フクゴウ ドウシ ～キル ニオケル ブンポウカ ノ カテイ ニツイテ ノ イチ シアン

The purpose of this study is to investigate the Japanese compound verb ‘-kiru’ from its frequency of appearance and its syntactic features. First, I extract ‘-kiru’ from BCCWJ(Balanced Corpus of Contemporary Written Japanese). Next I classify the meanings of ‘-kiru’ into 1.CUT, 2.END, 3. COMPLETION, 4.LIMIT, 3/4.COMPLETION / LIMIT(Middle of 3 and 4), and 5.SINGLE WORD. As the verb separates from its original meaning, the variation of a preceding clause verb increases, and the degree of co-occurrence with the grammar form also goes up. From this fact, it is suggested that the grammaticalization process of ’-kiru’ develops through its semantic derivation

Benign giant mediastinal schwannoma presenting as cardiac tamponade in a woman: a case report

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Introduction</p> <p>Mediastinal schwannomas are typically benign and asymptomatic, and generally present no immediate risks. We encountered a rare case of a giant benign posterior mediastinal schwannoma, complicated by life-threatening cardiac tamponade.</p> <p>Case presentation</p> <p>We report the case of a 72-year-old Japanese woman, who presented with cardiogenic shock. Computed tomography of the chest revealed a posterior mediastinal mass 150 cm in diameter, with pericardial effusion. The cardiac tamponade was treated with prompt pericardial fluid drainage. A biopsy was taken from the mass, and after histological examination, it was diagnosed as a benign schwannoma, a well-encapsulated non-infiltrating tumor, originating from the intrathoracic vagus nerve. It was successfully excised, restoring normal cardiac function.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>Our case suggests that giant mediastinal schwannomas, although generally benign and asymptomatic, should be excised upon discovery to prevent the development of life-threatening cardiopulmonary complications.</p

Neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of the rat hippocampus enhanced by tickling stimulation with positive emotion

Hippocampal neurogenesis is influenced by many factors. In this study, we examined the effect of tactile stimulation (tickling), which induced positive emotion, on neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus. Four week-old rats were tickled for 5 min/day on 5 consecutive days and received 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU) administration for 4 days from the second tickling day. Then they were allowed to survive for 18 h or 3 weeks after the end of BrdU treatment. Neurogenesis in the DG was compared between the tickled and untickled rats by using immunohistochemistry with anti-BrdU antibody. The result showed that the number of BrdU- and NeuN (neural cell marker)-double positive neurons on 18 h as well as 3 weeks of the survival periods was significantly increased in the tickled group as compared with the untickled group. The expression of mRNA of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the hippocampus of the tickled rats was not altered when compared with the control rats. In conclusion, tickling stimulation which induces positive emotion may affect the generation and survival of new neurons of the DG through the BDNF-independent pathway

Chiba University\u27s approach to international-standard education : A report of study tour to International Organizations in Geneva

[要旨] 千葉大学予防医学センターでは，グローバルな視点や課題解決能力を持った学生を育成するための取組みのひとつとして，2013年度よりWHO本部等と連携した「国際機関視察研修」を実施している。千葉大学は2016年4月より三大学（千葉大学・金沢大学・長崎大学）共同大学院として先進予防医学共同専攻を開講したが，2016年9月に実施した第4回目となる同研修には，三大学の一つである金沢大学からも教員・学生が参加し，WHOをはじめとする国際機関の視察や職員からの講義を受ける等，社会医学に関する国際機関の取組み等について幅広く理解を深めた。[Summary] In April 2016, Center for Preventive Medical Sciences（CPMS）, Chiba University launched the Division of Advanced Preventive Medical Sciences in cooperation with Kanazawa University and Nagasaki University in order to nurture research in and further clinical practice of“personalized preventive medicine”with the aim of developing understanding of the impact of biological characteristics and environmental factors to individuals and so that disease can be prevented even before a prodrome appears. As one sphere of its activities, Chiba University and Kanazawa University jointly provided the special training program in cooperation with international organizations such as the WHO, IOM and IFRC, and the Permanent Mission of Japan to the International Organizations in Geneva for three days in September 2016. A total of 40 clinicians, researchers, students and administrative staff from both universities participated in the program and studied through lectures and discussion a range of current global issues relating to public health
