A new aurone glycoside with antifungal activity from marine-derived fungus Penicillium sp. FJ-1.

Endophytic fungi which reside in the tissue of mangrove plants seem to play an important role in the discovery of new biologically active substances. During the course of screening for the antimicrobial metabolites from the endophytic fugus Penicillium sp. FJ-1 of mangrove plant Avicennia marina, a new aurone glycoside (1) was isolated by repeated column chromatography on silica gel and recrystallization methods.

[Clinicopathologic features of cardiac myxoma--a report of 47 cases].

Background & Objective: Myxoma is the most common neoplasm of the heart, and has various morphologic structures, but its biological behaviors and histogenesis are still controversial. This study was to summarize the clinical, histomorphologic, and immunophenotypic features of cardiac myxoma.

Methods: The clinical data and HE sections of 47 cases of cardiac myxoma were reviewed.
