In proton radiotherapy, the irradiation dose can be concentrated on a tumor. To use this radiotherapy efficiently in clinical field, it is necessary to evaluate proton‐irradiated area and condition. The confirmed by coincidence detection of pair annihilation gamma rays from decayed nuclei generated target nuclear fragment reaction irradiated target. study, we performed experiments polyethylene containing nuclei, which major component human body, gelatinous water at different energy levels...
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a four-repeat tauopathy with tau-positive, argyrophilic tuft-shaped astrocytes (TAs). We performed pathological and clinical investigation in 40 consecutive autopsied Japanese patients diagnoses of PSP or PSP-like disease. Unequivocal TAs were present 22 cases, all which confirmed to be PSP. Such hardly detected the other 18 instead exhibited astrocytes, appearing as comparatively small clusters central nuclei irregularly shaped, coarse structures...
Objective: To identify a neurochemical basis for the hypothesis that an aberrant cortico‐subcortical circuit underlies obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). The white matter was also investigated because of recent research which suggests altered connectivity axons. Method: Using 3‐Tesla magnetic resonance spectroscopy, relative concentrations N ‐acetylaspartate (NAA) and choline‐containing compounds (Cho) to creatine/phosphocreatine (Cr) were measured in anterior cingulate, basal ganglia,...
According to some newspapers, concerns are growing over the health of local government employees in Great East Japan Earthquake disaster areas. Concerns were consistently present after Hanshin-Awaji and Niigata-Chuetsu earthquakes but not studied analytically.Municipal responding disasters an earthquake floods answered a questionnaire about degrees workload, fatigue, psychological distress, resilience personality traits.Two-thirds suffered fatigue which significantly correlated with workload...
During the recent half decade, Japan's suicide rate at approximately 25 deaths per 100 000 people has been one of highest rates in world. From perspective prevention by restricting access to suicidal means, aim present study was examine what kind method increased during prolonged economic slump. 21 years (1981-2001), for all victims (5161 cases) gender, age, and methods were investigated. The yearly full unemployment also used as a representative socioeconomic factor same periods Japan using...

We surveyed 3078 sufferers in Tsunan (Niigata), an intermediate and mountainous area of Japan, after the 2011 Northern Nagano Prefecture Earthquake. More subjects reported fear earthquake or related anxiety symptoms insomnia than control group. Female sex older age were found to be risk factors for poor psychological outcome. Those with should carefully followed up.
Although recent studies have found dysfunctional parental rearing behaviour is associated with certain aspects of psychopathology panic disorder (PD), the results are not in complete agreement. By using a translated Japanese version EMBU (Egna Minnen Beträffande Uppfostran), we investigated behavior perceived by 103 normal subjects, 71 PD patients agoraphobia, and 32 without agoraphobia. The scored both parents as more rejecting overprotective than did controls. However, subgroup analysis...
Early intervention in schizophrenia is important for patient prognosis and quality of life. At the time first episode, life influenced by identification symptoms medical help-seeking behavior. In this prospective cohort study, we investigated among 2690 parents junior senior high school students before after viewed a newly developed web-based education program aimed at improving knowledge schizophrenia. Our to improve understanding schizophrenia, including promotion help-seeking. Many...
Stigma toward schizophrenia is an important area of research as it frequently a barrier to early intervention. This study attempted identify factors underlying stigma in Japan. Because even adolescents can develop schizophrenia, 357 Japanese parents high school students were enrolled. All lived outside the areas affected by Tohoku earthquake that occurred on March 11, 2011 (ie, parts Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima prefectures). Factor analysis using Link Devaluation–Discrimination Measure...
