Response of South Asia PM2.5 pollution to ammonia emission changes and associated impacts on human health by Yuanlin Wang, Eiko Nemitz, Samuel J. Tomlinson, Edward J. Carnell, Liquan Yao, Janice Scheffler, Tomas Liska, Clare Pearson, Ulrike Dragosits, Chandra Venkataraman, Srinidhi Balasubramanian, Rachel Beck, Mark A. Sutton, Massimo Vieno

“…Whilst much attention has been given to understanding the contribution of primary emissions, the contribution of agriculture to PM2.5 concentrations, especially from agricultural ammonia (NH3) emissions, remains less explored. Using an advanced regional atmospheric chemistry and transport modelling system (WRF-EMEP) with a new estimate of anthropogenic NH3 emissions inputs, we estimate the influence of agricultural NH3 emissions on surface PM2.5 in South Asia and evaluate the health impacts and the economic losses attributable to PM2.5 in 2018. …”

Mechanism of salvianolic phenolic acids and hawthorn triterpenic acids combination in intervening atherosclerosis: network pharmacology, molecular docking, and experimental validat... by Qu Zhai, Shixi Shang, Zihan Zhang, Lihua Sun, Ying Huang, Shuyi Feng, Qian Wu, Haifeng Cui, Xiaolu Shi

“…Furthermore, SHC was observed to downregulate the expression of NF-κB and p38-MAPK in the carotid region. The results of molecular docking demonstrated that the core compounds of SHC, including salvianolic acid A, B, and C, maslinic acid, ursolic acid, and oleic acid, were capable of stably binding to the core targets NF-κB and MAPK14.ConclusionIt is hypothesized that SHC may reduce lipid deposition and plaque formation in AS by regulating blood lipids, a process that may be closely linked to the inhibition of inflammatory regulator expression, including NF-κB and p38-MAPK.…”
