Possible mechanisms of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus / 中华胃肠外科杂志

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass(RYGB) is a classic procedure for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but it remains unclear why this procedure works. There might be several mechanisms that RYGB works through to treat T2DM, including calorie restriction and malabsorption, improvement of insulin resistance and β-cell functions, and altered secretion of gastrointestinal hormones. Altered levels of adipokines and serum bile acids might also play a role after RYGB. Future researches should concentrate on the exact mechanism of the altered hormone levels after RYGB, and whether different methods of gastrointestinal tract reconstruction could lead to various hormone levels.

Effect of Intrathymic Injection of Allogene Bone Marrow on Small Intestine Transplantation of Rats / 中国康复理论与实践

@#ObjectiveTo investigate the immune tolerance function and significance of allogene bone marrow injection to the small intestines transplantation of rats.MethodsInbreeding line rat F344/N and Wistar/A were selected to perform heterotopic graft of the whole small intestine. 7 days before allogene transplantation, donator bone marrow cells (BMC) were injected into thymus of acceptor (the testing group). According to the isogene and allogene rat transplant model, it was comprehended whether injecting allogene donator marrow into acceptor thymus could decrease the acute rejection after transplantation.Results3, 5 or 7 days after allogeneic rat dystopia whole small intestine transplantation, typical reject reaction appeared, but there was no reject reaction in isogenome and testing group. 3 days after allotransplantation, serum soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) and tumor necrotic factor-α (TNF-α) levels were significantly higher than the other groups (P<0.01). The level of serum sIL-2R and TNF-α in the allogene marrow injecting group were only slight higher on the 3rd or 5th day, and getting downtrend, and there was no significant difference compared with isogenic transplantation group.ConclusionAllogenic donator bone marrow intrathymic injecting into acceptor 7 days before small intestina transplantation, can reduce the reject reaction after the grafting. The levels of serum sIL-2R and TNF-α can be selected as a sensitive early diagnosis index of acute rejection after small intestine transplantation.

Protective effect of ischemic preconditioning on the grafted pancreas and its correlation with apoptosis in rats / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: During pancreas transplantation, ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury can lead to many complications, which directly threaten the survival of the donor pancreas and the receptor itself, and the serious ones may result in the failure of transplantation. Ischemic preconditioning can protect the target organs in the following ischemia, which has become one of the hot spots in investigating organ transplantation.OBJECTIVE: To observe the early protective effect of ischemic preconditioning on the I/R injury of the grafted pancreas in the rat, and analyze its correlation with apoptosis.DESIGN: A randomized control animal experiment.SETTINGS: Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Department of Anesthesiology, Xijing Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: Seventy male SD rats of 3-6 months, weighing 250-320 g, were used.METHODS: The experiments were conducted in the laboratory of Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery between September 2001 and April 2004.Six normal rats were taken as the control group, and 24 successful diabetic models were divided into I/R group and 1, 2 and 3-time ischemic preconditioning groups (n=18) according to the method of random number table,with 6 rats in each. The rats in the latter three groups were treated with 5-minute ischemia and 5-minute reperfusion for once, twice and three times respectively, all the rats underwent the pancreas transplantation. Twentyfour SD rats served as donors.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Blood glucose before and after reperfusion in each group; Serum contents of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and nitric oxide; Activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and myeloperoxidase (MPD) and content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the grafted pancreatic tissue; ② Apoptosis in the grafted pancreatic tissue observed by means of in situ end-labeling; Expressions of Bax and Bcl-2 proteins in the grafted pancreatic tissue with the method of Western blotting.RESULTS: ① Changes of blood glucose before and after reperfusion: The levels of blood glucose were decreased as compared with those before reperfusion in the I/R group and ischemic preconditioning groups. It was significantly lower in the 2-time ischemic preconditioning group than in the I/R group, 1 and 3-time ischemic preconditioning groups (P ＜ 0.05). ②Serum content of TNF-α at 2 hours after reperfusion: It was lower in the ischemic preconditioning groups than in the I/R group; It was lower in the 2-time ischemic preconditioning group than in the 1 and 3-time ischemic preconditioning groups (P ＜ 0.05). ③ Serum content of nitric oxide after reperfusion: It was higher in the ischemic preconditioning groups than in the I/R group; It was higher in the 2-time ischemic preconditioning group than in the 1 and 3-time ischemic preconditioning groups (P ＜ 0.05). ④SOD activity in the grafted pancreatic tissue after perfusion: It was higher in the ischemic preconditioning groups than in the I/R group; It was higher in the 2-time ischemic preconditioning group than in the 1 and 3-time ischemic preconditioning groups (P ＜ 0.05). ⑤ MAD content and MPD activity in the grafted pancreatic tissue after perfusion: Those were lower in the ischemic preconditioning groups than in the I/R group, also lower in the 2-time ischemic preconditioning group than in the 1 and 3-time ischemic preconditioning groups. ⑥ Apoptosis in the grafted pancreatic tissue: The apoptosis index after perfusion was lower in the ischemic preconditioning groups than in the I/R group; It was significantly lower in the 2-time ischemic preconditioning group than in the 1 and 3-time ischemic preconditioning groups (P ＜ 0.05). ⑦ Expressions of Bax and Bcl-2proteins in the grafted pancreatic tissue: There was high expression of Bax protein and low expression of Bcl-2 protein in the grafted pancreatic tissue after perfusion in the I/R group; Low expression of Bax protein and high expression of Bcl-2 protein in the grafted pancreatic tissue after perfusion were observed in the ischemic preconditioning groups; In the 2-time ischemic preconditioning group, the expression of Bcl-2 protein was the highest but that of Bax protein was the lowest.CONCLUSION: Ischemic preconditioning can protect the grafted pancreas from I/R injury at early pancreas transplantation, which maybe correlated with the elevation of SOD activity, increase of the synthesis of endogenous nitric oxide, down-regulation of TNF-α and the alleviations of the adhesion and aggregation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Ischemic preconditioning can reduce the apoptosis of the grafted pancreas, and the the possible mechanism may be correlated with the alleviations of the adhesion and aggregation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, reduce of oxygen-derived free radicals, up-regulation of Bcl-2 protein and the down-regulation of Bax protein. 5-mintue ischemia and 5-minute reperfusion for twice is the best way to induce ischemic preconditioning in rat pancreas transplantation.
