Bone-mimicking scaffold based on silk fibroin incorporated with hydroxyapatite and titanium oxide as enhanced osteo-conductive material for bone tissue formation: fabrication, characterization, properties, andtesting.

Bone-mimicking scaffolds based on silk fibroin (SF) mixed with hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HA NPs) and titanium oxide (TiO) nanoparticles were created as materials for bone formation. Six scaffold groups were fabricated: S1 (SF), S2 (Silk + (HA: TiO; 100: 0)), S3 (Silk, (HA: TiO; 70: 30)), S4 (Silk + (HA NPs: TiO; 50: 50)), S5 (Silk + (HA: TiO; 30: 70)), and S6 (Silk + (HA NPs: TiO; 0:100)). Scaffolds were characterized for molecular formation, structure, and morphology by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, element analysis, and X-ray diffraction.

Experience of online physiology laboratory teaching for undergraduate students during the COVID-19 pandemic in Thailand.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted traditional face-to-face human physiology teaching for students at the Faculty of Medicine, Thammasat University, Thailand since February 2020. An online curriculum for both lectures and laboratory sessions was developed to continue the education. This work compared the effectiveness of online physiology labs to the traditional onsite counterparts for 120 dental and pharmacy sophomore students during the 2020 academic year.

Using Facebook for Ongoing Learning Promotes Higher National Licensing Examination Success.

Objective: This study proposes Facebook usage as a motivational vehicle for studying block subjects in Problem-Based Learning Curriculum. Facebook page engagement should allow self-motivated medical students the opportunity to review subject materials. Frequent use and practice resulted in better National Licensing Examination step 1 (NLE1) scores amongst frequent users of posted material.

Possibility of using superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase as endometriosis biomarkers.

Objective: To study the possibility of using superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) as combined preoperative biomarkers for endometriosis.

Participants And Methods: Female patients aged between 18 and 45 years old who came to the Gynecology outpatient clinic, Thammasat University Hospital, during September 2013-2016 with the complaint of gynecologic symptoms suspected of endometriosis, and who were positively diagnosed with endometriosis, were included in this study. All patients underwent conservative laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy with histopathological report.

Perception of social networking benefits in the support of a PBL module according to students' performance levels.

Background: The use ofsocial networking to all levels of medical teaching as a communication tool between instructors and students has drawn much interest and increased usage. As Facebook is one of the most popular social networking sites among students, a Facebook page has been used in the Genitourinary System problem-based learning (PBL) course at the Faculty of Medicine, Thammasat University in the year 2014.

Objective: The objective of this work is to study the perception ofusing a Facebook page to support PBL in an integrated pre- clinical year course.

Antimullerian hormone changes after laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy for endometrioma compared with the nonovarian conditions.

Laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy is recommended for surgical procedure of endometrioma. The negative impact on ovarian reserve following removal had been documented. Little evidence had been reported for nonovarian originated effects.

Impact of hemostasis methods, electrocoagulation versus suture, in laparoscopic endometriotic cystectomy on the ovarian reserve: a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To evaluate the impact on ovarian reserve between two different methods ofhemostasis after laparoscopic ovarian endometrioma excision.

Material And Method: A randomized controlled study was conducted from January to December 2013 in Thammasat University Hospital, Thailand. Reproductive women, age 18-45years who underwent laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy were randomized in electrocoagulation and suture groups.
