Article Synopsis
- This study looked at two ways to connect parts of the stomach and intestines after surgery for pancreatic issues: hand-sewn and stapled methods.
- It found that the hand-sewn method caused fewer problems with delayed stomach emptying and other issues compared to the stapled method.
- However, the hand-sewn method took longer to perform in surgery but resulted in shorter hospital stays and lower costs for patients.
Metabolic surgery has been increasingly recommended for obese diabetic patients, but questions remain as to its molecular mechanism that leads to improved metabolic parameters independently of weight loss from a network viewpoint. We evaluated the role of the Roux limb (RL) in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery in nonobese diabetic rat models. Improvements in metabolic parameters were greater in the long-RL RYGB group.

Literature findings suggest a potential therapeutic effect of Nrg4 on treating obesity-related metabolic disorders including type 2 diabetes (T2D). Adipose tissue-derived MSCs (ADSCs) were used in our study as they are abundant and can be harvested with minimally invasive procedures.

Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched (the last search date was June 10, 2018) to identify relevant clinical studies. The mean arterial oxygen saturation (MeanSaO), nadir oxygen saturation (NadirSaO), apnea hypopnea index (AHI), and body mass index (BMI) data during the perioperative period were extracted and analyzed using a random effects model.
