RESUMO
@#Nine compounds were isolated from the aerial part of Callicarpa kwangtungensis chun by various column chromatographic methods. Their structures were identified as pinnatifidanoid A(1), blumenol C(2), megastigman-5- ene-3β, 9R-diol(3), 3β-hydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid(4), kaji-ichigoside F1(5), 1, 4-terephthalic acid(6), syringic acid(7), vanillic acid(8), and 3, 5-dimethoxy-4-methylbenzyl alcohol(9)on the basis of spectral analysis. C13 nor-isoprenoids of 1-3, and compounds 5, 6 and 9, were isolated from the genus Callicarpa for the first time.
RESUMO
We received a patient who repeated unconsciousness due to excrescence locking bicuspid aortic valve. He experienced unconsciousness and treatments with anti infection, surgical operation, valve replacement and recovery. It was a rare case, which made us realize that the heart color Doppler ultrasound should be regularly performed in patients with aortic valve abnormalities. Once patients were found to have infective endocarditis combined with the valve vegetations, they should be formally treated as soon as possible.

Objective To investigate the change of plasma marinobufagenin (MBG) level and the expression of its receptor Na+-K+-ATPase (NKA) in renal biopsy specimens of chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) patients. Methods Twenty-eight CGN patients and 14 healthy people were enrolled in the study. The plasma MBG concentration was measured by competitive inhibition ELISA system. Immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry staining were applied to detect the expression of NKA in renal biopsy specimens of 28 CGN patients and analyzed by semi quantitively. Results Compared with healthy controls, CGN patients had significant lower plasma MBG concentration [(0.579±0.214) nmol/L vs (0.715±0.154) nmol/L, P＜0.05], without further significant difference between CGN patients with hypertension and with normal blood pressure [(0.595±0.231) nmol/L vs (0.557±0.197) nmol/L, P＞0.05]. Meanwhile, proximal tubular staining of NKA was decreased compared with normal controls. The NKA positive staining area of the CGN group was lower than that of normal controls [2.1% (0.5%-6.2%) vs 5.6% (3.5%-10.8%), P＜0.01] and correlated with 24-hour urinary sodium excretion (r=0.551, P＜0.01).Conclusion Decreased plasma MBG level and its receptor expression on proximal tubules may play a role in the regulation of sodium in CGN.
