Purpose: While obesity is prevalent among patients with type I diabetes mellitus (T1DM), the effects of metabolic surgery on patients with T1DM have not been adequately investigated. The study aims to investigate the perioperative outcomes and the improvement of comorbidity 1 year following metabolic surgery amongst this patient population.

Methods: In this study, we evaluated the effects of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on patients with T1DM and insulin resistance.

Results: One hundred forty-nine patients (SG n = 91 and RYGB n = 58) with obesity, T1DM, and insulin resistance were analyzed. There was no significant difference in BMI reduction and %EWL 1 year after surgery between the two groups. In the SG group, BMI reduction was 6.5 kg/m versus 5.9 kg/m in the RYGB group (p=0.406). The %EWL was 68.2 ± 25.2 in the RYGB group and 64.3 ± 21.5 in SG (p=0.332). There was also no significant difference in weight loss between the two groups (14.9 ± 5.4 kg in SG vs. 14.2 ± 7 kg in RYGB; p=0.548). In all patients, insulin requirements decreased after surgery, and in 22% of patients, insulin requirements were equivalent to those of normal-weight individuals. There was a significantly higher rate of remission of reflux in RYGB patients than in SG patients (94·44% vs 29·41; p<0.001).

Conclusion: Patients with obesity and T1DM may benefit from metabolic surgery. Both methods produce satisfactory results in this group of patients regarding daily insulin requirements and treatment of obesity-related diseases. However, the decision of which procedure should be carried out still depends on the patient's general condition and the surgeon's technical ability.

FBXW7 metabolic reprogramming inhibits the development of colon cancer by down-regulating the activity of arginine/mToR pathways.

FBXW7 is a tumor suppressor gene that regulates metabolism and is associated with the onset and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC)), however, the precise mechanism whereby FBXW7 participates in the metabolic reprogramming of CRC remains unclear. Here, the research aims to reveal the association between the expression of FBXW7 and clinical variables and to investigate the molecular mechanism by which FBXW7 plays a critical role in the development of CRC. The clinical importance of FBXW7 in CRC was determined by immunohistochemistry.

Postoperative delirium (POD), an acute cognitive dysfunction linked to morbidity and mortality, is characterized by memory impairments and disturbances in consciousness, particularly in patients aged 65 and older. Neuroinflammation and NAD+ imbalance are key mechanisms behind POD, leading to synaptic and cognitive deterioration. However, how surgery contributes to POD and neuroinflammation remains unclear, and effective treatments are lacking.

Background: Metabolic-bariatric surgery (MBS) transcends weight loss and offers wide-ranging health benefits, including positive effects on brain function. However, the mechanisms behind these effects remain unclear, particularly in the context of significant postoperative changes in the inflammatory profile characteristic of MBS. Understanding how inflammation influences postoperative brain function can enhance our decision-making on patient eligibility for MBS and create new opportunities to improve the outcomes of this popular treatment.

Background: The prevalence of severe obesity among adolescents has increased the use of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) as a therapeutic option. Understanding factors influencing adolescent MBS choice and the support needed to undergo MBS is crucial for improving health outcomes. This study examines the motivations and support needs of a diverse sample of adolescents seeking MBS via the patient voice.

Objective: Atherosclerosis underlies the most common etiologies of mortality worldwide, resulting in nearly 10 million deaths annually. In atherosclerosis, inflammation, metabolic factors, and hemodynamics cause the accumulation of extracellular lipids and the formation of plaques in the tunica intima of specific arteries. Atherosclerotic plaques primarily form in the coronary and carotid arteries, the aorta, and the peripheral arteries of the lower extremities.
