ABSTRACT

Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) can reflect cancer prognosis and clinical outcomes in various tumour tissues. Tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) are indispensable components of the tumour microenvironment and play crucial roles in tumour development and immunotherapy. TAMs are associated with TLS induction via the modulation of the T cell response, which is a major component of the TLS. Despite their important roles in cancer immunology, the subtypes of TAMs that influence TLS and their correlation with prognosis are not completely understood. Here, we provide novel insights into the role of TAMs in regulating TLS formation. Furthermore, we discuss the prognostic value of these TAM subtypes and TLS, as well as the current antitumour therapies for inducing TLS. This study highlights an entirely new field of TLS regulation that may lead to the development of an innovative perspective on immunotherapy for cancer treatment.

ABSTRACT

Permeable pavements can decrease the volume of stormwater, thereby mitigating the risk of flooding and reducing the urban heat island effect. This study investigated the influence of incorporating granulated blast-furnace slag (GBFS), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), and polypropylene plastic textile fiber (PPTF) on the mechanical properties and water permeability of pervious concrete. Orthogonal tests were employed to conduct the analysis. The findings indicate that the pervious concrete with GBFS, HPMC, and PPTF (termed GBFS-HPMC/fiber pervious concrete) exhibited the highest cubic compressive strength, ultimate tensile strength, and flexural strength. These values were 25.22 MPa, 3.36 MPa, and 5.39 MPa, respectively. The standard deviations for cubic compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, water permeability coefficient, and porosity, as calculated using SPSS, were 1.57, 0.1, 1.17, 0.35, and 0.4, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were used to analyze the microstructure and compositional combinations of the pervious concrete. The analyses revealed that the calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) gel, produced by GBFS hydration, enhanced the bonding within the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) and between the fibers and aggregates. Additionally, the anchoring and supporting effects of the PPTF in the matrix contributed to stabilizing the overall matrix structure. Lastly, a gray correlation analysis was applied to optimize the admixture. The findings indicate that following the optimization, the cubic compressive strength increased by 7.2%, splitting tensile strength by 2.1%, and flexural strength by 2.5%. In summary, the mechanical properties of pervious concrete improved after optimizing the admixture.
