Résumé
Objective: To study the chemical constituents of small polar in Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum. Methods: The column chromatography on silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and semi-preparative HPLC was used to separate and purify the compounds, their structures were elucidated by NMR and MS spectroscopic data analyses. Results: Nine compounds were isolated from the petroleum ether of Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum and identified as 18-nor-abieta-8,11,13-triene-4α,7α-diol (1), 18-norabieta-8,11,13-triene-4α, 7β-diol (2), 7α-hydroxydehydroabietic acid (3), 2α-hydroxydehydroabietic acid (4), 2β-hydroxydehydroabietic acid (5), 7α,15- dihydroxy-methyl-dehydroabietate (6), 7-oxo-13β-hydroxyabiet-8(14)-en-18-oic acid (7), 2β-hydroxypimaric acid (8), and 3β- hydroxypimarol (9). Conclusion: All the compounds are isolated from the plants of Aquilaria Lam. for the first time, among them, compounds 1 and 2 are norditerpenoids and compounds 3-9 are diterpenoids.
Résumé
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To define the anatomical approach, anatomical planes and related vessels and nerves to create a safe and reproducible combined sublingual and bi-vestibular access for trans-oral video-assisted thyroidectomy.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From November 2009 to May 2011, twenty-five embalmed human specimens were dissected for anatomical information of the cervical region, the mandible region and the supra-hyoid muscles. On twenty fresh frozen human specimens after an experimental trans-oral endoscopic thyroidectomy, the related vascular, neural structures and muscles were evaluated.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The optical access port was placed in the midline sublingual. The geniohyoid muscle, mylohyoid muscle and the anterior belly of the digastric muscle were divided in the midline in order to reach the plane under the platysma muscle. The mucosa was sagittal incised bilaterally in the vestibular of oral cavity for working trocar, at the level of the first molar of the mandible. The working trocar reached directly the periosteum of the mandible, under the facial vessel and the marginal branch of facial nerve, and then passed below the platysma muscle into the infra-laryngeal working area. The distance from mental nerve to mandibular midline and between mental nerve and facial artery were (25.8 ± 0.9) mm and (29.4 ± 0.9) mm respectively. Anatomical dissections showed that after an experimental trans-oral combined sublingual and bi-vestibular access, all muscles of the floor of the oral cavity as well as the related vascular and neural structures are intact. The maximum nodule size of the resected specimens in the totally trans-oral approach was up to 50 mm.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The combined sublingual and bi-vestibular access of trans-oral video-assisted thyroidectomy is safe and reproducible.</p>
