12Graduate School of MedicineDescription of Research Objectives　The Department of Radiation Oncology practices radiation therapy for various cancers comprehensively. It undertakes basic research on radiation induced apoptosis, modulation of radiation sensitivity by cell cycle regulatory proteins, hypoxia, cell-proliferation proteins, oncogenes, and cancer vasculature. In addition, clinical researches on heavy ion radiotherapy, combination of molecular targeted therapy with radiation, image based brachytherapy, and high precision radiotherapy (IMRT,SBRT, etc) are extensively conducted and promoted.【Keywords】radiation therapy, heavy ion therapy, radiation biology, radiation oncology, radiation pathology After the discovery of X-ray CT, there have been incredible advances in diagnostic imaging and it is now indispensible to modern medical care. In addition to CT, MRI, Ultrasound, PET, and SPECT, and the image-guided, minimally invasive techniques of interventional radiology and radioisotope therapy contribute to patient quality of life, and are also hoped to advance medical care. This eld researches and new techniques in combining morphological and functional imaging and developing “patient-friendly" treatment methods such as interventional radiology and radioisotope therapy.【Keywords】diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, CT, MRI, US, SPECT, PET, interventional radiology　Development in neurosciences and brain sciences is just revealing brain dysfunctions for etiology and pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders using neuroimaging and genetic studies. Department of Psychiatry and Neuroscience endeavors to clarify etiology and pathophysiology of “mental dysfunction” employing structural neuroimaging such as MRI, functional neuroimaging such as PET and NIRS, neurophysiology such as MEG, neuroendocrine stress responses such as DST, and animal model of psychiatric disorders.【Keywords】psychiatric disorder, neuroimaging, stress, mental illness, brain function　Development in neurosciences and brain sciences is just revealing consciousness, pain sensation, and brain dysfunctions objectively by using neuroimaging and/or genetic studies. Department of Anesthesiology endeavors to clarify origin of consciousness and pain perception, and to modify such neuronal functions pharmacologically. In addition to classical biochemical, physiological and anatomical strategies, modern genetic and fMRI methods are employed to investigate Anesthesiology topics. Pharmaceutical, pharmacodynamic and behavioral approaches are also adopted for both of clinical and basic pain researches.【Keywords】anesthesia, neuroimaging, consciousness, pain, brain function (Basic research)1. Experimental study for the brain prevention following cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)2. Experimental study to clarify the mechanism of ischemia-reperfusion injury following CPR and to reduce its injury3. Experimental study of dynamics and usefulness of vasopressors in cardiopulmonary arrest (Clinical research)1. Study of clinical factors to predict the prognosis in patients with cardiopulmonary arrest2. Study of clinical factors to predict the injury severity in patients with multiple traumas3. Study of clinical factors to predict the prognosis in elderly emergent patients4. Study of clinical factors to predict blood transfusion in patients with pelvic fracture【Keywords】cardiopulmonary arrest, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, severe trauma, reperfusion injury, coagulation　In our department, we are going to study about many problems in gerontology, especially methods of nutrition for old people. We are interested in the eects of the lack of trace elements on immune systems or protection to infectious disease.【Keywords】general medicine, gerontology, primary care, nutrition　Rehabilitation medicine is a transverse eld of diagnostic as well as therapeutic medicine for infant-to-elder patients with a great variety of diseases. The course of rehabilitation medicine consists of basic knowledge of rehabilitation medicine, which are kineology, central and peripheral nerve system, respiratory, cardiac systems and psychiatry. The students discuss the methods for evaluation of disabilities and the equipment for the measurements. The indications of scales, rating scores and other evaluation methods for functional and mental disorders will be studied. Biological and cytological methods are also applied to the analysis, and the cellular reaction by physical stimulation will be observed. Statistical analysis will be indicated for the measurements and evaluations. Investigation of the results and publishing some conclusions in the journal is the purpose of the courses.【Keywords】disability medicine, diagnostic medicine, therapeutic medicine, kinesiologyYoshito TsushimaDiagnostic Radiology and Nuclear MedicineMasato FukudaPsychiatry and NeuroscienceShigeru SaitoAnesthesiologyKiyohiro OshimaEmergency MedicineJunichi TamuraGeneral Practice MedicineTakashi NakanoRadiation Oncology (Due to retire in March 2019)Naoki WadaRehabilitation MedicineGUNMA UNIVERSITYGraduate School of MedicineAdmission Guide 2019
