RESUMEN
Objective: This study is to explore the predictive value of erythrocyte-derived microparticles (ErMPs) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Materials & methods: Total 305 subjects were enrolled and divided into the control group and ACS group. Flow cytometry was used to detect the ErMPs. The Gensini score was calculated based on the results of the coronary angiography. Results: Compared with that in the control group, the ErMPs concentration in the ACS group increased significantly and the concentration of ErMPs was correlated with the ACS risk. The concentration of ErMPs and the percentage of ErMPs were positively correlated with the Gensini score. Conclusion: ErMPs may be a new biomarker for predicting the ACS risk and the coronary artery disease severity.

Síndrome Coronario AgudoRESUMEN
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is implicated as a negative regulator of insulin receptor (IR) signaling and a potential drug target for the treatment of type II diabetes and other associated metabolic syndromes. Thus, small molecule inhibitors of PTP1B can be considered as an attractive approach for the design of new therapeutic agents of type II diabetes and cancer diseases. In a continuing search for new PTP1B inhibitors, a new tetramic acid possessing a rare pyrrolidinedione skeleton named fumosorinone A (1), together with five known ones 2-6 were isolated from the entomogenous fungus Isaria fumosorosea. The structures of 2-6 were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis. Fumosorinone A (1) and beauvericin (6) showed significant PTP1B inhibitory activity with IC50 value of 3.24 µM and 0.59 µM.
