Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common and potentially life-threatening condition. Chronic aortic inflammation is closely associated with the pathogenesis of AAA. Nerve injury-induced protein 1 (NINJ1) is increasingly acknowledged as a significant regulator of the inflammatory process.

- - The study focused on examining the ultrasound (US) characteristics of cystic parts in salivary gland tumors (SGTs) by analyzing data from 207 patients with confirmed primary SGTs.
- - Key findings indicated that although benign (B-SGTs) and malignant (M-SGTs) tumors showed similar US features, there were significant differences in patient demographics and the specific characteristics of cystic components.
- - The research concluded that understanding the cystic features can enhance the differential diagnosis between B-SGTs and M-SGTs, suggesting that these characteristics should be considered alongside other lesion indicators to improve diagnostic accuracy.

Purpose: To explore the differential diagnosis of salivary gland tumors by multimodal ultrasound and to establish a preliminary scoring system by assigning meaningful parameters.
Methods: Seventy-seven tumors from 69 patients with salivary gland tumors were examined by two-dimensional gray-scale ultrasound, color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI), superb microvascular imaging(SMI), real time tissue elastography(RTE) and acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI). Different scoring schemes were obtained for the assignment and combination of meaningful parameters.

Objective: The present study aimed to characterize and differentiate the ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT) features of mammary analogue secretory carcinoma (MASC) and acinic cell carcinoma (AciCC).
Methods And Patients: A total of 83 patients with clinically proven MASC and AciCC were analyzed. The following characteristics were assessed on US, CT, and magnetic resonance imaging: lesion size, shape, margin, echogenicity, echotexture, cystic components, posterior echo, vascularity, density, degree of enhancement, enhancement pattern, signal intensity (SI) on T1- and T2-weighted images (WI), hemorrhages, and lymph node enlargement.
Role of ultrasound in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of deep infantile hemangioma and venous malformation.

Objective: For vascular anomalies, when clinical findings are not sufficient, auxiliary examination is essential. In this study, we characterize and differentiate the ultrasound (US) findings of deep infantile hemangioma (DIH) and venous malformation (VM).
Methods: A total of 135 patients (140 lesions) with clinically proven DIH and VM were analyzed.
