「アドミッションセンター」の多機能化―国立大学における位置づけと高大接続改革―

While working as an Admission Coordinator at Gunma University from June 2019, we became aware of the issue of the role and position of the Admission Center at various national universities. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the current role and position of the Admission Center, which was established at a national university in the 2000s. Under these circumstances, it was found that the government's recent High School/University Articulation Reforms have affected the operations of the Admission Center, and its role has been expanding

国立大学における「総合型選抜」 ―AO（Admissions Office）入試導入から21 年、現状と課題―

In this paper, we focused on the “Comprehensive selection” that started with the “2021 entrance examination.” Then, the history of the beginning of “Comprehensive selection” in Japan is organized, and the current state of “Comprehensive selection” at national universities is disclosed on the websites of each national university and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. Based on the entrance examination information that has been conducted, we conducted an independent survey and clarified it

国立大学における「アドミッション・オフィサー」―教員主体の人員構成とその課題―

In this paper, we look back at the history of the birth of the profession called the “Admission Officers” belonging to the admission center of the national university. How many “Admission Officers” exist in national universities in Japan, and their personnel composition is we will clarify what is going on. In addition, we would like to consider the current status, issues, and future of "Admission Officers" in which faculty members are mainly in Japan

大学発ベンチャー企業における広報戦略の一考察 ―群馬大学発「株式会社グッドアイ」のメディア・リレーションズ―

On April 6, 2020, Gunma University- launched venture company “GUDi” developed and announced a copper fiber sheet that has an infection-preventing effect against the COVID-19, and until March 31, 2021. It has been featured in the media 54 times in a year. In this paper, what was the reason why one University-launched venture company, which was only three years old, was featured in so many media? Looking back on the three press releases and the attributes of the media, we considered the ideal public relations strategy centered on the publicity of university-launched venture companies

Cancer of the Pancreas in 125 Patients

In this report, we did a retrospective study of 125 patients with cancer of the pancreas. Seventeen (36.2%) of the 47 patients with cancer of the pancreatic head underwent resection; 11.2% died within 30 days of surgery, 33.3 survived the first year, and 13.3 survived the first three years. The longest survival was for five years. Nine (23%) of the 39 patients with cancer of the pancreatic body and tail underwent resection; 11.1% died within 30 days, 37.5% survived the first year, and none survived more than three years. The longest survival was for 35 months. Important factors affecting the prognosis were invasion by the cancer of veins or lymph vessels in the surrounding tissues, and metastasis to regional lymph nodes. Lymphatic drainage of small cancers of the pancreatic head were established early. Invasion to the retroperitoneal tissue in cancer of the pancreatic body and tail was more common than in cancer of the pancreatic head. For the patient of early cancer of the pancreas, we strongly recommend total pancreatectomy over WHIPPLE\u27s pancreatoduodenectomy, based on results of our analysis of the outcome in our patients following these two operations. Key words: Cancer of the pancreas, Total pancreatectomy, WHIPPLE\u27s pancreatoduodenectom

Rearrangement of the breakpoint cluster region in Philadelphia chromosome positive acute leukemia.

The rearrangement of breakpoint cluster region (ber) was examined in leukemic cells obtained from 3 patients initially diagnosed as having Ph+ acute leukemia, 2 with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and one with acute mixed leukemia. DNA was digested with Bgl II and BamH I. The ber rearrangement was present in the case of acute mixed leukemia (Case 1), but was absent in the 2 cases of ALL (Cases 2 and 3). These results suggest that Case 1 represented a type of blast crisis of chronic myelocytic leukemia which was unusual in the sense of the occurrence of a myeloid-lymphoid conversion and lack of an apparent chronic phase. Cases 2 and 3 appeared to be de novo Ph+ ALL.</p

Clinical Outcome of Patients with Pelvic and Retroperitoneal Bone and Soft Tissue Sarcoma : A Retrospective Multicenter Study in Japan

This study aimed to retrospectively analyze the clinical outcomes of patients with pelvic and retroperitoneal bone and soft tissue sarcoma (BSTS). Overall, 187 patients with BSTS in the pelvis and retroperitoneal region treated at 19 specialized sarcoma centers in Japan were included. The prognostic factors related to overall survival (OS), local control (LC), and progression-free survival (PFS) were evaluated. The 3-year OS and LC rates in the 187 patients were 71.7% and 79.1%, respectively. The 3-year PFS in 166 patients without any distant metastases at the time of primary tumor diagnosis was 48.6%. Osteosarcoma showed significantly worse OS and PFS than other sarcomas of the pelvis and retroperitoneum. In the univariate analyses, larger primary tumor size, soft tissue tumor, distant metastasis at the time of primary tumor diagnosis, P2 location, chemotherapy, and osteosarcoma were poor prognostic factors correlated with OS. Larger primary tumor size, higher age, soft tissue tumor, chemotherapy, and osteosarcoma were poor prognostic factors correlated with PFS in patients without any metastasis at the initial presentation. Larger primary tumor size was the only poor prognostic factor correlation with LC. This study has clarified the epidemiology and prognosis of patients with pelvic and retroperitoneal BSTS in Japan
