Sixteen new species of Jäger, 2000 (Sparassidae, Heteropodinae) are described. Among them, eight species were collected from China: Zhao & Li, (♂), Zhao & Li, (♂), Zhao & Li, (♂), Zhao & Li, (♂), Zhao & Li, (♂), Zhao & Li, (♂♀), Zhao & Li, (♀) and Zhao & Li, (♂); seven from Myanmar: Zhao & Li, (♂♀), Zhao & Li, (♂), Zhao & Li, (♂), Zhao & Li, . (♂), Zhao & Li, (♂♀), Zhao & Li, (♂♀), Zhao & Li, (♂); and one from Thailand: Zhao & Li, (♂). A distribution map of the new species is also provided.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is strongly correlated with obesity, partially due to the abnormal expansion of abdominal perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT). Cell death-inducing DNA fragmentation factor-like effector C (CIDEC), also known as fat-specific protein 27 (FSP27) in rodents, is specifically expressed in adipose tissue where it mediates lipid droplet fusion and adipose tissue expansion. Whether and how CIDEC/FSP27 plays a role in AAA pathology remains elusive.

Objective: To assess the impact of lipid-lowering drugs (LLDs) and antihypertensive drugs on the risk of aortic diseases.
Methods: Mendelian randomization was utilized to analyze data from 500,000 participants in the UK Biobank to evaluate the effects of statins, PCSK9 inhibitors (PCSK9i), beta-blockers, and calcium channel blockers on the risks of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA), abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and aortic dissection (AD) using genetic variants as proxies. Real-world pharmacovigilance data from the FAERS database was used.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of frailty and inflammation on all-cause mortality in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) who underwent endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), and key risk factors were also explored.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 174 patients with AAA who underwent EVAR at Beijing Hospital between 2016 and 2024. Frailty was assessed using the modified five-item Frailty Index (mFI-5).

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is the most prevalent dilated arterial aneurysm that poses a significant threat to older adults, but the molecular mechanisms linking senescence to AAA progression remain poorly understood. This study aims to identify cellular senescence-related genes (SRGs) implicated in AAA development and assess their potential as therapeutic targets. Four hundred and twenty-nine differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified from the GSE57691 training set, and 867 SRGs were obtained.

The activation of the dynein transport machinery requires the opening of its autoinhibited Phi conformation by Lis1 and Nde1/Ndel1, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Using biochemical reconstitution and cryo-electron microscopy, we show that Nde1 significantly enhances Lis1 binding to autoinhibited dynein and facilitates the opening of Phi.
