Our aim was to explore the impact of therapeutic alliance on analgesic outcomes in a real-world interdisciplinary pain unit (PU). A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on outpatients (<i>n</i> = 69) using opioids on a long-term basis for the treatment of chronic non-cancer pain, where clinical pharmacologists and pharmacists advised patients about their opioid treatment. Responses to the patient-doctor relationship questionnaire (PDRQ), sociodemographic and clinical information (pain level, quality of life and hospital use) were collected, whereas pharmacology data (analgesic prescription, adverse events, and compliance) were obtained from electronic health records. Patients were predominantly middle-aged (75 % women, 72 % retired), experiencing moderate pain (VAS 40-70 mm) on average, and under a high morphine equianalgesic dosage (95 ± 88 mg per day, mainly tapentadol or fentanyl). Patients with better PDRQ outcomes, and therefore better therapeutic alliance, showed lower pain intensity than patients with worse PDRQ outcomes (pain intensity: high scores 60 ± 47 mm and medium scores 60 ± 45 mm <i>vs</i>. low scores 80 ± 75 mm, <i>p</i> < 0.01). Along with this, pain intensity was lower when patients affirmed that, thanks to the health-care providers, they \"gained new insight\", \"felt better\", or \"felt content with their doctor's treatment\". What´s more, patients who affirmed \"I benefit from the treatment\" experienced increased pain relief (benefit 40 ± 30 <i>vs</i>. non-benefit 19 ± 26 mm, <i>p</i> = 0.010) and improved quality of life (benefit 33 ± 25 <i>vs</i>. non-benefit 18 ± 16 mm, <i>p</i> = 0.031). However, there was a percentage of patients who did not fully understand the provided information, which is something to be taken into account to improve in clinical routine. Therapeutic alliance supported by pharmacist experts on pain management can be an effective strategy to improve analgesic outcomes. Further efforts are needed to improve communication strategies for pain management. Future directions of research should include the analysis of the role of the pharmacist in poly-professional consultations as related to the advice of patients about their medication, and the mutual trust with the patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":7034,"journal":{"name":"Acta Pharmaceutica","volume":"72 4","pages":"529-545"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9600793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using miR-140-5p transfected breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231, several <i>in vitro</i> experiments were performed and described in this paper. They consist of the cell proliferation assay, wound healing assay, transwell assay, colony formation assays and qRTPCR. Expression levels of target proteins were determined using Western blotting. In addition, experiments on animal models were performed to study the possible role of miR-140-5p in tumorigenesis of breast carcinoma cells. The induction of experimental breast tumor in mice model was achieved through the incorporation of MDA-MB-231 tumor cells subcutaneously into the middle left side of the mice. The results showed that miR-140-5p up-regulation significantly suppresses proliferation, cellular invasion and migration of breast carcinoma cells. Furthermore, miR-140-5p up-regulation stops breast cancer cells at G0/G1 phase. The results of the animal model indicated that up-regulation of miR-140-5p suppresses its tumorigenic ability. Moreover, we also found that miR-140-5p up-regulation reduces the phosphorylation level of STAT3, p65, and AKT. In addition, miR-140-5p overexpression significantly decreases CDK2 expression while increasing E-cadherin expression level.

Compared to the vitamin K antagonists, DOACs are superior in terms of onset of action, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics properties and fixed daily dose without the need for routine coagulation monitoring. Despite these advantages, there are clinical conditions in which laboratory measurement of DOACs should be performed.

Therefore, specific quantitative methods (LC-MS/MS as a gold standard method for all DOACs, coagulometric and chromogenic assays for dabigatran, and chromogenic anti-Xa assays with drug-specific calibrators for inhibitors of FXa) should only be used for determination of DOACs concentration.
