Objective:To investigate the role of heat shock transcription factor 1(HSF1)in hepatitis B virus X protein(HBx)-driven migration and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)cells,and to preliminarily explore the mechanism of HSF1 mediating HBx-driven HCC progression.Methods:4D label-free quantitative proteomics and Western blot were used to analyze the effect of HBx on HSF1 expression.HBx was overexpressed in the HCC cell lines Huh7 and MHCC97H,and its impact on the mRNA and protein levels and stability of HSF1 was assessed by RT-PCR and Western blot.The Cancer Genome Atlas database was used to analyze the expres-sion of HSF1 in hepatitis B virus(HBV)-associated HCC tissues and its relationship with tumor stage/grade and patient prognosis,and Western blot was used to measure the expression of HSF1 in HBV-associated HCC tissues.HBx was overexpressed in HCC cells,fol-lowed by HSF1 knockdown or cell treatment with the HSF1 inhibitor KRIBB11,and Transwell migration and invasion assay,scratch as-say,and F-actin staining experiment were performed to analyze the role of HSF1 in HBx-driven HCC cell migration and invasion.GEO and HCMDB datasets were used to identify the downstream target of HSF1,and the role of downstream target c-Myb in HSF1-me-diated HBx-driven HCC progression.Results:HBx upregulated HSF1 protein levels without significantly affecting its mRNA expres-sion,through enhancing HSF1 protein stability.HSF1 was highly ex-pressed in HBV-associated HCC tissues,and its elevated expres-sion correlated with tumor stage/grade and poor prognosis.HBx overexpression significantly promoted the migration,invasion,wound-healing capacity,and pseudopodia formation capacity of Huh7 and MHCC97H cells,while HSF1 knockdown or KRIBB11 treatment significantly attenuated the HBx-driven migration and in-vasion of HCC.HSF1 promoted the expression of the metastasis-associated protein c-Myb,and c-Myb overexpression in HSF1-knock-down HCC cells restored the promotive effect of HBx on HCC cell migration and invasion.Conclusion:HBx enhances HSF1 protein stability to promote its expression.Upregulation of c-Myb by HSF1 plays a pivotal role in HBx-driven HCC cell migration and inva-sion.Targeting HSF1 may help to delay the progression of HBV-associated HCC.

Objective To analyze the effect of hypoproteinemia on the use of cefoperazone sulbactam in patients, and provide references for the rational use of cefoperazone sulbactam in clinical practice. Methods Clinical data of patients with cefoperazone blood concentration monitoring in our hospital from July 2021 to March 2022 were collected, and divided into low albumin group and normal albumin group according to different albumin concentration. Statistical analysis were conducted based on gender, age, laboratory examination, cefoperazone valley concentration and clinical efficacy of the two groups. Results Age, gender, inflammation and liver function of two groups had not shown statistical difference （P>0.05）. Low protein group had significantly higher levels of creatinine than those in group with normal albumin （P<0.05）. The trough concentration of cefoperazone in the low protein group was （46.29±36.94） mg/L, and that in the normal albumin group was （38.18±33.79） mg/L. Among the low protein patient group, the plasma concentration of cefoperazone in those treated with human albumin was significantly higher than that in the patients without human albumin treatment （P<0.05）. Comparison of the clinical efficacy of the two groups revealed that the low protein group had a lower clinical response rate （P<0.05）. Conclusion Supplementation of human serum albumin in patients with hypoproteinemia could increase the plasma concentration of cefoperazone, and correcting hypoproteinemia could be helpful for anti-infection treatment.

Objective To provide ideas and reference for the anti-infective drug treatment and pharmaceutical care of brain abscess caused by Nocardia brasiliensis.Methods Clinical pharmacists participated in the treatment of a patient with brain abscess caused by Nocardia brasiliensis.According to the patient's medical history,clinical symptoms,and test results,clinical pharmacists refer to the guidelines assisted physician to formulate the anti-infection treatment scheme of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole(SMZ-TMP)combined with imipenem/cilastatin and amikacin,and the pharmaceutical care.The dosage of amikacin was adjusted through therapeutic drug monitoring(TDM),and promptly identified adverse reactions such as myelosuppression caused by linezolid and SMZ-TMP.Results The physician adopted the pharmacist's suggestion,and the patient was discharged after treatment.Conclusion The anti-infection regimen for brain abscess caused by Nocardia brasiliensis depends on the drug sensitivity data of Nocardia,the severity of infection,the immune state of the host,and the PK/PD characteristics and adverse reactions of antibiotics.By participating in the pharmaceutical care of brain abscess caused by Nocardia brasiliensis,clinical pharmacists assisted physicians in optimizing drug treatment plans,ensuring the safety and effectiveness of clinical medication.

Objective To study the significance of S100A12 in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP).Methods 139 patients with AP were divided into the severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and moderate acute pancreatitis (MAP) groups.61 patients in the SAP group were further subdivided into the infection group (n =32) and the non-infection group (n =29) based on the presence/absence of secondary infection.Serum samples of these patients were collected on the 3rd,7th and 14th day after treatment.ELISA was used to determinate the S100A12,IL-1 β and IL-6 levels in serum.The area under ROC was used to evaluate the predictive role of S100A12,IL-1β,IL-6 and CRP for infection in patients with SAP.Results The S100A12,IL-1β and IL-6 levels in SAP patients were markedly higher than those in MAP patients and normal controls on the 3rd,7th and 14th day after treatment.These levels decreased toward normal range in MAP patients.They were persistently high in SAP patients after treatment for 7 days,but decreased significantly after 14 days.The serum levels of S100A12,IL-1β,IL-6 and CRP were significantly higher in the infection subgroup(647.5 ± 300.1,155.9 ±48.5,95.7 ±25.5,166.8 ±53.0) than the non-infection subgroup(249.0 ± 176.3,108.0 ± 46.1,64.0 ±38.5,117.9 ±34.9) (P ＜0.05).The sensitivity and specificity of serum S100A12 in diagnosing secondary infection in SAP were 96.8％ and 83.3％,which were higher than those of serum IL-1β,IL-6 or CRP.Conclusion The level of S100A12 was associated with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in AP,and it may serve as a new marker in early diagnosis of SAP and in secondary infection in SAP.
