Following this, the Osaka City Medical School was also merged in 1955 to form the medical department of Osaka City University. As a center of academic research in Osaka, the university continues to research deeply specialized topics and offer an advanced academic education, while working to improve the character of its students to this very day. In April 1953, Osaka City University established master courses in the Graduate Schools of Business, Economics, Law, Literature and Human Sciences, Science, Engineering, and Domestic Science (now Human Life Science), and gradually established doctoral courses in the Graduate Schools of Science (in 1954), Literature and Human Sciences (in 1955), Engineering (in 1956), Medicine (in 1958), Business (in 1965), and Human Life Science (in 1975). With the Ministry of Education Ordinance setting graduate school establishment standards (June 20th, 1974), Osaka City University set all graduate schools as 5 year doctoral courses except for the Graduate School of Medicine (which is a 4 year doctoral course) from April 1975, which are divided into 2 year pre-doctoral courses and 3 year main doctoral courses, with the pre-doctoral courses handled as master courses. Following this, Osaka City University established a master course in the Graduate School of Medicine in April 2002, established the Graduate School for Creative Cities with a master course in April 2003, established the Law School in the Graduate School of Law in April 2004, established a doctoral course in the Graduate School for Creative Cities in April 2005, as well as a master course in the Graduate School of Nursing in April 2008, and doctoral course in the Graduate School of Nursing in April 2010. Looking forward, Osaka City University plans to establish a master course in the Graduate School for Urban Management in 2018. In April 2006, Osaka City University became an independent corporation, Public University Corporation Osaka City University.

  • Research Highlights
    Vol. 16, November 2016 Research Highlights Fishy approach reveals how things taste sweet or umami Okayama University have identified the protein conformational changes associated with sweet and umami taste recognition. Taste recognition occurs as specific protein receptors in the mouth interact with molecules in eaten food. The proteins responsible for tasting sweet and umami molecules are described as taste receptor type 1 (T1r) and are common to vertebrates in general, including fish, birds and mammals. It is known that the T1r family of variants interact with food molecules in paired up structures - “heterodimers” – Yamashita and colleagues identified the structure and to allow the distinction between umami, sweet, and other conformational changes in type 1 taste receptor proteins tastes. However, difficulties in producing and purifying these during the recognition of sweet and umami tastes proteins have inhibited attempts to directly investigate what interactions occur during sweet and umami taste recognition. Atsuko Yamashita and a team of researchers at RIKEN SPring-8 Center, the National Institute of Natural Science, the Graduate University for Advanced Studies (SOKENDAI), the Food Research Institute, Osaka University, Okazaki Institute for Integrative Biosciences, and Okayama University have now successfully demonstrated a way around these difficulties. They identified a fish known as medaka or “Japanese rice fish” as a suitable vertebrate model for investigating umami and sweet tastes. The researchers found they could produce – “express” – the ligand binding domain of the T1r2 and T1r3 proteins in medaka fish as functional heterodimeric proteins. They express the proteins in a glycosylated form, which is closer to the physiological state. The study identifies the conformational changes the proteins undergo during sweet and umami taste recognition for the first time.

We performed a cross-sectional study to clarify the associations between salt load index (urinary sodium- to-potassium ratio (Na/K ratio)), current disease activity, and hypertension in an RA population. Methods: Three hundred thirty-six participants from our cohort database (KURAMA) were enrolled. We used the spot urine Na/K ratio as a simplified index of salt loading and used the 28-Joint RA Disease Activity Score (DAS28- ESR) as an indicator of current RA disease activity. Using these indicators, we evaluated statistical associations between urinary Na/K ratio, DAS28-ESR, and prevalence of hypertension. Results: Urinary Na/K ratio was positively associated with measured systolic and diastolic blood pressure and also with prevalence of hypertension even after covariate adjustment (OR 1.34, p < 0.001). In addition, increased urinary Na/K ratio was significantly and positively correlated with DAS28-ESR in multiple regression analysis (estimate 0.12, p < 0.001), as was also the case in gender-separated and prednisolone-separated sub-analyses.

  • FY2019 Results of Accreditation
    Results of Accreditations Performed by the Japan University Accreditation Association April 10, 2020 Introduction In 2002, the Certified Evaluation and Accreditation System was introduced in Japan (enforced in 2004), obligating all higher education institutions (universities, junior colleges and technical colleges) to undergo an evaluation once every 7 years, and all professional graduate schools to undergo an evaluation once every 5 years as well. In each case, the evaluating agency certified by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) conducts the evaluation process, comprehensively assessing the level of education, and other areas. Since its establishment in 1947, the Japan University Accreditation Association (JUAA) has played a significant role in assuring the quality of higher education. On August 31, 2004, the JUAA was authorized by the Minister of MEXT as the first Certified Evaluation and Accreditation Agency for universities. Authorization for its Certified Evaluation and Accreditation later expanded to several other fields. The JUAA currently performs Certified Evaluation and Accreditation in 11 fields (university, junior college, law school, professional graduate business school, professional graduate public policy school, professional graduate school of public health, professional graduate school of intellectual property studies, professional graduate school of global communications, professional graduate school of digital contents, professional graduate school of global legal studies, and professional graduate school of public relations) and the accreditation for school of veterinary medicine. JUAA has just finalized the results of accreditations for FY 2019 as follows. FY 2019 University Accreditation (Certified Evaluation and Accreditation for University) Results On accepting applications for University Accreditation from 30 universities, the JUAA has undertaken the evaluative process.

  • Osaka---A Gastronomic Wonderland
    Osaka---A Gastronomic Wonderland Osaka is said to be a culinary capital. Reading Japanese Cooking: A Simple Art, written by Shizuo Tsuji, founder of the Tsuji Culinary Institute, the British food journalist Michael Booth was amazed to learn that concepts currently in vogue in contemporary Western-style cooking, such as simplicity, letting the ingredients speak for themselves, and seasonal food, had been talked about so vividly in a book introducing Japanese cuisine written back in 1980. As a result of reading Tsuji’s book, Booth became profoundly interested in Japanese food and decided to make a three-month “foodie road trip” across Japan together with his family. He describes his experiences on that tour in a book titled Sushi and Beyond: What the Japanese Know about Cooking. In that book, Booth writes about food in Osaka. He notes that the respected French restaurant critic Francois Simon told him that Osaka was “his favorite food city in the world” and adds that “I have seen it [Osaka] name-checked in several interviews with top European and US chefs as a place they visit for inspiration.” The book goes on to describe how Booth himself relished his visit to the city, going not only to high-class restaurants but also okonomiyaki, kushikatsu, and other eateries frequented by ordinary folk. After reading Booth’s book, I smacked my lips and knew there was only one place to go---Osaka! IHCSA Café International Hospitality and Conference Service Association (IHCSA) Okonomiyaki (savory pancakes) The origin of okonomiyaki apparently goes way back to the Azuchi-Momoyama period (1568–1600), when the tea master Sen no Rikyu served similar confectionery at tea ceremonies.
