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.

ObjectiveTo summarize the initial experience of transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery of urology.MethodsFrom February 2010 to March 2011,21 patients underwent laparoendoscopic single-site surgery using transumbilical single-site and common surgical instruments of laparoendoscopic.Nine patients underwent single-site laparoscopic ureterolithotomy,5 underwent transumbilical single-site laparoscopic ureteral stricture resection and anastomosis,5 underwent transumbilical single-site laparoscopic renalcyst unroofing and 2 had a nephrectomy.All of the cases were definitely diagnosed.A single umbilical incision of 1.5 cm to 2.5 cm was made for Triport.The procedures were performed according to the methods used in classical laparoscope methods using general instruments.ResultsAll the operations were successfully completed without conversion to open surgery.The mean operative time of ureterolithotomy was 143 (120-230) min,the mean operative time of ureteral stricture resection and anastomosis was 157 (120 -180) min,the mean operative time of unroofing of renal cysts was 110 (95 -132) min,and the operative time of the nephrectomy was from 95 to 120 min.The intestinal tract function recovered within 1 -2 d,the drainage tube was removed within 2 -3 d and the postoperative hospitalization duration was 4 -7 d.The symptoms were reduced or disappeared and no major intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred within 4 - 6 months.Conclusions Transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery represents a safe and feasible operation for urologic patients.With more clinical practice,laparoendoscopic single-site surgery could be generally applied.

Objective To explore the clinical application of the multi-network anatomical lavage on the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis after fracture surgery. Methods A retrospective analysis of 40 patients (41 sites) with chronic osteomyelitis after fracture surgery was performed from June 2006 to December 2008. There were 35 males and 5 females with an average of 42.7 years (range, 16-68). All 40 cases were treated with debridement, closing the cavity, and placing the multi-tube drainage network anatomical catheter lavage system. At the same time, sensitive antibiotics were used for 3 to 4 weeks. Rechecks were scheduled every 3 months after operation, including wound healing, X-ray presentation, ESR and C-reactive protein.Cure criteria depends on the conditions of the inflammation when the lavage treatment was over, and whether it relapsed six months after operation, including wound healing, systemic symptoms, ESR and C-reactive protein. Results Judged by the clinical outcomes when the lavage treatment was over and six months after operation, the effects were categorized into 3 levels, including excellent in 37 cases with primary wound healing, and without relapse six months later;, good in 2 with poor wound healing, the wound healed after a period of treatment without recurrence; poor in one with recurrent sinus infection and a prolonged unhealed wound, after another operation he was healed. 36 cases were treated with bone graft and internal fixation operation, and the fractures were healed after surgery, the fractures were healed directly in 4 cases without bone graft. The patients were followed up for an average of 43.2 months (range, 30-50) after operation, and none relapsed. Conclusion The multi-tube drainage network anatomical method is feasible and effective on the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis after fracture surgery with a high cure rate.

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.
