Takata-Ara Reaction

The Takata-Are reaction is a type of body response to stress that was discovered by Japanese scientists. It was named after two scientists - Takata and Ara.

The Takata-Ara reaction was first described in 1970 by Japanese pathologist Takata and psychiatrist Ara. They found that patients with mental illness may have increased sensitivity to stress. This manifests itself in the form of various symptoms such as anxiety, depression, insomnia and others.

Scientists have suggested that this reaction may be associated with disruption of the nervous system and hormonal balance. They also found that the takata-aru reaction can be treated with medication and psychotherapy.

Since then, the takata-are reaction has been widely studied in scientific circles and is used to diagnose and treat mental illness. However, despite all the advances in this field, takata-arre reaction remains difficult to understand and treat.

The Takata-Aru reaction can be viewed as the sensitizing introduction of a new antigenic system that can enhance the body's immune responses. Pathogenesis reactions are carried out through the heterologous influence of new factors that stimulate the development of hyperimmune inflammation in the chronic process of the disease. At the same time, one can note a diffuse thickening of the border line due to the stimulation of the regulatory mechanisms of adaptation of the body, in contrast to the acute process of inflammation, where catarrhal elements are predominantly developed.

Takata-Ari (T. Ara, Toya Ara) - Japanese pathophysiologist and psychiatrist of the first half of the 20th century. Born on April 1, 1885 in Nagasaki in the family of a rickshaw driver. Subsequently, his father went bankrupt, after which the family left for Osaka, and three years later - to Kodokawa, where the boy spent his childhood. He studied history and literature at Kyoto University, studying with Doitsu Yonamori (1863-1965). In 1909, Takata received a Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence on the subject of Epilepsy, starting a scientific career only at the age of 36. After receiving a position as a teacher at Komae College, he researched issues of endogenous alcoholism, various psychoses, mental disorders caused by tuberculosis and other problems related to psychosomatics. I adhered to the following views: to diagnose a disease, it is important to observe the patient’s behavior in an unusual, stressful situation, and the doctor’s work to establish the meaning of the symptoms is very important. In 132 scientific papers he described cases of paralysis, syphilis, diabetes mellitus, alcoholism, iridocyclitis and other diseases and pathologies. He became the author of the so-called classification of chronic mental illnesses - a stable point of melancholy was identified, thanks to which new scientific ideas began to emerge. He himself taught not only to doctors, but also to students from the physical education section. He was a teacher for Hiroshi Nakamura, the founder of the Japanese Olympic Committee, according to whom women should play equally with men in the Olympic Games. Unfortunately, he passed away before he was able to realize many of his creative ideas.
