Cancer pain is one of the most frequent and distressing symptoms associated with cancer and has a serious impact on the QOL of patients. However, inadequate pain treatment has also been reported in outpatients with cancer pain. The aims of this study were (1) to evaluate the relationship between pain intensity using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and QOL scores using the Japanese version of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (QOL Questionnaire Core 15 for Palliative Care (QLQ-C15-PAL)), and (2) to investigate their association with various pain patterns, especially with baseline and breakthrough pain. Forty outpatients who were receiving opioid therapy and obtained informed consent participated. We collected a total of 222 pharmacist consultations during the study period. Global QOL scores and pain scores (PA) in the QLQ-C15-PAL (PA score, 0-100) at the first visit were significantly correlated with worst pain intensity. In addition, the scores for the worst pain were significantly correlated with not only physical functioning scores but also with emotional functioning scores. The correlations between the worst pain NRS and PA scores were positive. Specifically, patients tended to report large variability of NRS scores when the PA score was less than 40 and also when they exhibited pain patterns with "baseline and breakthrough cancer pain in the same day" or "baseline pain throughout the day." Reducing the worst pain NRS and relieving breakthrough pain appear to be important measures to improve the QOL of outpatients receiving opioid therapy for cancer pain.Established guidelines have recommended a number of methods based on in vitro data to assess the CYP3A induction risk of new chemical entities in clinical practice. In this study, we evaluated the predictability of various assessment methods. We collected in vitro parameters from a variety of literature that includes data on 19 batches of hepatocytes. Clinical CYP3A induction was predicted using 3 direct approaches-the fold-change, basic model, and mechanistic static models-as well as 5 correlation approaches, including the relative induction score (RIS) and the relative factor (RF) method. These predictions were then compared with data from 30 clinical inductions. Collected in vitro parameters varied greatly between hepatocyte batches. Direct assessment methods using fixed cut-off values provided a lot of false predictions due to hepatocyte variability, which can overlook induction risk or lead to needless clinical drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies. On the other hand, correlation methods with the cut-off values set for each batch of hepatocytes accurately predicted the induction risk. Among these, the AUCu/inducer concentrations for half the maximum induction (EC50) and the RF methods which use the area under the curve (AUC) of the unbound inducers for calculating induction potential showed an especially good correlation with clinical induction. Correlation methods were better at predicting clinical induction risk than the other methods, regardless of hepatocyte variability. The AUCu/EC50 and the RF methods in particular had a small number of false predictions, and can therefore be used to assess induction risk along with the other correlation methods recommended in guidelines.The neuroprotective effects of heme oxygenase (HO) have been well investigated. The potential effects of exogenous supplementation of biliverdin (BVD), one of the main products catalyzed by HO, on neurobehaviors are still largely unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of BVD treatment on depression, anxiety, and memory in adult mice. Mice were injected with BVD through tail vein daily for a total 5 d, and depression- and anxiety-like behaviors were conducted by using open field test (OFT), novelty suppressed feeding (NSF), forced swimming test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST) since the third day of BVD administration. Novel object recognition (NOR) paradigm was used for memory formation test. After the final test, serum and hippocampal levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) of mice were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results showed that BVD treatment at low dose (2 mg/kg) induced depression-like behaviors, and high dose (8 mg/kg) BVD injection increased anxiety-like behaviors and impaired memory formation in mice. ELISA data showed that BVD treatment significantly increased hippocampal IL-6 and TNF-α level while only decreasing serum IL-6 level of mice. The present data suggest that exogenous BVD treatment induced depression- and anxiety-like phenotypes, which may be related to inflammatory factors, providing BVD may be a potential target for the prevention of mental disorders.Chemotherapy regimen management is one of the most important oncology pharmacy practices, because chemotherapy is conducted according to the registered regimens. In this study, we evaluated the pharmaceutical practice that assumes the initial confirmation of chemotherapy regimens and the quality of practice sharing between oncology-specialized and non-specialized pharmacists in regimen management committee. Pharmacists initially confirmed the applied regimen prescribed by physicians regarding chemotherapeutic agents and prophylactic supportive care medicines. Following confirmation, the regimens were reviewed by the Hokkaido University Hospital Regimen Management Committee. A total of 233 regimens were reviewed by the committee over three years. In total, 110 pharmaceutical inquiries were conducted, 45% of inquiries were concerning chemotherapeutic agents, of which approximately half were regarding supportive care medicines. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/elacridar-gf120918.html Most inquiries were regarding premedication, followed by those on administration time, solvent of infusion medicines, and dosage. Correction was performed for 84.5% of inquiries. There was no significant difference in inquiry rates between practice and trial regimens. We have entrusted the first basic regimen review according to the checklist, creation of the chemotherapy plan document, and registry of the adopted regimens in the ordering system from oncology-certified pharmacists to non-certified pharmacists. Basic regimen review was well conducted by a non-certified pharmacist, and a more advanced review was additionally performed by certified pharmacists. In conclusion, we demonstrated the utility of pharmaceutical confirmation in a chemotherapeutic regimen review, suitable review coverage, and quality practice sharing between oncology-certified and non-certified pharmacists, which is one of the recommended methods in chemotherapy regimen review.
