ABSTRACT
The medulla oblongata is located at the lower end of the brain stem, and it has abundant blood supply. The incidence of medial medullary infarction is low in cerebrovascular diseases. Bilateral medial medullary infarction is even rare. Bilateral medial medullary infarction is mainly characterized by paralysis. The respiratory failure can occur in severe cases. Magnetic resonance diffusion imaging can present aheartorYshaped lesion. We treated 1 patient with a typicalYshaped bilateral medial medullary infarction.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study chemical constituents contained in Aeschynanthus moningeriae.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The chemical constituents were separated and purified by column chromatographic methods such as Diaion HP-20, Toyopearl HW-40, Sephadex LH-20, MCI-Gel CHP-20, RP18 and normal phase silica gel. Their structures were identified on the basis of physiochemical property and spectral techniques (1H, 13C-NMR, DEPT, 1H-1H COSY, HSQC, HMBC, HR-MS).</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Twelve compounds were separated and identified as 5,7-dihydroxy-8-C-beta-D-glucosyl-chromone (1), 5-hydroxyl-7,4'-dimethoxyl-flavone (2), 2,3,19, 24-tetrahydroxy-urs12-en-28-oic acid (3), 2,3,19, 24-tetrahydroxy-urs-12-en-28-oic acid ester-28-O-beta-D-gucoside (4), 5-hydroxyl-6,4'-dimethoxyl-7-O-[alpha-L-rhamnosyl-(1-->6)]-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-flavone (5), 5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxy-6-C-beta-D-glucosyl-flavonol (6), 5,7-dihydroxy-6-C-beta-D-glucosyl-flavonones (7), 5,7, 3',4'-tetrahydroxy-6-C-beta-D-glucosyl-dihydroflavonol (8), daucosterol (9), stigmasterol (10), beta-sitosterol (11), and 3-O-beta-D-glucosyl-stigmasterol (12).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Compound 1 is a new compound, while other compounds were separated from this plant for the first time.</p>
