Innovative drugs are defined as new chemical entities that play a vital role in the treatment and maintenance of human health. While single-target innovative drugs have achieved notable success, they face limitations in addressing the increasingly complex and precise spectra of diseases. The advent of multi-target innovative drugs offers new opportunities, supported by a growing body of pharmacological evidence. Herbal medicines are recognized as valuable sources of multi-target therapeutics due to their proven efficacy in treating complex diseases. However, the identification and validation of such drugs from herbal sources continue to pose significant challenges. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the literature on traditional Chinese medicine, integrated medicine, chemistry, and biology from 2015 to 2025. It summarizes the strategies employed in integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine for innovative drug development, along with successful application cases. We believe these efforts will deepen understanding of the current landscape, accelerate the discovery of multi-target innovative drugs from herbal medicine, and contribute to addressing major human health challenges.

Objective:To conduct a scoping review of the current research status, influencing factors, and assessment tools regarding social isolation in lung cancer survivors and provide research ideas for clinical medical and nursing staff to develop interventional measures.Methods:Based on the framework of a scoping review, systematic searches were conducted in databases including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library for studies on social isolation in lung cancer survivors, up to March 18, 2023.Results:Eighteen articles were included, with research distributed across three continents (Asia, North America, Europe) and in seven countries, including China, the USA, and Spain. Frequently used research tools included the University of California Los Angeles Loneliness Scale and the Cancer Loneliness Scale. Rates and severity of social isolation varied across different studies. Factors influencing social isolation in lung cancer survivors included demographic factors, disease-related factors, symptom factors, and psychosocial factors.Conclusions:Social isolation in lung cancer survivors can affect their quality of life to a certain extent. Although there are various tools for assessing social isolation in lung cancer survivors, there is a general lack of specific assessment tools. This suggests that medical and nursing personnel should consider developing and applying more specific research tools when developing related assessment tools in the future and develop personalized intervention measures based on influencing factors to help patients alleviate social isolation.

Netrin-1, an axon guidance factor, and its receptor UNC5B play important roles in axonal development and angiogenesis. This study examined netrin-1 and UNC5B expression in kidneys with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and investigated their roles in angiogenesis. Netrin-1 and UNC5B were upregulated in streptozotocininduced DKD Wistar rats, and their expression was compared with that in healthy controls. However, exogenous netrin-1 in UNC5B-depleted human renal glomerular endothelial cells (HRGECs) inhibited cell migration and tubulogenesis. This effect was likely associated with SRC pathway deactivation. Netrin-1 treatment also eliminated the pro-angiogenic effects of exogenous VEGF-165 on UNC5B-silenced HRGECs. These results indicate that UNC5B antagonizes netrin-1 and that UNC5B upregulation contributes partly to enhancing angiogenesis in DKD. Therefore, introducing exogenous netrin-1 and depleting endogenous UNC5B are potential strategies for reducing the incidence of early angiogenesis and mitigating kidney injury in DKD.
