Phenolic glycosides from the rhizomes of Cyperus rotundus and their antidepressant activity
San-Qing Lin,Zhong-Liu Zhou,Hua-lin Zhang,Wen-Qing Yin 한국응용생명화학회 2015 Applied Biological Chemistry (Appl Biol Chem) Vol.58 No.5
Depression is the most common psychiatric comorbidity in patients. Searching for antidepressant drugs from natural products is very important for the treatment of this disease. The ethanol extract and its fractions of Cyperus rotundus were evaluated for antidepressant activities in mice by our group. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential active components of C. rotundus. The extraction and solvent partition of the rhizomes of C. rotundus, and repeated column chromatography for n-BuOH fraction yielded three new phenolic glycosides, rotunduside D (1), rotunduside E (2), and rotunduside F (3). Their chemical structures were identified on the basis of spectroscopic data analyses including NMR, MS, UV, and IR. The potential antidepressant activity of all the isolated compounds was evaluated. In the despair mice models, rotunduside F (3) showed significant antidepressant activity at the dosage of 50 mg/kg, which was close to the positive control fluoxetine (20 mg/kg).
The Impact of Derivatives Hedging on Stock Market : Evidence from Taiwan Covered Warrants Market
San-Lin Chung,Wen-Ranq Liu,Wei-Che Tsai 한국재무학회 2011 한국재무학회 학술대회 Vol.2011 No.09
This paper examines the hedging impact on the underlying stock market using a comprehensive dataset of covered warrants traded in the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE). Since TWSE requires the warrant issuers to conduct dynamic hedging over the life of warrants, we can estimate the number of shares bought or sold for rebalancing the hedging portfolio and measure its impact. We find significant positive abnormal returns and trading volumes before the announcement day of warrants issuance, suggesting that issuers establish their hedging portfolios before the announcement day. The magnitude of the price effect is positively related to the size of the hedging portfolio. Moreover, there is a significantly positive relationship between stock return volatility and the price elasticity of hedging demand (defined as the percentage of shares needed for rebalancing hedge portfolio when the underlying stock price changes 1%). Finally, we also observe significantly negative price effect to the underlying stock before (after) the expiration date for call warrants that are expired out-of-the-money (in-the-money). For call warrants expired in-the-money, the negative price impact is due to the fact that warrants traded in TWSE are cash settlement when exercised, and thus the issuers have to liquidate the hedging portfolio after expiration, which results in selling pressure on the underlying stock.

Purpose This study was conducted to investigate the prognostic value of lymph node ratio (LNR) instage II/III breast cancer patients who undergo mastectomy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Materials and MethodsClinical and pathological data describing stage II/III breast cancer patients were includedin this retrospective study. The primary outcomes were locoregional recurrence-free survival(LRFS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), disease-free survival (DFS), and overallsurvival (OS). ResultsAmong 277 patients, there were 43 ypN0, 64 ypN1, 89 ypN2, and 81 ypN3 cases. Additionally, there were 43, 57, 92 and 85 cases in the LNR 0, 0.01-0.20, 0.21-0.65, and> 0.65 groups, respectively. The median follow-up was 49.5 months. Univariate analysisshowed that both ypN stage and LNR were prognostic factors of LRFS, DMFS, DFS, and OS(p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that LNR was an independent prognostic factor ofLRFS, DMFS, DFS, and OS (p < 0.05), while ypN stage had no effect on prognosis (p > 0.05). ConclusionThe integrated use of LNR and ypN may be suitable for evaluation the prognosis of stageII/III breast cancer patients who undergo mastectomy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Prevention of Natural Flowering in Pineapple (Ananas comosus) by Shading and Urea Application

The year-round production of pineapple (Ananas comosus var. comosus) is often interrupted by natural flowering during winter in Taiwan. A stable and promising technique for preventing natural flowering is required. In this study, we have tested the effect of shading and urea application on the flowering of pineapple. Shading 90% of sun light(s) before mid-November delayed the natural flowering of pineapple and the delay was affected by the plant age. For pineapples planted less than 11 month before mid-November, applying 1% urea plus shading treatment (SN) completely inhibited natural flowering. All the flowering-inhibited plants could be forced to flower by applying calcium carbide. Long-term shading might result in a decreased number of fruitlets within a fruit. However, 6 weeks of recovery before forcing flowering was sufficient for plants to produce fruits with quality equal to that of the control plants. In winter, pineapple plants that were prone to flowering tended to accumulate more leaf starch and increase their C/N ratio. The SN treatment increased the leaf nitrogen concentration and thus effectively maintained a low leaf C/N ratio. Furthermore, flowering-inhibited plants exhibited a constantly low level of leaf starch during the winter and their flowering forced by calcium carbide did not accompany with leaf starch accumulation.
