The invention discloses application of a small dose of propofol in preparing products for preventing and curing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Stress disorder and its related diseases include acute stress disorder (ASD) and PTSD. According to the test of injecting a small dose of propofol in the abdominal cavity of a PTSD pattern animal, the small dose of propofol has function of relieving fear, anxiety and learning and memory impairment of the PTSD pattern animal, and can decrease expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and neurons nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) which are caused by strong stress, increase expression of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) which plays an important role in neuroplasticity regulation and reduce release of nitric oxide (NO) of glioma cell of the pattern animal greatly. Accordingly, propofol with the advantages of quick action, quick metabolic clearance and no residues has good application prospect.

A method for detecting a chemical and a detection device whereby a chemical is captured by a scavenger and thus detected, said scavenger being produced by using a molecular template. The present invention provides a chemical sensor which is easy-to-use not only for medical experts (e.g., medical doctors, clinical technologists and nurses) but also for general domestic consumers. In particular, the present invention addresses the problem of highly sensitively detecting a steroid hormone such as cortisol, said hormone closely relating to a stress disorder, and thus diagnosing the stress disorder in early stage on the basis of the sign to thereby contribute to the prevention and prompt therapy thereof. Provided is a molecular template of a steroid hormone, said molecular template comprising a polymer capable of interacting with the steroid hormone. The polymer preferably contains, per polymer unit, at least two functional groups that are capable of interacting with the steroid hormone.
