Objective: To investigate the effects of tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) on proliferation, migration, invation and apoptosis of gastric cancer MGC-803 cells and the possible mechanisms. Methods: Human monocyte THP-1 was cultured in vitro. After being added with PMA and IL-4, the levels of interleukin-12 (IL-12) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in cell supernatant were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). MGC-803 cells at logarithmic phase and M2-type TAM cells were divided into single cell culture group, non-contact co-culture group and contact co-culture group according to different culture methods. MTT assay was used to detect the proliferation of MGC-803 cells, Transwell assay was used to detect cell migration and invasion, andAnnexin V-FITC/ PI staining flow cytometry was used to examine the apoptosis and cell cycle changes of MGC-803 cells; In addition, the mRNAand protein expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and MMP-2 were detected by Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) and Western blotting. Results: Compared with PMA group, the level of IL-12 in cell supernatant of PMA+IL-4 group decreased significantly while the level of IL-10 increased significantly (all P<0.05), indicating THP-1 cells were successfully induced to differentiate into M2-type TAM. Compared with the single cell culture group, the non-contact co-culture group and the contact co-culture group exhibited: (1) significantly increased proliferation rate of MGC-803 cells (P<0.05)； (2) increased number of migrated and invaded cells (all P < 0.05)； (3) significantly decreased apoptotic rate (P<0.05)； (4) increased proportion of S, G2 phase cells and decreased proportion of G1 phase cells (all P<0.05)；and (5) significantly increased mRNA and protein expressions of MMP-9 and MMP-2 (all P<0.05). Conclusion: TAM can promote the proliferation, migration and invasion of gastric cancer MGC-803 cells, relieve G1 phase arrest and reduce cell apoptosis, which may be related to the up-regulation of MMP-9 and MMP-2 expression in gastric cancer cells.

Anal fistula is a common disease. It is also quite difficult to be solved without recurrence or damage to the anal sphincter. Several techniques have been described for the management of anal fistula, but there is no final conclusion of their application in the treatment. This article summarizes the history of anal fistula management, the current techniques available, and describes new technologies. Internet online searches were performed from the CNKI and Wanfang databases to identify articles about anal fistula management including seton, fistulotomy, fistulectomy, LIFT operation, biomaterial treatment and new technology application. Every fistula surgery technique has its own place, so it is reasonable to give comprehensive individualized treatment to different patients, which may lead to reduced recurrence and avoidance of damage to the anal sphincter. New technologies provide promising alternatives to traditional methods of management. Surgeons still need to focus on the invention and improvement of the minimally invasive techniques. Besides, a new therapeutic idea is worth to explore that the focus of surgical treatment should be transferred to prevention of the formation of anal fistula after perianal abscess.
