By using a combination of various chromatographic techniques including column chromatography over silica gel and Pharmadex LH-20 and reversed-phase HPLC, two minor new compounds, labda-12, 14-dien-6beta, 7alpha, 8beta, 17-tetraol (1), 2, 3-cis-6-acetyl-5-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethylvinyl)-2, 3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-ol angelate (2), and a minor new natural product 6-methoxy-4-methyl-3, 4-dihydro-2H-naphthalen-1-one (3) have been isolated from an ethanolic extract of Heteroplexis micocephala. Their structures were elucidated with spectroscopic data analysis including 2D NMR experiments.

Ten compounds were isolated from the 70% ethanol extract of linseed meal (Linum usitatissimum L) through a combination of various chromatographic techniques, including silica gel, macroporous adsorbent resin, Sephadex LH-20, and preparative HPLC. On the basis of spectroscopic data analysis, they were elucidated as 1-methylethyl-2-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1" --> 6')-beta-D-glucopyanoside (1), linustatin (2), neolinustatin (3), lotaustralin (4), linamarin (5), deoxyguanosine (6), deoxyadenosine (7), (+)-pinoresinol-4'-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (8), 4-O-beta-D-glucopyranosylvanillyl alcohol (9) and tachioside (10), separately. Among them, compound 1 is a new compound, and compounds 6, 8 and 10 were isolated from the linseed meal for the first time.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of isolated epidural hematoma (EDH) in children.Methods Clinical data of 83 children,45 males and 38 females (at age of 0.7-14 years),with EDH treated between January 2012 and October 2014 were retrospectively reviewed.Slipping and falling were the most commonly causes of injury.While motor-vehicle accident was noted with increased age.In 16 patients lesion of hematoma was frontal,in 28 patients temporal,in 13 patients parietal,in 9 patients occipital and in 17 patients posterior fossa.Results Of the 28 patients treated surgically,the outcome evaluated using the Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS) was good in 22 patients,mild disability in 2,moderate and severe disability in 1 and death in 3 (one died of venous sinus rupture and one large area infarction).Of the 55 patients treated conservatively,the outcome was good in 52 patients,mild disability in 1,and death in 2 (both presented with bilateral cerebral hernia on admission and one of them was unable to breath spontaneously).Conclusions Overall prognosis of the patients with isolated EDH in children is excellent.Complications of venous sinus rupture,foramen magnum hernia and large area cerebral infarction may contribute to poor prognosis.

A piece of news was introduced into pharmacology course examination.Students were asked to make comments on the news based on pharmacology knowledge or principles.All points of view were summarized and given back to the students after the examination. The right way to answer the question was discussed and a consensus on the answer was reached.lt was indicated that the teaching method in the trial is helpful for improvement of students' overall analytical skills.

Objective To report the clinical observation and nursing points for recurrent or refractory and aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with MINE regimen. Methods Patients (46 cases) with recurrent or refractory and aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were given mental nursing,preparation and evaluation of the condition of patients before chemotherapy. Complications especially extravasation of infusion fluid should be prevented during chemotherapy and myelosuppression and long-term complications should be prevented after treatment. Results No patient died after treatment but several complications such as infection(14 cases), nausea and vomiting (grade Ⅰ～Ⅱ, 22 cases, grade Ⅲ,2 cases), alopecia (grade Ⅰ～Ⅱ, 27 cases), mucositis (grade Ⅰ～Ⅱ, 4 cases), liver function lesion (grade Ⅱ, 1 case) were found and improved after proper treatment. No nephrotoxicity and hemorrhagic cystitis were found. Conclusions Selective mental nursing,proper chemotherapy preparation,evaluation of patients' condidtion and positively prevention of chemotherapy-related complications could increase the chemotherapy effect of patients with recurrent or refractory and aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

It designs a way that can easily screen high-pyruvate-producing strain.It is a intelligently selected method which can highly improve the efficiency of strain screening.The principle can be described as the following:On the CaCO-3 medium,a transparent ring can be exhibited based on the reaction of PYR produced by the strain and CaCO-3 in the medium for pyruvate-calcium is a kind of soluble substance,it is obviously that the high-pyruvate-producing strain has a bigger dimension of the transparent ring.On the other hand,color reaction between TTC and ADH indicate the enzyme activities which have a proportional relation with color,our object strain is a weak-ADH-enzyme-activities type with a weak metabolic flux from PYR to alcohol.So the white color strain may be the right choice.

Objective To investigate the association of angiotensinogen(AGT)gene A-6G、T174M and G-217A polymorphisms with the risk of essential hypertension(EH)in the elderly of Han nationality.Methods Genotypes of AGT gene A-6G,T174M and G-217A polymorphisms in 177 aged EH patients and 86 sex and age-matched controls were analyzed with gene chip technology.Results The A-6G and T174M polymorphisms of AGT gene were significantly associated with EH.The numbers of the three genotypes of A-6G were 113,58 and 6 in the patient group and 70,15 and 1 in the control group(P= 0.014)and those of T174M were 94,77 and 6,60,25 and 1(P=0.031),respectively.G-217A polymorphism was not related to EH.Individuals carrying A-6G AA and T174M CC genotypes showed 57% and 56% lower risk of EH(OR=0.43;95%CI=0.23-0.82 and OR=0.44;95%CI=0.25-0.79, respectively).Conclusions The A-6G AA and the T174M CC genotype may be related with decreased risk of EH and G-217A polymorphism may have little role in the etiology of EH in Han nationality.

Aim To investigate the effects of perindopril, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, on mean pulmonary arterial pressure(mPAP) and pulmonary vascular remodeling.Methods Using the normobaric hypoxia-hypercapnia rat model,the changes of plasma angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ), mPAP and ultrastructure of pulmonary arteriolar wall were observed after administration of perindopril.Results The mPAP and AngⅡ were significantly greater and the ultrastructure of the small lung vessels had a more obvious change in the 4 weeks hypoxia-hypercapnia group than those in the control group.It was also found that perindopril decreased AngⅡ, declined mPAP and ameliorated vascular ultrastructure change.But the change of ultrastructure was similar in the 8 weeks hypoxia-hypercapnia group and perindopril treatment group.Conclusion It is suggested that chronic hypoxia-hypercapnia should induce the remodeling of pulmonary arteriolar structure via AngⅡ and that perindopril could ease pulmonary vascular remodeling in early stage.
