I was admitted to Juntendo University School of Medicine in 1976, and after graduation I joined the Department of Neurology in 1982, where Professor Hirotaro Narabayashi was the founding chairman. I became particularly interested in movement disorders and neurophysiology. The second chairman, Professor Yoshikuni Mizuno, established an American-style neurology training system. From 1992 to 1994, I studied electrophysiology at the University of Calgary in Canada, and my family and I enjoyed life in Canada very much. In 2000, I moved to Juntendo Izu-Nagaoka Hospital, now renamed Juntendo Shizuoka Hospital. I instructed young neurologists to write case reports in English. Owing to this achievement, the third chairman, Professor Nobutaka Hattori, recommended me to be a recipient of Alumni Scientific Award and to become a professor of neurology in 2009. I also became an executive officer of the Asian and Oceanian Section of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorders Society from 2015 to 2019. In 2017, I was appointed as the dean of the Faculty of Health Science and Nursing. I devoted myself to improving the nursing education and then I received the Best Professor Award twice. The level of the faculty improved, so that all the students were able to pass the National Nursing Examination consistently. In conclusion, I thank all my colleagues, faculty members, and family for letting me have valuable experiences and memories in Juntendo University.","PeriodicalId":223994,"journal":{"name":"Juntendo Medical Journal","volume":"388 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135710487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the peri-infarct area of a rat middle cerebral artery occlusion model, we found that the axons and dendrites that had fallen off in the acute phase of stroke (7 days) were regenerated in the chronic phase of stroke (56 days). In vitro, we showed that phosphatase tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10/Akt/Glycogen synthase kinase 3β signaling is implicated in postischemic axonal regeneration. In a rat model of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion, oral administration of L-carnitine induced axonal and oligodendrocyte regeneration in the cerebral white matter, resulting in myelin thickening, and it improved cognitive impairment in rats with chronic cerebral ischemia. Recently, it has been shown that exosomes enhanced functional recovery after stroke. Exosome treatment has less tumorigenicity, does not occlude the microvascular system, has low immunogenicity, and does not require a host immune response compared to conventional cell therapy. Several studies demonstrated specific microRNA in exosomes, which regulated signaling pathways related to neurogenesis after stroke. Collectively, there are various mechanisms of axonal regeneration and functional recovery after stroke, and it is expected that new therapeutic agents for stroke with the aim of axonal regeneration will be developed and used in real-world clinical practice in the future.","PeriodicalId":223994,"journal":{"name":"Juntendo Medical Journal","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135052520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
