Objectives: To investigate the expression levels of ghrelin and liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide-2 (LEAP-2) in children with idiopathic short stature (ISS) to provide reference for further understanding the etiology of short stature.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted from December 2021 to October 2023, involving 46 children diagnosed with ISS (ISS group) and 46 healthy children with normal height (control group) at the First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University. General data and serum levels of ghrelin and LEAP-2 were compared between the two groups.
Article Synopsis
- Understanding the variation of soil clay content at different depths is crucial for efficient water management, soil fertility, and crop growth, but large-scale studies on this topic are limited.
- The research analyzed 1446 soil profiles from China, classifying them into three depth categories and employing advanced models like random forest and SHAP to explore the relationship between clay content and environmental factors.
- Findings revealed that clay content increases with soil depth, influenced by temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, and elevation, with specific environmental thresholds identified for effective soil management under climate change.
