Objective: To study whether subcutaneously embedding xenogeneic protein threads or synthetic polymer absorbable threads can improve obesity phenotypes and metabolic conditions, and to further explore its underlying mechanism.
Methods: Thirty-six 8-week-old ob/ob mice were randomly allocated to three groups, respectively, receiving catgut embedding, PGA thread embedding or sham treatment bilaterally to the groin. Individual parameters including weight, food intake, and core temperature are recorded and metabolism assessment, energy expenditure analysis, and PET/CT scanning are also performed at fixed timepoints.

Summary Objectives: With the development and rise of abdominal laparoscopic techniques, the old Reverdin needle has had a revival, because it proved to be useful for the endoscopic closure of laparoscopic access ports, in order to lower the incidence of incisional hernias. Several new modifications of the Reverdin needle, with different names, are in the market now. This new use of an old instrument, prompted a review of the life and work of Jaques-Louis Reverdin, the Swiss surgeon trained in Paris and founder of the modern Swiss surgery.
