We are going to watch the JIU Pharmaceutical International Education Archive in which Ms. Keiko Assenheimer, a pharmacist in Germany, gave a lecture on Japanese society, pharmaceutical sicence, healthcare system, and the role of pharmacists from her viewpoints . Afterwards, we will discuss whether or not the course aims to consider the role of Japanese pharma and pharmacists seen not only from within Japan but also from abroad, and whether or not this will benefit the growth of each member of the class.

ドイツで活躍されている薬剤師アッセンハイマー慶子さんが、日本の社会、薬学、医療制度、そして、薬剤師の役割について話された薬学国際教育のアーカイブ映像を視聴する。その後、当該科目で国内だけでなく海外から見た日本の薬学や薬剤師の役割を考えることが、参加してくれた皆さん一人ひとりの成長にプラスになるかどうか議論する。

The health care system in Switzerland and its influence on pharmacists' duties and responsibilities / スイスの医療制度と薬剤師の業務内容への影響

The health care system in Switzerland differs from other European countries in the fact that there is no national health insurance, but residents are required to get health insurance from a private insurance company. In this lecture, students will learn about the Swiss health care system and the problems it faces, as well as what responsibilities pharmacists are taking on to improve public health. We will take a closer look at the services that Swiss pharmacists are providing to customers (such as vaccine administration, emergency contraceptive services, and dispensing certain prescription drugs to patients without a prescription) and compare them to Japan.

Effects of Wasabi on the Gastrointestinal Tract for Our Health ? / ワサビの消化管への作用が私たちの健康に役立つ？(Dr. Tashima)
Spices such as chili and wasabi are an essential dining table’s flavor for having a good appetite in our daily meal.  Recently, these spices were also shown to facilitate gastrointestinal function including gastric acid secretion and motility from the bench work.  So we should have spices more?  The lecture will be talked and discussed with audiences about how we enjoy and keep our health with spices from pharmaceutical point of view.

Drug discovery and pharmaceutic　創薬と薬剤学 (Dr. Mori)
In the study of medicine, the toxic effect and drug efficacy of the chemical compound are important as well as dosage form. Chemical compound is absorbed, distributed, metabolized and excreted in the body after administration of medicine. Rates of these four processes can be modified by pharmaceutical dosage form and formulation additives to improve the usefulness of the medicine. The students will learn about pharmaceutical dosage form and formulation additives in this class.

A novel therapeutic approach for improving women’s health 女性の健康増進に向けた新たな治療法の提案  (Dr. Niikura)
Every woman is destined to face with reproductive aging (menopause), resulting from the lost capacity to maintain eggs containing ovarian follicles in the ovaries. The age-related alteration leads to infertility and systemic health complications such as osteoporosis, and thus severely impairs work-life balance of women, a major social issue in many of the developed countries including Japan. My research group has been working on to develop a novel therapeutic approach for maintaining ovarian follicle reserve in terms of quality and quantity through “neo-oogenesis”. This lecture is designed to provide students with an opportunity to broaden their visions by learning the impact of basic science on our society.

Apply the latest technology for prevention of lifestyle diseases / 生活習慣病予防のための最新技術の応用 (Dr. Kakegawa)
As symptoms of lifestyle diseases are difficult to recognize and treatment is required for a long term or a lifetime, interest in correct lifestyle that prevent lifestyle diseases in advance is increasing in Japan. I would like to introduce an attempt to predict the effects of medicine, the living environment and eating habits on our QOL by using the latest trick omics information and propose correct lifestyle habits and environments based on our results.

Read the FIP development goals  1
FIP (国際薬剤師・薬学連合) development goalsを読む  (Dr. Tashima)

FIP (International Pharmaceutical Federation) is an organization representing more than 4 million pharmacists, pharmacy scientists, and pharmacy educators from 146 countries around the world. The FIP has announced its Development Goals, which are 21 development goals that address what elements of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), are necessary for the further development of the FIP, and what initiatives will be required in the future. The 21 goals are to be achieved by the FIP. In order to be understood by pharmacists, pharmacy students, and pharmacy education researchers around the world, the FIP needed to be translated in each country. Prof. Shigeo Yamamura led this effort, and the Japanese version was published in 2022. Let's deepen our understanding of what pharmacists around the world are working toward by reading in a circle.

国際薬剤師・薬学連合 FIPとは、146の国から世界中の400万人を超える薬剤師、薬科学者、薬学教育者を代表する団体です。そのFIPが2020年に開発目標を発表しました（FIP Development Goals と呼びます）。FIP Development Goalsでは国内でもSDGs (持続可能な開発目標)という言葉はご存じと思いますが、FIPがさらに発展するためにはどのような要素が必要で、どのような取り組みが今後必要になっていくかを掲げた21項目の開発目標を設定されています。そして、その内容は世界中の薬剤師、薬学生、および、薬学教育研究者に理解されるために、それぞれの国で翻訳されることが求められていました。その活動を本学の山村重雄教授が中心となって行い、2022年日本語訳が発表されました。世界の薬剤師が何を目標にして活動しているのか輪読することで理解を深めましょう。
