This study investigated children living in foster homes, a type of child welfare institution, in Japan. Foster care provides a home environment to children who have been abused and/or neglected by parents who have parenting difficulties. Approximately 12.3% of children living in foster homes in Japan have a parent with mental illness, but despite growing concern, the psychological impact of having a parent with mental illness among foster children is currently not known. In this study, we conducted a follow-up survey of 97 children aged 3–18 years who lived in foster homes and analyzed open-ended survey questions. The major finding was that 35% of the children had a parent with mental illness. Analysis also extracted six psychological impacts of having a parent with mental illness: anxiety/confusion, repressed emotion, distorted image of parents, imitation of parents, parentification, and other. Even after having been separated from their parents and admitted to foster homes, children were disturbed and confused because of the adverse effect of their parents. These findings suggest the importance of providing psychological care for emotional support of foster children struggling with their relationship with their parents.

In schools across Japan, the issue of students refusing to go to school is increasingly becoming more complex and varied. Recent trends have shown that the percentage of elementary and middle school students who refuse to go to school is at an alltime high. Thus, attention has been focused on free schools as a place that supports children who refuse to go to school. Free schools welcome students who have become unable to go to school. On the other hand, due to the higher awareness of the issue of children who refuse to go to school, there are many university students who wish to learn about this issue in university classes. However, in universities, the focus is on learning and acquiring knowledge about the issue itself; opportunities are rare for university students to interact with children who have experienced this issue.This paper reports the implementation and progress of a program through which university students who had an interest in the issue could interact with elementary school students who attend a free school. Through the program, both the university students and free school students developed deeper relationships through such activities as games and exploring the university campus. Moreover, a survey was distributed to the university students, and a qualitative analysis was conducted on changes in the state of mind of the university students before and after the program. As a result, it was suggested that before the program, the university students held anxieties about interacting with the children and had biased views of the issue of children refusing to go to school. After the program, the university students saw changes in their impressions of this issue and felt that their perspectives were widened. Furthermore, this paper discusses the significance of university students learning about the issue of children refusing to go to school through practical experience.

NKT細胞はT細胞とNK細胞の特性を併せ持つユニークな細胞であり、様々な疾患の制御に深く関わっている。本研究ではマウス創傷治癒モデルを用いて創傷治癒過程におけるNKT細胞の役割に注目し解析を行った。NKT細胞を欠損したJα18KOマウスでは、WTマウスと比べ創傷治癒が遅延した。この遅延は、WTマウス由来のNKT細胞を20~30%程度含む肝臓単核球集団(LMNC)を移植されたJα18KOマウスで回復した。また、WTマウスにNKT細胞を活性化させるα-GlaCerを投することにより創傷治癒が促進した。これらの結果より、NKT細胞が皮膚創傷治癒過程において重要な役割を担うことが明らかとなった。
