The present invention relates to a polysubstituted imidazolo[4,5-c][1,2]thiazine derivative and a use of an agent comprising same as an active agent, which is useful for infectious diseases associated with vascular inflammation caused by HMGB1 protein activity. It has been found that the polysubstituted imidazolo[4,5-c][1,2]thiazine derivative of the present invention increases the sepsis survival rate as a result of searching for antiseptic effects through CLP-induced sepsis animal experiments. Accordingly, the agent comprising the polysubstituted imidazolo[4,5-c][1,2]thiazine derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active agent may be advantageously used as a therapeutic agent for infectious diseases and vascular inflammatory diseases including sepsis caused by HMGB1 protein activity.

The present application relates to the field of medicine, in particular to the use of POU2F2 gene or protein in screening products for preventing or treating atherosclerosis. The present application first discloses that POU2F2 can be used as a key pathogenic target of atherosclerosis, and on this basis, a candidate drug linagliptin is screened. The experimental results show that in the in vitro atherosclerosis model, linagliptin can significantly inhibit the expression of POU2F2 and down-regulate the levels of inflammatory factors and adhesion molecules. The findings clarify the mechanism of linagliptin in regulating POU2F2 related signal pathways, inhibiting vascular inflammatory response and reducing vascular endothelial damage, and fully show that it has a good clinical application prospect in preparing drugs for preventing or treating atherosclerosis and its related cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

The present invention describes a new functional biomarker of vascular inflammation and its use in predicting all-cause or cardiac mortality. The invention also provides a method for stratifying patients according to their risk of all-cause or cardiac mortality using data gathered from a computer tomography scans of a blood vessel to determine a specific combination of structural and functional biomarkers of vascular inflammation and disease.
