Within the relativistic mean-field approach, we extend the Miyazaki model,where the NN$\sigma$ and NN$\omega$ interactions are modified to suppress thecouplings between positive- and negative-energy states of a nucleon in matter.Assuming appropriate density-dependence of the meson-nucleon couplings, westudy nuclear matter and finite nuclei. The model can reproduce the observedproperties of $^{16}$O and $^{40}$Ca well. We also examine if the model isnatural.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
