RESUMEN
Purpose@#Four and a half LIM protein 1 (FHL1) is involved in breast cancer (BC) development, but the regulatory mechanism involved remain unclear. In the present study, we examined the role of FHL1 in BC development. @*Methods@#The expression of FHL1, miR-183-5p, and miR-96-5p in BC tissues was analyzed using StarBase analysis. FHL1 expression in BC tissues, a normal human breast epithelial cell line, and BC cell lines was detected using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The relationship between FHL1 and miR-183-5p/miR-96-5p was analyzed via Pearson's rank correlation, TargetScan, and a dual-luciferase reporter assay. BT549 and MDA-MB-231 cells were transfected with either FHL1 and miR-183-5p mimics, or siFHL1 and a miR-183-5p inhibitor, respectively. The viability, colony number, migration, invasion, and tube length of BT549 and MDA-MB-231 cells were examined using cell counting kit-8, colony formation, wound-healing, Transwell, and tube formation assays, respectively. The levels of FHL1, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), p53, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and vimentin were quantified using western blotting and qRT-PCR. @*Results@#FHL1 expression was downregulated in BC tissues and cells, whereas miR-183-5p and miR-96-5p were upregulated in BC tissues (negative correlation with FHL1 expression).FHL1 overexpression inhibited the viability, colony number, migration, and invasion of BC cells and the expression of VEGF, N-cadherin, and vimentin, and increased the expression of FHL1, p53, and E-cadherin in BT549 cells. Furthermore, a miR-183-5p mimic reversed these effects of FHL1 overexpression, whereas FHL1 silencing caused opposite results to those observed in MDA-MB-231 cells; however, this was reversed by a miR-183-5p inhibitor. @*Conclusion@#Our study suggests that miR-183-5p promotes cell proliferation, metastasis, and angiogenesis by negatively regulating FHL1 in BC.

RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE：To establish th e method for the determination of related substances in fidaxomicin raw material. METHODS：The detection ability of NP-HPLC-UV ，RP-HPLC-ELSD and RP-HPLC-UV systems for the related substances in fidamycin raw material was investigated and the best chromatographic system was selected . The HPLC detection method for the related substances was established. The detection was performed on Agilent Eclipse XDB C 18 column with mobile phase A consisted of 0.2％ triethylamine buffer solution （pH 3.8）-acetonitrile（55∶45，V/V），mobile phase B consisted of 0.2％ triethylamine buffer solution（pH 3.8）-acetonitrile（20∶80，V/V）at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min（gradient elution ）；the detection wavelength was set at 230 nm，and column temperature was 35 ℃；the sample size was 10 µL. Calculation of the content of related substances was principal component self-control method without correction factor. RESULTS ：The impurities C and F could not be separated effectively in NP-HPLC-UV system. In RP-HPLC-ELSD system ，only impurities C ，D，E and F could be detected. In RP-HPLC-UV system ，11 impurities could be detected. In the study of methodology ，the linear ranges were 0.5-20.0 μg/mL for fidaxomicin（R2＝0.999 9）；the LOD was 0.05 ng，LOQ was 0.15 ng；RSDs of reproducibility and intermediate precision tests were less than 2.0％（n＝6）；average recovery was 98.4％（RSD＝3.6％，n＝9）. The sum of impurities in 3 batches of raw materials were 0.53％，0.51％，0.51％，respectively. CONCLUSIONS ：The effect of detecting impurities by RP-HPLC-UV are the best. Established method is specific and sensitive ，and can be used for the determination of related substance in fidaxomicin raw material.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the apoptosis effect of ischemic postconditioning on levels of IL-6 and ATP during renal ischemia/reperfusion injury in obstructive jaundice rats. Methods One hundred SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: the Sham control group , I/R group , OJ-Sham group , OJ-I/R group , and OJ- I/R+IPO group, with 20 cases in each group. According to the time after ischemia/reperfusion, each group was divided into four subgroups (n = 5), with reperfusion time of 0 h, 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, respectively. After 1 week of biliary obstruction , rats were sacrificed at 0 h , 1 h , 3 h , 6 h post-I/R , and the left kidneys were taken, renal tissue was used for determination of the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and adenosinetriphosphate (ATP). Results Compared with the OJ-I/R group, the serum level of BUN,Cr decreased significantly in the OJ-I/R-IPO group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Ischemic postconditioning can reduce the injury of kidney ischemia-reperfusion in OJ rais , which may be related to the reduced inflammation reaction and the energy metabolism in the kidney.

RESUMEN
To study the coumarins of Anemone raddeana Regel, the compounds were separated by silica gel column chromatography and HPLC. Their structures were identified by their physicochemical property and spectral analysis. Two new compounds were isolated and identified as 4, 7-dimethoxyl-5-methyl-6-hydroxy coumarin (1) and 4, 7-dimethoxyl-5-formyl-6-hydroxycoumarin (2). The bioassays indicated that compounds 1 and 2 could significantly inhibit the proliferation of cancer cell, and showed the agonist effect on the transactivity of retinoic acid receptor-alpha (RARalpha). In addition, the two compounds had inhibitory effect against human leukocyte elastase (HLE).
