Objectives: The aim of the present study was to assess the relative contribution of duodenal and biliopancreatic bicarbonate secretion to acid neutralization in the duodenum, in basal conditions, during stimulation by PGE2 and during acid infusion in the duodenum.

Methods: Forty rats were anaesthetized and the duodenum was infused with 0.9% saline. Bicarbonate originating from duodenal mucosa and from biliopancreatic secretion was independently collected and measured. In neutralization studies, HCl was infused in the duodenum, and the amount of residual acid escaping from the duodenum was determined with and without bile and/or pancreatic juice diversion.

Results: Basal duodenal and biliopancreatic bicarbonate outputs were respectively 10.0 +/- 0.66 and 2.4 +/- 0.31 mumol/10 min. PGE2 increased duodenal mucosal bicarbonate by about 100%. Eighty-five percent of infused HCl was neutralized by duodenal mucosal bicarbonate. In neutralizing the remaining 15%, pancreatic secretion was slightly predominant, 46% for a HCl concentration of 5 mM and 71% for a HCl concentration of 40 mM.

Conclusions: These results shows that in the anaesthetized rat, available bicarbonate in the duodenal lumen and HCl neutralization ability are mainly dependent upon bicarbonate secreted by the duodenal mucosa.

Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is an effective intervention for patients with severe obesity and metabolic comorbidities, particularly when non-surgical weight loss methods prove insufficient. MBS has shown significant potential for improving quality of life and metabolic health outcomes in individuals with obesity, yet it carries inherent risks. Although these procedures offer a multifaceted approach to obesity treatment and its clinical advantages are well-documented, the limited understanding of its long-term outcomes and the role of multidisciplinary care pose challenges.

Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), yet the precise mechanisms underlying its effectiveness remain incompletely understood. While previous research has emphasized the role of rearrangement of the gastrointestinal anatomy, gaps persist regarding the specific impact on the gut microbiota and barriers within the biliopancreatic, alimentary, and common limbs. This study aimed to investigate the effects of duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB) surgery on obese T2DM mice.

Introduction Bariatric surgery is increasingly employed to address the global burden of morbid obesity, with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) representing the predominant procedure. However, some patients, particularly those with extreme obesity (BMI >50 kg/m²), may experience unsatisfactory weight-related outcomes following RYGB. While biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) offers superior weight reduction for this population, its complexity and associated risks limit its widespread use.

Background: Although bariatric surgery is the most effective obesity treatment, few nationwide cohort studies have evaluated its safety. This study aimed to evaluate surgical trends after insurance coverage implementation and analyze the surgical outcomes of bariatric surgery.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of bariatric surgery in patients with obesity was conducted using data from Korean National Health Insurance System (NHIS) claims.

Background: Patients with body mass index (BMI) ≥50 have more obesity-associated medical problems and often require more aggressive surgical management. Few single-institution comparative studies have been published examining this specific population.

Objectives: The study aims to compare the weight loss and diabetes remission effects of sleeve gastrectomy (SG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS).
