In order to create this, we will take on the challenge of
conducting clinical research with a high level of evidence to verify the hypotheses we have derived based on previous research. At present, we do not have enough funds to complete our research and translate the results into academic conference presentations and paper submissions, so we will conduct crowdfunding in order to foresee and smoothly proceed with our research activities.

orthopedics, obstetrics and gynecology, anesthesiology, plastic surgery, oral surgery, neurosurgery, and otorhinolaryngology, as well as training seminars and graduation programs for young doctors. Post-graduate training is being conducted. In order to provide practical surgical training, it is essential to create an environment similar to an actual operating room, but medical equipment is expensive, and centers are short of supplies and consumables. Clinical courses either prepare their own equipment or spend a large amount of money renting surgical equipment and consumables from contractors each time.
In order to continue to provide training opportunities to more surgeons, we have taken up the challenge of crowdfunding.

– overview :
Crohn’s disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes chronic, intractable inflammation and ulcers in all parts of the gastrointestinal tract, from the mouth to the anus. The cause of the disease is still unknown, and it primarily occurs in young people in their teens to 30s, known as the AYA generation. In addition to the main symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloody stool, fever, weight loss, and malnutrition, digestive symptoms such as joint pain, skin symptoms (erythema nodosum, pyoderma gangrenosum, etc.), and eye inflammation (iritis) Symptoms other than those associated with this disease may occur, and these can have a significant impact on the patient’s daily life.
In particular, deep ulcers in the gastrointestinal tract, fistulas (so-called tunnels) formed between surrounding organs, intestinal tract strictures, and anal fistulas around the anus are often treated surgically if they do not improve with nutritional therapy, existing medicines, or antibody preparations. This is a serious lesion that can lead to decreased quality of life (QOL), such as short bowel syndrome and colostomy. Therefore, there is a need to develop new treatments that avoid surgery as much as possible and improve QOL. We are conducting research to develop new cell therapy drugs using
mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for intractable ulcers and fistula lesions in the intestinal tract, and are aiming to “avoid as many cases as possible of intestinal resection surgery and anal fistula surgery.” ” and “improvement of QOL.”

– Page URL: https://readyfor.jp/projects/sapmed-ped-challenge2024 – Target amount: 7 million yen
– Executor: Kenji Hirakawa, Assistant Professor, Department of Pediatrics, Sapporo Medical University School of Medicine
– Format: Donation deduction type / All or Nothing format
– Publication period: May 13, 2024 (Monday) to June 30, 2024 (Sunday) 23:00 – Use of funds: Training costs for trauma care personnel
– overview :
People injured in accidents are transported to our hospital’s advanced critical care center. Some of these patients are children, such as those who have had to have their legs amputated and who are alone with heavy feelings, others who cannot sleep in ICU beds, and those who are not physically injured. We see many cases in which children are deeply traumatized, such as children whose behavior changes from their usual behavior due to being a witness.
The Department of Pediatrics actively provides psychological care for children and their families admitted to the Advanced Critical Care Center, but due to manpower constraints, we are unable to respond to all cases. In order to provide sufficient psychological care to children who have been involved in accidents, it is necessary to train medical staff who can provide trauma care, but in Japanese medical care, training to hone specialized skills is based on individual enthusiasm and financial resources. Much depends on the burden. Please help us develop medical staff who can provide trauma care and heal the hearts of children.
