theories and since March, 2005. Written in applications regarding medicine and health sciences, researching English, and accessible on the in depth, and fostering students’ intellectual and moral abilities and university website, it outlines the their capacity for application. scientific research activities of research groups (departments) Sapporo and individual researchers of President, Sapporo Medical University from Kohzoh Imai,M.D., Ph.D. September 2004 to September 2009. Sapporo Medical University was founded (as Sapporo Medical College) in 1950 by the Hokkaido Prefecture Government, and since its establishment, has produced a total of about 6,000 graduates from the School of Medicine and the School of Health Sciences. Many now active on the front line of healthcare services and medical research in Hokkaido and are contributing to the improvement of healthcare and welfare in Hokkaido. In addition, Sapporo Medical University has established medical exchange programs with universities in Finland, Canada, China and the U.S.A, promoting exchange activities between researchers and students, and has provided internationally-oriented human resources, at all times striving to apply the results of this research to improve health services in the rural areas of Hokkaido. Furthermore, to improve the health and welfare of people throughout the world, we are actively engaged in sending our researchers to developing countries and inviting trainees from overseas to do research at our institution. With the goal of furthering these services, Sapporo Medical University aims to produce high-quality healthcare professionals, to maintain and enhance high levels of research and to return the benefits of this research to the rural areas. We hope this pamphlet provides researchers at home and abroad with an opportunity to collaborate with us and contribute to the improvement of community health. 3 HISTORY As part of Hokkaido’s comprehensive development, Sapporo Medical University was founded in 1950 using Hokkaido Women’s Medical College as a model. In 1993, the School of Health Sciences was established in accordance with the reorganization of the Health Sciences Junior College – which opened in April 1983 – attached to Sapporo Medical College.

The first success artery blood flow in pregnant women with the goal of criterion for this project is to develop a baseline model that characterizing the state of placentation and fetal blood supply. produces physiologically realistic pressure and flow waveforms UAD generates waveforms to monitor the velocity of blood at different systemic arterial locations. For example, the average flowing through the uterine artery. An abnormal UAD pressure that we expect to see in the ascending aorta and femoral waveform, representing the failure of proper gestational artery is around 97 mmHg, while the average flow in the adaptations, is associated with high-risk for pregnancy ascending aorta and femoral artery is 83 and 4 ml/s, respectively. complications or adverse fetal outcome such as preeclampsia or We will strive to have our model-based outputs within 5% of the fetal growth restriction (FGR) [1]. physiological values obtained from the literature. In normal pregnancy, vascular adaptations occur in the maternal body to help accommodate the placenta and fetus. METHODS Blood volume, heart rate, and cardiac output increase, while the The baseline model was built using Matlab/Simulink and vascular resistance decreases.

Harris* Maternal and Fetal Health Research Group, University of Manchester, UK article info abstract Article history: During human pregnancy, the uterine spiral arteries are progressively remodelled to form dilated Accepted 23 November 2010 conduits lacking maternal vasomotor control. This phenomenon ensures that a constant supply of blood is delivered to the materno-fetal interface at an optimal velocity for nutrient exchange. Conversion of Keywords: a tonic maternal arteriole composed of multiple layers of vascular smooth muscle, elastin and numerous Artery other extracellular matrix components, into a highly dilated yet durable vessel, requires tight regulatory Decidua control and the coordinated actions of multiple cell types. Initial disruption of the vascular wall, char- Elastin acterised by foci of endothelial cell loss, and separation and misalignment of vascular smooth muscle EVT fl Extracellular matrix cells (VSMC), is coincident with an in ux of uterine natural killer (uNK) cells and macrophages. uNK cells Invasion are a source of angiogenic growth factors and matrix degrading proteases, thus they possess the capacity Leukocytes to initiate changes in VSMC phenotype and instigate extracellular matrix catabolism. However, complete Macrophages vascular cell loss, mediated in part by apoptosis and dedifferentiation, is only achieved following colo- Myometrium nisation of the arteries by extravillous trophoblast (EVT). EVT produce a variety of chemokines, cytokines Remodelling and matrix degrading proteases, enabling them to influence the fate of other cells within the placental Trophoblast bed and complete the remodelling process.
