Autoimmune diseases triggered by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA vaccination have been emerging. Here, we report the case of a 27-year-old Japanese man with autoimmunity-related neutrophilic dermatosis, occurring as an initial cutaneous manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus with Sjögren syndrome after the second dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccination. The patient presented with urticarial erythema and partially annular erythema on the trunk and extremities with severe pruritus.

Personality and emotional factors are supposed to influence the course of skin diseases, such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Few reports exist, however, showing distinct personality traits among patients with psoriasis, atopic dermatitis patients and healthy controls. The aim of the present study was to examine personality differences among psoriasis patients, atopic dermatitis patients and healthy controls in Japan.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the subconsciousness of hospital pharmacists regarding them practicing drip infusion or blood drawing for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), etc. We conducted a mail-in survey targeting 476 randomly-selected hospital pharmacists. In our survey sheet we presented our "hypothetical condition" i.

For the purpose of providing a pre-education prior to clinical practice which can be reflected in clinical practices, we researched and analyzed the consciousness, requests, and etc, for pre-education prior to clinical practice of the directive pharmacists who work in a community hospital or pharmacy. We conducted questionnaire-survey which targeted for the directive pharmacists of the on-the-job trainees in the participating institutions (including 45 community hospitals and 179 community pharmacies) of the College of Pharmacy Nihon University. The average collection rate from each institution group was 55.

This research intends to clarify the future prospects of hospital pharmacists and also the factors which influence on their practices of blood drawing or injection by conducting research on their consciousness. We studied it using mail-in survey targeting on randomly selected 476 hospital pharmacists. Study items were the attribution of responders, the prospects of their status in 10 years later, and the system and practices which influence on their future prospects (for example, injection, blood drawing during TDM, and etc.

We developed a new survey analysis technique to understand students' actual aims for effective pretraining prior to clinical practice. We asked third-year undergraduate students to write fixed-style complete and free sentences on "preparation of drug dispensing." Then, we converted their sentence data in to text style and performed Japanese-language morphologic analysis on the data using language analysis software.

Puralpha has been implicated in mRNA transport and translation in neurons. We previously reported that Puralpha is a component of mRNA/protein complexes (Puralpha-mRNPs) with several other proteins. Among them, we found the C9orf10 (Homo sapiens chromosome 9 open reading frame 10) protein, which was recently characterized as a component of RNA-containing structures.

Puralpha, which is involved in diverse aspects of cellular functions, is strongly expressed in neuronal cytoplasm. Previously, we have reported that this protein controls BC1 RNA expression and its subsequent distribution within dendrites and that Puralpha is associated with polyribosomes. Here, we report that, following treatment with EDTA, Puralpha was released from polyribosomes in mRNA/protein complexes (mRNPs), which also contained mStaufen, Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP), myosin Va, and other proteins with unknown functions.
