ABSTRACT
About 80% of persons with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in the United States are non-US-born. Despite improvements in infant hepatitis B vaccination globally since 2000, work remains to attain the World Health Organization's (WHO) global 2030 goal of 90% vaccination. We explore the impacts on the United States of global progress in hepatitis B vaccination since 2000 and of achieving WHO hepatitis B vaccination goals. We simulated immigrants with HBV infection arriving to the United States from 2000 to 2070 using models of the 10 countries from which the largest numbers of individuals with HBV infection were born. We estimated costs in the United States among these cohorts using a disease simulation model. We simulated three scenarios: a scenario with no progress in infant vaccination for hepatitis B since 2000 (baseline), current (2020) progress and achieving WHO 2030 goals for hepatitis B vaccination. We estimate current hepatitis B vaccination progress since the 2000 baseline in these 10 countries will lead to 468,686 fewer HBV infections, avoid 35,582 hepatitis B-related deaths and save $4.2 billion in the United States through 2070. Achieving the WHO 2030 90% hepatitis B infant vaccination targets could lead to an additional 16,762 fewer HBV infections, 989 fewer hepatitis B-related deaths and save $143 million through 2070. Global hepatitis B vaccination since 2000 reduced prevalence of HBV infection in the United States. Achieving the WHO 2030 infant vaccination goals globally could lead to over one hundred million dollars in additional savings.
ABSTRACT
Three new flavonol glycosides (1-3), hippophins K-M, were isolated from the seed residue of Hippophae rhamnoides subsp. sinensis. The chemical structures of these three new compounds were identified by 1D, 2D NMR, mass spectroscopy and high resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry spectroscopic data and by comparison with the literature data. This report is a continuous research work on the systematic chemical investigation of plants of the genus Hippophae in our laboratory.

Three monoterpenoids and two triterpenoids were isolated from Abies nephrolepis together with 53 known terpenoids. The structures of the compounds were established by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. The absolute configuration of 3-hydroxycamphane-2-carboxylic acid was established as (1S,2R,3S,4R) by Cu-Kα X-ray crystallography. All 58 isolates were tested for cytotoxic activity against four tumor cells viz. A549 (human lung adenocarcinoma), Colo205 (colon adenocarcinoma), QGY-7703 (human hepatoma) and THP-1 (human monocytic leukemia). α-Cadinol exhibited the best effects on A549, Colo205 and QGY-7703 with IC(50) values of 8.6, 8.1 and 4.6 µg/mL, respectively.

The title compound, C(30)H(48)O(3), was extracted from the plant Dracocephalum rupestre Hance. The mol-ecule contains five fused cyclo-hexane rings and one five-membered lactone ring. Inter-molecular O-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds between the hydroxyl and carbonyl groups link the mol-ecules into chains along [010]. The absolute structure has not been determined.
