The invention relates to a compound shown as formula (I), a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester or stereoisomer thereof. R1, R2, R3, R4, m, n, W, A, Z, E, F, X and Y are defined as the specification. The invention also relates to a preparation method of the compounds, pharmaceutical preparations and application in drugs for treatment and / or prevention of FXR (farnesoid X receptor) mediated nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases, primary biliary cirrhosis, lipid metabolism disorders, diabetic complications, malignant tumors and other related diseases. (formula (I)).

The present invention provides methods of identifying polypeptides that have enzymatic activity associated with nutrient and / or energy homeostasis, and thus, are involved in the development of one or more cardiovascular and metabolic disorders, e.g., cardiovascular disease, obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and metabolic syndrome. One such method comprises identifying a polypeptide as a member of the adiponutrin family of proteins. As such, the invention is related to the polynucleotides and polypeptides belonging to the adiponutrin family, and provides novel isolated and purified polynucleotides and polypeptides of a novel member of the adiponutrin family, patatin-like phospholipase domain 1 (PNPLA1). Also provided are methods of using the polynucleotides and polypeptides related to or provided by the invention for screening a test compound, e.g., a small molecule, antibody, etc., for the ability of the test compound to detect and / or modulate the activity of one or more members of the adiponutrin family of proteins. The present invention also is directed to novel methods for diagnosing, prognosing, and monitoring the progress of at least one cardiovascular and metabolic disorder using polynucleotides or polypeptides belonging to the adiponutrin family, and / or modulators of one or more members of the adiponutrin family. The present invention is further directed to novel therapeutics and therapeutic targets for the intervention (treatment) and prevention of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders arising from dysregulated energy homeostasis, as related to one or more members of the adiponutrin family of proteins.

The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and relates to a serum miRNA maker assemblage for detecting nonalcoholic fatty liver, and its application. The serum miRNA maker assemblage for detecting nonalcoholic fatty liver includes the following four has-microRNAs: hsa-miR-122-5p, hsa-miR-1290, hsa-miR-27b-3p and hsa-miR-192- 5p. The serum miRNA maker assemblage can realize early detection and rapid noninvasive detection of the nonalcoholic fatty liver.

Disclosed are: a marker for the diagnosis of a liver disease, which can determine the disease in a simple manner; an antibody directed against the marker; a diagnostic agent; a diagnosis method; and a method for marker detection in blood or serum. Proteome analysis revealed that quantities of the full-length kininogen and three partial peptides thereof (sequence A: position-440 to position-456, sequence B: position-439 to position-456, and sequence C: position-438 to position-456) in sera of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease are significantly different from those in sera of healthy individuals; and a diagnostic agent and a detecting method for the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease that can be conveniently used for medical examination are established. The use of a combination of a kininogen-based marker and a C4-based marker (the full length sequence or partial peptides thereof) enables identification of chronic hepatitis and an asymptomatic virus carrier, as well as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
