Objective To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of vaginal sacrospinous ligament fixation (VSSLF) procedure which reserving uterus in the treatment of uterine prolapse. Methods 8 cases with uterine pro-lapse underwent VSSLF procedures which reserving uterus from July 2006 to December 2008. Those with incontinence d urine simultaneously underwent ventrofixation of the middle piece of the urethra and folding of the ligamentum pos-terius of the uretha and those with anterior or posterior vaginal wall prolapse underwent eolporrhaphia anterior-posteri-or. Results All patients successfully accomplished by VSSLF,without intraoperative or postoperative hemorrhage or organ injury. All patients' prolapse symptoms were relieved efficently according to the pelvic organs prolapse quantifi-cation(POP-Q). Patients were followed-up for 18 months after operation. 8 patients all recovered well without any complication related to the procedure after operation. Conclusion VSSLF is a simple,safe,effective and micro-inva-sire way for patients with uterine prolapse who want to reserve uterus.

Ras-associated domain family 1A (RASSF1A) genes are members of the RASSF family, which bind to Ras in a guanosine triphosphate(GTP)-dependent manner and then induce Ras-mediated apoptosis. The protein encoded by the RASSF1A gene is similar to the Ras effector protein, which can interact with DNA repair protein XPA, and can also inhibit the accumulation of cyclin D1, thereby inducing cell cycle arrest. The deletion or abnormal expression of RASSF1A gene is related to the pathogenesis of various malignant tumors, indicating that it has tumor suppressor function. RASSF1A gene methylation has been found in at least 37 tumors, and RASSF1A gene may be the most frequently described methylated gene in human cancers. In this paper, the abnormal methylation of RASSF1A gene in different malignant tumors was introduced, and the research progress of its related effects and mechanisms in malignant tumors of the respiratory system, digestive system, genitourinary system, and nervous system in recent years was reviewed, with a view to malignant tumors early diagnosis, individual molecular targeted therapy and prognostic evaluation provide important guidance.

Purpose:
Numerous studies have shown that the frequency of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) is associated with tumor progression, metastasis, and recurrence. Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 3 (CCL3) may be secreted by tumor cells and attract MDSCs into the tumor microenvironment. In the present study, we aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms whereby CCL3 is involved in the interaction of breast cancer cells and MDSCs.
Methods:
The expression of CCL3 and its receptors was investigated using real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The cell counting Kit-8, wound healing, and transwell assays were performed to study cell growth, migration, and invasion. Cell cycling, apoptosis, and the frequency of MDSCs were investigated through flow cytometry. Transwell assays were used for co-culture and chemotaxis detection. Markers of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were determined with western blotting. The role of CCL3 in vivo was studied via tumor xenograft experiments.
Results:
CCL3 promoted cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and cycling, and inhibited apoptosis of breast cancer cells in vitro. Blocking CCL3 in vivo inhibited tumor growth and metastases. The frequency of MDSCs in patients with breast cancer was higher than that in healthy donors. Additionally, MDSCs might be recruited by CCL3. Co-culture with MDSCs activated the phosphoinositide 3-kinase-protein kinase B-mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K-Akt-mTOR) pathway and promoted the EMT in breast cancer cells, and their proliferation, migration, and invasion significantly increased. These changes were not observed when breast cancer cells with CCL3 knockdown were co-cultured with MDSCs.
Conclusion
CCL3 promoted the growth of breast cancer cells, and MDSCs recruited by CCL3 interacted with these cells and then activated the PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway, which led to EMT and promoted the migration and invasion of the cells.

Objective To observe the influence of Huiyang Shengji Fang(Restoring Yang and Promoting Tissue Regeneration Decoction, HYSJF) and its decomposed formulas-Yiqi Wenyang Fang (Qi-supplementing and Yang-warming Decoction,YQWYF) and Huoxue Tongluo Fang(Blood-activating and collateral-freeing Decoction,HXTLF) on macrophage phenotype inversion,and discuss the mechanism of YQWYF and HXTLF in regulating macrophage phenotype inversion during the period of chronic skin ulcer. Methods THP-1 cells were stimulated and transformed into macrophages with PMA. After stimulated with LPS and INF-γ for 48 h, the macrophages were transformed into M1 macrophages. Lovastatin (10 μmol /L) was taken as control drug. The influence of YQWYF and HXTLF on activities of macrophages was observed by using CCK-8 method, and their influence on the phagocytosis of macrophages was detected by using neutral red uptake assay (NRU). The expressions of iNOS mRNA and Arg-1 mRNA were detected by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) after M1 macrophages stimulated with lovastatin,YQWYF and HXTLF for 24 h. The levels of supernate TNF-α,IL-6,IL-12, IL-10 and VEGF were detected by using CBA method. The level of supernate TGF-β was detected by using ELISA. Results YQWYF,in dose of 4 mg/L (low-dose YQWYF group),0.8 mg/L (mid-dose YQWYF group) and 0.16 mg/L (high-dose YQWYF group), and HXTLF, in dose of 32 mg/L (low-dose HXTLF group),6.4 mg/L (mid-dose HXTLF group) and 1.28 mg/L (high-dose HXTLF group) had no influence on proliferation of macrophages but improved phagocytosis of NRU of macrophages. The expression of iNOS mRNA of M1 macrophages increased significantly after stimulated by LPS and INF-γ, and decreased significantly in lovastatin group, YQWYF group and HXTLF group compared with model group (P <0.01). The expression of Arg-1 mRNA of M2 macrophages decreased significantly after stimulated by LPS and INF-γ compared with normal group, was improved significantly in lovastatin group, YQWYF group and HXTLF group compared with model group (P <0. 01), and decreased significantly in YQWYF group and HXTLF group compared with lovastatin group. After M1 macrophages stimulated by above drugs for 24 h, the levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1 decreased significantly, and levels of VEGF and TGF-β increased significantly. The level of IL-10 increased significantly in high-dose YQWYF group (P<0.05),The levels of IL-10,VEGF and TGF-β had statistical difference in HXTLF group and high-dose YQWYF group compared with lovastatin group. Conclusion YQWYF and HXTLF can inhibit expression of iNOS mRNA of M1 macrophages and induce expression of Arg-1 mRNA of M2 macrophages, and can inhibit the secretion of M1 macrophage cytokine and improve secretion of M2 macrophage cytokine.
