Identification and Analysis of Key Immune- and Inflammation-Related Genes in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis by Tan Y, Qian B, Ma Q, Xiang K, Wang S

“…Six distinct immune cells, including naive CD4 T cells, T cells CD4 memory resting, T cells regulatory (Tregs), Monocytes, Macrophages M2, Neutrophils were identified. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) results were consistent with the training and validation sets, and the expression of these key genes was significantly upregulated in the IPF samples.Conclusion: This study identified three key genes (RNASE3, S100A12 and S100A8) associated with immune response and inflammation in IPF, providing valuable insights into the diagnosis and treatment of IPF.Summary: This study focuses on cutting-edge research in IPF, with special attention to the development dynamics and application potential of IPF. …”

Experimental Study on Deformation Monitoring of Large Landslide in Reservoir Area of Hydropower Station Based on GB-InSAR by Yanhui Guo, Zhiquan Yang, Yi Yang, Zhijun Kong, Caikun Gao, Weiming Tian

“…The results show that, during the monitoring period, Lagu landslide of Dahuaqiao hydropower station and No. 1 landslide on the left bank of Xiaowan hydropower station are basically stable, and the deformation trend of Xiaozhaju landslide is obvious so it should undergo continuous monitoring. At the same time, the field monitoring test also shows that the new ground-based interferometric synthetic aperture radar system LKR-05-KU-S100 has the advantages of high precision and long-distance, all-day, all-weather, and large-scale monitoring and has unique advantages and broad application prospects for the overall deformation monitoring of large landslides in the reservoir area.…”
