Anti-inflammatory discovery of sesquiterpenoids and a jasmonic acid derivative from Artemisia stolonifera.

Eleven previously undescribed sesquiterpenoids (8-18), one undescribed jasmonic acid derivative (35) and 28 known compounds were isolated from the leaves of Artemisia stolonifera. Undescribed compounds with their absolute configurations were determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and ECD calculation. Compound 8 was identified as a rare sesquiterpenoid featuring a rearranged 5/8 bicyclic ring system, whereas compound 17 was found to be an unprecedented monocyclic sesquiterpenoid with methyl rearrangement.

Hereditary transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis proven by endomyocardial biopsy: a single-centre retrospective study and literature review.

Background: This study aimed to report the genotypes and phenotypes of hereditary transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (hATTR-CA) in a Western Chinese cohort and review the genetic profiles of this disorder in the Chinese population.

Methods: Transthyretin () gene sequencing of probands diagnosed with TTR cardiac amyloidosis and their relatives was performed at West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2018 to December 2021. All patients underwent endomyocardial biopsy for light and electron microscopy examinations.

[Characteristics of CMR Appearance in a Case of Cardiac Metastatic Melanoma].

A 53-year-old woman was found "an occupant in the left ciliary body" two years ago and underwent the surgery of "left eye ball removal". Pathological results confirmed the diagnosis of malignant melanoma. The patient was admitted to our hospital again due to newly found heart murmur.

Mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma of the liver: A rare case report.

A 55-year-old woman presented with chest and back pain of unknown cause. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed two low-density tumors, sized 4.6 and 4.

Evaluation of the mandibular split patterns in sagittal split ramus osteotomy.

Purpose: To evaluate the split patterns of the mandibular ramus in sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and examine the related anatomic features that may be associated with these split patterns.

Patients And Methods: The authors designed and implemented a retrospective cohort study and enrolled a sample composed of consecutive patients with different maxillofacial deformities who underwent an SSRO from July 2011 through October 2012 at the Department of Orthognathic Surgery at the Tianjin Stomatological Hospital of Nankai University. The split patterns, which were selected at random at 1 side per patient, were evaluated by CBCT as the outcome variable 1 month after the operation.

[Study of biomechanical properties of mucosa scars after cleft palate surgery].

Objective: To explore biomechanical properties and stress-strain of mucosa scars after cleft palate surgery.

Methods: After the model of mucosa scars was made, the mucosa scars and normal mucosa were excised and examined immediately by tensionometry.

Results: The mucosa scars after cleft palate surgery were compared with normal mucosa.
