Designing of natural product-like compounds using natural products as template structures is an important strategy for the discovery of new drugs. Gambogic acid (GA), which is a Garcinia natural product with a unique caged xanthone scaffold, inhibits potent antitumor activity both in vitro and in vivo. This review summarized the researches on the identification of the antitumor pharmacophore of GA, and the design, structural optimization and structure-activity relationship (SAR) of natural product-like caged xanthones based on it.

Poly ( aspartic acid-co-leucine) was synthesized, modified via ethylenediamine, conjugated with 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) and finally chelated with gadoliniumⅢ, yielding PL-A2-DOTA-Gd. The T1-relaxivity (15. 3 mmol-1 ·L·s-1 ) of PL-A2-DOTA-Gd was 2. 6 times than that of Gd-DOTA (5. 8 mmol-1·L·s-1) in D2O. The results of magnetic resonance imaging experiments showed significant enhancement in the rat liver after intravenous administration of PL-A2-DOTA-Gd, which persisted longer than Gd-DOTA. The mean percentage enhancements of liver parenchyma were 65. 1%±5. 2%and 21. 3%±4. 9%, for PL-A2-DOTA-Gd and Gd-DOTA, respectively.

?AlM: To evaluate the clinical effects and security of posterior chamber implantable Collamer lens ( lCL ) implantation in patients with extreme highly myopia.
?METHODS:ln this study, 18 patients ( 32 eyes ) with extreme highly myopic patients who had undergone posterior chamber lCLs implantation from July 2010 to July 2013 were evaluated. Diopter -10. 5 ~ 19. 0D, and astigmia -0. 5 ~4. 5DC. Changes in intraocular pressure ( lOP ) , refraction, visual acuity and corneal endothelium, anterior chamber depth, iris, high arch, lens were noted at 1d, 1wk, 1, 3mo and 1a after surgery respectively, and follow-up was of 1a.
? RESULTS: Before surgery, the uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) were 0. 01~0. 05, and the best spectacle-corrected visual acuity ( BSCVA) were 0. 4 ~ 1. 0. One month after surgery, the UCVA were 0. 5~1. 2. The mean vault were 547±222 μm (95%CI 442~672μm) and 528±268μm (95%CI 354 ~635μm) for 1mo and 1a, respectively (P = 0. 81), and there was no significant difference. Anterior subcapsular opacities in 1 eye, mild and transient increase in lOP in 3 eyes, and chronic pigment dispersion in 2 eyes were observed. There was no serious complication.
?CONCLUSlON: Posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation is an effective and safe method for correcting patients with extreme highly myopia.

Heterokaryon incompatibility is a widespread phenomenon among fungi,controlled by specific loci termed het (for heterokaryon incompatibility).This review focuses on recent developments in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of nonself recognition and the relationship between the death progresses of heterokaryon incompatibility and associated proteins in fungi.The deep research of heterokaryon incompatibility mechanism will hopefully reveal underlying principles of the evolution of nonself recognition systems and will find some effective method for settling the instability of protoplast fusant of fungi.

AIMTo study the effect of ginkgolide B from Ginkgo leave on action potential (AP), L-type calcium current (I(Ca) - L) and delayed rectifier potassium current (I(K)) in normal and ischemic guinea pig ventricular myocytes.

METHODSWith the standard microelectrode technique to record action potential and whole-cell variant patch-clamp technique to record calcium and potassium current.

RESULTS(1) Under normal condition, ginkgolide B shortened APD and had no effect on RP, AP and V(max). Ginkgolide B also increased I(K) in a concentration dependent manner and had no significant effect on I(Ca) - L (2) Under ischemia condition, it was observed that shortening of APD, APA, decrease V(max) and depolarization of RP was induced by ischemia, but ginkgolide B could attenuate above--mentioned changes. (3) Under ischemia condition, I(Ca) - L and I(K) were inhibited, perfusion with ischemia solution containing ginkgolide B could reverse the decrease of I(Ca) - L and I(K).

CONCLUSIONGinkgolide B had protective effect on ischemic myocardium to prevent ischemic arrhythmia.

Due to the complicated pathogenesis of cardiac arrhythmia, the safe and effective therapeutic strategies for cardiac arrhythmia remain an urgent medical problems in the recent years. In this paper, we introduced the research practice of anti-arrhythmic agents targeting on potassium ion channel. The research progress of anti-arrhythmic agents in up-to-date literatures were also reviewed and prospected.
