Bone metastasis is a common complication of many advanced cancers,especially prostate cancer(85％),breast cancer(70％)and lung cancer(40％),which severely affects the quality of life of the pa-tients and increases its death risk.Macrophages are the essential immune cells in the human body that play a crucial role in the tumor microenvironment(TME),including phagocytosis or removal of cell debris,damaged or apoptotic cells.The phenotypic and functional transition of macrophages is a dynamic process.Under vari-ous stimulation conditions in TME,they can be transformed into two major subpopulations:M1 and M2.In TME,M1 macrophages exert anti-tumor effects and contribute to tumor immunity.M2 macrophages display a robust immunosuppressive phenotype,aiding in tumor cell proliferation and thereby promoting the occurrence of bone metastasis.This article reviews the interaction between macrophages and TME,and explores the role of macrophage polarization in bone metastasis of common cancers such as prostate cancer,breast cancer and lung cancer,and the influence in the occurrence and development of tumors.

Objective: To explore the effect of substrate mechanical microenvironment and cell-cell interaction on differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), intrahepatic cellular function and phenotype. Methods: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)-hepatocytes (HCs) and BMSCs-hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) were co-cultured on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel substrates at different stiffness (4.50 ± 0.47 kPa, 19.00 ± 3.51 kPa and 37.00 ± 2.09 kPa) by non-contact co-culture method. Furthermore, the effect of substrate mechanical microenvironment on BMSCs, HCs and HSCs and the activation and proliferation of HCs under different co-cultured condition was studied. A Student's t-test was used to compare the two groups. Results: The expression ofα-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and collagenα1- I (Col1A1) in BMSCs and HSCs cultured on its own increased with increase of substrate stiffness. After 72 h, the expression of albumin (ALB) of HCs on three stiff substrates was significantly higher than that of 24 and 48 h. Moreover, the expression of ALB of HCs increased with the increase of substrate stiffness. During the co-culture of BMSCs and HSCs, BMSCs of all three stiffness substrates promoted the expression ofα-SMA, Col1A1 in HSCs, but reduced the expression of PPARγin HSCs cells, thererby promoted the activation of HSCs, with apparent stiffness at 37 kPa. HSCs promoted the expression of ABL in BMSCs at three stiff substrates, but inhibited the expression of alpha-SMA and Col1A1 in BMSCs at 37 kPa, suggesting that co-culture had inhibited the differentiation of BMSCs myofibroblasts, and promoted the differentiation of hepatocyte-like cells, especially at high stiff substrates. In the co-culture of BMSCs and hepatic parenchymal cells, BMSCs had promoted the proliferation of hepatic parenchymal cells at 4.5 kPa. Further, hepatic parenchymal cells had inhibited the expression ofα-SMA in BMSCs, and promoted the expression of Alb, with inhibition of BMSCs differentiation towards myofibroblasts. Conclusion The differentiation of BMSCs affects the substrate mechanical microenvironment, co-culture of HCs and HSCs. Simultaneously, affecting the function of hepatocytes in relation to the mechanical state of the substrates.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors in patients with low grade glioma. Methods Eighty- seven patients with low grade glioma confirmed by cytological examination were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among 87 patients, male accounted for 62.1%(54/87), and the average age was 36.2 years. The average followed- up time was 51.4 months (3-135 months), and 5 cases were lost in follow-up. The follow- up rate was 94.3% (82/87). The 3- year survival rate was 84.1%, and the 5- year survival rate was 66.7%. The 3- year survival rate was related to clinical symptoms, maximum diameter of tumor and the extent of resection (P<0.01 or<0.05);and the 5- year survival rate was related to years, Karnofsky score, clinical symptoms, maximum diameter of tumor, the pathology classification and extent of resection (P<0.05 or<0.01). Conclusions Low grade glioma is more common in male patients and patients under the age of 40 years. Age below 40 years, Karnofsky score ≥ 70 scores, only epilepsy symptom, tumor diameter below 6.0 cm, oligodendrogliomas, complete resection or subtotal resection are positive prognostic factors. Postoperative radiotherapy can reduce the rate of tumor progression.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of left ventricular hypertrophy and deformation on cardiac function in patients with uremic cardiomyopathy (UCM) by using the technology of two dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI).Methods:A total of 67 UCM patients were randomly divided into the normal cardiac function group (subgroup A,32 cases) and the abnormal cardiac function group (subgroup B,35 cases)according to the New York Heart Association points (NYHA-P).A total of 30 healthy subjetcs served as the control group.Parameters including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),left ventricular mass index (LVMI),left ventricular spherical index (LVSI),left ventricular myocardial mean radial strain (MRS),mean radial strain rate (MRSR),mean longitudinal strain (MLS),local systolic twist angle (STA),and mitral annulus maximum displacement (TMAD) were detected.Results:MLS,MRS,MRSR,LVSI,STA and TMAD in the Group A and Group B were lower than that in the control group (P＜0.05),and LVMI in the Group A and Group B was increased than those in the control group (P＜0.05);LVEE MLS,MRS,MRSR,LVSI and STAin the Group B was decreased than that in the Group A (P＜0.05).MLS in the Group A and B were positively correlated with LVEF and LVSI,but negatively correlated with LVMI.Using the point of 14.10％ for MLS to evaluate UCM patients with NYHA-P＞4 points,the sensitivity,the specificity and Yuedden index were 90.5％,71％ and 0.585,respectively.STA in UCM patients were lower than that in the control (P＜0.05).Conclusion:2D-STI possesses a unique advantage in detecting left ventricular strain and strain rate on left ventricular regional function in UCM with left ventricular hypertrophy and ventricular deformation.There is no direct correlation between the left ventricular hypertrophy and ventricular deformation,but the ventricular hypertrophy and deformation are correlated with regional cardiac function and clinical cardiac function.Left ventricular regional dysfunction may occur before cardiac hypertrophy and deformation.
