A new benzene derivative microintegerrin C (1) and a new norsesquiterpenoid microintegerrin D (2), along with six known compounds (3-8), were isolated and identified from stems and leaves of Micromelum integerrimum by various chromatographies such as silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, RP-18 column chromatography and HPLC. Their structures were mainly identified based on the spectral data analysis such as 1D-, 2D-NMR and HR-EI-MS. All known compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time.

Objective To explore whether human umbilical venous endothelial cells could be used as feeder layer to support the growth of embryonic stem cells (ESC) and keep ESC undifferentiated.Methods The venous vessels of umbilical cord obtained from healthy puerperal were perfused with collagenase.The isolated endothelial cells went through primary culture and passages for expansion.Factor Ⅷ antigens determination was implemented.Endothelial cells with good growth and 3 or above passages were treated with mitomycin-C(10 mg/L) and prepared as feeder layer,on which E14.1 ESC was transplanted for subculturing to observe the morphological characterization and determine ESC alkaline psphatase (AKP) activity and the expression of stem cell marker Oct-4.Severe combined immune deficiency(SCID) mouse in vivo terotoma formation experiment was performed to identify its pluripotent properties.Results Human umbilical vein-derived endothelial cells grew well in culturing in vitro and regenerate in large numbers.The endothelial cells maintained normal cellular morphological and biological characterization after 10 passages.The cells stopped proliferating after being treated with mitomycin-C,but its activity and morphological properties were well-maintained with 24 hours,which was a fundamental property of serving as feeder layer.E14.1 ESC remained undifferentiated in human umbilical venous endothelial cells after 3-8 passages,the cells grew in colony and showed high expression of AKP and stem cell Oct-4.In vivo pluripotency experiment showed that 6 weeks after being transplanted to SCID mice E14.1 ESC of 6 and 10 passages in endothelial cells both could form teratoma containing 3 layers of tissue cells.Conclusions Human umbilical venous endothelial cell serve as a convenient feeder layer cell with rich sources.It can effectively support ESC growth and heterogenous and prevent the heterogeneous protein pollution and pathogenic microorganisms caused by animal cell feeder layers,thus solve the problem of biological safety of ESC clinical application.

A new phenethanol, (2'R)-4-(2', 3'-dihydroxy-3'-methyl-butanoxy)-phenethanol (1), along with other eleven known benzene derivatives (2-12) were isolated from the roots, stems and leaves of Clausena excavata (Rutaceae). Compounds 3 and 4 are new natural products, and compounds 5-8, 10-12 were isolated from C. excavata for the first time. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of MS, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analyses including HSQC, COSY and HMBC experiments. 1 was tested for its cytotoxicities against A549, HeLa and BGC-823 cancer cell lines, and antimicrobial activities against Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus. The results showed that 1 did not exhibit cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities.

OBJECTIVETo study the differences in the toxicity of vinegar-processed Kansui Radix on normal and cancerous ascites model rats.

METHODNormal and cancerous ascites model rats were taken as the research objects and orally administered with different doses of vinegar-processed Kansui Radix for 7 d. Pathological sections were prepared to observe the damages in liver, stomach, intestinal tissues in rats and detect the impacts on serum, liver, stomach and intestinal tissues and the oxidative damage index.

RESULTCompared with the blank group, all of normal administration groups and model groups showed significant damages in liver, stomach and intestinal tissues. Compared with the model groups, all of normal administration groups revealed notable alleviation in damages. Compared with the blank group, the model groups showed significant increases in AST, ALT and MDA in serum and liver (P < 0.01) and a significant decrease in GSH in serum and liver, stomach, intestinal tissues (P < 0.01). Compared with the blank group, the results showed significant decreases in ALT, AST in serum and ALT in liver in model low, medium and high dose groups and AST activity in liver tissues in the normal high dose group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01); significant decreases in GSH in serum and stomach tissues in normal low, medium and high dose groups and GSH content in liver and intestinal tissues in normal medium and high dose groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01); notable rises in MDA in liver tissues in normal low, medium and high dose groups and MDA content in serum and stomach and intestinal tissues in normal medium and high dose groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Compared with model groups, data revealed significant decreases in ALT, AST in serum in model low, medium and high dose groups, AST in liver tissues of model medium and high dose groups and ALT activity in liver in the model high dose group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01); significant increases in GSH content in serum and stomach tissues of model low, medium and high dose groups, GSH in liver tissues in model medium and high dose groups and GSH in intestinal tissues in the high dose groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01); and notable declines in MDA content in serum in model low, medium and high dose groups, MDA in liver tissues of model medium and high dose groups and MDA in stomach and intestinal tissues the high dose group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONAccording to the study, vinegar-processed Kansui Radix showed a significant lower toxicity liver, stomach, and intestines of cancerous ascites model rats, which provided a basis for clinical safe application of vinegar-processed Kansui Radix based on symptom-based prescription theory.
