OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Hydromorphone hydrochloride extended-release tablets （HHERT） in the treatment of chronic cancer-related pain （CCRP） in real-world settings， and to explore the effectiveness and reasons for rotation patterns between HHERT and other opioid drugs （OOD）. METHODS Data were retrospectively collected from 142 CCRP patients receiving strong opioid therapy at Fujian Cancer Hospital from January to December 2025. Patients were divided into the continuous HHERT group and the drug rotation group based on medication status. The efficacy and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. The drug rotation group was further subdivided into the OOD-HHERT group （rotated from OOD to HHERT） and the HHERT-OOD group （rotated from HHERT to OOD）. Dose conversion coefficients were compared with guideline recommendations， and pain relief status， rotation types and reasons for rotation were analyzed between the two subgroups. RESULTS In the 142 CCRP patients， 107 achieved pain relief， with an overall response rate of 75.35%. After 4 weeks of treatment， there was a statistically significant difference in efficacy between the continuous HHERT group and the drug rotation group （ P ＜0.05）. A total of 110 adverse reactions occurred in 86 patients， with an overall adverse reactions of 77.46%， there were no statistically significant differences between the continuos HHERT group and the drug rotation group in the incidence of drug adverse reactions （ P ＞0.05）. 99 experienced opioid rotation， with an overall rotation rate of 69.72%. The pain relief rates after rotation were 74.36% in the HHERT-OOD group and 73.33% in the OOD-HHERT group， indicating comparable efficacy （ P ＞0.05）. In 31 patients （31.31%）， the dose conversion coefficients did not conform to guideline recommendations. There was a significant difference in the distribution of rotation types between the two groups （ P ＜0.05）： the HHERT-OOD group was dominated by route of administration changes， while the OOD-HHERT group was dominated by unchanged route of administration. The proportion of rotations due to restricted route of administration and drug supply shortage was significantly higher in the HHERT-OOD group than that in the OOD-HHERT group （ P ＜0.05）； the proportion of rotations due to inadequate analgesic effect was significantly higher in the OOD-HHERT group than that in the HHERT-OOD group （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS In real-world settings， both HHERT and opioid rotation strategies demonstrate favorable analgesic effects in the treatment of CCRP. Rotation patterns are primarily driven by practical factors such as inadequate analgesic effect and restricted route of administration. It is necessary to standardize dose conversion standards and indications for opioid rotation to improve individualized cancer pain management.

Objective:To study the comprehensive surgical treatment of brucellosis with chest wall cysts as the main manifestation.Methods:Retrospective analysis was made on the general information epidemiological characteristics, clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, imaging examinations, treatment and outcomes of five patients with brucellosis mainly manifested by chest wall cysts admitted to the 948 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army from July 2019 to June 2022.Results:Among the 5 patients, there were 4 males and 1 female, aged between 23 and 64 years old, with a clear history of contact with cattle and sheep. The main clinical manifestation was painless cystic masses on the chest wall. Both the serum tiger red plate agglutination test (RBPT) and the test tube agglutination test (SAT) were positive. Four cases were infected with Brucella and one case was infected with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (considered as Brucella infection based on the overall condition). All patients exhibited abnormal chest wall signals (manifesting as hypointense on T1-weighted imaging and hyperintense on T2-weighted imaging) on magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), and were ultimately diagnosed with brucellosis presenting predominantly as chest wall cysts. After complete removal of the chest wall cyst through surgery, a combination treatment of rifampicin capsules and doxycycline hyclate tablets was given for 6 weeks. There were no significant adverse reactions and the wound healed in one stage. During the postoperative follow-up period of 11 - 40 months, MRI reexamination demonstrated no evidence of chest wall cyst recurrence, and all SAT results were negative. Conclusions:Patients with brucellosis presenting as chest wall cysts are clinically rare and lack specific symptoms. Surgical resection of the affected lesion combined with early, standardized, combined, and full course antimicrobial therapy results in a good prognosis for the patient.

Objective To investigate the effect of extracellular heat shock protein(HSP)22 on Toll-like receptor(TLR)4/nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)signaling pathway in oxidative-low-density lipoprotein(ox-LDL)-induced inflammatory damage in coronary endothelial cells(HCAECs).Methods HCAECs were cul-tured in vitro and pretreated with ox-LDL to establish a model of high-lipid-induced endothelial cell injury.Re-combinant human HSP22(rhHSP22)was exogenously treated.The effects of rhHSP22 on the expression of inflammation-related proteins such as interleukin(IL)-8,vascular cell adhesion molecule(VCAM)-1 and NF-κB in endothelial cells and endothelial cell apoptosis were observed.The relationship between HSP22 and TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway was investigated under the action of TLR4 inhibitor E5564.Western blot was used to detect the expression of IL-8,VACM-1 and NF-κB proteins,and flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis of endothelial cells in each group.Results Compared with the CNT group,the relative expression levels of IL-8,VACM-1 and NF-κB protein in the rhHSP22 group,rhHSP22+ox-LDL group,rhHSP22+E5564 group and rhHSP22+E5564+ox-LDL group were significantly increased,and the differences were sta-tistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with the rhHSP22 group,the relative expression levels of IL-8,VACM-1 and NF-κB protein in the rhHSP22+ox-LDL group were significantly increased,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with the rhHSP22+ox-LDL group,the relative expression levels of IL-8 and VACM-1 in the rhHSP22+E5564+ox-LDL group were decreased,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with the CNT group,the apoptosis rate in the rhHSP22 group,rhHSP22+ox-LDL group and rhHSP22+E5564+ox-LDL group was significantly increased,and the differ-ence was statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with the rhHSP22 group,the apoptosis rate in the rhHSP22+ox-LDL group was increased,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with the rhHSP22+ox-LDL group,the apoptosis rate in the rhHSP22+E5564+ox-LDL group was de-creased,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion In ox-LDL-induced inflamma-tory damage of HCAECs,extracellular HSP22 induces the expression of IL-8,VACM-1 and NF-κB proteins by activating the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway,and promotes endothelial cell apoptosis.

Objective To analyze the current application status,research hotspots and develop-ment trends of sedation strategies from both domestic and international perspectives in mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit(ICU).Methods Relevant literature on the application of sedation strategies in mechanically ventilated patients from 2014 to 2024 was retrieved from data-bases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),Wanfang and Web of Science.Visual analysis of publication volume and keywords was conducted using CiteSpace 6.2.R3 software.Results A total of 475 Chinese-language articles and 405 English-language articles were included.Significant differences were observed in publication volume between domestic and international re-search,with early domestic activity followed by a decline,while international research had demonstra-ted robust and sustained growth over the past five years.International studies primarily emphasized protocol-driven sedation processes and standardized strategies,whereas domestic research focused on optimizing the concept of comfort-oriented sedation management and exploring postoperative sedation strategies.Analysis of research hotspots revealed that precise pharmacological regulation,the development of disease-specific sedation strategies,and the establishment of multidisciplinary collaborative protocols were key areas of focus in sedation strategies for ICU mechanically ventilated patients.Conclusion Future research should prioritize shortening the update cycle of clinical guidelines,enhancing the transla-tion of evidence-based practices into clinical settings,establishing clear application standards for disease-specific sedation strategies,improving multicenter collaborative research capabilities,and developing artificial intelligence-based sedation monitoring technologies.
