Methods The constituents were isolated by solvent extraction, repeated chromatography with silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and RP-18 columns. The structures were elucidated by spectral analysis. Results Thirteen compounds were isolated and their structures were identified as (-)-syringaresinol (1), syringaresinol-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2), syringaresinol-4,4′-bis-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), (±)-catechin (4), catechin-3-O- β-D-glucopyranoside (5), catechin-5-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (6), 1,3-bis-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-1,3-propanediol (7), (R)-(+)-chaulmoogric acid (8), friedelin (9), uracile (10), benzoic acid (11), vaniUic acid (12), and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (13). Conclusion All the compounds described above were isolated from this genus for the first time.展开更多

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is performed in the second, fourth, eighth, and sixteenth weeks after the stroke. Images are analyzed using the professional software SPM5 to obtain the bilateral activation of the motor cortex in left and right handgrip tests. MCN data are extracted from the active areas, and the structural and functional characteristic parameters are computed to indicate the connectivity of the network. Results show that the ipsilesional hemisphere recruits more areas with less active extent during the handgrip test, compared with the contralesional hemisphere. MCN shows a higher overall degree of statistical independence and more statistical dependence among motor areas with the gradual recovery. It can help physicians understand the recovery mechanism.展开更多

A new linear monoterpene glycoside named itoside O was isolated from the crude extract of Itoa orientalis together with 11 known compounds. The new compound was identified to be 3,7-dimethyl-1, 6-octadien-3, 10-dihydroxyl-10-O-α-L-arabinopyranosyl (1 -→6)-O-β-D-glucopyranoside by 1D and 2D NMR analysis, and all known compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time.展开更多

The results showed that the ventilation mode of opening side window and roof window could effectively reduce the temperature and humidity at the plant canopy height, which was conducive to the growth of plant in greenhouse.展开更多

Results indicate that, under similar weather circumstances, different events evidently exhibit unique vertical structure features. Informational digital diagrams provide a method for transitional weather prediction, a problem for present extrapolative analysis system.展开更多
