%. The weighted combined incidence of three major blood system adverse events were white-blood cells decreasing 5.6% (95% CI, 4.3% - 7.3%), hemoglobin decreasing 1.7% (95% CI, 0.5% - 5.0%) and platelet decreasing 1.8% (95% CI, 1.0% - 3.1%), respectively . Sensitivity analyses based on 45 studies with high quality showed the combined value was close to the summary estimate of total 54 studies. The current evidence indicates that the incidence of the blood system adverse events induced by TWP was high; attentions should be paid on to the prevention and treatment of the blood system adverse events.

Objective To study and summarize the tumor-free technique points for coordinating the operations aiming at rejecting aggressive spinal tumors by microwave and hyperthermia induced method. Methods 12 cases of patients with malignant bone tumors were performed with operations for rejecting tumor, using tumor-free technique to avoid cross infection, protect normal tissue nearby and prevent complications effectively. Results 12 cases of operations were successfully performed, no metastasis Was seen, no adjacent tissue injury and peri-operative complications occurod. Conclusions Microwave-induced hyperthermia in management of aggressive spinal bone tumors can increase the post-operative living-quality of patients, make both medical staff and patients satisfied and reach anticipated effect.
