Inflammatory Molecules Promote Liver Scarring
Scarring of the liver, which can progress to cirrhosis and/or cancer of the liver, is caused by persistent liver damage, such as occurs in those with untreated hepatitis C or alcoholism. Although such scarring (fibrosis) develops in an inflammatory environment, the role of inflammatory molecules has not been well defined. However, a team of researchers at Columbia University, New York, and UCSD, La Jolla, has established that the proteins CCR1 and CCR5 and the soluble inflammatory molecules that bind to them promote the development of liver fibrosis in mice.

RCN Responds To NHS Confederation Warning On The Downturn, UK

Commenting on the publication of the NHS Confederation report Dealing with the downturn: the greatest ever leadership challenge for the NHS, Dr Peter Carter, Chief Executive & General Secretary of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), said: "This report paints a particularly bleak picture for the NHS over the next couple of years, which is deeply concerning. During a downturn, health can suffer and the NHS must be fit to deal with this. We are in total agreement with the NHS Confederation that cutting staffing levels and training would only exacerbate problems in an already stretched health service. "In times of financial difficulty, the need for stringent evaluation to ensure all spending offers genuine value for money, and that funding intended for patient care does not get siphoned off elsewhere, is even more important. "Our recent Freedom of Information request revealed that ÷£350 million pounds a year is spent on management consultants, of which over ÷£273 million was not related to direct patient care. This could account for more than 10% of the NHS savings expected by the Government. Every individual Trust needs to ask themselves if they need to take on a management consultant for certain tasks." Royal College of Nursing
