Reactive Oxygen Species in Asthma: Regulators of Macrophage Polarization and Therapeutic Implications: A Narrative Review by Liu Y, Zhang M, Wang T, Zhang J

“…ARG1 rich M2 cells convert L-arginine into proline, fostering collagen deposition; Ym1/2, Fizz1 and CD206 correlate with airway remodeling and declining lung function. Emerging antioxidant and macrophage-polarization strategies that selectively modulate ROS show promise in rebalancing M1/M2 responses and attenuating airway hyper-responsiveness. …”

“Locality – Adaptation” Research of Hydropower Resettlement Communities in the Jinsha River Basin: A Case Study of Ludila Hydropower Station by Fang WANG, Zhuoqi LI, Haoyi XU, Jiaqi YAN

“…At the settlement scale, the Mask Region-based Convolutional Neural Network (Mask R-CNN) deep learning model is utilized to identify architectural spatial features, categorizing three typical building types: traditional pitched-roof buildings, uniformly planned flat-roof buildings, and color steel plate-modified structures. Through multi-source data fusion (including remote sensing, demographic statistics, and compensation records) and field investigations, the research quantitatively analyzes the “locality – adaptation” reconstruction process of resettlement communities across the three spatial dimensions of living, production, and cultural spaces.Results1) Land cover evolution: Water storage of hydropower station inundates 37.12 km2 of land (including 21.61 km² of high-quality cultivated land), resulting in a loss of 43.68% of settlement production space. 2) Adjustment of architectural space: 65.8% of dwellings in the original villages are traditional timber-earth buildings with a tile roof, which adapt to the climate environment of concentrated rainfall and sufficient sunshine in the Jinsha River Basin. 48.7% of the resettlement sites adopt unified flat roof planning, and 51.3% realize functional optimization through self-construction or renovation, with the average renovation area reaching 230.9 m2. 3) Transformation of livelihood system: The annual compensation mechanism only restores 15.79% of the cultivated land allocation before resettlement, and the proportion of compensation income drops from 82.71% in the initial stage of relocation to 33.15% after long-term resettlement, driving the adjustment of crop structure to high value-added cash crops. 4) Cultural space reconstruction: In the context of the disappearance of traditional water transport functions, the three cultural relics reconstructed in different places show a symbolic turn. …”
