Introduction. Palliative care is aimed at maintaining and improving the quality of life of the patient. Without taking into account the psychosocial aspects, psychological rehabilitation is impossible in the conditions of a psychotraumatic situation of the disease.The aim of the study was to assess the psychoemotional state of polymorbid palliative cancer patients.Materials and methods. An observational, analytical, single-stage (cross-sectional) study was conducted, which included 74 cancer patients of a palliative profile. The patients underwent laboratory and instrumental examination. The following tests were evaluated: resilience (S. Maddy's method, D. A. Leontiev's adaptation), life-sense orientations, the level of subjective control, C. D. Spielberger, the severity of chronic pain syndrome; the value of the Charlson comorbidity index, the Karnovsky index (ECOG) was calculated.Results. The level of the comorbidity index was 3 [2; 5] points, the intensity of chronic pain syndrome-2 [2; 3] points, ECOG-2 [2; 3] points. In polymorbid cancer palliative patients, the presence of a belief in the impact of the struggle on the outcome of what is happening was revealed, however, patients are not always ready to act in a difficult situation. In the examined group, signs of dissatisfaction with their life in the present prevailed, the lack of sufficient freedom of choice, the existence of hope for recovery as a result of the actions of others, primarily doctors. The average (and in some cases high) level of situational and personal anxiety was noted. The association of the comorbidity index and the indicators of the life-meaning orientations test; the indicator of the general internality scale and the ECOG value; the glomerular filtration rate and the indicator of resilience, risk acceptance was revealed. A number of correlations between the indicators of the psychoemotional state and laboratory parameters (the level of hemoglobin, albumin, iron, C-reactive protein) were noted.Conclusion. In cancer patients with a palliative profile, signs of mental maladaptation were revealed. The average (and in some cases high) level of situational and personal anxiety was noted. The revealed number of correlations focuses on the role of chronic non-communicable diseases in aggravating the psychoemotional status of chronic polymorbid cancer palliative patients.

Purpose of the study: to assess the efficacy and safety of morphine hydrochloride in the form of 10 mg filmcoated tablets and 1 % solution for injection in cancer patients with chronic pain syndrome of strong intensity.Material and Methods. The study included 110 cancer patients with chronic pain syndrome of strong intensity. The study was conducted in compliance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration, ICH GCP, GOST R 52379-2005, as well as other Russian laws regulating the conduct of clinical trials and work with opioid analgesics. Patients were randomized at a 1:1 ratio. Group I received 10 mg film-coated morphine tablets, 1 tablet orally every 4 hours for 7 days. Group II received 1 % morphine solution for injection, intramuscularly, 4 mg every 4 hours for 7 days. A Numeric Rating Scale for Pain (NRS, 0–100 mm) was used to assess the level of pain. The safety assessment was based on the collection of data on the registration of adverse events, including opioid-associated adverse effects.Results. Enteral and parenteral morphine administration for 7 days demonstrated a statistically significant decrease in the intensity of pain syndrome in cancer patients. The use of morphine hydrochloride in tablets reduced the number of additional analgesics prescribed for cancer patients. Regarding opioid-associated adverse effects, a statistically significant difference in the incidence of constipation between two groups was observed.Conclusion. The study showed that tablets and injectable dosage forms of morphine hydrochloride were comparable in efficacy and safety profile, thus predetermining the widespread clinical use of drugs produced by the domestic manufacturer in accordance with the “pain relief ladder”, proposed by WHO.

Introduction. Effective drug therapy for cancer patients with chronic pain syndrome (CPS) of high intensity is one of the priorities of modern healthcare. Currently, non-narcotic and narcotic analgesics are used for pain relief according to a three-steps scheme. In the absence of contraindications, it is preferable to prescribe medications per os and prolonged forms, which will allow the patient to maintain selfcare and comfort.Aim. To study the pharmacokinetic properties of a drug with a prolonged mechanism of action «Morphine hydrochloride», in a film-coated tablet formof a dosage 30 mg, in cancer patients with severe CPS.Materials and methods. For the analysis of the pharmacokinetics of the studied drug after single and multiple doses of 20 patients who received 10- day analgesic therapy with the studied drug «Morphine hydrochloride», long-acting film-coated 30 mgtablets. manufacturer FSUE Moscow Endocrine Plant, Russia. Route of administration: per os. The study duration was 17 days: screening duration up to 7 days; duration of therapy up to 10 days.Results and discussion. The concentration of morphine in plasma was determined by HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry, within 12 hours after taking the study drug (1 of long-acting, film-coated tablet 30 mg). The following pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained on Day 5: T1/2 – 6.08 ± 4.37 hours and 14.46 ± 30.86 hours, Tmax – 2.5 ± 1.86 hours, Cmax – 43.91 ± 27.24 ng/ml. Values of pharmacokinetic parameters averaged over all days are presented. It was found that T1/2 for the studied drug T1/2 is 9.21 ± 14.94 hours, Tmax 2.87 ± 2.36 hours. The average maximum concentration (Cmax) on the day of the study drug was 36.52 ng/ml.Conclusion. As a result of the study of pharmacokinetics, it was found that the drug «Morphine hydrochloride», long-acting tablets film-coated with a of 30 mg was found in serum after oral administration after 15 minutes and reaches a maximum concentration in the blood in 3 hours, the half-life is on average 9 hours, the maximum concentration is 36.52 ng/ml.
