Abdominal aortic aneurysm(AAA)is characterized by a localized and irreversible enlargement of the abdominal aorta,which poses a significant risk to life in the event of rupture.Currently,the primary treatment for AAA is surgical intervention,as there are no effective pharmacological therapies available to prevent or slow postoperative vascular dilation.Therefore,understanding the detailed pathogenesis of AAA and identifying effective prevention and treatment strategies is essential.This review begins by examining the pathological and molecular mechanisms involved in AAA,fo-cusing on key research areas such as the phenotypic switching of vascular smooth muscle cells,inflammation and metabolic reprogramming.Based on a large of animal and clinical studies,this review then explores therapeutic strategies and prom-ising drugs for AAA,including mesenchymal stem cell therapy,nanomaterial applications,and immunomodulatory inter-ventions.The review aims to provide researchers with new ideas and directions for the prevention and treatment of AAA.

Objective To investigate the effect of endoscopic prebiopsy forceps on the detection rate of polyps in the right semicolon.Method Clinical data of 148 patients diagnosed and treated from March 2022 to December 2022 who were detected as polyps in the right semicolon by general electronic colonoscopy were collected,and clinical data of the patients who underwent endoscopic prebiopsy forceps were re-examined and the patients underwent endoscopic treatment within 1 month.The differences in general data,polyp number detected,polyp size,morphology and pathological diagnosis between the two groups were analyzed and compared.Results 168 polyps were detected in the right semicolon in the general colonoscopy group,and 41 polyps were missed in reexamination using endoscopic prebiopsy forceps,with a missed diagnosis rate of 19.62%.The detection rate of<5 mm polyps was higher in the endoscopic prebiopsy forceps group than that of general colonoscopy group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The polyps in the two groups were mainly wide-basal type,and the pathological properties were mainly tubular adenoma,there was no statistical significance among all groups(P>0.05).No complications such as bleeding and perforation occurred in the two groups.Conclusion Endoscopic prebiopsy forceps can significantly improve the detection rate of polyps in the right semicolon,in particular,the intraoperative search for disappeared preoperatively identified intestinal polyps,as well as smaller diameter intestinal polyps,which is worthy of further clinical promotion.

Objective:To analyze the results of syphilis specific serological tests among entry personnel in Beijing port during year 201 2 -201 4 in order to provide evidence for the prevention and control of syphilis.Methods:Demographics data and syphilis specific test results of entry personnel were obtained from the information system of Beijing International Travel Healthcare Center and input into Excel 201 6. Database for entry personnel was built up accordingly and was analyzed by IBMSPSS22.0.Results:The number of entry personnel in Beijing port during year 201 2 -201 4 was 1 06 302 person-time.According to the evaluation criteria,71 308 persons were recruited and analyzed,of whom 277 were tested serologi-cally positive and the total prevalence was 0.39% (95% CI:0.34% -0.43%).The prevalence was highest in the persons aged 40 -49 years (0.81 %)and was higher in males (0.50%)than in females (0.23%).The persons from Africa held higher prevalence (1 .27%)than from other five regions.As multivariate logical regression analysis indicated that the risk of syphilis infection was 1 0.38 times more in the persons aged 40 -49 years than in the persons <20 years (95%CI:5.59 -1 9.28),and 1 .85 times more in males than in females (95%CI:1 .40 -2.44).For the people from Africa,South America and Asia,the infection risks were respectively 4.89 times (95%CI:2.97 -8.06),4.82 times (95%CI:2.39 -9.74)and 1 .72 times (95%CI:1 .1 5 -2.59)more than that for the people from North Ameri-ca.Rising trend of the prevalence was observed in both genders by age groups (P value for trend χ2 <0.05).Except for Asia,the prevalences of the people from other five regions were rising slightly by years,however there were no obvious trends (P value for trend χ2 >0.05).Twenty-seven seropositive cases were found within 6 246 entry persons who were tested repeatedly during the research period,9 of which were seroconversion cases so that the cumulative conversion rate was 0.1 4% (9 /6 228).The average conversion time was (6.3 ±3.0)months.There was no statistical significance between the cu-mulative seroconversion rates of the persons with different genders and nationalities (P of Fisher’s exact test >0.05).Conclusion:Serological detection of syphilis for entry personnel in Beijing port and syphi-lis-related health education should be reinforced to reduce the risk of disease importing and spreading, protect susceptible subjects and promote health.
