Article Synopsis
- - Lung cancer is the most common cancer and a major cause of cancer deaths in China, prompting a study to assess the direct medical costs associated with its care from 2002 to 2011.
- - The study analyzed data from 15,437 patients across 13 provinces, revealing that the average medical expenditure per lung cancer case in 2011 was 39,015 CNY (about US$6,041), with a 7.55% annual increase over the period.
- - Drug costs constituted the largest share of medical expenses at 54.27%, with treatment and surgical costs following behind; costs varied significantly depending on regional factors and hospital types.
Microeunicellols A () and B (), two undescribed eunicellin diterpenoids, were isolated from the culture of a bacterial symbiont, SY67903. Their structures, including absolute configurations revealed by spectroscopic data and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, are closely related with the diterpenoids from its host, a South China Sea gorgonian, . This is the first report of eunicellin diterpenoids, commonly coral-derived, from a bacterial symbiont of coral.

Their structures were elucidated by detailed interpretation of their spectroscopic data, especially 2D-NMR and HR-ESI-MS.

Accumulating evidence has demonstated that genetic risk factors are involved in the pathogenesis of BAV. However, BAV is genetically heterogeneous and the genetic basis underlying BAV in a large number of patients remains unknown.
