RESUMO
Wortmannolol (1), a new furanosteroid, along with five known compounds, wortmannolone (2), ergosterol (3), p-hydroxyphenyl ethanol (4), trans-6-dodecene (5), (2Z, 4E) -5-(8-hydroxy-1,5-dimethyl-3-oxo-6-oxabicyclo [3.2.1] octan-8-yl) -3-methylpenta-2,4-dienoic acid (6) were isolated from a fungal endophyte Talaromyces sp. lgt-4. Their structures were elucidated by IR, MS, 1D and 2D NMR spectra. Compound 1 show weak monoamine oxidase inhibitory activity.

Desmodeleganine (1), a new potential monoamine oxidase inhibitor, along with three known alkaloids, bufotenin (2), hydroxy-N, N-dimethyltryptamine N(12)-oxide (3), 2-(5-methoxy-1H-indol-3-yl)-N, and N-dimethylethylamine (4) were isolated from the leaves of Desmodium elegans. Their structures were elucidated by IR, MS, 1D and 2D NMR spectra. 1 showed strong monoamine oxidase inhibitory activity with IC50 value of 13.92 ± 1.5 µM, when the IC50 value of iproniazid as a standard was 6.5 ± 0.5 µM. The molecular modeling was also performed to explore the binding mode of compounds 1, 2 at the active site of MAO-A and MAO-B.

Two new cyclic dipeptides, rhinocladin A (1) and rhinocladin B (2), were isolated from a fungal endophyte (Rhinocladiella sp. lgt-3) of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectra. The monoamine oxidase inhibitory activity of 1 and 2 was also evaluated.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical significance of resection of the pancreatic capsule and anterior layer of transverse mesocolon in radical gastrectomy. METHODS: Between January 2007 and July 2008, a total of 213 gastric cancer patients enrolled in the study. These patients were randomly assigned into two groups: 105 in group R and 108 in group N. Only in group R were the pancreatic capsule and anterior layer of transverse mesocolon resected during radical gastrectomy. The pancreatic capsule and anterior layer of transverse mesocolon were histologically analyzed for metastasis. The data including blood loss during operations, number of dissected lymph nodes and postoperative complications were analyzed in both groups. RESULTS: There were no significant differences between the two groups in blood loss during operation and postoperative complications, but the differences in operation time and number of dissected lymph nodes between the two groups were significant. Metastases to the pancreatic capsule and/or anterior layer of transverse mesocolon were diagnosed in nine (8.6%) patients of group R. The metastases to the pancreatic capsule and/or anterior layer of transverse mesocolon were found to be associated with tumor invasion depth, anterior or posterior gastric wall, clinical staging and perigastric lymph node metastasis extent (P<0.05), but not with age, gender, tumor location, size, Borrmann type and pathological classification (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Resection of pancreatic capsule and anterior layer of transverse mesocolon in group R does not increase postoperative complications in comparison with group N. The resection is beneficial to the patients with advanced gastric cancer staging relatively late because of potential metastasis to pancreatic capsule and anterior layer of transverse mesocolon.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficiency of damage control surgery (DCS) and predictors of mortality in critically multiple trauma patients. METHODS: From May 1998 to February 2007, DCS were carried out in 27 patients with critically multiple trauma. Of the patients 15 cases survived (survival group) and 12 cases died (dead group). The surgical complications, causes of death, demographic, physiologic and medical parameters were collected and compared between the two groups. Multiple logistic regression analysis were performed to identify possible predictors of mortality. RESULTS: The incidence of surgical complications was 37.0 percent, and the intra-abdominal infections was the most frequent (18.5%). The overall mortality rate was 44.4 percent. The most common causes of death was multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (50.0%). With respect to predicting mortality, statistically significant differences was found in parameters as age, injury severity score (ISS), initial temperature and base excess (BE), estimated blood loss, initial ICU temperature and length of hospital stay. Older age, increased absolute value of initial BE and lower initial ICU temperature were determined as independent predictors of mortality on multiple logistic regression analysis. CONCLUSIONS: There is a comparable high morbidity and mortality rate in severely injured patients managed with DCS. Increased age, a larger absolute value of initial BE and lower initial ICU temperature could independently predict death of the patients.
