Natural products (NPs) are an important source of new drugs for the treatment of stroke. Identifying cellular targets for bioactive molecules is a major challenge and critical issue in the development of new drugs for stroke. Small-molecule probes play a unique role in target discovery. However, drawbacks to these probes include non-specificity, unstable activity, and difficulty in synthesis. Small-molecule probes based on NPs at least partially compensate for these shortcomings. NPs feature rich chemical and structural diversity, biocompatibility, and unique biological activities. These features could be exploited to provide new ideas and tools for target discovery. Small-molecule probes based on NPs provide a precise and direct search for interacting protein targets of NPs-active small molecules. This review explores the properties of small-molecule probes based on NPs and their applications in mechanistic studies of stroke and other diseases. We hope that this review will bring new perspectives to the mechanistic study of NPs-active small molecules and accelerate the translation of these ingredients into drug candidates for the treatment of stroke.

Objective To investigate the differences in personality traits between the patients with anx-ious depression(AND)and non-anxious depression(NAD)in order to provide the possible basis for early find of the patients with AND.Methods A total of 572 adult patients with depression visiting in the psychiatric outpatient department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2022 to December 2022 were selected to conduct the questionnaire survey.General demographic questionnaire,Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS),Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale(GAD-7)and Minnesota Multiphasic Per-sonality Inventory(MMPI)were collected and analyzed.The patients with GAD-7 total score ≥5 points served as the AND group(n=499)and those with GAD total score＜5 points served as the NAD group(n=73).The correlation between the general demographic questionnaire,SDS and GAD-7 with MMPI was ana-lyzed.Results There were statistically significant differences in the place of residence,number of children in a family,education years,MMPI total score and high score proportions of psychopathy,athopia,hysteria,depres-sion,hypochondriasis,paranoea,schizophrenia,social introversion and hypomania dimensions between the two groups(P＜0.05).The SDS and GAD-7 scores in the AND group were higher than those in the NAD group(P＜0.05).The MMPI total score,athopia,hysteria,depression,hypochondriasis,paranoea,schizophrenia,so-cial introversion and hypomania were positively correlated with SDS and GAD-7(P＜0.05).Conclusion The patients with depression accompanied by anxiety symptom could be early identified by the MMPI testing results.

Objective To investigate the value of early maternal serological indicators in predic-ting the delivery of full-term small-for-gestational-age(SGA)infants.Methods The clinical data of pregnant women who delivered at Beijing Tongzhou District Maternal and Child Health Hospital from August 2023 to August 2024 were analyzed.A total of 180 pregnant women who delivered full-term SGA infants were included in case group,and 180 pregnant women who delivered full-term appropri-ate-for-gestational-age(AGA)infants during the same period were included in control group.The levels of serum pregnancy-associated plasma protein A(PAPP-A),placenta growth factor(PLGF),and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1(sFlt-1)in the first trimester(11 to 13 weeks+6 days of ges-tation)of the two groups were compared.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used to analyze the predictive value of early maternal serological indicators for the delivery of full-term SGA infants.Results The levels of serum PAPP-A and PLGF in the first trimester of the case group were lower than those in the control group,while the level of sFlt-1 was higher(P＜0.05).The area un-der the ROC curve(AUC)for the combined detection of serum PAPP-A,PLGF,and sFlt-1 levels in the first trimester in predicting the delivery of full-term SGA infants was 0.823,which was higher than the AUCs for detection of each indicator(0.738,0.720,0.724)(P＜0.05).Conclusion The detection of early maternal PAPP-A,PLGF,and sFlt-1 levels can reflect the fetal growth status in utero.The combined detection of these three indicators has a higher predictive value for the delivery of full-term SGA infants by pregnant women,which is helpful for clinicians to take intervention measures in advance.

AIM: To analyze and screen influencing factors of diabetic patients complicated with retinopathy, and establish and validate prediction model of nomogram.METHODS: A total of 1 252 patients from the Diabetes Complications Early Warning Dataset of the National Population Health Data Archive(PHDA)between January 2013 to January 2021 were selected and randomly divided into a modeling group(n=941)and a validation group(n=311). Univariate analysis, LASSO regression and Logistic regression analysis were used to screen out the influencing factors of diabetic retinopathy, and a nomogram prediction model was established. The receiver operating characteristic curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve were used to evaluate the model. The clinical benefit was evaluated by the decision curve analysis(DCA).RESULTS: Age, hypertension, nephropathy, systolic blood pressure(SBP), glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), and blood urea(BU)were the influencing factors of diabetic retinopathy. The area under the curve(AUC)of the modeling group was 0.792(95%CI: 0.763-0.821), and the AUC of the validation group was 0.769(95%CI: 0.716-0.822). The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test and calibration curve suggested that the theoretical value of the model was in good agreement(modeling group: χ2=14.520, P=0.069; validation group: χ2=14.400, P=0.072). The DCA results showed that the threshold probabilities range was 0.09-0.89 for modeling group and 0.07-0.84 for the validation group, which suggested the clinical net benefit was higher.CONCLUSION: This study constructed a risk prediction model including age, hypertension, nephropathy, SBP, HbA1c, HDL-C, and BU. The model has a high discrimination and consistency, and can be used to predict the risk of diabetic retinopathy in patients with diabetes.

Objective:To clarify the effect of the reform of Sichuan medical association on the coordinated development of medical re-sources supply and regional economy,and provide a basis for continuing to promote the coordinated development.Methods:Based on the panel data of 18 prefecture-level cities and 3 autonomous prefectures in Sichuan Province from 2009 to 2021,the medical resources invest-ment and economic development level of each city(state)in Sichuan Province were calculated by entropy weight method.Through the cou-pled coordination model,the degree of coordinated development was measured.The discontinuous time series model is used to measure the impact of the implementation of the medical association policy on the degree of coordinated development.Results:From 2009 to 2021,the supply of medical resources in Sichuan Province showed an overall upward trend,but the characteristics of the first concentration were ob-vious.In 2021,the coupling degree between medical resources investment and economic development in Sichuan Province is high(0.808),but the coupling coordination degree was still in a barely coordinated stage(0.540).The implementation of the reform of medical associa-tion effectively promoted the coordinated development of medical resource supply and regional economy.Conclusion:Local governments need to further strengthen the building of medical associations.By making long-term medical resources planning and exploring the role of digital technology in the medical field,it will further promote the expansion and balanced distribution of high-quality medical resources.
