ABSTRACT
The Japan-Korea Primary Care Exchange Programme, which is an international project held by the Japan Primary Care Association and Korean Academy of Family Medicine, provides young family physicians opportunities to visit annual conferences and training programs each year. This article reports the history and several topics that Japanese delegates in 2018 learned about in Korea regarding family medicine: "Outpatient Department" "Health Information Systems" "Healthcare System for the Rapidly Aging Population," and "The Current Situation and Issues in Long-term Care Insurance."
ABSTRACT
Chinese medical classics are important carriers for the inheritance, innovation and development of academic thoughts of Chinese medicine (CM), containing rich thoughts on diagnosis and treatment as well as therapeutic principles of CM. The international exchange of CM has a very long history. With the development of society, Western scholars in modern times are deepening their researches on Chinese medical classics. This would provide a new way for promoting CM in Western countries to investigate researches made by famed American scholars and their academic viewpoints.
ABSTRACT
Objective To learn the intention and demand of nurses of cancer hospitals to train abroad, so as to promote international exchange and management of nursing work. Methods Investigation was carried out by self-designed questionnaires among the nurses at the cancer hospital.The questionnaire covered the basic information of the nurses, the intention and demand of studying abroad, and information of those who have completed study abroad. The differences among different age groups were compared by descriptive statistics and χ2 test. Results Of the 700 people surveyed, 71.7% (502/700) of the nurses expect to study and train abroad.Their main purpose was to learn new nursing skills, new knowledge and nursing supervision methods.Nurses expect to study and train abroad for updating their concepts, promoting nursing skills, improving their command of a foreign language, and enhancing knowledge update ability. 54.9% (384/700)of the respondents were found with concerns for studying abroad.67.4% (33/49) of the respondents had the assessments after returning home. And 69.4% (34/49) of the respondents had more opportunities after their return. Conclusions It is important for nurses to study and train abroad.To this end, a gradient and hierarchical platform should be developed for nurses to go abroad for study under an institutionalized framework. It is also necessary to build an international communication platform and to establish a long-term evaluation and assessment mechanism.

ABSTRACT
Este estudo objetiva mapear e descrever programas de intercâmbio/cooperação internacional em lazer, desenvolvidos por grupos de pesquisa (GP) brasileiros. Realizou-se investigação descritiva exploratória, com abordagem quantiqualitativa, em duas fases: 1) mapeamento dos GP em lazer cadastrados no CNPq; 2) contato com os representantes destes GP. Participaram 54 representantes de 211 GP. Nove apontaram o desenvolvimento destes programas por meio de relações com diferentes países. Os trabalhos em colaboração e os intercâmbios são as ações mais frequentes dos programas. Apesar de haver disparidade regional na distribuição dos GP, curta duração e execução de ações isoladamente, acredita-se que estes programas tenham propostas promissoras para o lazer, suscitando novas investigações.
The intent of this study is to map out and describe exchange programs/international cooperation for leisure developed by Brazilian research groups (GPs). We conducted a descriptive exploratory research with quantitative and qualitative approach. The study included 54 representatives of 211 leisure GP. Nine indicated the development of the aforesaid programs. Collaborative works and exchanges are the most frequent actions in these programs. Despite the regional gap in the distribution of the short-term GPs and in the execution of isolated actions, it is believed that these programs have promising proposals to the leisure, bringing about new investigations.
El objetivo de este trabajo es hacer una reflexión sobre los programas de intercambio/cooperación internacional en áreas de ocio llevados a cabo por grupos de investigación (GI) brasileños. Se hizo una investigación descriptiva exploratoria, con un enfoque cuantitativocualitativo. Participaron en el estudio 54 representantes de 211 GI en ocio. Nueve señalaron el desarrollo de los programas mencionados. Se observó que el ocio, entendido como una manifestación cultural en un sentido amplio, fomenta el interés de los investigadores de diversas áreas del conocimiento. Los GI mantienen relaciones con diferentes países. Aunque algunas acciones sean aisladas, y haya disparidad en la distribución regional de los GI, se considera que los programas internacionales en ocio puedan contribuir en el multiculturalismo y en la formación profesional en el área.
ABSTRACT
As a basic teaching method in the medical education system represented by British and USA, overseas elective posting for medical student is playing significant role in enriching medical students’ internship experience as well as improving their comprehensive knowledge and skills. Besides it’s also essential for cultivating modern and high-quality medical talents in line with international stan-dard. Therefore the purpose of the paper is to provide some references for carrying out international ex-change at students’ level smoothly in domestic medical universities and colleges by simply introducing some good experiences and measures from several typical foreign medical colleges.
ABSTRACT
En el Nuevo Mundo el género iPiper (Piperaceae) comprende al menos 500 especies en las que muchos compuestos biológicamente activos fueron identificados; es por ello que el estudio sobre la química y biosíntesis de los miembros de este género son de gran interés, donde el cultivo de tejidos in vitro juega un rol fundamental. El propósito de este trabajo fue desarrollar varios sistemas de cultivo in vitro, en diferentes especies de Piper, con la finalidad de propagarlas clonalmente y regenerarlas por organogénesis directa para el establecimiento de plantas en campo, y la conservación y transferencia internacional de germoplasma. La germinación de semillas alcanzó aproximadamente entre el 20 y el 99% después de 4 semanas de cultivo. La micropropagación fue realizada en medio de cultivo MS suplementado con sacarosa 3%, AIA 0,02 mg L-1 y AG3 0,02 mg L-1. El potencial morfogenético de explantes de raíz, peciolo, hoja, nudo y entrenudo fue investigado con la finalidad de desarrollar un protocolo confiable de regeneración de plantas. La conservación e intercambio internacional de germoplasma in vitro también fue realizado, entre Perú, Brasil y Ecuador.
In the New World the genus Piper (Piperaceae) contains at least 500 species in which many biologically active compounds were identified; is why the study of the chemistry and biosynthesis in members of this genus are of interest, and here techniques in vitro tissue culture plays a fundamental role. The aim of this work was to establish several in vitro culture systems in different Piper species in order to propagate clonally and regenerate by direct organogenesis for the establishment the field plants, the conservation and international germoplasm exchange. The seed germination achieved approximately 20 - 99% after 4 weeks of culture. The micropropagation was performed on MS culture medium supplemented with sucrose (3%), IAA (0,02 mg L-1) and GA3 (0,02 mg L-1). Callus induction and morphogenetic potential of root, petiole, leaf, node and internode explants was investigated to develop a reliable plant regeneration protocol. The in vitro germplasm conservation and international germplasm exchange also was realized, between Perú, Brazil and Ecuador.

ABSTRACT
At this university, an overseas component has been included in the elective clinical clerkship program for sixth-year students since 1998. Since that time, 28 students have done short-term clinical clerkships in various foreign countries. This report presents results of a questionnaire survey of students who have done overseas clerkships. The questionnaire comprised 8 items, including the reason for selecting the clerkship location and the contents of the training program. Questionnaires were returned by 68% of students. Most of the 28 students did clerkships in English-speaking countries. The average duration of study was 2.3 months (range, 1 to 3 months). All students were satisfied with their training experience; however, many felt their language skills were insufficient for participating in overseas training programs. In addition, more comprehensive arrangements, including establishing close contact with the receiving institutions and insurance provisions, are needed to maintain and further develop overseas clinical clerkships.
