A new lignan from Euscaphis konishii / 中国中药杂志

The chemical constituents from the extract of the twigs of Euscaphis konishii with anti-hepatoma activity were investigated, twelve compounds by repeated chromatography with silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 and preparative-HPLC. The structures of the chemical components were elucidated by spectroscopy methods, as konilignan(1),(7R, 8S)-dihydrodehydrodico-niferylalcohol-9-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(2),illiciumlignan B(3),threo-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-[4-(3-hydroxypropyl)-2-methoxyphenoxy]-1,3-panediol(4),erythro-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-[4-(3-hydroxypropyl)-2-methoxyphenoxy]-1,3-panediol(5), matairesinol(6), wikstromol(7), isolariciresinol(8),(+)-lyoniresinol(9), 4-ketopinoresinol(10), syringaresin(11), and vladinol D(12). Among them, compound 1 is a new lignan. Compounds 10 and 12 had moderate inhibitory activity on HepG2 cells, with IC_(50) values of 107.12 μmol·L~(-1) and 183.56 μmol·L~(-1), respectively.

A new lactone from Euscaphis konishii / 中草药

Objective: To study the chemical constituents of Euscaphis konishii. Methods: The chemical constituents from 95% EtOH extract of the stems of E. konishii were isolated by repeated chromatograph with silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 and semi-preparative RP-HPLC. The structure of the separated chemical components was identified by modern spectroscopy identification. Results: Eight compounds were isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of 95% EtOH extract of E. konishii, and identified as 4 (R)-(4'-hydroxybenzoyl) dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one (1), 6-hydroxymellein (2), euscapholide (3), dehydrovomifoliol (4), ethyl gallate (5), tetraketide (6), p-hydroxybenzoic acid (7) and nicotinic acid (8). Conclusion: Except for compounds 3 and 6, they are all isolated for the first time in this genus, and all compounds are isolated for the first time in this plant. Among them, compound 1 is a new compound named konieuscaphide.

Long-term observation for osseointegriation of calcium 'phosphate sol-gel coating on Ti-6Al-4V implants / 中国医学科学杂志(英文版)

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the long-term impact of calcium phosphate (CaP) sol-gel coating on bone growth around porous-surfaced implant.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The porous-surfaced Ti-6Al-4V implants were prepared with the addition of a thin film of CaP sol-gel coating, and implanted into the tibiae of 8 rabbits, each with two implants. Implanted sites were allowed to heal for 2, 8, 12, and 24 weeks, after which specimens were obtained for scanning electron microscope analysis using the freeze-fracture technique.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The sol-gel coated implants recovered by freeze-fracture technique showed extensive bone growth from the endosteum along the implant surface. The bone was in direct contact with the CaP layer. The cement line-like layer was clearly demonstrated to be an intervening electron dense afibrillar layer between the CaP coat and the overlying newly deposited bone. The stability and osseointegration of the porous-surfaced implants seemed not to be affected by the osteoclastic resorption of CaP layer occurred during 24 weeks of healing.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Based on the findings in the long-term observation, the addition of a thin layer of CaP promotes an extensive osseointegrated interface between the porous-surfaced Ti-6Al-4V implants and the newly deposited bone.</p>
