A new steroid named as Zhonghualiaoine I (1) was isolated from Polygonum nodosum Pers (Chinese name 揨honghualiao? Berberidaceae). Its structure was deduced on the basis of its spectral data.

In situ hybridization and reverse transcription polymerase chain reactions (RT PCR) were performed to determine the expression of ET A and ET B receptor mRNA in liver tissues from traumatic subjects ( n =10) and cirrhotic patients ( n =15) in whom hepatic hemodynamic values were measured. The expression of the two transcripts was significantly higher in liver samples of cirrhotic patients than in those obtained from traumatic subjects. It has shown that ET A receptor mRNA predominantly located in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and vascular smooth muscle cells of intrahepatic arteries and portal veins, ET B receptor mRNA in HSCs, sinusoidal endothelial cells and Kuppfer cells. There was a highly significant direct relationship between ET A and ET B receptor mRNA and P p and Q p in cirrhotic patients. It suggests that liver paracrine endothelin system may be overactivated in human cirrhosis accompanied with increased expression of ET A and ET B receptor mRNA which may play an important role in the pathogenesis and maintenance of splanchnic hyperdynamics.展开更多

First, organization models are created to describe the structural relationships among employees and the ways in which they will use the information system. Second, function models are created to hierarchically describe how sales, transports, deliveries and vehicles are managed. Thirdly, an information model is built to represent the data entities and their dynamic interactions. Based on the system design, a distribution management system is developed and implemented in a refinery, which has considerably increased the distribution management efficiency and effectiveness.展开更多
