Objective: To investigate the chemical constituents in the twigs and leaves of Ervatamia hainanensis. Methods: The chemical constituents were isolated by silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and ODS columns, as well as RP-HPLC chromatography. Their structures were identified on the basis of physicochemical properties and spectral analyses. Results: Thirteen compounds were isolated and idenified as coronaridine (1), 19-heyneanine (2), 19-epi-heyneanine (3), coronaridine hydroxyindolenine (4), vobasine (5), ursolic acid (6), asiatic acid (7), 8α-hydroxypinoresinol (8), (+)-syringarosinol (9), ervatamisin [(-)-(7R, 7'R, 7″R, 8S, 8'S, 8″S)-4', 4″-dihydroxy-3, 3', 3″, 5-tetramethoxy-7, 9', 7', 9-diepoxy-4, 8″-oxy-8, 8'-sesquineolignan-7″, 9″-diol, 10], toddalolactone (11), threo-2, 3-bis-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxypheyl)-3-methoxy-propanol (12), and β-sitosterol (13). Conclusion: Compounds 6-8 and 10-12 are isolated from the plants of Ervatamia (A. DC.) Stapf for the first time, and compound 9 is firstly reported from E. hainanensis.

Objective: To investigate the effects of neferine ( Nef ) on the learning and memory function and the expression of Notch1 and SYN in hippocampus in the rats with chronic cerebral ischemia .Methods:Male SD rats (250-300g) were randomly divid-ed into the sham operation group(Sham), the model group(Mod), nimodipine (Nim) positive control group and Nef treatment group with 5 ones in each .The chronic cerebral ischemia ( CCI ) model was established using bilateral common carotid artery ligation ( 2-VO).The rats were orally administered with NS(5 mg· kg-1),Nim(1 mg· kg -1) and Nef (20 mg· kg-1),respectively for 21 days after the first day of operation .The body weight was recorded .The number of hippocampal neurons in the rats was observed by Nissel staining.The learning and memory function was evaluated by Morris water maze test .Notch1 and SYN protein expressions in hippo-campus were detected by IHC staining and Western blot .Results:Compared with the Mod group , Nef group could reverse the reduc-tion of body weight and the number of hippocampal neurons in hippocampus CA 1 region induced by 2-VO, increase the route and the time of platform finding, prolong the escape latency and decrease the number of platform cross on the 21st day, and the effects were bet-ter than those of Nim (P<0.05).Moreover, the down-regulated SYN and Notch1 protein expressions in CCI group were both increase after the Nef treatment on the 21st day.Conclusion:Nef has a protective effect on the function of learning and memory in CCI rats in-duced by 2-VO,which may be related with the strengthened Notch 1 pathway in CA1 region of hippocampus and synaptic plasticity .

Microwave ablation is widely applied in clinical practice for its safety,minimal invasiveness and definite effectiveness.This technique,however,is still in the initial stage in the treatment of renal tumors.This article introduces the principles and development of the technique,as well as its experimental researches,clinical application and effect evaluation in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma.

Objective To study the physiological indexes of children receiving cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in order to provide some data for establishing the normal CPET reference value in Chinese children.Methods One hundred and twenty-eight healthy children underwent the CPET with the standard scheme.All children were divided into 3 groups according to ages:3-6 years old, ＞6-10 years old and ＞ 10-14 years old.The physiological indexes of CPET were collected, including maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max/kg) , oxygen uptake at anaerobic threshold (VO2/kg@AT), maximal tolerance power (Pmax), maximal heart rate (HRmax), peak respiratory minute volume to CO2 (peak VE/VCO2), slope of respiratory minute volume to CO2 (VE/VCO2 slope), maximal tidal volume (VTmax) and the maximal minute ventilation (VEmax).The range in normal values for physiological CPET variables was recorded.Results The VO2max/kg was (31.71 ± 7.31) mL/(min · kg), (31.05 ± 5.96) mL/(min · kg), and (34.10 ±8.72) mL/(min · kg) in the 3-6 years old group, ＞6-10 years old group and ＞ 10-14 years old group of boys.The VO2/kg@AT was (28.32 ± 10.20) mL/ (min · kg), (23.13 ± 9.56) mL/(min · kg), and (22.18 ± 7.72) mL/(min · kg)in the 3-6 years old group, ＞6-10 years old group and ＞ 10-14 years old group of boys.The VO2 max/kg was (29.27 ± 4.19) mL/(min · kg), (30.67 ± 5.59) mL/ (min · kg) (29.18 ± 6.56) mL/ (min · kg) in the 3-6 years old group, ＞ 6-10 years old group and ＞ 10-14 years old group of girls.The VO2@AT was (26.64 ±9.49) mL/(min · kg) ,(20.53 ±7.66) mL/(min · kg) ,(17.83 ±6.49) mL/(min · kg)in the 3-6 years old group, ＞6-10 years old group and ＞ 10-14 years old group of girls.VO2max/kg and VO2/kg@AT did not change with age,there was no gender difference in VO2max/kg(P ＞0.05).VO2/kg@AT of boys was higher than girls in the 3-6 years old group(t =2.351 ,P =0.023).The Pmax,VEmax and VTmax increased with the growth of age(boy: F =49.436,24.290,28.958, all P ＜ 0.001;girl : F =58.287,42.990,28.802, all P ＜ 0.001), but not significant in different gender group(P ＞ 0.05).In boys peak VE/VCO2, VE/VCO2 slope and HRmax were significantly different (F =4.758,P =0.012;F =8.050, P =0.001;F =3.869, P =0.026), however these indexes were not significantly different in girls(all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions This study provides a set of data for the most important CPET variables in Chinese children.VO2max/kg does not change with age,so it can be used as a valuable parameter in exercise ability evaluation.

Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell based on recently developed stem cell reprogramming technique holds great hope for regenerative medicine,in vitro disease modeling and drug evaluation.Recent progress on clinical hematology includes in vitro generation of hematopoietic progenitors and mature blood cells from somatic cells,iPS cells derived from chronic myeloid leukemia cells for the better understanding of the resistance mechanisms of bcr-abl inhibitor imatinib,and moreover,correction the monogenic inherited disease using gene-targeted strategies.However,whether the iPS cells can fully replace human embryonic stem cells still needs further investigation.
