Objective To investigate the differences in acute mountain sickness between individuals en-tering the plateau for the first time and those with multiple plateau experiences,and to examine the impact on psychological stress.Methods A total of 2 337 young plateau-acclimatized individuals from an acclimatization rotation area during November 2023 to January 2024 were selected as the study subjects.Those entering the plateau for the first time were classified into Group A(n=425),while those with previous plateau experience(at least one prior visit)were classified into Group B(n=1 912).Differences were analyzed between the two groups in terms of general characteristics,as well as acute mountain sickness(AMS)scores,Self-Rating De-pression Scale(SDS)scores,Symptom Checklist-90(SCL-90)scores,and various vital signs at the following time points:before entering the plateau(T0),on the 1st day(T1),4th day(T2),7th day(T3),and 10th day(T4)after entering the plateau.Results Group A was younger than Group B,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).At T1,T2,and T3,AMS scores in Group A were significantly higher than those in Group B(P<0.05).At T4,there was no statistically significant difference in AMS scores between the two groups(P>0.05).At T1,T2,and T3,blood oxygen saturation was lower and heart rate higher in Group A than in Group B,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).After high-altitude acclimatization,no statistically significant differences in blood oxygen saturation or heart rate were observed between the groups at T4(P>0.05).At T1,there were no statistically significant differences in systolic or diastolic blood pres-sure between the groups(P>0.05).At T2,both systolic and diastolic blood pressure were higher in Group A than in Group B(P<0.05).At T3 and T4,after high-altitude acclimatization,systolic blood pressure de-creased in both groups but remained higher in Group A than in Group B(P<0.05).On the SDS scale,men-tal-emotional and somatic symptom scores were significantly higher in Group A than in Group B(P<0.001).On the SCL-90,all nine symptom factor scores were higher in Group A than in Group B(P<0.05).Conclusion Indi-viduals entering high-altitude areas for the first time experience more severe acute mountain sickness and more pronounced psychological stress.Therefore,enhanced monitoring,psychological counseling,and tailored pre-vention and treatment strategies should be implemented.

Objective: To study the chemical constituents of endophytic fungus Alternaria solani from Aconitum transsectum. Methods: The compounds were isolated and purified by column chromatography , and their structures were elucidated based on the spectroscopic analysis (1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and MS).Results:Totally 15 compounds were isolated from A.solani and characterized as 20-hydroxyl-ergosta-4,6,8(14),22-tetraen-3-one(1),ergone(2),stellasterin(3),episterol(4),ergosterol peroxide(5),cyclo(D)-Pro-(D)-Leu(6),cyclo-(L-Val-L-Pro)(7),cyclo-(S-Pro-S-Ile)(8),tentoxin(9),porrotoxin(10),7-dehydroxyl-zinniol(11),zinniol (12),8-zinniol methyl ether (13),3-methoxy-4-methyl-5-(3′,3′-dimethylallyloxy)-2-methoxymethyl benzoic acid (14) and pseudo-monas aeruginosa H2-sesquiterpene lactone (15).Conclusion: Totally 15 compounds are isolated from endophytic fungus Alternaria solani, and compounds 2-10 and 12-15 are isolated for the first time .

Objective:To study the chemical constituents in the roots of Aconitum transsectum. Methods:The compounds were i-solated and purified by column chromatography on the columns of silica gel, Al2 O3 and Sephadex LH-20, and their structures were elu-cidated on the basis of spectroscopic evidence ( MS and NMR) . Results:Totally 12 compounds were isolated from A. transsectum, and characterized as yunaconitine (1), indaconitine (2), crassialine A (3), 8-deacetylyunaconitine (4), talatisamine (5), chasma-conitine (6), 14-acetyltalatisamine (7), vilmoraconitine (8), sachaconitine (9), 14-acetylsachaconitine (10), acoforestinine (11) and vilmorrianine C (12). Conclusion:Compounds 8-11 are obtained from A. transsectum for the first time.

Objective:To study the chemical constituents of Aconitum straminiflorum. Methods:The air-dried roots of A. stra-miniflorum were powdered and extracted three times with 90% ethonal under reflux. After the removal of the solvent under reduced pressure,the crude extract was dissolved in 1. 5% HCl solution(7 L). The acidic solution was basified to pH 9. 0 with ammonia (25%)and extracted with CHCl3 to obtain crude extract of total alkaloids after the removal of CHCl3 . The compounds were isolated and purified by column chromatography and identified based on spectral analysis( MS,1 H-üMR and 13 C-üMR). Results:Totally 7 compounds were isolated from A. straminiflorum,and characterized as aconosine(1),13-deoxyludaconitine(2),dolaconine(3), ezochasmanine(4),talatisamine(5),scopaline(6)and cammaconine(7),respectively. Conclusion:Seven diterpenoid alkaloids are isolated from A. Straminiflorum for the first time.
