- Region Jönköping County (RJC) in Sweden is a healthcare system that is characterised by sustainable work with quality in healthcare and long-term system-wide improvement. This article describes important factors behind the improvement work in RJC, and how the improvement methods and initiatives have been adopted also in mental healthcare. For example, patients otherwise eligible for admission to a psychiatric department were treated at home after introduction of home treatment teams. Patient satisfaction was high and the number of visits to the emergency department, hospital admissions and hospital stay decreased.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Gene expression of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) and protein level of secretory PLA2 group X (sPLA2-X) are upregulated in human colorectal cancer and provide cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) with arachidonic acid, resulting in increased levels of PGE2. Mutated ras-genes are suggested to be involved in the regulatory pathway of cPLA2 in lung cancer cells. We analysed the gene expression of cPLA2 and sPLA2-X in 42 and 38 primary colorectal tumours, respectively, with and without K-ras mutations. We found an up-regulation of cPLA2 mRNA but the induction in tumour tissues does not correlate with Ras-gene mutations. Moreover, our results cannot consistently reflect an overexpression of sPLA2-X gene in colorectal cancer tissues.
