[Analysis the Selection of Opioid Analgesics with Mild and Moderate Cancer Pain Patients for Opioid Naïve].

In 2018, the World Health Organization revised its cancer pain therapy, abolishing the three-step pain relief ladder and recommending the use of opioid analgesics(OA)according to the pain intensity. Of opioid naive patients who were admitted to Chibaken Saiseikai Narashino Hospital from July 2015 to June 2017, treatment with weak OA was initiated in 13 patients(WOA group)and low-dose strong OA in 12 patients(SOA group). The numerical rating scale values immediately before the start of OA and 3, 7 and 14 days later were not significantly different between the 2 groups.

Novel mechanism responsible for high-level macrolide resistance in .

Background: High-level macrolide-resistant strains have been isolated; however, the underlying mechanism has not been well elucidated. We investigated the role of mutations in the 23S rRNA gene and the L4 and L22 ribosomal proteins using spontaneous erythromycin-resistant mutants and transformants.

Materials And Methods: The erythromycin-susceptible ATCC25238 and clinical isolate Mc19 were used as parental strains.
