Phytochemical investigation of the roots of Scrophularia buergeriana Miq. (Scrophulariaceae), resulted in the isolation of a new iridoid derivative named as buergerinin (1). Its structure was elucidated as rel-(1R, 5R, 6R)-(2-oxa-bicyclo[3.3.0]oct-7-en-6, 7-diyl)dimethoxypropane based mainly on MS and 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analyses.

Objective To compare the similarities and differences between the esophageal mucosa lesion pathology before and after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).Methods A total of 110 patients diagnosed as having esophageal mucosal lesions by endoscopic biopsy were treated with ESD at Zhejiang cancer hospital from 2013 to 2014.The results of preoperative and postoperative pathology were compared.Results The consistency rate of preoperative biopsy and postoperative pathologic diagnosis was 61.8％ (68/110).Compared with preoperative pathology,the postoperative pathological results underestimated accounted for 30％ (33/110),the postoperative pathological results overestimated accounted for 8.2％ (9/110).In early esophageal cancer group,consistency rate of preoperative biopsy and postoperative pathologic diagnosis was 75.0％ (18/24),which was higher than that of intraepithelial neoplasia group[58.1％ (50/86)] with significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Preoperative biopsy is not necessarily consistent with postoperative pathology.Though preoperative pathological diagnosis has certain value,it can not completely represent the nature of the lesions.The patients with intraepithelial neoplasia should be actively treated with ESD combined with clinical experiences to get the accurate diagnosis.

Objective To explore the effect of adriamycin on the characteristics of colony derived from human adrenal cortical carcinoma cells (ACC) SW-13.Methods Treatment with Adriamycin (ADM) was used in BALB/c-nude mouse tumor xenograft model established using the ACC cell line SW-13.The characteristic of colony was assessed for the formation rates,the percentagc of three colony types and growth curve of single cell.Hoechst33342 dyeing test was used to test drug resistance.Results The Single-cell colony formation rate of experimental group were significantly higher than control group (P ＜ 0.05),and the holoclone percentage of experimental group were significantly higher than control group (P ＜ 0.05).In the Hoechst33342 dyeing tcst,the fluorescence intensity of control was higher than experimental group.Conclusion The treatment of ADM in vivo is beneficial for the colony formations of ACC cell and the formations rate of holoclone,and can improve the ability of drug resistance of ACC cell SW-13.
