RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is the most prevalent cancer, and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in China. The aim of this study was to estimate the direct medical expenditure incurred for lung cancer care and analyze the trend therein for the period 2002-2011 using nationally representative data in China METHODS: This study was based on 10-year, multicenter retrospective expenditure data collected from hospital records, covering 15,437 lung cancer patients from 13 provinces diagnosed during the period 2002-2011. All expenditure data were adjusted to 2011 to eliminate the effects of inflation using China's annual consumer price index. RESULTS: The direct medical expenditure for lung cancer care (in 2011) was 39,015 CNY (US$6,041) per case, with an annual growth rate of 7.55% from 2002 to 2011. Drug costs were the highest proportionally in the total medical expenditure (54.27%), followed by treatment expenditure (14.32%) and surgical expenditure (8.10%). Medical expenditures for the disease varied based on region, hospital level, type, and stage. CONCLUSION: The medical expenditure for lung cancer care is substantial in China. Drug costs and laboratory test are the main factors increasing medical costs.

RESUMEN

Microeunicellols A (1) and B (2), two undescribed eunicellin diterpenoids, were isolated from the culture of a bacterial symbiont, Streptomyces albogriseolus 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, Muricella sibogae. This is the first report of eunicellin diterpenoids, commonly coral-derived, from a bacterial symbiont of coral. The chemical metabolic relationship between the bacterium and its host is discussed. Biological evaluation revealed that compound 1 possessed cytotoxicities against several human cancer cell lines.

RESUMEN

Two new spliceostatin analogs, designed as spliceostatins J and K (1 and 2), were isolated and identified from the culture of Pseudomonas sp., along with two known ones, FR901464 (3) and spliceostatin E (4). Their structures were elucidated by detailed interpretation of their spectroscopic data, especially 2D-NMR and HR-ESI-MS. Spliceostatin J (1) represented the first example of spliceostatins bearing an unusual hexahydrofuro[3,4-b]furan moiety. Biological assay showed all the isolated compounds except 1 displayed potent cytotoxic activities against two cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231 and A-549). Structure-activity-relationship studies revealed that the tetrahydropyran ring in spliceostatin analogs was necessary for their bioactive retention.

RESUMEN

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common form of congenital cardiovascular defect in humans worldwide and is responsible for substantial morbidity and mortality. 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. In the present study, the coding regions and splice junction sites of the GATA5 gene, which codes for a zinc-finger transcription factor crucial for the normal development of the aortic valve, was sequenced initially in 110 unrelated patients with BAV. The available relatives of the mutation carriers and 200 unrelated healthy individuals used as controls were subsequently genotyped for GATA5. The functional effect of the mutations was characterized by using a luciferase reporter assay system. As a result, two novel heterozygous GATA5 mutations, p.Y16D and p.T252P, were identified in two families with autosomal dominant inheritance of BAV, respectively. The variations were absent in 400 control chromosomes and the altered amino acids were completely conserved evolutionarily. Functional assays revealed that the two GATA5 mutants were associated with significantly reduced transcriptional activity compared with their wild-type counterpart. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study on the association of GATA5 loss-of-function mutations with enhanced susceptibility to BAV, providing novel insight into the molecular mechanism involved in human BAV and suggesting a potential role for the early prophylaxis and personalized treatment of this common congenital heart disease.
