Inhibition of Aberrant IGF-I Signaling in Diabetic Male Rat Retina Prevents and Reverses Changes of Diabetic Retinopathy by Gang Xi, Christine Wai, David Clemmons

“…To determine if it could reverse established pathophysiologic changes in vivo, this antibody or normal rat IgG F(ab)2 was injected intraperitoneally for 6 weeks into rats that had diabetes for 4 weeks. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed that retinal thickness increased at 4 weeks and this increase was maintained in rats treated with the control antibody for an additional 6 weeks. …”

Investigation of intracellular signals generated by γ-interferon and IL-4 leading to the induction of class II antigen expression by S. Vassiliadis, N. Kyrpides, D. Stravopodis, M. Grigoriou, I. Athanassakis, J. Papamatheakis

“…As major histocompatibility complex antigens (MHC) or human leukocyte antigens (HLA), are important in immune recognition and response, the results show that for human cells a more coherent method of HLA-DR antigen induction is followed after γ-IFN administration, as calcium participation seems to be the first step in signal transduction. …”

Routes to social prescribing outside National Health Service (NHS) structures: a systematic map by Kerryn Husk, Stephanie Tierney, Lucy Gavens, Emma Hazeldine, Sophie Westwood, Mohammad Hassannezhad

“…The synthesis indicated that NHS and non-NHS social prescribing pathways are intertwined and mutually reliant, such that it was neither sensible nor valuable to view them as separate.Conclusions Our review provides further evidence for social prescribing as a concept, variable across all components, rather than a single, coherent model. While there exists a ‘core’ health service pathway, we suggest that further work should be done with those delivering services to understand the roles and functions that contribute but may not presently be funded.…”
