    Abstract Background: Suboptimal cancer pain management is a worldwide problem. We examined whether an educational program on cancer pain management implemented during training could benefit primary care physicians.
    Methods: We enrolled all the primary care physicians who visited the oncology ward at a medical center for the first time. Educational classes on cancer pain management were conducted. The participants' abilities in cancer pain management were measured in a pretest before the classes and approximately 2 weeks later in the first posttest. The second posttest was conducted on participants who visited the oncology ward again. All 3 tests had the same set of questions and were scored on a scale of 0 to 100.
    Results: In total, 247 participants were enrolled. Less than 10% of them considered their previous education on cancer pain management adequate. The test scores increased significantly from the pretest to the first posttest (mean 65.6 vs. 89.7, p < 0.001). The participants' self-reported cancer pain management abilities, on a scale of 0 to 100, also improved significantly (mean 57.8 vs. 75.5, p < 0.001). The pretest scores were not associated with the participants' self-reported abilities or their perceptions about the adequacy of previous training on cancer pain management. The mean score on the second posttest, conducted 234.5 days after the program, on an average, remained similar to that of the first posttest (p = 0.254).
    Conclusion: A specific educational program on cancer pain management provided to primary care physicians improved their pain management skills substantially, with persistent effects.

    Abstract Return to work (RTW) has always been a determinant functional outcome in patients with mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI). However, the quality of long-term RTW was still unclear. This study thus aims to examine long-term work quality and to reveal its associating factors. A total of 110 patients with MTBI was prospectively recruited. Post-concussion symptoms (PCS) and RTW were evaluated by the Checklist of Post-Concussion Symptoms (CPCS) and Work Quality Index (WQI) respectively at one-week and long-term evaluation (

    Abstract Background One of the major barriers to adequate cancer pain management in Taiwan is the limited prescription options regarding strong opioids. Internationally recommended strong opioids, including oxycodone and hydromorphone, were not introduced in Taiwan until late 2014. We analysed the patterns in opioid prescription for cancer pain management, after the introduction of new opioid options.Methods All inpatient and outpatient clinical visits from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2017, with the diagnosis of cancer and the analgesic prescriptions were collected from the database of National Health Insurance, Taiwan, and analysed. Opioids were grouped into strong opioids, weak opioids, and guideline non-recommended opioids.Findings A total of 1, 292, 905 patients with cancers were included. Approximately 50% of patients used analgesics, 50% of which were opioids; the proportions were stable during the study period. The annual cumulative opioid use per patient (defined daily dose, DDD) significantly decreased from 36•41±102•59 (Mean±SD) in 2012 to 32•42±100•99 in 2017 (p < •001). The annual cumulative strong opioid use per patient increased significantly from 17•54±89•23 in 2012 to 19•28±94•97 in 2017 (+9•90%, p < •001). In parallel, the annual cumulative weak opioids use per patient decreased from 18•64±40•81 in 2012 to 13•04±26•79 in 2017 (−30•04%, p < •001). Among extended-release strong opioids, the use of transdermal fentanyl significantly decreased after oxycodone and hydromorphone were introduced (p < •001).Interpretation Increased therapeutic options in strong opioid prescriptions led opioid prescription patterns to evolve towards international cancer pain management guidelines. In addition, increased accessibility to a wider range of different strong opioids may facilitate more efficient opioid titration and rotation - and thus decrease, not increase, the opioid usage.Funding This study was supported by Ministry of Science and Technology, Taiwan (MOST-106-2314-B-002-213 and ...

    Abstract Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major challenge in cancer chemotherapy. Nanoparticles as drug delivery systems (DDSs) show promise for MDR cancer therapy. However, current DDSs require sophisticated design and construction based on xenogeneic nanomaterials, evoking feasibility and biocompatibility concerns. Herein, a simple but versatile biological DDS (bDDS) composed of human red blood cell (RBC)-derived vesicles (RDVs) with excellent biocompatibility was surface-linked with doxorubicin (Dox) using glutaraldehyde (glu) to form Dox-gluRDVs that remarkably suppressed MDR in uterine sarcoma through a lysosomal-mitochondrial axis-dependent cell death mechanism. Dox-gluRDVs can efficiently deliver and accumulate Dox in lysosomes, bypassing drug efflux transporters and facilitating cellular uptake and retention of Dox in drug-resistant MES-SA/Dx5 cells. The transfer of lysosomal calcium to the mitochondria during mitochondria-lysosome contact due to lysosomal Dox accumulation may result in mitochondrial ROS overproduction, mitochondrial membrane potential loss, and activation of apoptotic signaling for the superior anti-MDR activity of Dox-gluRDVs in vitro and in vivo. This work highlights the great promise of RDVs to serve as a bDDS of Dox to overcome MDR cancers but also opens up a reliable strategy for lysosomal-mitochondrial axis-dependent cell death for fighting against other inoperable cancers.
