内科学第2講座
和歌山県立医科大学第二内科は、内科2講座2教授制となった昭和29年に開講しました。楠井賢造先生、矢高勲先生、西岡新吾先生、一瀬雅夫先生の先代4教授が築き上げられた当講座を、平成28年7月より引き継がせていただいております。当講座は300人以上の医師を輩出し、和歌山県における消化器内科領域の教育?研究?診療の中心的存在であり、さらに地域医療を担う医師を育成する教育機関としての重要な役割を担っております。
当講座は、消化管?肝胆膵全領域にわたり最先端診療?研究を行う専門領域のバランスのとれた教室です。私は主に胆膵疾患に対する最先端内視鏡?超音波技術を実践し、新しい診療技術の研究開発を行ってきました。前任の一瀬教授はHelicobacter pylori感染と胃癌の研究において、世界的な研究実績があります。炎症性腸疾患の診療では、多数の治験を実施し、最先端診療を提供してきております。消化管内視鏡治療では内視鏡的粘膜下層剥離術(ESD)件数が全国でも有数であり、最も難易度が高いと言われている大腸腫瘍に対するESDを実施できる医師が4名在籍しております。肝癌に対するラジオ波焼灼術は県内全域?泉南地域の治療の中心的存在であり、各地域より肝癌の患者さんが紹介されてきており、全国でもトップ10に入る実績があります。
消化管?肝胆膵の全臓器に関する、基礎から臨床研究まで、スクリーニングから最先端治療まで全ての領域を網羅することを教室の基本方針としております。また、消化器内科は急性期疾患が多く、「フットワークの軽い診療姿勢」が重要です。和歌山県内で発症した消化器疾患をできるだけ早急に受け入れ、高度かつ最善の医療を提供できるよう努めて行きたいと考えております。県の医療の中心的役割を果たしているという自覚を持ち、消化器疾患患者の最後の砦として、他施設からの患者の受け入れを積極的に行っております。
内視鏡および超音波等を用いた診断?治療では、最先端診療を実践すると同時に新規技術の研究開発を行っております。一方で、和歌山県は人口移動の少ない県であることから、地域医療を活用した和歌山県全体に及ぶ大規模な臨床研究を積極的に実施し、県民の健康増進に努めております。私の就任後、「きのくにプロジェクト」と称した膵癌早期発見の地域医療連携システムを構築し、和歌山県における膵癌患者の予後改善に努めております。
最後に、全員が一丸となって、和歌山県における消化器疾患の予後向上をめざし、最先端診療?研究を世界に向けて発信し続けていく所存です。

教育概要
当講座の基本的教育方針として、医局員全員が基本的消化器診療技術を修得し、大学あるいは関連病院に来院する、いかなる消化器疾患患者にも対応できるよう教育しております。また、早期に内科専門医、消化器関連専門医(消化器病学会、消化器内視鏡学会、肝臓学会、超音波医学会)を取得することを目標しております。
当講座の特徴的な教育方針として、消化管?肝?胆膵の全領域の専門医が一名ずつ構成されているグループで診療活動を行い、研修医がそのグループの一員として働くことにより、消化器全領域を偏りなく研修できることが挙げられます。また、内視鏡等の検査の際には、常時指導医とともにペアで手技を実施することとなっており、指導面でも重厚な体制で臨んでいます。
消化器関連専門医取得後は、それぞれの目的に応じた「懐の広い」指導体制を整えております。全ての基本的な内視鏡技術、超音波技術を早期に修得できるよう、それぞれの研修カリキュラムを組んでおります。また、大学で研究活動を積極的に行い、その研究成果を世界へ向けて発信する研究者、最先端診療を実践し県内外から診療依頼を受け、国際学会で内視鏡ライブデモンストレーションを行うエキスパートを多く育成することも教室の重要な役割と考えております。さらに、地域中核病院へ出向し、消化器疾患診療を中心として地域医療を守ることも重要な貢献となります。

診療概要
診療内容(専門領域)、診療方針
第二内科の診療は、内科疾患、特に消化器(消化管、肝臓、胆膵)系疾患を専門分野として診療を行っています。すなわち、関連施設との連携により多数の症例が集まる肝癌、胃癌、大腸癌をはじめとする消化器悪性腫瘍を標的に、診療グループを1)上部消化管 2)下部消化管 3)肝臓 4)胆膵の4つに分けてグル-プで診療活動を行っています。
消化管および胆膵系悪性疾患に対しては内視鏡を中心にした診断法の精度、効率の向上に努めつつ、早期病変に対する内視鏡的粘膜下層剥離術(ESD)などの治療を積極的に行いながら、これらの手技の改良に努めています。
その他、消化器疾患診療に対するdynamic imageの導入、H.pylori除菌や肝炎ウイルスに対するインターフェロン療法などによる慢性炎症制御による当該領域の発癌制御、予後の改善、急性出血例に対する対応を含めたAcid peptic disorders の制御、炎症性腸疾患の治療、特に治療抵抗例に対する白血球除去療法はじめとする治療法の検討、肝癌に対する経皮的ラジオ波焼灼療法(RFA)などに力点をおいているのが特徴です。
さらに救急集中治療部へも教室員を派遣し、消化器系の救急重症疾患にも協力して対応できる様に努めています。
