Effect of LSG on insulin resistance and atherogenic index of plasma in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with obesity / 中华内分泌外科杂志

Objective:By comparing the changes of metabolic parameters before and after laparoscopic sleeve gastectomy (LSG) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity, the insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) were calculated to evaluate the effect of metabolic surgery on insulin resistance and atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity.Methods:LSG treatment were retrospectively analyzed in 54 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity, detection of preoperative and postoperative 1 month, 6 month of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), measuring blood pressure, body weight, calculating body mass index, and according to the steady state evaluation model and the formula for calculating HOMA-IR and AIP. Before and after surgery, paired t test was used, and Pearson correlation analysis and multiple stepwise regression analysis.Results:FPG, FINS, TG, HOMA-IR and AIP were (6.38±2.03) mmol/L and (5.36±1.33) mmol/L, (20.42±25.77) uU/mLand (11.22±3.62) uU/mL, (1.94±2.81) mmol/Land (1.70±2.33) mmol/L, (5.60±7.52) and (2.58±0.80), (0.15±0.27) and (0.08±0.25) ,which were significantly lower than those before surgery ( P<0.05) ,HDL-C was (1.04±0.20) mmol/L and (1.10±0.18) mmol/L at 1 and 6 months after operation, respectively, which was higher than that before operation ( P<0.05) .Preoperative correlation analysis showed that AIP was positively correlated with FPG, TG and HOMA-IR ( P<0.05), and negatively correlated with HDL-C ( P<0.05) .The results of multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that FPG, TG and HDL-C were independent influencing factors of AIP ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:LSG surgery can effectively reduce the blood glucose and lipid levels in patients with type 2 diabetes complicated with obesity, improve insulin resistance and reduce the plasma atherosclerosis index.

Methods On day 1 of OLC formation from nonadherent bone marrow ceils (BMC) obtained from rats induced by M-CSF and receptor activator of NF-кB ligand (RANKL), 1, 5 and 10μmol/L pioglitazone hydrochloride was added. RT- PCR was performed to determine the mRNA expressions of PPARγ2 and receptor activator of NF-кB (RANK) on day 3, 5 and 7 during incubation, the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive cells,the number of bone resorption pits and the ratio of its area on dentin slice were counted, the activity of TRAP and the mean fluorescence intensity of integrin β3 (CD61) of OLC were also measured. Results (1) The effect on the differentiation of OLC: The addition of pioglitazone at the start of the culture period induced a dose-dependent decrease in TRAP-positive OLC and the activity of TRAP (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05) ; the mRNA expression of PPARγ2 was up-regulated by 5 and 10 μmol/L pioglitazone in the early stage of incubation and attenuated with thematuration of OLC on the contrary, however, the expression of RANK was down-regulated by 5 and 10 μmol/L piolitazone in every stage of incubation (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), combined with decrease in TRAP-positive OLC from day 3 by 10 μmol/L pioglitazone. (2) The effect on the function of OLC: the number of bone resorption pits and the ratio of its area on dentin slice were decreased in groups of 5 and 10 μmol/L pioglitazone (P < 0.01 orP < 0.05), no obvious change was noted in the group with 1 μmol/L pioglitazone compared with the control group; the mean fluorescence intensity of CD61 were down-regulated in groups of 5 and 10 μmol/L pioglitazone (P < 0.05 or P <0.01). Conclusion Activation of PPARγ2 pathway by pioglitazone could partially inhibit differentiation and function of OLC derived from rat BMC.
