Allen was described. The analysis evidenced the presence of a new derivative of sandaracopimaric acid together with rare diterpenoid derivatives and known compounds of chemosystematic and bioactivity relevance. Some of these were evidenced in the species or in the family for the first time during this study. The further implications of the isolated compounds in the field of chemosystematics, pharmacology and nutraceutics were discussed.A new nitrogen-containing iridoid glycoside, named (7 R,3'R)-lonijapospiroside A (1), together with thirteen known iridoid glycosides, were isolated from the flower buds of Lonicera macranthoides. The structures of these compounds were established on the basis of spectroscopic analyses. Among them, compounds 1-4 are four diastereoisomers, and their absolute configurations were accurately established by the NOE spectra as well as comparison of their experimental and calculated ECD spectra. The anti-inflammatory activities of all isolates were evaluated by measuring their inhibitory effects on NO, IL-6, and TNF-α production in LPS stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. Compound 14 exhibited anti-inflammatory activities by inhibiting IL-6 with an IC50 value of 54.70 μM, comparable to that of the positive control (hydrocortisone, IC50 62.6 ± 1.7 μM).INTRODUCTION Tracheostomy is a common surgical procedure used to create a secure airway in patients, now performed by a variety of specialties, with a notable rise in critical care environments. It is unclear whether this rise is seen in units with large head and neck surgery departments, and how practice in such units compares with the rest of the UK. METHODS A three-year retrospective audit was carried out between anaesthetic, surgical and critical care departments. All tracheostomy procedures were recorded an
