The purpose of this study is to identify the different effects exerted by planting density and nitrogen fertilization on high-salinity reclaimed paddy fields (RPF) and general paddy fields (GPFs), and to find the amount of fertilization and the planting density suitable for the growth of forage rice in each paddy field. Nitrogen fertilization with high-salt and low-salt soils, an untreated control plot, treatment with 200 kg/ha, 300 kg/ha, and 400 kg/ha, and planting densities of 30 cm × 10 cm and 30 cm × 16 cm, growth, and feed values were investigated. In both experimental locations, there was no significant change in the soil due to N treatment, but in the case of RPF, electrical conductivity (EC) decreased significantly from more than 5 dS/m to up to 2.

This original research was performed to determine the effectiveness of MgSO (MS) and CaSO (CS) for each species and assess changes in the physiology and growth of fodder crops after short and long-term salt stress. Six treatments (CON (control); NaCl (NaCl 100 mM); 1 MS (1 mM MgSO + 100 mM NaCl); 2 MS (2 mM MgSO + 100 mM NaCl); 7.

However, the invasion pattern revealed by the pathological examination of tumor specimens is often not consistent with the findings of preprocedural endoscopic ultrasounds (EUS). We compared the real growing patterns of tumors, as evaluated on histopathological examination, with their EUS images, and analyzed the outcomes of endoscopic resections in relation to the EUS findings.

Aims: To analyze the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic subserosal dissection (ESSD) for tumors growing in the subserosal space.
Methods: This observation study enrolled 18 patients who were diagnosed with gastric tumors and underwent ESSD at the Presbyterian Medical Center from 2010 to March 2019.
Misoprostol is reported to prevent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-associated gastroduodenal complications. There is, however, limited information regarding the efficacy of DA-9601 in this context. We performed a comparative study on the relative efficacy of DA-9601 and misoprostol for prevention of NSAID-associated complications.
