Objective To investigate the chemical constituents of marine sponge A gelas mauritiana collected from the South China Sea .Methods The n-butanol extract of marine sponge A gelas mauritiana was separated and purified by repeated column chromatography on silica gel ,Sephadex LH-20 ,and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) .The chemical structures of those obtained compounds were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and com-parison with reported data .The tumor cell growth inhibitory activity of these compounds towards human lung carcinoma cells A549 was tested .Results Eight compounds were isolated ,including agelasine A (1) ,agelasine B (2) ,epi-agelasine C (3) , (-)agelasine D (4) ,agelasine E (5) ,agelasine F (6) ,(-)ageloxime D (7) and aurantiamide acetate (8) .These compounds dis-played different level of tumor cell growth inhibitory activity towards cell A 549 in vitro .Compounds 1-3 showed significant ac-tivity towards cell A549 ,being similar to that of the positive control of adriamycin .Conclusion Compounds 1 ,2 ,4 ,5 ,6 ,8 were isolated for the first time from the sponge A gelas mauritiana .Cell A549 was selected for the first time for the activity evalua-tion of compounds 1~7 .Significant inhibition activity of compounds 2、3 may hold as a basis for further research .

Objective To explore the effectiveness of virtual autopsy-based postmortem computed tomography(PMCT)liver three dimensional slicer(3D slicer)artificial intelligence(AI)volume reconstruction to assist forensic practice.Methods Twenty cases of the deceased who underwent both virtual autopsy and traditional autopsy in our center were selected and subjected to liver volume segmentation by 3D slicer method,Tada's formula method and literature method,and the data obtained from the traditional autopsy were compared and analyzed to obtain the accuracy rate.Results The 3D slicer method yielded higher consistency(95%confidence interval),lower volumetric variability(standard deviation),and a smaller region(variance)of uncertainty than the Tada formula method and the methods mentioned in the literature.Conclusion 3D slicer AI reconstruction based on virtual autopsy can visualize virtual anatomy,help increase the diagnostic accuracy of traditional autopsy,assist in pathological diagnosis,and provide new directions and tools for the development of imaging histology of virtual autopsy.
