16Response to clinical questionsSummary of ActivityWe diagnose and treat patients with viral hepatitis, autoimmune liver disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and other chronic liver diseases. Percutaneous liver biopsy recently introduced non-invasive serum biomarkers, and Fibroscan® test are used for the diagnosis and evaluation of clinical stage and prognosis. For the treatment of liver cancer, we perform radiofrequency ablation therapy, hepatic artery chemoembolization therapy, and the administration of molecular targeted medicines.・Clinical research on anti-viral medicine such as nucleic acid analog therapy and interferon therapy in hepatitis B.・Clinical research on hepatitis C in Nagano prefecture.・Disease susceptibility genes and epigenetic interaction in autoimmune liver disease.・Discovery of novel biomarkers for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.・Our research goal is to solve important clinical questions using epidemiological and mo-lecular biological approaches.・We help patients with chronic liver disease worldwide by actively disseminating our re-search.・You can spend clinical and research life as a world-class liver physician.Research subjectOutlook for researchOutlook for students after graduationLiver TeamLiver Team（（Chief: Associate Prof. Takeji UmemuraChief: Associate Prof. Takeji Umemura））Hepatic examination and treatmentMedicine IIMembers of our liver teamResearch and discoveryNeoplasms, inammatory bowel diseases, infections, and moreStomach and IntestinesStomach and Intestines(Chief: Tadanobu Nagaya)(Chief: Tadanobu Nagaya)Medicine IISummary of ActivityWe seek out problems that need solving in routine endoscopic examinations and in/out-patient services. There are still many unsolved subjects, even in common diseases. Your intention to give better treatment to the patient in front of you makes you ask good questions. If you cannot find the answer in the literature, it becomes a suitable subject for research. You can study about it and make con-ference presentations and articles with the help of many colleagues and faculties at our university. You can publish your findings to the world.・Colitis associated with immune checkpoint inhibitor・Barrett’s esophagus/Barrett’s cancer・Helicobacter pylori infection (gastric cancer after eradication)・Near Infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT)・Endoscopic surgery for esophageal achalasiaYour articles may change medical care practice around the world. You will gain great knowl-edge through study that will enrich you as a clinician. Good researchers are good clinicians, and good clinicians become good researchers.Most students become general internists with a specialty in gastroenterology and work as hospital doctors, practitioners, university faculty members, and more. You can become the doctor you want to be.Research subjectOutlook for researchOutlook for students after graduationWe need to think critically during endoscopic examinations.New research themes sometimes appear in such situations.Nodular gastritis as a result ofH. pylori infection is a strong risk factor for gastric cancerEndoscopic submucosal dissection technique for resection of early cancer in digestive tract
