川上純 医師 （かわかみあつし）

「患者さんと協力して病気に対処することを心がけ、実地臨床に即した、患者さんに還元できる研究を進めて行きたいと思っています」(川上純医師)
川上純医師らは早期関節炎の患者を対象に、関節リウマチ(RA)の早期分類・診断基準案を2009年にNagasaki scoreとして報告した。これは関節MRI所見を取り入れたもの。2010年には新しいRA分類基準が2010 RA分類基準として米国リウマチ学会(ACR)/欧州リウマチ学会(EULAR)から発表された。川上医師らも関節超音波を新たに加え2010 RA分類基準と組み合わせたNagasaki scoreバージョン2を作成。これらは実地臨床にすぐに応用可能な研究成果と言える。また、長崎県はHTLV-1の高浸淫地域。
川上医師らは20年にわたり、HTLV-1感染とシェーグレン症候群(SS)やRAに関する研究も継続し、抗HTLV-1抗体陽性SSの特徴も明らかにしてきた。これも地域の特色を生かした研究内容であると言えるだろう。それ以外では、研究の進歩が著しい自己炎症症候群や皮膚筋炎、全身性エリテマトーデスに関しても、多施設共同研究の形式もとりながら、臨床ならびに基礎研究を進めている。
「その一方で、当科では長崎市内の診療所や開業医とのRAを中心とした連携医療にも力を入れています」(川上医師)
同院と地域の先生方とのネットワーク作りを通じて、長崎県のリウマチ膠原病疾患の医療レベルの向上にも貢献したいと考えているという。

リウマチ・膠原病内科の初診外来および再診外来は月曜・水曜・金曜。初診を受けられる場合は同院地域連携室に連絡。外来予約日時と担当医を15分ほどで決められる。
