ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of gastric bypass surgery (GBP) on fasting bloo-glucose (FBG) in type 2 diabetic rats. MethodsThe models of type 2 diabetic rats were induced by stretozotocin and 20 diabetic rats were randomly divided into two groups: diabetes-operation group (DO group, n=10) and diabetes-control group (DC group, n=10). Another twenty normal rats were randomly divided into two groups: normaloperation group (NO group, n=10) and normal-control group (NC group, n=10). The rats underwent GBP in DO group and NO group and sham operation in DC group and NC group. The FBG levels, serum dipeptidyl peptidase Ⅳ (DPPⅣ), and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) concentrations of rats in each group were detected before operation and at 72 h, on 1 week, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks after operation. ResultsThe FBG levels of rats before operation were not significantly different between DO group and DC group or between NO group and NCgroup (Pgt;0.05). After operation, the FBG levels of rats in DO group gradually declined, reached the bottom on 4 weeks after operation and rose slightly on 8 weeks; The FBG levels of rats in DO group were lower after operation than before operation (Plt;0.05); After operation the FBG levels of rats in DO group were higher than that in NO group and NC group at the same time point (Plt;0.05); In DC group, the difference of FBG levels of rats at different time point was not statistically significant (Pgt;0.05); The inter-group and intra-group difference of FPG levels of rats for NO group and NC group was not statistically significant (Pgt;0.05). The concentrations of serum DPP-Ⅳ of rats before operation were not significantly different in each group (Pgt;0.05). After operation, the concentrations of serum DPP-Ⅳ of rats in DO group and NO group gradually decreased and markedly lower than that before operation, respectively (Plt;0.05). The concentrations of serum DPP-Ⅳ of rats after operation in DO group and NO group were significantly lower than that at the same time point in DC group and NC group, respectively (Plt;0.05); The intragroup difference of serum DPP-Ⅳ concentrations of rats for DC group and NC group was not statistically significant (Pgt;0.05). The concentrations of serum GLP-1 of rats before operation were not significantly different between DO group and DC group or between NO group and NC group (Pgt;0.05). After operation, the concentrations of serum GLP-1 of rats in DO group and NO group gradually increased, reached the top on 4 weeks after operation and declined slightly on 8 weeks; The concentrations of serum GLP-1 of rats in DO group and NO group were higher after operation than before operation (Plt;0.05);After operation, the concentrations of serum GLP-1 of rats in NO group were higher than that in NC group (Plt;0.05), but the concentrations of serum GLP-1 of rats at different time point in NO group were not different (Pgt;0.05). The intragroup difference of serum GLP-1 concentrations of rats for DC group and NC group was not statistically significant (Pgt;0.05). ConclusionsThere is obvious hypoglycemic effect of GBP on FBG levels of type 2 diabetic rats other than normal rats, in which high secretion of GLP-1 and low secretion of DPP-Ⅳ may be play an important role.
Compared with open surgery, laparoscopic radical resection of the body and tail pancreatic cancer is gradually being accepted due to its shorter hospital stay, reduced intraoperative blood loss, and comparable perioperative and oncological prognosis. The proposal of radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (RAMPS) has established a standardized approach for resection scope and lymph node dissection in pancreatic body and tail cancers. Studies have confirmed that RAMPS surgery can achieve a higher N1 station lymph node dissection, R0 margin ratio, and satisfactory patient survival rates. Furthermore, RAMPS has demonstrated oncological advantages in terms of postoperative local control. Laparoscopic RAMPS (LRAMPS) has been shown to be technically feasible and to yield long-term oncologic outcomes comparable to open RAMPS. An increasing number of studies have evaluated LRAMPS as the standard surgical modality for resectable body and tail pancreatic cancers. This article discusses the main points and challenges of LRAMPS surgery, and presents some personal experiences.
The detection rate of benign and borderline/low-grade malignant tumors of pancreas has increased year by year. Most of the patients are middle-aged and young people, who have thirst for high quality of life in long-term. Pancreatic-duct-preserving partial pancreatectomy can meet the needs of reducing surgical trauma, preserving normal pancreatic function and improving patients’ quality of life. However, pancreatic-duct-preserving partial pancreatectomy often needs to face the problem of pancreatic duct defect. Repair of pancreatic duct needs to be applied according to different types of pancreatic duct defect. At the same time, the prevention and treatment of pancreatic fistula also require more patience, courage and creativity of pancreatic surgeons. Pancreatic-duct-preserving partial pancreatectomy can solve the current clinical problems. It is safe and feasible with carefully evaluate indications, characters of patients and the personal ability of surgeons.
