Based on a typical ozone (O) pollution process in Jinan City from June 16 to 26, 2021, the variation characteristics of O and its precursor volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during different pollution periods (clean period (CP), pollution rise period (PRP), heavy pollution period (HPP), and pollution decline period (PDP)) in the urban area were analyzed. Both positive matrix factorization (PMF) and an observation-based model (OBM) were used to identify the main sources of VOCs, O production mechanisms, and sensitive species. The results showed that the average value of (O-8h) during the HPP period in the urban area was (246.

Herein, we reported that fluvoxamine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), used in depression and anxiety treatment, also exhibited therapeutic activities in IPF. Fluvoxamine inhibited cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) and stimulator of interferon genes (STING), restrained the activation of their downstream targets, including PERK/ eIF2α/ c-Myc/ miR-9-5p/ TBPL1 and TBK1/ YAP/ JNK1/2/ Bnip3/ CaMKII/ cofilin signaling, thus attenuated the activation and migration of fibroblasts upon TGF-β1 challenge.
