Objective To analyze the modeling and evaluation method for vascular restenosis animal models in the last 10 years,to provide a reference for improving animal models of vascular restenosis.Methods Literature related to vascular restenosis was retrieved from mainstream Chinese and English databases from 2013 to 2023.Data on experimental animal strains,modeling method,modeling cycles,and detection method were extracted from the included literature,and a database was established using Excel for summary analysis.Results Among the 122 identified articles,the main experimental animals were rats,rabbits,and pigs,and most animals were male.The most common modeling method was balloon injury,and the modeling cycle was mainly within 4～8 weeks.The main detection indexes were histopathology,accounting for 37.18％,including routine hematoxylin-eosin,Masson,and Elastica van Gieson(EVG)staining.Conclusions The translatability of porcine vascular restenosis models is currently more in line with expectations,but their cost is high and they are unpopular,and rats and rabbits thus remain the main animal models.Balloon injury is the main mode of modeling.Different animal models and modeling method for vascular restenosis have advantages and disadvantages,and the model should be selected according to the experimental purpose.Animal models of vascular restenosis still have some limitations,however,and better animal models are required in the future.

Objectives:To observe the clinical characteristics of familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) in Chinese population and explore the suitable diagnostic criteria of FCS in China.Methods:We screened 6856 patients with triglyceride ≥10 mmol/L from 9 hospitals in China between January 2010 and December 2023.The overall clinical information was collected and FCS-related gene testing was performed in 102 patients with high suspicion of FCS.Demographic characteristics were analyzed and FCS diagnosis was drafted.The FDA FCS diagnostic criteria was used to verify the FCS patients diagnosed in this study.At the same time,the prevalence of FCS patients with fasting triglyceride ≥10 mmol/L was explored in some of the above hospitals.Results:In this study,the diagnostic criteria for FCS in Chinese population were drafted based on European and American diagnostic criteria and Chinese clinical practice:(1) Fasting triglyceride ≥ 10 mmol/L after standard lipid-lowering treatment;(2) With one of the below-listed conditions:positive detection of FCS related genes;family history of hypertriglyceridemia pancreatitis (HTGP);history of pancreatitis in adolescence or adult HTGP;history of repeated hospitalization with unexplained abdominal pain.According to this criteria,60 were preliminarily diagnosed with FCS from the 102 patients enrolled.Their average age was (43.0±8.6) years old,male accounted for 70％,average triglyceride was (20.0±15.0) mmol/L.FCS related gene mutations were detected in 6 patients,all were lipoprotein lipase gene mutations.According to the American FCS diagnostic criteria,among the 60 FCS patients diagnosed in this study,the proportion of patients with "possible FCS" was 98.3％ (59/60),and the proportion of patients with "confirmed FCS" was 70.0％ (42/60).According to the diagnostic criteria of FCS patients in this study,the prevalence of FCS patients with TG ≥10 mmol/L is about 0.5％ (33/6722).Conclusions:The clinical and genetic characteristics of Chinese patients with FCS are consistent with those of European and American patients.The diagnostic criteria for FCS drafted in this study can be further verified and promoted in Chinese population.

The global COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has infected over 109 million people, leading to over 2 million deaths up to date and still lacking of effective drugs for patient treatment. Here, we screened about 1.8 million small molecules against the main protease (M^pro) and papain like protease (PL^pro), two major proteases in severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 genome, and identified 1851M^pro inhibitors and 205 PL^pro inhibitors with low nmol/l activity of the best hits. Among these inhibitors, eight small molecules showed dual inhibition effects on both M^pro and PL^pro, exhibiting potential as better candidates for COVID-19 treatment. The best inhibitors of each protease were tested in antiviral assay, with over 40% of M^pro inhibitors and over 20% of PL^pro inhibitors showing high potency in viral inhibition with low cytotoxicity. The X-ray crystal structure of SARS-CoV-2 M^pro in complex with its potent inhibitor 4a was determined at 1.8 Å resolution. Together with docking assays, our results provide a comprehensive resource for future research on anti-SARS-CoV-2 drug development.
