Malaria, one of the most striking, re-emerging infectious diseases caused by the genus Plasmodium, places a huge burden on global healthcare systems. A major challenge in the control and eradication of malaria is the continuous emergence of increasingly widespread drug-resistant malaria, creating an urgent need to develop novel antimalarial agents. Chalcone derivatives are ubiquitous in nature and have become indispensable units in medicinal chemistry applications due to their diverse biological profiles. Many chalcone derivatives demonstrate potential in vitro and in vivo antimalarial activity, so chalcone could be a useful template for the development of novel antimalarial agents. This review covers the recent development of chalcone hybrids as antimalarial agents. The critical aspects of the design and structure–activity relationship of these compounds are also discussed. 相似文献
Objective: To determine serotonin system abnormalities related to major depression or previous suicidal behavior.
Methods: [11C]WAY100635, [18F]altanserin and positron emission tomography were used to compare 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A binding in MDD patients divided into eight past suicide attempters (>4yrs prior to scanning) and eight lifetime non-attempters, and both groups were compared to eight healthy volunteers.
Results: The two receptor types differed in binding pattern across brain regions from each other, but there were no differences in binding between healthy volunteers and the two depressed groups or between depressed suicide attempters and non-attempters. No effects of depression severity or lifetime aggression were observed for either receptor.
Conclusion: Limitations of this study include small sample size and absence of high lethality suicide attempts in the depressed attempter group. No trait-like binding correlations with past suicide attempt or current depression were observed. Given the heterogeneity of nonfatal suicidal behavior, a larger sample study emphasizing higher lethality suicide attempts may find the serotonin biological phenotype seen in suicide decedents. 相似文献
目的:探讨40岁以上高龄女性体外受精-胚胎移植(IVF-ET)的妊娠结局,旨在为高龄女性提供生育咨询以及为改善高龄女性个体化辅助生殖治疗结局提供临床依据。方法:选择我院生殖中心2015年1月—2017年12月女方年龄≥40岁且使用自身卵子行体外受精的共2 467个治疗周期资料,对各项临床数据进行回顾性分析。结果:40岁及以上行辅助生殖治疗的患者,随着女性年龄增加获卵数明显减少(40~48岁女性平均获卵数分别为2.97、 2.69、2.17、2.01、1.77、1.61、1.68、1.29和1.00,44~48岁与40~43岁依次组间比较均P<0.05),尤其是44岁以上女性胚胎发育潜能明显降低(40~48岁囊胚形成率分别为48.90%、43.72%、33.67%、34.29%、24.39%、21.14%、26.32%、16.67%和0%,44~48岁与40~43岁组间依次比较均P<0.05)。共有518个周期行新鲜胚胎移植,结果显示,随女性年龄增加,临床妊娠率(40~48岁临床妊娠率分别为26.92%、21.15%、20.79%、10.96%、18.87%、11.11%、5.88%、0%和0%,43~48岁与40~42岁组间依次比较均P<0.05)、种植率(40~48岁种植率分别为23.65%、19.51%、17.70%、8.54%、7.49%、10.81%、5.56%、0%和0%,43~48岁与40~42岁组间依次比较均P<0.05)和活产率均显著降低(40~46岁活产率分别为18.46%、10.58%、9.90%、5.48%、5.66%、2.78%和5.88%,43~46岁与40~42岁组间依次比较均P<0.05),43岁以上者结局更差。44岁以上女性自然流产率明显增高(40~45岁流产率分别为31.43%、50.00%、52.38%、50.00%、70.00%和75.00%,44~45岁与40~43岁组间依次比较均P<0.05)。46岁女性仅1例妊娠并分娩,47岁和48岁女性均无成功妊娠。与抗苗勒管激素(AMH)>1.0 ng/mL组相比,AMH≤1.0 ng/mL组妊娠率、种植率及活产率均显著下降(27.04% vs. 14.74%,22.99% vs. 13.50%,15.88% vs. 7.37%;均P<0.05),流产率明显升高(41.27% vs. 50.00%,P<0.05)。结论:≥40岁高龄女性随年龄增长生育力逐渐降低。40~43岁年龄段女性助孕仍有一定的价值,尤其是卵巢仍有一定储备者(AMH>1.0 ng/mL),但44岁以上女性原则上不再建议ART助孕,对于46岁以上卵巢功能衰竭的女性强烈建议卵子捐赠或收养。 相似文献
