The Ideal Way to Classes of Heian Era

The present study purposed that develop of new teaching materials to Heian Era, clear the ideal way to evaluation for unity of practice and evaluation.To accomplish this purpose, I practiced the classes. The result of this study that new teaching materials developed to Heian Era . But there is a task. And the result shows that there is task for evaluation

The Creation of School Education Bringing up a Student Carrying Tomorrow (3) : The Valuation of "Compulsory Subjects", "Optional Subjects", and "Integrated Subjects"

The purpose of this study is to show the valuation of "Compulsory Subjects", "Optional Subjects", and "Integrated Subjects", to show the relationship between each subjects and "three abilities", "the ability of recognizing othere senses of value", "the ability of self-expression and communication" and "the ability of decision-making" which defined by the project members. The main result of this study is that we should make up the standards which teachers, students and parents recognize as important abilities

Activin signaling as an emerging target for therapeutic interventions

After the initial discovery of activins as important regulators of reproduction, novel and diverse roles have been unraveled for them. Activins are expressed in various tissues and have a broad range of activities including the regulation of gonadal function, hormonal homeostasis, growth and differentiation of musculoskeletal tissues, regulation of growth and metastasis of cancer cells, proliferation and differentiation of embryonic stem cells, and even higher brain functions. Activins signal through a combination of type I and II transmembrane serine/threonine kinase receptors. Activin receptors are shared by multiple transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) ligands such as myostatin, growth and differentiation factor-11 and nodal. Thus, although the activity of each ligand is distinct, they are also redundant, both physiologically and pathologically in vivo. Activin receptors activated by ligands phosphorylate the receptor-regulated Smads for TGF-β, Smad2 and 3. The Smad proteins then undergo multimerization with the co-mediator Smad4, and translocate into the nucleus to regulate the transcription of target genes in cooperation with nuclear cofactors. Signaling through receptors and Smads is controlled by multiple mechanisms including phosphorylation and other posttranslational modifications such as sumoylation, which affect potein localization, stability and transcriptional activity. Non-Smad signaling also plays an important role in activin signaling. Extracellularly, follistatin and related proteins bind to activins and related TGF-β ligands, and control the signaling and availability of ligands

Nivolumab for malignant transformation of ovarian mature cystic teratoma

Mature cystic teratoma of the ovary (MCT) occasionally undergoes malignant transformation (MT) that is resistant to chemotherapy and has a poor prognosis. We experienced a case of clinically aggressive MCT-MT that invades surrounding organs and tissues. Although tumor was resected entirely, a rapid tumor recurrence occurred during postoperative chemotherapy (paclitaxel + ifosfamide + cisplatin). The results of comprehensive genomic profiling test performed early in the postoperative period showed a high tumor mutational burden of 23 mutations/Mb. Treatment with nivolumab monotherapy has promptly been initiated and has been very successful for more than one year
