A novel arterial coupler with non-return snap-fit connection approach optimized arterial end-to-end anastomotic technique: An experimental study.

Purpose: Hand-sewn anastomosis as the gold standard of vascular anastomosis cannot fully meet the requirements of vascular anastomosis in speed and quality. Various vascular couplers have been developed to ameliorate this situation. Most of them are mainly used for venous anastomosis rather than arterial anastomosis, even though it is generally acknowledged that in almost all operations involving vascular reconstruction, it is the arteries that need to be anastomosed faster and more accurately and not the veins.

A new furanosteroid from Talaromyces sp. lgt-4, a fungal endophyte isolated from Tripterygium wilfordii.

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.

Two new cyclic dipeptides from Rhinocladiella sp. lgt-3, a fungal endophyte isolated from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook.

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.

Desmodeleganine, a new alkaloid from the leaves of Desmodium elegans as a potential monoamine oxidase inhibitor.

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.

[Resection of pancreatic capsule and anterior layer of transverse mesocolon in radical gastrectomy and its clinical significance].

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.

[Predictors of mortality in critically multiple trauma patients after damage control surgery].

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).
