PediatricsThe Department of Pediatrics at the University of Yamanashi provides local, regional and international leadership in promoting childhood wellness and health, as well as elucidating some of the genetic and molecular mechanisms of disease pathogenesis, particularly malignant disorders. It includes groups of hematology/oncology, endocrinology, neurology, nephrology, and cardiology.Profile of the Faculty MembersKanji SUGITA; professorPediatric hematology/oncology Biological analysis of leukemia cells Masao AIHARA; associate professor Pediatric neurology, cognitive neurophysiology Kosuke HIGASHIDA; assistant professor Pediatric nephrology Diagnosis and treatment of pediatric kidney disease, radiological diagnosis of urinary tract anomaly. Takeshi INUKAI; assistant professor Pediatric hematology/oncology Analysis of chimeric gene products in leukemias, analysis of regulatory mechanisms of apoptosis in hematopoietic cells Kumiko GOI Pediatric hematology/oncology Analysis of mechanisms of cell cycle control in leukemic cells Minako HOSHIAI Pediatric cardiology Hideaki KANEMURA Pediatric neurology, cognitive neurophysiology Kisho KOBAYASHI Pediatric endocrinology Analysis of glucose metabolism in type 1 diabetes Toshie@KADONO Pediatric cardiology General Description of Research Activities (Themes)Hematology/Oncology GroupThis group conducts clinical research focusing on chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for pediatric hematological and oncological diseases. Basic research on molecules involved in the growth and apoptosis of leukemic cells is also conducted. Neurology Group The group of Pediatric neurology elucidates the mechanisms of higher cortical functions and dysfunctions in normal children, adolescences, and developmental disorders, particularly ADHD, and LD. Pediatric Nephrology Group Goal of the treatment for our patients or our clinical research are primarily the complete recovery and secondly the improvement of long term prognosis of nephritis, Cakut, and other nephrological diseases. Cardiology Group The group conducts research on intra-myocardial cell calcium dynamics using the cardiac arrest model in rats. It is also developing a new catheter intervention device. Clinical research on the comprehensive treatment for pediatric cardiomyopathy is carried out. Endocrinology Group Pediatric endocrinology, diabetes and metabolic diseases: All these fields are covered by Board-certified sub-specialists, including clinical and basic research on growth and sexual development, thyroid and adreal disorders, type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome according to patients' life cycles, especially focusing on children and adolescents. |
