Article Synopsis
  • Obesity is linked to upper gastrointestinal disorders, and there's debate over whether routine preoperative esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) should be done before bariatric surgery.
  • A study analyzed 405 patients who had EGD prior to bariatric surgery, finding chronic superficial gastritis and reflux esophagitis as the most common conditions, with significant demographic differences noted among those with reflux esophagitis.
  • The study concludes that preoperative EGD can reveal various pathologies in obese patients, recommending it as a standard procedure to help tailor surgical approaches and improve outcomes for bariatric surgery.

Obesity and related comorbidities have negative impacts on cognitive function. Weight loss seems to be associated with the improvement of cognitive function and the recovery of brain structure, but the underlying mechanism is not clear. This meta-analysis aimed to explore the status of cognitive function including memory, executive function, attention and language ability in patients with obesity, and to further investigate whether bariatric surgery can improve overall cognitive function in these patients.

Background: Management of gastric leak after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is challenging due to its unpredictable outcomes. We aimed to summarize the characteristics of SG leaks and analyze interventions and corresponding outcomes in a real-world setting.

Methods: To retrospectively review of 15,721 SG procedures from 2010 to 2020 based on a national registry.

Aims: To summarize the Greater China Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Database (GC-MBD) and to compare patient characteristics and different procedures performed with data from published reports from other international bariatric surgery registries.

Materials And Methods: Data were extracted from the GC-MBD registry in 2021. Baseline demographic characteristics, obesity-related comorbidities and operational information were analysed.

This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of pharmacoprophylaxis regimens for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. A total of 15 studies were included. Low molecular-weight heparins (LMWH) and fondaparinux may be equally effective in reducing VTE risk (OR 1.

Background: To compare laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy (LPG) and laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) with regard to outcomes, including efficacy and safety, in patients with proximal gastric cancer.

Methods: Original English-language articles comparing LPG and LTG for proximal gastric cancer up to November 2019 were systematically searched in the Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Knowledge, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases by two independent reviewers.

Background: Bariatric surgery is associated with a reduced incidence of hyperuricaemia during the long follow-up time. However, few studies have elucidated the alterations in serum urate (SU) levels in the short-term post-surgery period.

Purpose: To identify the alterations in SU concentrations in individuals with obesity at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after bariatric surgery and determine the risk factors for alterations during the first 3 post-surgery months.

Introduction: Increasing studies have demonstrated that noncoding RNAs, including miRNAs and lncRNAs, have vital roles in mediating cancer progression. However, the expression features and biological functions of LINC00689 in gastric cancer (GC) remain largely unknown. This study was designed to investigate the functions of LINC00689, miR-526b-3p and ADAM9 as well as their interactions in GC.

The endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-induced autophagy and apoptosis are favorable for the suppression of many cancer types. Salidroside (Salid) has been proven to be capable of inducing the apoptosis of many cancer cells. However, the underlying mechanisms and whether Salid can activate the autophagic system have still not been explained thoroughly.

In order to obtain 240 cases of the surface Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra of normal human thyroid gland, 120 healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study and scanned by using two mid-infrared optical fibers equipped with an attenuated total reflectance (ATR) to probe through the skin of two lobes of thyroid gland. Then whether there were differences between the surface FTIR spectra of the right lobe and that of the left part of the normal human thyroid gland was explored by comparing the 35 variables of 12 bands, including peak positions, relative intensity ratios and full width at half maximum of FTIR spectrums. Also the spectra characteristics of unique absorbent bands that represent changes of structure and quantity of variance biochemical substances such as nucleic acids, proteins and carbohydrates were illustrated.

Background: Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has shown its unique advantages in distinguishing cancerous tissue from normal one. The aim of this study was to establish a quick and accurate diagnostic method of FTIR spectroscopy to differentiate malignancies from benign breast tissues intraoperatively.

Materials And Methods: In this study, a total of 100 breast tissue samples obtained from 100 patients were taken on surgery.

Eye absent (Eya) proteins are involved in cell fate determination in a broad spectrum of cells and tissues. Aberrant expression of Eya2 has been documented in a variety of cancers and correlates with clinical outcome. However, whether microRNAs (miRNAs) can regulate Eya2 expression remains unknown.
