The present study aimed to investigate changes in glucose metabolism and incretin hormone response following longer intestinal bypass reconstruction after distal gastrectomy (DG) in low BMI patients with gastric cancer and type 2 diabetes. A total of 20 patients were prospectively recruited and underwent either conventional Billroth I (BI), Billroth II with long-biliopancreatic limb (BII), or Roux-en-Y anastomosis with long-Roux limb (RY) after DG. A 75g-oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was given preoperatively; and at 5 days, 3 months, and 6 months postoperatively. Serum glucose, insulin, glucagon, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) were serially measured. At 6 months after surgery, complete diabetes remission was achieved in 57.1% of the BII group but in no patients in the other two groups (p = 0.018). BII group showed a significant reduction in glucose concentration during OGTT at 6 months in contrast to the other 2 groups. In the BII group, a significant increase in GLP-1 secretion was observed after surgery but not maintained at 6 months, while postoperative hyperglucagonemia was alleviated along with a reduction in GIP. BII gastrojejunostomy with long biliopancreatic limb achieved better diabetes control with favorable incretin response after DG compared to BI or RY reconstruction.

Background: There is controversy regarding which is the best reconstruction technique after the pancreatoduodenectomy. Currently, there are no studies comparing the three most frequent reconstruction techniques: Whipple + Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy (WRYGJ), pyloric-preserving + Billroth II (PPBII), and Whipple + BII (WBII).
Methods: Between 2012 and March 2023, 246 patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy with the following type of reconstruction techniques: (1) WRYGJ: 40 patients; (2) PPBII: 118 patients; and (3) WBII: 88 patients.

Background: Self-reported breast implant illness (BII) has been found to be associated with anxiety as well as medically diagnosed anxiety and depression. Somatic symptom disorder (SSD) is a relatively common mental health condition that includes anxiety and somatic symptoms, often without a clear cause.
Methods: We evaluated patients with BII symptoms, with or without a history of an anxiety disorder, for findings consistent with SSD.

Article Synopsis
- * In a sample of 382 Asian women planning to conceive, the research identifies a new liver fat cutoff of 2.07% for diagnosing MetS, with trends indicating worsened MetS traits and plasma metabolomic changes as liver fat increases.
- * Results show that preconception liver fat levels significantly correlate with the risk of gestational diabetes, with moderate liver fat (2.07% to 5.56%) doubling and high liver fat (≥5.56%) increasing the risk seven

Purpose: This study aimed to compare postoperative gastrointestinal symptoms between patients who underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y (R-Y) and Billroth-II with Braun (B-II B) reconstruction.
Methods: This observational study retrospectively analyzed 151 patients (110 in R-Y group and 41 in B-II B group) who underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy from January 2020 to December 2021. A comparison was made regarding surgical outcomes, perioperative nutritional and inflammatory markers, postoperative dietary patterns, and gastrointestinal symptoms between the two groups.

Phosphatidylglycerol is a critical membrane phospholipid in microorganisms, synthesized via the dephosphorylation of phosphatidylglycerol-phosphate (PGP) by three membrane-bound phosphatases: PgpA, PgpB, and PgpC. While any one of these enzymes can produce phosphatidylglycerol at WT levels, the reason for the presence of all three in bacteria remains unclear. To address this question, we characterized these phosphatases in vitro to uncover their mechanistic differences.
