Nine new structurally diverse filicinic acid-based meroterpenoids (-) with four kinds of carbon skeletons were isolated from the rhizomes of . Their structures, including the absolute configurations, were elucidated by comprehensive analysis of spectroscopic data, quantum chemical calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structurally, compounds - feature an unprecedented 6/6/5/6/6/6 hexacyclic system with a rare oxaspiro[4.

Article Synopsis
  • Numerous studies have explored the link between dietary fats and ovarian cancer risk, but consistent conclusions on specific fats remain unclear.
  • A systematic review and meta-analysis of 41 studies involving over 109,000 ovarian cancer patients found significant associations between higher intakes of total fat, cholesterol, saturated fat, and animal fat with increased ovarian cancer risk.
  • Additionally, elevated serum triglyceride levels were linked to a higher risk of ovarian cancer, suggesting dietary and lipid factors play a role in cancer development.

Objective: To investigate whether endothelial nitric oxide synthase () rs1799983, rs2070744, and rs61722009 gene polymorphisms are associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in South Fujian newborns with congenital heart disease (CHD).

Methods: Genotyping for the rs1799983, rs2070744, and rs61722009 polymorphisms was performed using Sanger sequencing in 50 newborns with PAH secondary to CHD [CHD PAH (+)], 52 newborns with CHD without PAH [CHD PAH (-)], and 60 healthy controls.

Results: The genotype and allele frequency distributions of rs1799983, rs2070744, and rs61722009 were similar between CHD and healthy controls ( > .
