ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate anticoagulant effects of mechanical methods in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).Methods:In this prospective study, 54 obese patients receiving LSG were enrolled . All patients were given post-op mechanical methods for thrombogenic interventions. BMI and the operation-related factors were recorded. Venous blood specimens were taken from each patient before surgery, at the end of pneumoperitoneum (i.e., 0 h after surgery), at 24 hours after surgery for prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen (FIB) and D-dimer (D-D).Results:All 54 obese patients successfully underwent LSG. No severe complications were observed. Before operation, the mean BMI was (43.49±8.29) kg/m 2. DVT-2600 device was applied in all patients for 3 consecutive days after surgery. The PT values increased at 0 h, 24 h after surgery [(12.4±1.2) s, (12.4±0.8) s vs. (11.2±0.8) s, P=0, 0]. The APTT values at 0 h, 24 h after surgery decreased [(29.7±3.6) s, (29.0±3.1) s vs.(31.2±3.3) s, P=0.020, 0.001]. However, the D-D values increased at 0 h,24 h after operation [(213±143) ng/ml ,(445±237) ng/ml vs. (85±108) ng/ml, P=0, 0]. All patients were followed up for 1 month, and no thrombosis -related complications were observed. Conclusion:Mechanical methods for obese patients after LSG can help decrease the risk of deep venous thrombosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the application of Moorehead-Ardelt Ⅱ questionnaire (MA Ⅱ) in assessment of the quality of life (QOL) among obese patients after bariatric surgery.Methods:One hundred and five patients with obesity were enrolled, the weight, body mass index (BMI), comorbidities and MA Ⅱ scores before and after operation were counted. The difference between the QOL of pre- and post-operation was analyzed.Results:All the patients completed the questionnaire. The Cronbach α coefficient of the questionnaire was higher than 0.7. The post-operational scores of 6 items were significantly higher than that of pre-operation. ( P<0.001). The proportion of "poor" and "very poor" QOL in the pre-operational patients was 43.8%, compared with 0 in the post-operative patients;the proportion of "good" and "very good" QOL in the pre-operatve patients was 4.7%, compared to 86.7% in the post-operative patients ( χ2=146.863, P<0.001). Conclusions:MA Ⅱ questionnaire is a professional, easy oprated tool for assessment of QOL associated with obesity.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the predictive value of preoperative peripheral blood lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) for lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer.Methods:Data of 177 gastric cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment in Beijing Shijitan Hospital from Jan 2014 to May 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the ROC curve, the optimal critical value is determined to be 3.79. By this value, patients were divided into high LMR group (LMR≥3.79) and low LMR group (LMR<3.79). Patients′ clinicopathological characteristics were collected to analyze the relationship between LMR and lymph node metastasis and lymph node N staging.Results:A comparison of LMR and N1 and N2 stage between the two groups showed no significant difference, but both N1 and N2 had statistical defference with N3 ( P<0.05), suggesting a positive correlation between low LMR and high N stage. Logistic regression analysis proves that low LMR is significantly correlated with metastatic lymph node when the number was more than 6. Conclusion:Low LMR is positively correlated with lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer patients.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the feasibility of repairing porcine bile duct defect with decellularized rabbit abdominal aorta matrix scaffold.Methods Sodium dodecyl sulfate and Sodium deoxycholate were used to remove the cells in the blood vessel,and the residual DNA and RNA fragments were removed by nuclease.The prepared scaffold was implanted to repair defect of bile duct in swine,which were sacrificed after 45 days of surgery for histological evaluation.Results HE,Masson and elastic fiber staining showed that the composition and structure of the scaffold maintained their native features after dcellularization treatment.DNA content in acelllular scaffold (0.12 ± 0.01) μg/mg dry weight) was significantly decreased as compared with the native ones (2.31 ± 0.03) μg/mg dry weight,P ＜ 0.05).Collagen content was increased from (152 ±22) μg/mg dry weight in intact aorta to (177 ±21) μg/mg dry weight.Adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells with typical morphology survived well in the decellularized vascular matrix.It was observed that seeded ASCs penetrated into the inner wall of the scaffold.After transplantation,there was no leakage in the anastomosis and collapse of acellular blood vessel matrix.After 45 days of transplantation,repaired bile duct was harvested for histological evaluation.HE and Masson staining revealed that there were a large number of cells distributed in the inner wall of the scaffold,and some suspected epithelial cells and glands were found.Conclusion Decellularized aorta matrix scaffold hold great potential in serving as scaffold repairing defect of bile duct.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of FTO gene on laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for type 2 diabetes.Methods From Jan 2014 to 2015 Jun,32 T2DM patients received LRYGB in Beijing Shijitan Hospital.According to single nucleotide polymorphism of FTO rs9939609 gene,patients were divided into TF genotype (20 cases),and AT/AA genotype (12 cases).Results Following the degression of BMI from (36.4 ±3.3) kg/m2 to (28.1 ±2.8) kg/m2,fasting blood glucose and HbA1c in group A significantly improved [(8.9 ± 1.6) mmol/L vs.(5.6 ± 1.2) mmol/L,t =8.274,P =0.000;(8.5％ ± 1.9％) vs.(6.2％ ± 0.8％),t =5.032,P =0.000].Following the degression of BMI from (39.5 ±5.6) kg/m2 to (29.7 ± 5.1) kg/m2,fasting blood glucose and HbA1c in group B significantly improved [(10.8 ± 2.8) mmol/L vs.(4.9 ± 0.6) mmol/L,t =7.589,P =0.000;(9.0％ ± 1.8％) vs.(6.1％ ±0.9％),t =5.324,P =0.000].Insulin resistance index in both groups significantly improved [(12.6±10.7) vs.(4.9±5.6),t=5.402,P=0.000;(16.0±5.6) vs.(1.7±1.3),t=9.025,P=0.000].Fasting blood glucose and the insulin resistance index in group B patients was significantly lower than that in group A patients (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion T2DM patients with FTO rs9939609 gene phenotype AT/AA have better prognosis than those with TT in postoperative diabetes improvement.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the application of different approaches in single lateral endoscopic thyroidectomy.Methods Ninety one patients with single lateral thyroid nodule who underwent endoscopic thyroidectomy were divided randomly into bilateral axillo-breast approach group (n =45) and transaxillary approach group (n =46).The clinical data and cosmetic outcomes were compared.Results Procedures were successfully performed in 86 patients with no conversion to open surgery,5 patients in transaxillary group were excluded because of the malignant frozen pathology.The total operation time of transaxillary approach group was (61.6 ± 4.9) min,significantly shorter than that of the bilateral axillo-breast approach approach (90.0 ± 6.5) min,P ＜ 0.05.There was no significant difference in time of subcutaneous tunnel construction,muscles disposal,lateral dissection,lower pole resection,parathyroid identification,thyroid lobe resection and bleeding volume between two groups (P ＞ 0.05),while the time of work space creation,upper pole resection in transaxillary approach was significantly shorter than that in the bilateral axillo-breast approach (P ＜ 0.05).All patients of both groups were satisfied with cosmetic results.Conclusions The operation time in transaxillary approach group was shorter than that in bilateral axillo-breast approach group for the single lateral thyroid nodule,but the operation was more difficuh.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo evaluate treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) using different amastomoses. MethodsTwenty one T2DM patients were divided into two groups:transoral EEA (OrVil) and Endo-GIA according to ways of gastrointestinal anatomosis andunderwentLRYGB. Clinicaldataincluding outcomeof operation, complications,preoperative and postoperative oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT),Homa-IR,Homa-β,blood lipid and nutrition status were analyzed.ResultsLRYGB procedures were successfully performed in all the 21 patients with no conversion to open surgery.The difference of intraoperative blood loss,postoperative recovery time between two groups was not significant.The mean operation time in OrVil group ( 126 ± 29 )mins was shorter than that in Endo-GIA group ( 156 ± 28 ) mins ( P ＜ 0.05 ),but at the same time,the mean expenditure was higher. Evaluated on three months after operation,the T2DM cure rate was 78％,and effective rate was 100％ in OrVil goup and those were 83％,100％ respectively in Endo-GIA group.No postoperative malnutrition, anemia or severe complication occurred.ConclusionsThe efficiency of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass using different amastomoses was same in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.The operation time was shorter in OrVil group but the expenditure was higher.
