Abstract

BackgroundCancer has become increasingly prevalent in China over the past few decades. Among the factors that determine the quality of life of cancer patients, pain has commonly been recognized as a most critical one; it could also lead to the ineffective treatment of the cancer. Driven by the need for better pain management for cancer patients, our research team developed a mobile-based Intelligent Pain Management System (IPMS). ObjectiveOur objective was to design, develop, and test the IPMS to facilitate real-time pain recording and timely intervention among cancer patients with pain. The system’s usability, feasibility, compliance, and satisfaction were also assessed. MethodsA sample of 46 patients with cancer pain symptoms were recruited at the Oncology Center of Xinhua Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Chongming Branch (hereinafter referred to as “the Oncology Center”). In a pretest, participants completed a pain management knowledge questionnaire and were evaluated using the baseline cancer pain assessment and Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) evaluation. The participants were then randomly assigned into two groups (the trial group and the control group). After a 14-day trial period, another round of cancer pain assessment, KPS evaluation and pain management knowledge assessment were repeated. In the trial group, the data were fully automatically collected by the IPMS. In the control group, the data were collected using conventional methods, such as phone interviews or door-to-door visits by physicians. The participants were also asked to complete a satisfaction questionnaire on the use of the IPMS. ResultsAll participants successfully completed the trial. First, the feasibility of IPMS by observing the number of daily pain assessments recorded among patients was assessed. Second, the users’ satisfaction, effectiveness of pain management, and changes in the quality of their lives were evaluated. All the participants gave high satisfaction score after they used IMPS. Both groups reported similar pain scores and KPS scores at the baseline. At the end of the trial, the mean pain score of the trial group was significantly lower than of the control group (P

Abstract

The effects of Te and Sb doping on the structure and conductivity of an Li0.25La0.25NbO₃ (LLNO) solid electrolyte were comparatively studied. Te and Sb doped LLNO with a defect perovskite structure was prepared via a solid-state reaction method. The moderate doping of Te and Sb improves the conductivity of LLNO. The grain conductivity and grain boundary conductivity of the LLNO ceramics was distinguished through the equivalent circuit fitting method. With the same doping amount, the Te doped samples exhibit higher grain and total conductivity than the Sb doped samples. Li0.25La0.25Nb0.95Te0.05O₃ has the highest total conductivity of 4.04×10-5 S.cm-1 at 30 °C, which is two times higher than the pure LLNO solid electrolyte. The DC-polarisation characterisation indicated that Li0.25La0.25Nb0.95Te0.05O₃ and Li0.25La0.25Nb0.95Sb0.05O₃ have an extremely low electronic conductivity. The LLNO ceramics doped with Te and Sb are still solid electrolyte materials with lithium-ion transportation properties.
