The objective was to investigate whether the PQA is appropriate for Japanese medical school applicants. Two of the PQA tests, Libertarian-Dual-Communitarian moral orientations (Mojac) and Narcissism, Aloofness, Confidence, and Empathy (NACE), were translated into Japanese, and administered at the Tokyo Women's Medical University entrance examinations from 2007 to 2009. The distributions of the applicants' Mojac and NACE scores were close to the normal distribution, and the mean scores did not exhibit a large difference from those in Western countries. The only significant difference was that the mean score of the NACE test was slightly lower than the Western norm. The translated PQA tests may be appropriate for use with Japanese applicants, though further research considering cultural differen...

MATERIALS AND METHODS Questionnaires were mailed to a total of 1398 female doctors who graduated from Tokyo Women's Medical University (TWMU) between 1989 and 2003. The response rate was over 30%, giving 248 respondents who had undergone a PBL curriculum (PBL+) and 220 subjects who had not (PBL-). Current specialty of the graduates were compared between the PBL+ and PBL-, and also compared with the general Japanese female doctors (Control 1 and 2) of similar age groups. Respondents were analysed in terms of their interests in subspecialty medical care or general medical practise, which includes comprehensive medical care, primary care and basic medicine. Internal medicine doctors working in the university hospitals were compared with those working outside the university hospitals. Internal medicine doctors were also...

At day 10 glandular buds are not yet formed anywhere in the epithelium and the distribution of proliferative activity in the epithelium is not differential. On the following day the peripheral buds are being formed at the externo-lateral end of the basal luminal epithelium, L.I. increases locally in these buds. At day 12 a localized increase of L.I. takes place also at the median end; extremely high labeling indices are seen at the tip of the peripheral buds and developing central buds.

In the beginning of the morphogenesis of the uropygial gland of the quail embryo, placode formation occurs: Epidermal basal cells remain cuboidal until day 7 of incubation. At day 8 they begin to elongate, become columnar, and develop placode-like structure at day 9. To examine the proliferative activity of the epidermal basal cells, we recorded positions of [3H]-thymidine-labelled nuclei in serial sections by autoradiography (ARG) using a digitizer and a microcomputer. The distribution pattern of labelled nuclei was reconstituted and redisplayed on the cathode ray tube (CRT) as two-dimensional computer graphics. Three-dimensional reconstitution of the same serial sections revealed that cuboidal basal cells in the presumptive uropygial placode became columnar. Unlike the feather and scale placodes, the uropygial placode possessed no resting period of DNA synthesis. The labelling index of the uropygial placode increased considerably compared with that of nonplacode epidermis. No dermal condensation was observed beneath the uropygial placode.
