Objectives: Soil fauna plays a crucial role in contributing to litter breakdown, accelerating the decomposition rate and enhancing the biogeochemical cycle in terrestrial ecosystems. Comprehending the specific fauna role of functional species in litter decomposition is challenging due to their vast numbers and diversity. Climate and litter quality are widely acknowledged as dominant drives of litter decomposition across large spatial scales.

Purpose: To investigate the changes in thromboelastography (TEG) in patients with dyslipidemia to study its effect on the blood coagulation status.

Methods: 131 patients hospitalized in Fujian Provincial Jinshan Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were selected, and 64 cases in the hyperlipidemia (HL) group and 67 cases in the non-HL group were set according to whether their blood lipids were abnormal. By measuring the changes of each parameter of TEG in patients, the relevant parameters value, value, angle, and MA value were calculated.

Objective: Ribonucleotide reductase M2 (RRM2) as an enzyme that catalyzes the deoxyreduction of nucleosides to deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) has been extensively studied, and it plays a crucial role in regulating cell proliferation. However, its role in ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/RI) is still unclear.

Methods: SD rats were used as the research object to detect the expression of RRM2 in the myocardium by constructing an I/RI model.

Purpose: To evaluate the prognostic value of ghrelin, a growth hormone-releasing peptide, for mortality and readmission in elderly patients with acute heart failure (AHF).

Patients And Methods: We measured plasma ghrelin and pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels upon emergency admission in 241 prospectively recruited elderly AHF patients (61.0% men).
