The antiapoptotic mechanisms of cell transplantation have been paid wide attention in the process of the treatment of cerebral ischemic injtry.The transplanted cells play their roles of mtiapoptotic effect through releasing growth factors and nutritional factors,direct bonding,promoting angiogenesis,and anti-inflammation.

Objective To explore the curative effect of stereotactic conformal radiotherapy (SCR) for extracranial tumors. Methods Eighty-six patients with extracranial tumors underwent SCR from May 1997 to August 2002. The clinical target volume (CTV) of tumors ranged from 0.2 cm3 to 232 cm3, with a mean of 27.6 cm3. The prescribed dose to the planning target volume (PTV) was 3～12 Gy (mean,5.3 Gy),which were prescribed in 1～10 fractions. Results No patient died during the treatment. Karnofsky performance scores (KPS) ranged 10～90 (mean,60) and 20～100 (mean,82) before and after the treatment. Follow-up for 1～5 years showed complete remittence (CR) in 25 cases, partial remittence (PR) in 49 cases, no change in 9 cases, and progressed in 3 cases. Conclusions SCR is an effective method in the management of extracranial tumors.

The aim of this study was to look for the chemical constituents from the rhizomes of Dryopteris sublaeta. The fresh plant was extracted twice with boiling water, the extract was concentrated to small volume under reduced pressure at 50 ℃. The concentrated material was partitioned with ether, ethyl acetate and n-butanol. The fraction of ethyl acetate was repeatedly chromatographied over silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 columns. Structures of pure compounds were established on the basis of their physiochemical and spectral data. Nine compounds were obtained and identified as sublaetentin A (1), sublaetentin B (2), sublaetentin C (3), sublaetentin D (4), matteuorienate A (5), matteuorienate C (6), arbutin (7), 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl-1-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (8) and 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl-1-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (9). Compounds 1-4 are new compounds, the others were isolated from this plant for the first time.

To study the chemical constituents from the leaves of Celastrus gemmatus Loes., chromatographic methods were used to isolate and purify the chemical constituents, their structures were elucidated by the physiochemical characteristics and spectral data. Nine compounds were obtained and identified as (-)-massoniresinol 3a-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), ambrosidine (2), isolariciresinol 9-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), kaempferol 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(astragalin) (4), kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside (5), kaempferol 3-O-neohesperidoside (6), apigenin 7-O-β-D-glucuronide (7), apigenin 7-O-β-D-glucuronide methyl ester (8) and D-sorbitol (9). Compound 1 is a new compound, the others are isolated from this genus for the first time, and this is the first time to report lignan compounds from genus Celastrus.

Aim To study the chemical constituents of Dryopteris sublaeta Ching et Hsu. Methods Fresh plant of Dryopteris sublaeta Ching et Hsu was extracted twice with boiling water, concentrated to small volume under reduced pressure at 50 ℃. The concentrated material was partitioned with ether, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol. The fraction of ethyl acetate extract was chromatographed over macroporous adsorption resin (Diaion HP-20) eluted with a mixture of H2O and MeOH in increasing MeOH content.Their fractions from resin were repeatedly chromatographed over Toyopearl HW-40, Sephadex LH-20 and silica gel column chromatography. The compounds were identified on the basis of their physiochemical and spectral data. Results Four compounds were obtained and identified as 3,5-dihydroxy-stilbene-3-O-neohesperidoside ( 1 ), 3,5-dihydroxy-stilbene-3-O-β-D-glucoside ( 2 ), polydotin peceid (3) and 3,5,4'-trihydroxy-bibenzyl-3-O-β-D-glucoside (4). Conclusion Compound 1 is a new compound, the others were isolated from Dryopteris for the first time.

Object To study the "floating sugar" mechanism in the root of Achyranthes bidentata Bl. Methods The important influent factors were analyzed by orthogonal test. Results The primary and secondary orders of influent factors were surrounding temperature, relative humidity, raw drug moisture. The best preservative condition: surrounding temperature is 25 ℃, relative humidity 60% and drugs moisture 11%. Conclusion Raw drugs can be stored safely when surrounding temperature is below 35 ℃, relative humidity below 70%, raw drug moisture between 9% and 13%.
