It is shown that any pure entangled quantum state violates one of Bell-like inequalities. Moreover, quantum states that violate any one of these Bell-like inequalities are shown to be distillable. New Bell inequalities that detect more entangled mixed states are also introduced. %K Bell inequality %K entanglement %K distillation %U http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11434-011-4395-1
