Nitrogen (N) is one of the essential nutrients for plant growth. Appropriate application of N can improve the N use efficiency (NUE) and significantly promote plants' growth. However, under N toxic conditions, the relationship between the growth and antioxidant system of invasive plants under different N forms and competitive treatments is not fully understood. Therefore, in this study, the performance of invasive species and its native species was evaluated under two sets of N forms and ratios, namely, NH -N(AN)/NO -N(NN) = 2:1 and NH -N(AN)/NO -N(NN) = 1:2 along with two intraspecific and interspecific competitions under without N and high N level of 15 g N⋅m year, respectively. Data regarding the growth indices, antioxidant enzyme activities, including peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA), and proline contents were determined. Results showed that for competitive treatments, growth status was better for interspecific competition than intraspecific competition. The plant biomass of was significantly higher than that of . N significantly promoted the plants' growth in terms of leaf area and biomass yield, and the antioxidant enzyme activities were significantly increased under a high N treatment than that of the control. Among N forms/ratios, ammonium N (AN)/nitrate N (NN) = 2:1 significantly enhanced the enzyme activity, particularly in . Furthermore, for intraspecific competition, MDA contents of were significantly decreased compared to that of . In conclusion, our results showed that adapted well under competitive conditions through better growth and antioxidant defense system.

Background: A proportion of patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) have inadequate symptom control with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) treatment. Vonoprazan demonstrates higher efficacy in acid reduction than PPI; however, the existing efficacy data for vonoprazan in treating PPI-refractory FD is limited.

Methods: This double-blinded, randomized controlled trial study was conducted at Rajavithi Hospital, Bangkok between December 2022 and 2023.

Chemo-resistance in ovarian cancer is currently a major obstacle to the treatment and recovery of ovarian cancer. Therefore, identifying factors associated with chemo-resistance in ovarian cancer may reverse chemo-sensitization. Using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (ITRAQ) technology, we found a small molecule peptide with annexin 1 (ANXA1) as a precursor protein.

Background: A competency-based education approach calls for frequent workplace-based assessments (WBA) of Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs). While mobile applications increase the efficiency, it is not known how many assessments are required for reliable ratings and whether the concept can be implemented in all sizes of residency programs.

Methods: Over 5 months, a mobile app was used to assess 10 different EPAs in daily clinical routine in Swiss anesthesia departments.
