     学校における喫煙・飲酒・薬物乱用防止教育の充実には,問題行動が顕在化する中学校期だけでなく小学校期 における指導の推進が重要であり,系統的な指導計画を立て,指導者や時間の確保,教材作成などに組織的に取 組み,継続可能なプログラム開発を行う必要がある。そこで,地区内12 校の養護教諭が協働して,発達段階に応 じた系統的・組織的かつ継続可能な地区共通の指導計画を開発し,各校の教育課程・年間計画に位置付けた実践 研究を行った。その結果,指導計画の実施状況は,小学校11 校中,学級活動10 校,ミニ保健指導10 校,長期 休業前指導6 校,広報活動9 校となり,特別支援学校1 校では広報活動のみを行うことができた。小学校におけ る喫煙・飲酒・薬物乱用防止教育の推進には,学校保健活動の中核的役割を担う養護教諭が専門性を活かし協働 して,系統的な指導計画を各校の教育課程に位置付け組織的で継続可能なプログラムとする取組が有効であった

    Abstract Background We report a case of a patient with HER2-positive gastric cancer with marked tongue swelling during the second cycle of S-1, oxaliplatin, and trastuzumab. Case presentation The patient was a 74-year-old male, who was taking an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) for pre-existing hypertension, with no history of allergies, diagnosed with HER2-positive gastric cancer, treated with tegafur, gimeracil, and oteracil potassium (S-1) and oxaliplatin for the first cycle, and trastuzumab was added from the second cycle. Three weeks after initiation, during an outpatient visit, grade 2 oral mucositis and significant enlargement of the patient's tongue were observed. Due to the risk of airway obstruction, the patient was referred to an otolaryngologist. After examination, hereditary angioedema was ruled out, and treatment was discontinued in view of ARB-induced angioedema. However, the tongue swelling did not improve markedly. Considering disease progression due to the discontinuation of chemotherapy, it was decided to change S-1 to capecitabine and continue treatment, and chemotherapy was resumed. Conclusions Angioedema has been reported to be hereditary and drug-related, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and ARBs have also been reported to lead to drug-related adverse events. Since the patient had oral mucositis at the time of onset and was taking an ARB, it is thought that oxaliplatin and S-1(SOX), and trastuzumab during ARB therapy induced oral mucositis, leading to the development of angioedema

    Influence of Glycosylation on the Efficacy of an Env-Based Vaccine against Simian Immunodeficiency Virus SIVmac239 in a Macaque AIDS Model

    The envelope glycoprotein (Env) of human immunodeficiency viruses (HIVs) and simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) is heavily glycosylated, and this feature has been speculated to be a reason for the insufficient immune control of these viruses by their hosts. In a macaque AIDS model, we demonstrated that quintuple deglycosylation in Env altered a pathogenic virus, SIVmac239, into a novel attenuated mutant virus (Δ5G). In Δ5G-infected animals, strong protective immunity against SIVmac239 was elicited. These HIV and SIV studies suggested that an understanding of the role of glycosylation is critical in defining not only the virological properties but also the immunogenicity of Env, suggesting that glycosylation in Env could be modified for the development of effective vaccines. To examine the effect of deglycosylation, we constructed prime-boost vaccines consisting of Env from SIVmac239 and Δ5G and compared their immunogenicities and vaccine efficacies by challenge infection with SIVmac239. Vaccination-induced immune responses differed between the two vaccine groups. Both Env-specific cellular and humoral responses were higher in wild-type (wt)-Env-immunized animals than in Δ5G Env-immunized animals. Following the challenge, viral loads in SIVmac239 Env (wt-Env)-immunized animals were significantly lower than in vector controls, with controlled viral replication in the chronic phase. Unexpectedly, viral loads in Δ5G Env-immunized animals were indistinguishable from those in vector controls. This study demonstrated that the prime-boost Env vaccine was effective against homologous SIVmac239 challenge. Changes in glycosylation affected both cell-mediated and humoral immune responses and vaccine efficacy
