ObjectiveTo investigate effects of sleeve gastrectomy (SG)-transit bipartition (SG-TB) and simple SG on bariatric and anti-diabetic and protective effect on esophagus reflux. MethodsA total of 36 male Sprague-Dawley rats were used to successfully induce the obesity with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) model by dietary feeding and receiving intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (35 mg/kg), then were randomly averagely divided into SG, SG-TB, and sham operation (SO) groups according to the surgical methods, and 8 rats from each procedure were randomly selected and included to use for experimental observation. The observation period was 12 weeks. The changes of terminal esophageal mucosa were observed at the 12th week after operation. The body weight and food intake were measured every 2 weeks after operation. The fasting blood glucose (FBG), oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and insulin tolerance test (ITT) blood glucose levels were measured before operation and at the 4th and 12th week after operation. And the changes of glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and insulin levels were measured before operation and at the 12th week after operation. ResultsThere were no significant differences in all indexes among the 3 groups before operation (P>0.05). ① No esophageal papillomatosis was observed in the SG-TB group at the 12th week after operation, but more severe esophageal papillomatosis was observed in the SG group, and the mucosal height in the SG-TB group was lower than that in the SG group (P<0.05). ② From the 4th week after operation, the body weight and food intake of the SG-TB group and SG group were lower than the SO group (P<0.05), and their changes of these two groups over time were generally stable. While no significant difference was found in the reduction of body weight between the SG-TB group and the SG group (P>0.05), however the food intakes of the SG-TB group were higher than the SG group at the 10th and 12th week after operation (P<0.05). ③ The levels of FBG, OGTT and ITT blood glucoses in the SG-TB group and SG group were lower than in the SO group at the 4th and 12th week after operation (P<0.05) and remained stable after operation. However, no significant difference was found in the FBG and ITT blood glucose level between the SG-TB group and the SG group (P>0.05), while the level of OGTT blood glucose in the SG-TB group was lower than that in the SG group at the 12th week after operation (P<0.05). ④ The levels of GLP-1 in the SG-TB group and SG group were higher than in the SO group and still higher than before operation (P<0.05), while the insulin levels were lower than in the SO group and lower than before operation (P<0.05). ConclusionsFrom preliminary results of this study, change of terminal esophageal mucosa after SG-TB is weaker than that of SG operation, and it is found that SG-TB surgery shows a better trend in blood glucose control as compared with SG operation. However, due to the limitations of sample size, further research and anti-reflux effect of SG-TB operation still need to be verified.
ObjectiveTo compare effectiveness of single-anastomosis duodenoileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) and single anastomosis sleeve ileal (SASI) bypass on weight loss and glucose regulating as well as difference in micronutrient deficiency in obese rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus. MethodsThirty-six Spraque-Dawley rats fed with high fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of low-dose streptozotocin (35 mg/kg) for 1 month were used to induce obese rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus, then were randomly averagely divided into 3 groups: SADI-S group, SASI group, and sham operation (SO) group. Eight rats from numbered rats of each group were randomly selected to carry out experimental observation. The rats’ body weight, food intake, and fasting blood glucose (FBG) were measured from before operation to postoperative 1–6 months. Meanwhile blood was collected before surgery, as well as at month 1 and 6 after surgery for oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT) and insulin resistance testing (ITT). Serum glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1), hemoglobin, and albumin levels, as well as vitamin B12, calcium, and ferrum concentrations were measured before surgery as well as at month 1 and 6 after surgery. Results① The body weight, food intake (except 5–6 months), and FBG level in the SADI-S group and SASI group were lower than the SO group (P<0.05) from 1- to6-month after operation, and all obviously decreased at month 1 after operation (P<0.05), but there was no statistical differences between the SADI-S group and SASI group (P>0.05). ② The postoperative OGTT and ITT blood glucose levels in the SADI-S group and SASI group were lower than those in the SO group (P<0.05) and were lower than those in the preoperative levels (P<0.05), and the SADI-S group had a lower OGTT blood glucose level than the SASI group at month 6 after operation (P<0.05). ③ The GLP-1 levels of the SADI-S group and SASI group were higher than that of the SO group (P<0.05), and higher than before operation at month 6 after operation (P<0.05) , but there was no statistical difference was found between the SADI-S group and SASI group after operation (P>0.05). ④ The postoperative albumin levels of the SADI-S group and SASI groups= were lower than of the SO group (P<0.05) and were lower than before operation, and albumin level of the SADI-S group was lower than of the SASI group at postoperative month 6 (P<0.05); while the hemoglobin had no statistical differences among the 3 groups (P>0.05). ⑤ The ferrum concentration of the SADI-S group was lower than that of the SASI group and SO group at 1 month after operation (all P<0.05), while it increased slightly at month 6 after operation and had no statistical difference between the SADI-S group and SASI group (P>0.05); the calcium concentrations of the SADI-S group and SASI group only at 6 month after operation were lower than those of the SO group (P<0.05), and were lower as compared with before operation (P<0.05) , but no statistical difference was found between the SADI-S group and SASI group (P>0.05); the vitamin B12 had no statistical differences among the 3 groups (P>0.05). ConclusionsFor obese rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus, SADI-S and SASI have similar weight loss effect. Long-term glucose reduction of SADI-S shows a advantage than SASI, but influence of postoperative micronutrients of SASI is inferior to SASI.
Objective To compare the effectiveness of three kinds of sleeve gastrectomy (SG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and sleeve gastrectomy combined with transit bipartition (SG+TB ) as three weight-loss surgical differences in weight loss and glucose control as well as alleviation of nephropathy in obese rats with diabetic nephropathy (DN). MethodsTwelve of 60 SD male rats were randomly selected according to their average body mass and fed with a standard diet (12% fat fever) as normal control (NC) group, and the remaining 48 were fed with high-fat diet (40% fat calories) for 1 month and combined with low-dose 1% streptozotocin method to induce the establishment of obese combined diabetic nephropathy rat model, and subsequently randomized equally into SG group, RYGB group, SG+TB group and sham-operated group. Body mass and food intake were weighed and the fasting blood glucose (FBG) level after fasting for 6 hours was detected before and every month at 1–6 months after operation. At the same time, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), insulin tolerance test (ITT), urinary albumin creatinine ratio (UACR), serum creatinine (Scr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were tested before operation and at the 1st and 6th month after operation. Finally, rat kidney tissues were taken to observe the pathological changes. Results Body mass and food intake of the SG group, the RYGB group and the SG+TB group were lower than that of the sham-operated group at 1–6 months after operation (P<0.05). The body mass of the RYGB group and the ST+TB group were lower than that of the SG group at 1–6 months after operation (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in food intake among the SG group, the RYGB group and the SG+TB group (P>0.05). The FBG levels in the SG group, the RYGB group and the SG+TB group were lower than those in the sham-operation group at 1–6 months after operation (P<0.05). The FBG levels in the RYGB group and the SG+TB group were lower than those in the SG group at 4–6 months after operation(P<0.05). The blood glucose levels detected by OGTT and ITT in the SG group, the RYGB group and the SG+TB group after operation were all lower than those in the sham-operation group (P<0.05), and all were lower than before operation (P<0.05), and the blood glucose level detected by OGTT in the RYGB group at the 1st postoperative month was lower than those in the SG group and the SG+TB group (P<0.05). Whereas there was no significant difference in the blood glucose levels detected by OGTT at the 6-month postoperative period between the the RYGB group and the SG+TB group (P>0.05), but were lower than the SG group (P<0.05). The levels of UACR, Scr and BUN in the SG group, the RYGB group and the SG+TB group after operation were lower than those in the sham-operation group (P<0.05) and lower than those before operation (P<0.05). The UACR and Scr levels in the RYGB group and the SG+TB group were lower than those in the SG group at the 1st and 6th month after operation (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in BUN level among the SG group, the RYGB group and the SG+TB group after operation (P>0.05). Typical pathological changes of diabetic nephropathy occurred in the kidney of rats in sham operation group, such as glomerular edema, capillary cavity congestion and congestion, and mesangial matrix increase. The mesangial matrix of rats in the SG group, the RYGB group and the SG+TB group were significantly improved compared with that in the sham-operation group. Conclusion SG, RYGB and SG+TB can effectively reduce weight, reduce blood sugar and relieve diabetic nephropathy, and SG+TB and RYGB are better than SG.
Sleeve gastrectomy with transit bipartition (SG-TB) was a novel bariatric and metabolic surgery that had received preliminary approval for its effectiveness and safety in reducing weight, improving diabetes, and other metabolic diseases. It showed promising prospects in clinical applications. However, SG-TB also faced some challenges including a small number of cases, insufficient clinical evidence, issues with anastomotic stoma and common channel design, bile reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and malnutrition. Further research is needed to enhance the standardization of SG-TB procedures and provides reference for its wider implementation.
