Two diterpenoids from herbs of Huperzia serrata / 中国中药杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the constituents from Huperzia serrata.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Two diterpenoid compounds were isolated by column chromatography with silica gel and Sephadex LH-20. The structures were elucidated by spectral analysis and X-ray crystallographic analysis.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Their structures were determined as (15R)-12, 16-epoxy-11, 14-dihydroxy-8, 11, 13-abietatrien-7-one (1) and 3beta-hydroxysandaracopimaric acid (2).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Compound 1 was a new natural abietane-type diterpenoid, compound 2 was isolated from this plant for the first time.</p>

Immunologic Classification of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia: A Report of 19 Cases / 第二军医大学学报

Immunologic classification of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) was carried out by using 11 - 13 kinds of monoclonal antibodies against human leucocyte differentiation antigens in 19 cases. The results showed that of these 19 cases, there were T-ALL in 4, B-ALL in 4, C-ALL in 7, AUL in 2 and hybrid type of ALL (H-ALL) in 2. The 5 types mentioned above could also be classified, according to the immunologic criteria described by Foon in 1986, into 3 major groups: T-ALL, non-T-ALL and H-ALL. The Foon's classification method is useful for judgement of malignant cell source and differentiated stage, and for further understanding the nature of ALL cells.

Observation of Bone Marrow from Two Panmyelosis Leukemia Patients by Electron Microscopy and Cytochemistry / 第二军医大学学报

Bone marrow cells from 2 patients with panmyelosis leukemia were observed with transmission electron microscopy (TEM),scanning electron microscopy (SEM),myeloperoxidase (MPO) and platelet peroxidase (PPO).A lot of immature cells were found in the granulocytic, monocytic,erythrocytic and megakaryocytic series.Their major morphologic characteristics were as follows. In the erythrocytic series, petaloid-like and ball-like structure appeared and their perinuclear cisters were wider. In the myelomonocytic series, nuclear-cytoplasmic organelle asynchrony could be seen makedly and the nucleus appeared fully mature, but the cytoplasm contained only a few organelles, and in some cells the organells were often locally distributed. In the megakaryocytic series, many micromegakaryocytes were seen. In this paper, the ultrastructura] changes of four kinds of cells and their relationship with erythro-leukemia are also discussed.
