RESUMEN
As the vanguard of the innate immune system to recognize external environmental stimuli, macrophages can respond to subtle changes in the environment and achieve adaptive regulation of their own functions, playing a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis and resisting infection. Various mechanical stress stimuli including endogenous stress mediated by mechanical characteristics of extracellular matrix, and exogenous stress such as solid/liquid pressure, tension and fluid shear stress, exist in the physiological or pathological tissue microenvironment, which have important effects on the immune function of macrophages. The understanding of macrophage mechanobiology will contribute to the development of new immunotherapies targeting macrophages. This review focuses on the functional regulation of macrophages by mechanical stress, summarizes the research progress from the perspective of influencing cell adhesion, migration, phagocytosis and polarization, and summarizes the molecular mechanisms of macrophage mechanical sensing and transduction from the outside to the inside in three levels: cell membrane mechanical sensors, force signal transduction of cytoskeleton system, and YAP/TAZ-mediated gene expression regulation response to mechanical stress. In addition, the application prospects and future vision of macrophage mechanobiology research in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and tumor immunotherapy are discussed, providing strong support for a deeper understanding of the plasticity of macrophage function.

RESUMEN
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the clinical effects of cervical posterior pedicle screw internal fixation and interbody fusion for the treatment of atlanto-axial vertebral instability fractures.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From July 2008 to July 2013, 21 patients with atlanto-axial vertebral instability fractures were treated with vertebral pedicle screw internal fixation and interbody fusion through posterior approach. There were 14 males and 7 females, aged from 20 to 55 years old with an average of 32 years. Lifted and guided the atlanto-axial vertebral pedicle screw to reduce atlanto-axial vertebral displacement.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All patients were followed up from 6 to 24 months with an average of 12.5 months. Wounds got healed without complication of infection. Clinical symptoms were relieved at 6 months after operation. According to ASIA score standard to assess at 6 months after operation, the items of motion, light touch and needle score had obviously improved, and respectively were 99.45 ±0.27, 111.09 ± 0.47,111.11 ± 0.58. VAS and NDI scores also had obviously improved, and respectively were 1.04 ± 0.38 and 12.56 ± 2.24. Imaging examinations showed internal fixation locations were good, without atlanto-axial joint instability.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Cervical posterior pedicle screw internal fixation and interbody fusion can effectively restore the stability of atlanto-axial joint, reduce complication and obtain satisfactory effects.</p>
