Background: Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 15/19, which is expressed in and secreted from the distal ileum, can regulate hepatic glucose metabolism in an endocrine manner. The levels of both bile acids (BAs) and FGF15/19 are elevated after bariatric surgery. However, it is unclear whether the increase in FGF15/19 is induced by BAs.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted involving 191 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical proximal gastrectomy in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from January 2017 to October 2020. Patients were divided into tubular esophagogastric anastomosis group (TG group) and traditional esophagogastric anastomosis group (EG group) according to the digestive tract reconstruction.
The variations of soil organic carbon and its fractions in different paddy-upland multiple cropping rotation systems were evaluated in field trials in two consecutive years. During paddy-upland multiple cropping rotations conducted over 2 years, the content of soil total organic carbon (TOC) first increased and then decreased. The content of readily oxidized organic carbon (ROC) was highest at the rice tillering stage and lowest at the mature stage.
