    BACKGROUND: Major disruptions and changes in education have occurred worldwide as a result of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and the ensuing shift from in-person to online education. However, the effect of such changes on medical education, its magnitude, and the learning domains impacted by such rapid changes have not been adequately addressed, particularly with regard to objective assessment approaches. METHODS: Second-year medical students enrolled in our Medical English Course between 2019 and 2021 were recruited from Hokkaido University, Japan (N = 321) to participate in this study. We evaluated the potential impact of teaching styles on the academic performance of students before (2019; face-to-face) and during (2020; online; 2021; in-person and online) the pandemic. We examined the potential effect of three teaching styles--in-person (2019), online (2020), and a combination of these (2021) on the academic performance of medical students using: (i) subjective assessment of self-reported general English skills, including reading, writing, listening, and speaking; and (ii) objective assessment of medical terminology scores, evidence-based medicine (EBM) skills, and final written exam scores. RESULTS: In-person education significantly improved listening and speaking skills in 2019 (p < 0.001). This trend was observed for writing skills in an online course in 2020 (p = 0.001). With the combined teaching method, students reported significant improvements in all four English skills. In our objective assessments, medical terminology improved significantly post-test versus pre-test for all three teaching styles, and we found that the online course did not adversely affect the gain in medical terminology knowledge during the course. Additionally, we did not find any significant differences across the three applied teaching styles regarding EBM skill levels. It is noteworthy that the students taking online courses had a significantly higher final exam score (mean ± SD; 82.8 ± 8.2) than in in-person (78.6 ± 8.8) and combined (79.7 ± 12.1) teaching styles. CONCLUSIONS: In our study, the online/combined courses showed better academic outcomes compared to the face-to-face course in the preclinical clerkship. Although the current results need to be replicated on a larger scale, online/combined courses can continue and evolve in the post-pandemic education of medical students. Medical schools and institutions should consider incorporating such courses, especially combined courses, into their curricula in the future to improve the effectiveness, accessibility, and flexibility of medical education.

    In 2019 and before the COVID-19 pandemic, about 68% of our medical students in Japan wished to engage in academic activities abroad. However, in 2020 and during the pandemic, this percentage fell to 35%. We found a significant increase in the number of students wishing to go abroad for studies/training in 2021 than in 2020, taking the percentage to the prepandemic level in 2019.

    Background: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the current study methods and future plans of medical students compared to those in the pre-pandemic period.

    Methods: Second-grade medical students reported their academic experiences, study methods, and future career plans before (between 2016 and 2019) and during the pandemic (2020) using a questionnaire-based survey at Hokkaido University, Japan (n = 534).

    Results: From 2016 to 2019, we found an increasing trend for participation in short-term international exchange programs, taking the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), clinical training, and undertaking research abroad among the students. However, these percentages significantly declined (to 35.5%) during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 for all the assessed future plans, including short-term exchange programs (-27.9%), taking USMLE (-19.8%), clinical training (-24.5%), and undertaking research abroad (-13.2%) compared to 2019, wherein 67.9% of the students wished to have at least one of these four above-mentioned academic activities.

    Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic adversely and significantly influenced our medical students’ plans to go abroad for clinical and research training. Future studies are warranted to assess the long-term influence of this pandemic on the career planning of medical students.

    This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. BackgroundMisdiagnoses are associated with various cognitive biases, which are difficult to reduce even if physicians think about clinical cases deliberately. We propose a new "2-Dimensional Approach" that combines two perspectives in diagnostic reasoning: organs (brain, heart, lung, intestine/liver, kidney) and systems (metabolic, endocrine, blood/tumor, infection, immune, circulatory, nervous systems). Systems involve throughout the whole body and can be pathogenesis of diseases. As a result of diseases, organs show abnormal vital signs and symptoms. We investigated: (1) whether each individual resident has a bias for either organs or systems when they diagnose clinical cases, and (2) whether the 2D Approach can reduce such a bias.MethodsWe randomly assigned PGY1 residents (n=105) to either the 2D Approach group (n=45) or a control group (n=60). After attending either a lecture on the 2D Approach or a non-related lecture, residents were asked to diagnose two clinical cases. We divided each diagnosis into one of the two categories, either "organs" or "systems". We investigated whether each resident would diagnose the two cases into the same category, either organs or systems (i.e., a bias for either organs or systems).ResultsThe participants in the control group tended to diagnose the two cases into the same category, either organs or systems (OR: 5.63, 95% CI: 1.62-21.7, p=0.0030, Fisher's exact test). In the 2D Approach group, the category of diagnoses for the two cases were not related to each other (OR: 2.14, 95% CI: 0.50-9.81, p=0.33).ConclusionThere is a bias for either organs or systems when residents diagnose clinical cases, suggesting that organs and systems are different perspectives in diagnostic reasoning. By combining these 2 different perspectives in a 2-dimensional matrix, the 2D Approach reduces this bias.

    This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Background: Clinical reasoning is an essential competence of a physician. Particularly, pathophysiological understanding is the key for novices to organize their knowledge and improve clinical reasoning. To this end, we propose a "2-Dimensional (2D) Approach" that visualizes pathophysiology by using a matrix of organs and systems. Methods: This study was a prospective observational study of 100 residents (PGY-1), who attended a lecture on the 2D Approach. They underwent a pre- and post-test that assessed their ability to list differentials for various symptoms and to choose the most likely diagnosis for a case vignette. We stratified the participants according to their baseline knowledge level on the pretest into 2 groups (high-knowledge and low-knowledge). In each of the 2 groups, we compared the change in the pre- and post-test scores between participants who used the 2D Approach during the posttest and those who did not. Results: In the high-knowledge group (n=59), the change in the pre- and post-test scores was significantly larger in the 2D Approach users than non-users (p=0.046), while in the low-knowledge group (n=41), there was no significant difference in the change of the scores between the 2D Approach users and non-users. Conclusions: On condition that residents have sufficient knowledge, the 2D Approach helps them organize their knowledge and improve their clinical reasoning skills, through visualization of pathophysiology on a matrix of organs and systems.

    Study Design. A retrospective single-center study. Objective. To investigate how functional recovery is influenced by anterior compression of the spinal cord (ACS) and instability at the level of ACS after laminoplasty in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Summary of Background Data. There have been many reports that patients whose spinal cord cannot be decompressed sufficiently after laminoplasty are likely to show unsatisfactory neurologic outcomes. Notably, postoperative ACS is well known to cause problems. Clinically, however, it remains unknown how functional recovery is inhibited by postoperative ACS. Methods. Sixty-four consecutive patients who underwent expansive laminoplasty for the treatment of myelopathy at our hospital between 1998 and 2005 were reviewed. All 64 patients were available for follow-up. The average follow-up period was 97 months (60-156 months). Patients were divided into 2 groups: the ACS(+) group comprised 16 patients who had ACS 3 years postoperatively, and the ACS(-) group comprised 48 patients with no ACS. Clinical outcome was compared in terms of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score ( mean total score, mean score of each item, and recovery rates). Results. Demographics were similar between the 2 groups. Mean Japanese Orthopaedic Association score at final follow-up was 12.1 points (recovery rate 34.0%) in the ACS(+) group and 13.8 points (recovery rate 56.6%) in the ACS(-) group, and there was a significant difference in recovery rate between the groups (P < 0.05). Notably, a significant difference was found between the 2 groups in improvement of upper extremity motor function (P < 0.05). In addition, we found that not only the presence of ACS but also postoperative hypermobility of the intervertebral segment with ACS influenced clinical outcome negatively. Conclusion. These results demonstrate that ACS after laminoplasty could be a risk factor for clinical outcome and might prevent improvement in upper extremity motor function in patients with myelopathy.

    Study Design. Prospective, comparative clinical study. Objective. To compare the clinical outcome of anterior decompression and fusion with floating method and laminoplasty in the treatment of cervical myelopathy caused by ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). Summary of Background Data. There have been no reports that have accurately and prospectively compared surgical outcomes after anterior decompression and posterior decompression. Methods. For cervical myelopathy caused by OPLL, we performed anterior decompression and fusion with floating method (ADF) in 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003, and 2004 and French-door laminoplasty (LAMP) in 1996, 1998, 2000, and 2002 at one institution. Twenty patients in the ADF group and 22 patients in the LAMP group were evaluated for 5 years' follow-up. The following criteria were evaluated: operation time, blood loss, complications, and Japanese Orthopedic Association score. For radiographic evaluation, canal narrowing ratio of OPLL, lordotic angle at C2-C7, and postoperative progression of the ossified lesion were measured. Results. The operation time in the ADF group was longer than that in the LAMP group. The average blood loss showed no statistical difference between the 2 groups. Complications occurred in 5 cases in the ADF group, but none occurred in the LAMP group. The mean Japanese Orthopedic Association score system for cervical myelopathy and the recovery rate in the ADF group were superior to those in the LAMP group, especially for cases with greater than 50% of the spinal canal compromised by OPLL or kyphotic alignment of the cervical spine, preoperatively. Postoperative progression of OPLL was observed in 5% of the ADF group and 50% of the LAMP group. Conclusion. ADF is considered especially suitable for cases with massive OPLL and preoperative kyphotic alignment of the cervical spine, although it leads to a higher incidence of surgery-related complications compared with LAMP.

    Study Design. A clinical prospective study. Objective. To assess whether clinical and radiologic outcomes differ between anterior decompression and fusion (ADF) and laminoplasty (LAMP) in the treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). Summary of Background Data. No reports to date have accurately and prospectively compared middle-term clinical outcomes after anterior and posterior decompression for CSM. Methods. We prospectively performed LAMP (n = 50) in 1996, 1998, 2000, and 2002, and ADF (n = 45) in 1997, 1999, 2001, and 2003. The Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score, recovery rate, and each item of the JOA score were evaluated. For radiographic evaluation, the lordotic angle and range of motion (ROM) at C2-C7 and residual anterior compression to the spinal cord (ACS) after LAMP on magnetic resonance imaging were investigated. Results. Eighty-six patients (ADF n = 39; LAMP n = 47) could be followed for more than 5 years (follow-up rate 91.5%). Demographics were similar between the two groups. The mean JOA score and recovery rate in the ADF group were superior to those in the LAMP group from 2-year data collected after surgery. However, LAMP was safer and less invasive than ADF with respect to physical status and complications in the perioperative period. For individual items of the JOA score, the ADF group showed significantly more improvement of upper extremity motor function than the LAMP group (P < 0.05). There was a significant difference in maintenance of the lordotic angle in the ADF group compared with the LAMP group despite no difference in ROM. The LAMP group was divided into two subgroups: (1) LAMP(+) (n = 16) comprising patients who had ACS at 2 years after surgery, and (2) LAMP(-) (n = 31) comprising patients without ACS. Recovery rate differed significantly between the LAMP(+) and LAMP(-) groups despite there being no difference between the LAMP(-) and ADF groups. Conclusion. The recovery rate of the JOA score in the ADF group was better than that in the LAMP group. The clinical outcomes after LAMP could be influenced by ACS.

    Study Design. Retrospective case series. Objective. To investigate risk factors for early reconstruction failure of multilevel cervical corpectomy with dynamic plate fixation. Summary of Background Data. For anterior cervical decompression and fusion, reinforcement by plate fixation was performed to decrease early reconstruction failure and to increase the fusion rate. However, a relatively high complication rate such as graft dislodgement, has been reported in patients undergoing multilevel corpectomy and reconstruction. Risk factors associated with early reconstruction failure have not been explicitly described. Methods. In 30 instrumented multilevel corpectomy and reconstruction, medical records and radiographic studies were reviewed to investigate risk factors with regard to sagittal alignment of the cervical spine, graft subsidence, screws used in fixation, endplate preparation, and intermediate screw for fibular graft. Results. Reconstruction failures included anterior slipping at the bottom of the graft in 2 cases, fracture of the C7 vertebral body in 2 cases, and pullout of a screw in 2 cases. Four patients were found to have nonunion of the graft at the final follow-up, but none had experienced early reconstruction failure. On radiologic measurement, the fusion area lordotic angle after surgery in the patients with reconstruction failures was significantly larger than that of the patients with no complications. The postoperative C2-C7 lordotic angles of the patients with reconstruction failure were also larger, but this trend was not statistically significant. No other factor, such as age and gender, type of screw used, intermediate screw or preservation of the endplates was related to reconstruction failures in this study. Conclusion. Postoperative cervical hyperlordosis may adversely affect graft stability in the early postoperative period of the surgery of corpectomy and reconstruction with dynamic plate fixation.

    Study Design. Retrospective multi-institutional study Objective. To describe the surgical outcomes in patients with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament in the thoracic spine (T-OPLL) and to clarify factors related to the surgical outcomes. Summary of Background Data. Detailed analyses of surgical outcomes of T-OPLL have been difficult because of the rarity of this disease. Methods. The subjects were 154 patients with T-OPLL who were surgically treated at 34 institutions between 1998 and 2002. The surgical procedures were laminectomy in 36, laminoplasty in 51, anterior decompression via anterior approach in 25 and via posterior approach in 29, combined anterior and posterior fusion in 8, and sternum splitting approach in 5 patients. Instrumentation was conducted in 52 patients. Assessments were made on (1) The Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scores (full score, 11 points), its recovery rates, (2) factors related to surgical results, and (3) complications and their consequences. Results. (1) The mean JOA score before surgery was 4.6 +/- 2.0 and, 7.1 +/- 2.5 after surgery. The mean recovery rate was 36.8% +/- 47.4%. (2) The recovery rate was 50% or higher in 72 patients (46.8%). Factors significantly related to this were location of the maximum ossification (T1-T4) (odds ratio, 2.43-4.17) and the use of instrumentation (odds ratio, 3.37). (3) The frequent complications were deterioration of myelopathy immediately after surgery in 18 (11.7%) and dural injury in 34 (22.1%) patients. Conclusion. The factors significantly associated with favorable surgical results were maximum ossification located at the upper thoracic spine and use of instrumentation. T-OPLL at the nonkyphotic upper thoracic spine can be treated by laminoplasty that is relatively a safe surgical procedure for neural elements. The use of instrumentation allows correction of kyphosis or prevention of progression of kyphosis, thereby, enhancing and maintaining decompression effect, and its use should be considered with posterior decompression.

    We developed a honeycomb-shaped lyophilized Type I atelocollagen (Honeycomb Collagen: HC) with different pore sizes, and the effectiveness of the honeycomb shape on nerve regeneration was examined. We analyzed neurite outgrowth of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) explants on HC, both in vitro and, with direct implantation of HC into the defects of adult rat spinal cords, in vivo. The neu-rites of DRGs on HC extended linearly through the pores. HC with a 400 μm-pore size enhanced neurite extension, and YIGSR laminin peptide coating to the HC extended more neurites than fibronectin coating. The HC scaffolds coated with YIGSR were implanted into 2 mm-defects of spinal cords at the level of T8-9. Four weeks after implantation, the implants had degraded and been replaced with self-tissues, repairing the injured site. Neurofilament-positive fibers were observed in the implantation area and passed the borders between the HC and spinal cord stumps. Functionally, a motor-evoked potential was observed in the quadriceps femoris muscle 10 weeks after implantation. The electrophysiological examination showed reconstruction of axon tracts over the implant. This result indicates that our developed honeycomb shape is advantageous for host spinal cord compared to the random pored sponge shape, and that it promotes axonal regeneration after spinal cord injury.

    The efficient seeding of cells into porous scaffolds is important in bone tissue engineering techniques. To enhance efficiency, we modified the previously reported cell seeding techniques using low-pressure conditions. In this study, the effects of low pressure on bone marrow-derived stromal cells (BMSCs) of rats and the usefulness of the modified technique were assessed. There was no significant difference found in the proliferative and osteogenic capabilities among various low-pressure (50-760 mmHg, 1-10 min) conditions. To analyze the efficacies of the cell seeding techniques, BMSCs suspended in the plasma of rats were seeded into porous beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) blocks by the following three procedures: 1) spontaneous penetration of cell suspension under atmospheric pressure (SP); 2) spontaneous penetration and subsequent low pressure treatment (SPSL), the conventional technique; and 3) spontaneous penetration under low pressure conditions (SPUL), the modified technique. Subsequently, these BMSCs/beta-TCP composites were used for the analysis of cell seeding efficiency or in vivo bone formation capability. Both the number of BMSCs seeded into beta-TCP blocks and the amount of bone formation of the SPUL group were significantly higher than those of the other groups. The SPUL method with a simple technique permits high cell seeding efficiency and is useful for bone tissue engineering using BMSCs and porous scaffolds.

    Research to date has identified several genes that are implicated in the etiology of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine (OPLL); however, their pathogenetic relevance remains obscure. The aim of this study is to identify susceptibility genes for OPLL through a large-scale case-control association study and to re-examine previously reported associations. A total of 109 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 35 candidate genes were genotyped for 711 sporadic OPLL patients and 896 controls. The differences in allelic and genotypic distribution between patients and controls were assessed using the chi(2) test with Bonferroni's correction. We also analyzed the association by separating patients into subgroups according to sex, age and the number of ossified vertebrae. The nominal P values fell below 0.05 for five SNPs in three genes. An intronic SNP in the TGF3 gene (P=0.00040) showed the most significant association. Previously reported associations of COL11A2, NPPS and TGFB1 with OPLL could not be reproduced. Further, no significant associations were detected in stratified analyses based on sex, age or the number of ossified vertebrae. TGFB3 warrants further investigation because it is located within a genomic region that has been positively linked with OPLL.

    We investigated cellular and matrix responses of articular cartilage to heat shock. Rat articular cartilage was pretreated at 37°C for 24 h before being exposed to 48°C for 10 min and subsequently incubated at 37°C for 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, and 14 days. Following heat shock, a terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase nick end labeling assay showed that articular chondrocyte apoptosis appeared at day 1, peaked at day 7, and declined by day 14. Analysis by transmission electron microscopy confirmed that the chondrocytes had characteristic morphological features of apoptosis immunohistochemical staining revealed that caspase-3 activity in chondrocytes increased, 3-B-3-positive articular chondrocytes decreased in number, and the expression of 3-B-3 native epitope in articular chondrocytes was reduced. Safranin-O staining revealed that depletion of proteoglycans in the matrix was not found in any group. Morphological and biochemical evidence from this study suggested that heat shock at 48°C induced articular chondrocyte apoptosis and suppressed proteoglycan synthesis of articular cartilage in vitro. This study thus provides evidence of the onset of osteoarthritis induced by heat shock and a basis for choosing a temperature at which malignant bone tumor cells can be killed with minimal damage to articular cartilage.

    Study Design. The functional recovery of rats that underwent spinal cord transection in infancy was evaluated by multimodal examination (functional rests, electrophysiologic evaluation, tract-tracing) to determine the basis for the recovery. Objectives. To determine whether the hind limb function in rats that underwent spinal cord transection in infancy is regained completely, which descending tracts regenerate after the transection, and whether the functional recovery is correlated with axonal reconnection. Summary of Background Data. It is widely accepted that a newborn rat recovers its hind limb function after spinal cord transection even without any specific treatments. This functional recovery might be attributed to possible regeneration of some descending pathways, although there is a counterargument that well-trained spinal cord reflexes may bring about functional compensation. Methods. The thoracic spinal cord of infant rats was completely transected at Thin when they were 2 weeks of age. Multimodal functional tests and electrophysiologic studies were performed 5 weeks later. Some recovered rats (i.e., those able to walk after the transection) underwent spinal cord retransection, with subsequent reevaluation of locomotion and muscle-evoked potentials. At 6 weeks after the initial transection, tract-tracing studies were performed in some animals. Results. A motor performance score detected the functional differences between the control and the recovered rats. Muscle-evoked potentials of hind limbs after electrical stimulation to the brain were recorded in some of the recovered rats, but never in the unrecovered rats. Moreover, the muscle-evoked potentials of the recovered rats disappeared after spinal cord retransection that resulted in loss of voluntary movement. Morphologic studies in two rats provided evidence that reconnection of rubrospinal, vestibulospinal, and reticulospinal tracts had occurred, whereas corticospinal regeneration was not detected. Conclusions. It can be concluded that the hind limb function of rats that underwent spinal cord transection in infancy was partially regained; that axonal regeneration of the rubrospinal, vestibulospinal, or reticulospinal tracts was demonstrated, whereas the reconnection of the corticospinal tract was not observed; and that the axonal regeneration of these tracts is involved in the functional recovery.

    It has been suggested that matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3, stromelysin-1) has an important role in the degeneration of intervertebral discs (IVDs), A human MMP-3 promoter 5A/6A polymorphism was reported to be involved in the regulation of MMP-3 gene expression. We suggest that IVD degeneration is associated with 5A/6A polymorphism. We studied 54 young and 49 elderly Japanese subjects. Degeneration of the lumbar discs was graded using MRI in the younger group and by radiography in the elderly. 5A/6A polymorphism was determined by polymerase-chain reaction-based assays. We found that the 5A5A and 5A6A genotype in the elderly was associated with a significantly larger number of degenerative IVDs than the 6A6A (p < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the young. In the elderly, the IVD degenerative scores were also distributed more highly in the 5A5A and 5A6A genotypes (p = 0.0029). Our findings indicate that the 5A allele is a possible risk factor for the acceleration of degenerative changes in the lumbar disc in the elderly.

    Background: The popularity of snowboarding has been growing rapidly throughout the world. To date, however, the risk of head injury associated with this relatively new winter sport, especially in comparison with alpine skiing, has not been well analyzed, This study was conducted to assess the risk of head injury in snowboarding and to elucidate its features in comparison with skiing head injury. Methods: We prospectively analyzed 301 cases of head injuries related to snowboarding or skiing experienced from December of 1995 to May of 1997 at our institution, which is located close to the most popular skiing areas in Japan. Of those injuries, 143 cases were snowboard related and 158 cases were ski related. In addition to appropriate medical evaluation and medical care, detailed examination was performed on every patient to determine various factors, including ses, age, skill level, cause and mechanism of the accident, and the side of impact to the head. The data are statistically analyzed to elucidate unique features of snowboard head injury. Results: During the study period, 2.2 million snowboarders and 4.2 million skiers visited the five skiing facilities that are covered hg our hospital. Thus, the incidence of head injury was 6.5 per 100,000, visits for snowboarders and 3.8 per 100,000 visits for skiers. Beginning snowboarders more frequently sustained head injuries compared with beginning skiers (60 of 142 vs. 48 of 154, p = 0.022), Likewise, frequent causes of snowboarding head injuries were fall during jumping (43 of 139 vs. 2 of 147, p < 0.0001), falling backward (67 of 127 vs. 49 of 147, p = 0.001)! and occipital impact (67 of 126 vs, 49 Of 147).,More importantly, there were nine major head injury cases (6.3%) in snowboard head injuries in contrast to only two such cases found in skiing head injuries (1.3%). Of II major head injury cases, 10 were caused by occipital impact. Conclusion: These results indicate that snowboarders sl particularly beginners, are at higher risk for head injury, frequently involving occipital impact, and could lead to more major head injuries. We propose that measures should be taken to protect the head, especially the occiput, in snowboarding.

    It is said that by the end of the 1995-1996 skiing season, the number of snowboarders will have grown to almost 1 million in Japan. However, it is not generally recognized that snowboarders have a higher risk of serious head injuries than conventional skiers. So far, there have been no detailed epidemiological studies examining the spectrum of head injuries. Our aim in this study is to analyze the pattern and cause of head injuries associated with this relatively new sport. We analyzed 140 cases of trauma associated with snowboarding in the first half of the 1995-1996 skiing season treated at Suwa Central Hospital. Among them there were 26 cases of head and neck injury 81% of the injured patients were male and the mean age was 22 (±2.6 SD) years. The majority (61%) were beginners and 45% of the cases were occipital trauma, and 15% were neck trauma. The most common symptoms were concussion (54%) and peritraumatic anmesia (31%). However 6 of the 26 patients had intracranial organic lesions visualized by CT scans. These comprised 2 cases of small parenchymal contusion, 2 cases of traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, 1 case of acute epidural hematoma, 1 case of intracerebral hemorrhage according to avulsion of an arterial perforator. In comparison with injuries to the extremities due to forward falling and hitting the front of extremities, patients with head and neck injury had a tendency to fall backwards and strike the occipital and rear neck regions. As for injuries during jumping, 4 out of 6 beginners who had sustained injuries in this way had intracranial organic lesions visualized by CT scans. Appropriate snowboarding lessons given by certified instructors and the rise of protective devices such as occipital protective helmets are very important for preventing head injuries during snowboarding.

    2021年度には、2020年度に開発ができなかった機能について、引き続き、システム開発を行い、本研究のシステムの運用に必要な基本的な機能をすべて完成させることができた。このために、具体的に下記を実施した。
    (1)運用による機能・要望の取りまとめ: 4月より研究分担者等によるテスト運用を行い、8月より本番運用を開始して、機能・要望事項の収集と取りまとめをおこなった。 (2)機能・要望のとりまとめ結果に基づき、システム概要設計及びシステム開発を担当する研究分担者の協議により、システム概要設計を行った。 (3)システム詳細設計とプログラミング: システム詳細設計は、システム開発と並行して行った。つまり最も基本的なシステムの大枠をプログラムのプロトタイプモデルとして開発し、これに順次必要な機能を、スパイラルモデルを活用して追加していった。従来一般的であった硬直的なウォーターフォール型での開発を避け、プロトタイプモデル、スパイラルモデルの併用による柔軟な開発を図った。システム開発手法としては、UMINで長年システム開発を行う中で、効率・柔軟性が高いと認められてきた手法を用いた。その特徴は、開発モデルとしてプロトタイプモデルとスパイラルモデルの両方を組み合わせ、開発方法論として、データ中心アプローチを用いることにある。またシステム開発に当たっては、既存のEPOC及びEPOC2のプログラムを可能な範囲で再利用して、必要な労力・コストの削減を図った。

    This study developed computer simulation materials in e-learning (English/Japanese) to learn basic knowledge about Japanese caregiving and experience the technique and situation for international students in their home country before coming to Japan. In order to evaluate the validity of the developed simulation materials, they were provided to medical, nursing, dental, dental hygiene, and graduate students in several courses of the e-learning system (WebClass). As a result, they were generally highly evaluated. Furthermore, it was indicated that the learning method using these materials was effective and useful when the English versions of teaching materials were provided to the Japanese and international learners.

    The purpose of this study was to develop an educational system to learn new advanced medical techniques for medical students and to examine the usefulness of clinical anatomy practice consisting of simulated surgery using donated cadavers. The contents of the research were a questionnaire survey of medical students and academics, and a pilot study of simulated endoscopic surgery. The simulated surgery consisted of surgical lectures, demonstrations by surgeons, and hands-on or observational practice by students. These studies showed that both conventional systematic anatomy and newly developed clinical anatomy were useful. It is desirable to introduce clinical anatomy as part of the clinical training curriculum other than conventional anatomy.

    The aim of this study was to develop a teaching system for highly-skilled surgical procedures. We developed a simulator for anterior cervical spinal procedures, i.e. the floating method of the ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). This simulator with anatomical characteristics is modeling with salt using a 3-D printer. Also, we created an evaluation system of safety management during operation and mastery level of the anterior cervical procedures. Our simulator and evaluation system would provide high quality and safety teaching methods for highly-skilled surgical procedures.

    We exhaustively analyzed risk factors when medical students perform phlebotomy or urethral catheterization which are basic clinical procedures. It was suggested that safety management abilities of a teacher could be assessed by exhaustiveness of risk factors which he/she recalls beforehand. We developed a faculty training workshop for safety management on the clinical training, and conducted it on a trial basis. We assigned a task of planning of urethral catheterization training, and requested using process hazard analysis. The participants could list exhaustively the risk factors when medical students urethral catheterization. This workshop seems to be beneficial for faculty development for safety management on the clinical training,

    We developed assisting software for Hazard and Operability Study of medicine, which is one of risk analysis methods using in an industrial field. But it was not feasible because of time consuming process. On the other hand, importance of the concept of HAZOP was verified by exercise for medical students, in which a newly-developed bone-drilling simulator was utilized. To evaluate effectiveness of HAZOP exercise of medical students, we compared incident reports written by residents between those who have received HAZOP exercise and those who have not. The results showed no difference between two groups. Patient safety exercise and verification of its educational effectiveness should be continued.

    1. A questionnaire was administered to 240 persons in order to collect and analyze basic data regarding medical communication education for clinical situations. Subsequently, we analyzed the data consisting of multiple-choice and open-ended questions related to doctor-patient communication. 2. Another survey was conducted of foreign medical students who would be using the e-learning materials in order to understand their needs for such study aids, and we were able to get a grasp of how well that they would be able to work independently in conjunction with a computer using the e-learning materials developed in this project. 3. An investigation and content analysis was carried out on existing communication education materials as part of the basic study to create new ones. We invited Prof. Dennis Novak, a specialist in medical communication from Drexel University's medical school (in the U.S.A.), and held a public lecture. 4. Scripts for interactions in clinical situations were created for independent study materials, and these were used to develop video materials using a digital camera. The titles and scenarios were "Patient Confirmation"-- a dentist/doctor confirms a patient's identity, "An Intravenous Drip Mistake"--an interaction between an inexperienced doctor and a patient during the application of an intravenous drip, "A Patient with Cold Hands and Feet"--dealing with a foreign patient with cold hands and feet who is nervous due to previous examinations, "An Elderly Patient with Back Pain in the Emergency Room"--A young doctor's interaction using young people's language with an elderly patient and an accompanying family member in an emergency room. 5. The e-learning materials were subsequently used by foreign and Japanese medical students who later evaluated the contents by computer. The materials generally were highly evaluated by the students. 6. The results and analysis of the administration of these materials were presented at the 3rd International Wireless Ready Symposium and Leiden University's (The Netherlands) Japanese Linguistics Day, and other conferences. The need for sympathetic communication between doctors and patients is growing. Educational materials that deal with a variety of problematic communication situations such as these are essential, and the use of these independent study materials by foreign medical students as well as Japanese students is very meaningful for the field of medical communication as a whole. 7. All the results of the research described in the above including Dr. Novack's lecture and e-learning materials with videos were published on a website.

    Human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) are an attractive source for bone tissue engineering applications because of their differentiation capability and their proliferation capability. However, despite the potential of BMSCs, they lose their differentiation potential after multiple doubling processes under standard culture conditions 1. We hypothesized that dexamethasone could augment the responsiveness of BMSCs to differentiation reagents, and continuous dexamethasone treatment would establish BMSCs with higher differentiation potentials. The results of our studies indicated that the dexamethasone-treated cells showed higher osteogenic capability and bone formation capability than the control group. 2. To develop efficient bone regeneration using cells and porous scaffolds, it is essential to introduce an adequate number of cells into porous scaffolds. To improve cell seeding efficiency, we modified the previously reported cell seeding techniques using low-pressure conditions and devised a simple device for this method. The procedures are as follows. In the first step, porous β-TCP blocks are placed into a glass chamber, and in the second step, the air in the chamber is removed by a syringe to create a vacuum. In the third step, the cell suspension is slowly infused into the chamber, maintaining the low-pressure condition, and the blocks are soaked in the suspension. In the final step, the valve is released so that the pressure in the chamber normalizes. Compared to spontaneous penetration (control), cell seeding efficiencies by this method were three fold higher, and the implants prepared by the method showed bone formation more than three folds of the control. 3. We also developed and tested a cell seeding system into porous implants using plasma, expecting that the fibrin network formed from fibrinogen would hold introduced cells within minutes and promote bone formation. BMSCs were suspended in plasma and introduced into porous scaffolds, and fibrin gel was formed within minutes. Then the implants were transplanted. The implants prepared using plasma showed significantly more bone formation than that by the implants using BMSCs suspended in culture medium.

    今年度は、前回報告した移植細胞となる胎児海馬由来神経幹細胞(神経幹細胞)と骨髄由来幹細胞(骨髄細胞)のRT-PCR法による神経栄養因子発現の比較から1)NGF・CNTF・GDNF遺伝子およびそれぞれのレセプター遺伝子ベクターを培養神経幹細胞に導入しその分化傾向を確認した。in vivo実験では2)脊髄損傷モデルに移植した細胞の生存期間を改善するような遺伝子導入を行った。 1)NGF・CNTF・GDNFおよびそれぞれの受容体遺伝子を培養神経幹細胞にさまざまな組み合わせで導入実験を行った。その結果、GDNFとそのレセプターGFRα1の組み合わせでもっと高い神経細胞へ分化が認められた。本結果から骨髄細胞が脊髄損傷部に移植された場合、損傷後の機能回復を促進する一因としてGDNFの関与が示唆される。今後は、脊髄損傷後にGDNFを持続的に発現させるモデルを作製し、損傷急性期の炎症の抑制と組み合わせて研究を行っていく予定である。 2)前回、培養神経幹細胞を脊髄損傷1週後に移植した結果、ホスト脊髄内で細胞の生着は確認されたもの正常脊髄に移植したものの約半数しか生着できなかったことを報告した。今回、細胞骨格とアポトーシスに関与するRhoファミリー遺伝子に注目し、神経幹細胞に導入し移植実験を行った。その結果、RacおよびRho遺伝子のdominant negative typeを感染させた場合、対照群と比較して2.5倍の生着細胞が観察された。これら遺伝子は、移植後の細胞死を抑制するための有効な手段と考えられた。 1)2)では損傷脊髄に移植する神経幹細胞、骨髄幹細胞についてその神経栄養因子的な働きと細胞死の抑制方法について明らかにした。骨髄幹細胞の脊髄損傷に対する働きはいまだ不明であり、移植細胞の多くが細胞死を受け十分に生着せず、一過性の働きしか得られないという報告もあることから本研究で明らかにしたことは意義が大きい。いずれの実験結果も論文への投稿準備中である。研究計画にあるような抗炎症作用とダリア瘢痕の抑制環境の作製には時間が必要であるが、本研究で明らかにした手法を組み合わせることで脊髄損傷のメカニズムおよび治療の解明に役立つと思われる。
