OBJECTIVE: To complete standardized management and follow-up for the cancer pain and chronic pain patients in outpatient department. METHODS: Information management platform was designed and established for cancer pain and chronic pain patients in outpatient department, including information entry, information inquiry, prompt for drug dispensing in advance, file unified management and regular scanning and removing excess medical records. The procedure of prescribing narcotic drugs for first visiting, subsequent visiting and follow-up patients was introduced. File management and prescription rationality before and after the establishment of information platform were compared. The adoption of pharmacist' s recommendation after the establishment of information platform were counted. RESULTS: Compared with before the establishment of information platform, the ratio of problematic profiles decreased from 42. 96% to 7. 06% (P<0. 05); the ratio of irrational prescription decreased from 4. 39% to 1. 19% (P<0. 05). Pharmacists provided a total of 1 542 recommendations for the patients with poor pain control and ADR. The adoption rate of the pharmaceutical recommendations was 63. 62%. CONCLUSIONS: The cancer pain and chronic pain information management platform can manage the outpatients' profile effectively and improve the rationality of the prescription. Meanwhile, the pharmacists have played an important role in the pain treatment for outpatients.

Objective To investigate the value of introvoxel incoherent motion(IVIM)using 3.0 T MRI to evaluate response to concurrent chemoradiotherapy(CCRT)in patients with advanced uterine cervix cancer. Methods From July 2015 to December 2016,63 patients with advanced(≥ⅡB)cervical cancer diagnosed by clinical and imaging study, who had completed CCRT plan in Henan Cancer Hospital, were prospectively enrolled.Pelvic MRI protocol including T1WI,T2WI,IVIM and dynamic contrasted enhanced scans were performed in each patient before CCRT and 3 weeks after starting therapy(total dose of 30 Gy), and at the end of therapy (total dose of 90 Gy, 8 weeks after therapy). The mean values of ADC, true molecular diffusion coefficient(D),pseudodiffusion coefficient(D*)and perfusion fraction(f)in each tumor at pre-therapy, in the middle of therapy and post-therapy were measured and recorded as ADC-pre, D-pre, D*-pre,f-pre;ADC-mid,D-mid,D*-mid,f-mid and ADC-post,D-post,D*-post,f-post,respectively;the change rates of these parameters during and after therapy (recorded as ΔADC-mid, ΔD-mid, ΔD*-mid, Δf-mid;ΔADC-post, ΔD-post, ΔD*-post, Δf-post) were also calculated. Patients were classified into response group and non-response group,according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors after CCRT.MRI imaging study was performed in each patient within 1 month after CCRT to follow up,and tumor regression rate was calculated.The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare differences of parameters and their change rates between response group and non-response group. Spearman correlation analysis was performed to assess relationships between parameters, parameter change rates and tumor regression rate. Logistic regression model was applied to find potential ADC values for predicting therapeutic response. ROC was used to analyze efficacy of ADC values for evaluating therapeutic response in advanced uterine cervix cancer after CCRT. Results The mean value of tumor maximum diameter before and after therapy was (47.5 ± 12.9) and(12.8 ± 10.0)mm,tumor regression rate was(66.7 ± 33.6)%.Forty-eight patients were in the response group and 15 in the non-response group.The mean value of ADC-pre,D-pre,D*-pre and f-pre was 0.74(0.43, 1.14)×10-3,0.58(0.33,0.91)×10-3,12.12(2.30,21.4)×10-3mm2/s,9.65%(4.45%,13.89%),respectively.Tumor regression rate had positive correlation with ADC-pre and D-pre (r=0.773,0.840;P<0.05). Responders had increased ADC-pre, D-pre values than non-responders, which had statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Responders had increased ADC-mid, D-mid and f-mid values than non-responders, which had statistically significant difference (P<0.05), tumor regression rate had positive correlation with ADC-mid, D-mid and f-mid (r=0.808,0.834,0.563;P<0.05). Responders had increased ADC-post, D-post and f-post values than non-responders,which had statistically significant difference(P<0.05),tumor regression rate had positive correlation with ADC-post and D-post (r=0.799, 0.829;P<0.05).Tumor regression rate had positive correlation with ΔADC-mid,ΔD-mid,Δf-mid(r=0.526,0.573,0.454;P<0.05)and with ΔADC-post,ΔD-post, Δf-post (r=0.541, 0.555, 0.388;P<0.05). Responders had increased ΔADC-mid, ΔD-mid, Δf-mid and ΔADC-post, ΔD-post, Δf-post, which had statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed only ADC-pre and D-post could be independent factors to predict therapeutic response in advanced uterine cervix cancer after CCRT,values of B,Wald,odds ratio and P was 22.488,8.431,1.429, 0.004 and 16.542,8.517,1.779,0.004.ROC analysis showed the area under the curve(AUC)of ADC-pre, D-pre,ΔADC-mid,ΔD-mid,Δf-mid,ΔADC-post,ΔD-post and Δf-post for predicting therapeutic response in advanced uterine cervix cancer after CCRT were 0.890,0.926,0.942,0.851,0.803,0.929,0.951 and 0.906, respectively. Conclusion The IVIM parameters before and during CCRT process and their changes are valuable for predicting and evaluating therapeutic response in advanced uterine cervix cancer after CCRT, with high clinical practice value.

ObjectiveTo understand the experience, knowledge and attitudes of e-cigarette users in Shanghai, and to provide evidence for the development of intervention programs for e-cigarette use. MethodsThe Respondent-Driven Sampling (RDS) method was used to recruit 40 e-cigarette users for qualitative interviews from November 2020 to February 2021. NVivo (11.0) software was used to code interview records, and the thematic pattern and relationship analysis were conducted. ResultsIn terms of the reasons and user experience of e-cigarette use, most respondents used e-cigarettes for the first time after recommendation of friends; The reasons for the current use of e-cigarettes focus on the subjective feelings generated by the use of e-cigarettes (easy to use, replacing traditional tobacco, and having many flavors). Compared with traditional tobacco use, respondents said e-cigarettes tasted good and had no physical impact (they could be used all the time without making them uncomfortable). In terms of the awareness of e-cigarette use related knowledge, the respondents' opinions on whether e-cigarettes caused health risks were mostly based on their own experience of using them, and they said it was difficult to identify real information online. As for whether they were interested in relevant knowledge, most respondents said they wanted to learn about the professional knowledge related to e-cigarettes. Regarding the attitude related to the use of e-cigarettes, most respondents believed that e-cigarettes are addictive, e-cigarettes are not a safe alternative to traditional tobacco, ande-cigarettes couldn't help them quit smoking. Three out of ten respondents said they supported including e-cigarettes in the Regulation on Smoking Control in Public. ConclusionThere are certain characteristics of e-cigarette users' feelings, related knowledge and attitude towards e-cigarette use that should be targeted to carry out publicity, education and intervention.
