This study compared the results of pre- and post-work-life balance (WLB) class questionnaires administered to medical students in 2012 and 2022 to examine changes in attitudes. Male students showed increased interest in taking parental leave and a greater tendency to prioritize childcare. Female students became more aware of the importance of their careers, while their desire for childcare leave also increased. After the class, both male and female students showed a stronger tendency to consider their partner’s intentions when selecting a future employer. As reforms in physicians’ working styles continue, students’ attitudes are evolving, and individualized support and career guidance will need to be strengthened in the future.

Gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland mucosa type (GA-FGM) was proposed as a new variant of gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland type (GA-FG). However, at present, the influence of Helicobacter pylori and the speed of progression and degree of malignancy in GA-FGM remain unclear. Herein, we report the first case of intramucosal GA-FGM that was endoscopically observed before and after H. pylori eradication over 15 years. The lesion showed the same tumor size with no submucosal invasion and a low MIB-1 labeling index 15 years after its detection using endoscopy. The endoscopic morphology changed from 0-IIa before H. pylori eradication to 0-IIa+IIc and then 0-I after H. pylori eradication. These findings suggest that the unaltered tumor size reflects low-grade malignancy and slow growth, and that the endoscopic morphology is influenced by H. pylori eradication.
