Metabolic and bariatric surgery for obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome: bibliometric analysis and visualisation from 1999 to 2023.

Objectives: Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) for obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) has garnered significant research interest. The main aim of this study was to analyse the unique characteristics of publications centred around MBS for OSAS. We aimed to provide valuable insights into the present status of the field and offer predictions regarding future trends.

Meta-analysis of the efficacy and safety of robot-assisted comparative laparoscopic surgery in lateral lymph node dissection for rectal cancer.

Introduction: A meta-analysis was conducted on the perioperative and oncological outcomes of robot-assisted and laparoscopic lateral lymph node dissection in rectal cancer. There are few articles and reports on this topic, and a lack of high-quality research results in unreliable research conclusions. This study includes prospective and retrospective studies to obtain more reliable findings.

Comparing perioperative and oncological outcomes of transanal and laparoscopic total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials and prospective studies.

Introduction: Meta-analysis of the results of transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) and laparoscopic TME (laTME) regarding perioperative and oncological outcomes have been conducted. Due to the lack of high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and prospective studies in the included literature, the conclusions are unreliable. This study included RCTs and prospective studies for analysis to obtain more reliable conclusions.

Insulin resistance levels predicted metabolic improvement and weight loss after metabolic surgery in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes.

Background: The causes for failure of metabolic improvement and inadequate weight loss after metabolic surgery (MS) in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have not been fully elucidated. The effect of insulin resistance (IR) on the outcome of T2D, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obesity after MS in Chinese patients with T2D and a body mass index (BMI) of 25-32.5 kg/m warrants further study.

Sex-Specific Changes in Body Composition Following Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Are Associated with the Remission of Metabolic Syndrome.

Purpose: Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is the most effective treatment for metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, the mechanism of MetS remission after MBS remains unclear. We aimed to explore the relationship between sex differences, body composition, and the remission of MetS after MBS.

Predictors of T2DM Remission after Bariatric Surgery in Patients with a BMI < 35 kg/m: a Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: Although a few studies have reported the predictors of postoperative diabetes remission in patients with body mass index (BMI) < 35 kg/m, the conclusions are still inconsistent. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the preoperative clinical factors of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remission after bariatric surgery.

Materials And Methods: The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched until April 2022.

Effects of Sleeve Gastrectomy on Patients with Obesity and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: a Meta-analysis.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) on patients with obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Materials And Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science to identify relevant studies published prior to December 2, 2022. Meta-analysis was performed on menstrual irregularity, total testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), glucolipid metabolism indicators, and body mass index (BMI) following SG.

A bibliometric and visual analysis of obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome from 2012 to 2022.

Background: Obesity is associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). We aimed to elucidate the research status and explore research trends and future directions of research on obesity and PCOS.

Methods: A bibliometric analysis of the published papers in the field of obesity and PCOS between 2012 and 2022 was conducted on the basis of the Web of Science Core Collection database.

TyG Index Performs Better Than HOMA-IR in Chinese Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with a BMI < 35 kg/m2: A Hyperglycemic Clamp Validated Study.

Background and objectives: Chinese type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients are characterized by a low body mass index (BMI), and significant insulin resistance (IR). The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index has not been studied as a means of assessing IR in Chinese T2DM patients with a BMI < 35 kg/m2. Materials and Methods: An open-label cross-sectional study recruited 102 Chinese T2DM patients with a BMI < 35 kg/m2.

Lipid Accumulation Product Predicts Diabetes Remission After Bariatric Surgery in Chinese Patients with BMI < 35 kg/m: a Multicenter Cohort Study.

Purpose: To evaluate whether preoperative visceral fat-related indexes, such as visceral adiposity index (VAI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI), and metabolic score for visceral fat (METS-VF), are useful for predicting diabetes remission in Chinese patients with a BMI < 35 kg/m after bariatric surgery.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective, multicenter cohort study enrolled 177 patients. Binary logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to identify predictors and clinically useful cutoff values, respectively.

Bariatric Surgery Improves Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: Bariatric surgery has been uncovered to relieve nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in patients with obesity, while current studies have neutral or opposite results. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of bariatric surgery on NAFLD in patients with obesity.

Materials And Methods: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central, and Web of Science databases were performed to obtain publications containing comparison results of liver biopsy before and after bariatric surgery in obesity.

Insulin Resistance Remission Following Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in Chinese Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients With a Body Mass Index of 27.5-32.5 kg/m.

Insulin resistance (IR) is closely associated with the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, remission of insulin sensitivity after bariatric surgery in patients with T2DM and a body mass index (BMI) of 27.5-32.

Five-year Changes in Body Composition in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients with a BMI < 32.5 kg/m Undergoing Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery.

Purpose: Information is scarce on the five-year effect of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB) on body composition for Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with a low BMI. This study aimed to evaluate the five-year changes in body composition in a Chinese T2DM cohort with a BMI < 32.5 kg/m after LRYGB.
