Influence of alimentary tract reconstruction on gastric cancer patients complicated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (a report of 67 cases ) / 中华内分泌外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the influence of alimentary tract reconstruction on blood glucose level in gastric cancer patients complicated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods Clinical data of 67 gastric cancer patients complicated with type 2 diabetes mellitus and the level of blood glucose before operation, one month, three month, six month after operation were retrospectively analyzed. BMI of 53 patients was lower than 25kg/m2,9 patients between 25～29.9 kg/m2 and 5 patients was higher than 30kg/m2 .Total gastrectomy with P-type jejunal pouch Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy was performed in 26 cases, and total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy was performed in 11 cases, distal subtotal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy in 30 cases. Results Operations on sixty-seven patients were all uneventfully. The mean fasting blood glucose level in the morning was 9.6±3.3 mmol/L before operation, 7.4±2.6 mmol/L one month after operation, 7.5±2.3 mmol/L three month after operation, and 7.7±2.9 mmol/L six month after operation. There were significant differences between the blood glucose level of before operation and one month after operation (P0.05). Conclusions Alimentary tract reconstruction has obviousinfluence on blood glucose level in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. It takes about one month for reveal the effect of operation. This phenomenon is of value for clinical application. Its mechanism needs further research.
