| 抄録 | Over the past 100 years Gastroenterology has evolved from a science based on the most rudimentary assessment of gastrointestinal tract function to define the molecular basis of many of the most common GI disorders. This progress has been made possible by a variety of trends that when looked at together seem a paradoxical mixture. Many significant advances have been the result of very focused, GI-targeted research while others have been possible only through substantial cross-fertilization by other disciplines, both basic and other clinical fields. This cross-fertilization has also resulted from cooperation between investigators across institutions and international collaboration. Over the past decades, interactions between physicians and scientists in the U.S. and Japan have epitomized this broadened, collaborative approach and have been the catalyst to accelerate progress on many important problems, e.g. H. pylori, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, and GI cancer. These collaborations have also resulted in an appreciation of variations in clinical manifestations and likely pathogenesis between the populations of the two countries as is increasingly evident in the differential associations of Inflammatory Bowel Disease susceptibility genes. The future is almost certainly a continuation, if not an acceleration, of this trend, with increasing need for much broader research coalitions to address the most important unanswered challenges in the field. Thus, the future undoubtedly holds great progress in the field and increasing closeness of the two countries. |
