Objective To explore the association of macrophages with carcinogenesis and development of gastric cancer. Method The related literatures at home and abroad were consulted and reviewed. Results The microenvironment of gastric cancer could induce the polarization of macrophages，and then the activated macrophages，especially the tumor associated macrophages，could in turn motivate the growth，invasion，and metastasis of tumor cells by secreting a series of active substances. Conclusions Macrophages，especially the tumor associated macrophages play an importantrole in the carcinogenesis and development of gastric cancer. Investigating the macrophages and their interaction with gastric cancer may lead to a profound understanding of carcinogenesis of gastric cancer as well as opening up a new prospectfor treatment.
目的 探讨急诊条件下胆囊结石合并胃恶性肿瘤的诊断与治疗。方法 回顾性分析6例因胆囊结石行胆囊切除、术中意外发现胃恶性肿瘤患者的临床资料及治疗过程。结果 6例患者中5例发现胃癌，1例发现原发性胃恶性淋巴瘤。5例施行胃癌根治术，1例施行全胃切除术，无术后并发症，术后定期化疗，随访6～43个月，至术后随访截止日（2008年12月）均存活。结论 老年胆囊结石患者应注意合并胃恶性肿瘤的可能，胆囊切除术中仔细探查胃及周围器官极为重要，同时施行根治性切除是最佳选择。
