Abstract
The prevalence of obesity has increased significantly over the last several decades, and with its increase comes a wide variety of comorbidities, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Traditionally, diet and exercise have been prescribed for individuals to try and regain control of their weight and health status. Despite this successful method, the compliance rate is significantly below the desired amount. Over the last few decades, a new treatment has been offered to significantly decrease an individual's weight to an optimal BMI between 18 and 25 kg/m2. Bariatric surgery has been proposed to be the most appropriate treatment for obesity, and there are several different types of bariatric surgery: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS), adjustable gastric band (AGB), and sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Hormones may be significantly involved in losing and maintaining weight loss. This paper aims to evaluate hormone changes in appetite suppression, appetite activation, glycemic control, and lipid metabolism and how these impact overall weight loss concerning the most prominent surgeries. The hormones assessed were ghrelin, insulin, leptin, GLP-1, PYY, and adiponectin, and their levels before and after each surgery were compared. RYGB is one of the most successful types of bariatric surgeries, and this correlates with it having the most suppressed levels of ghrelin, insulin, and leptin following surgery with a slow return to normal. RYGB has also led to the most significant increased levels of PYY, pre- and post-prandial GLP-1, and adiponectin. Hormones following SG followed the hormone trend after RYGB but were not as prominent. BDP-DS has the highest success rate. However, numerous adverse effects have limited the amount of studies assessing the surgery. What was present was not as significant as RYGB, possibly due to manipulation.

Abstract
Obesity is a complex and heterogeneous condition that leads to various metabolic complications, including type 2 diabetes. Unfortunately, for some, treatment options to date for obesity are insufficient, with many people not reaching sustained weight loss or having improvements in metabolic health. In this Review, we discuss advances in the genetics of obesity from the past decade-with emphasis on developments from the past 5 years-with a focus on metabolic consequences, and their potential implications for precision management of the disease. We also provide an overview of the potential role of genetics in guiding weight loss strategies. Finally, we propose a vision for the future of precision obesity management that includes developing an obesity-centred multidisease management algorithm that targets both obesity and its comorbidities. However, further collaborative efforts and research are necessary to fully realise its potential and improve metabolic health outcomes.

[PMID: 37385418 PMCID: PMC10640766 DOI: 10.1016/j.healun.2023.06.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2023] [Revised: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 06/04/2023] [Indexed: 07/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited data integrating waitlist and postheart transplant (HT) mortality have evaluated outcomes of left ventricular assist device (LVAD)-bridged strategy vs no LVAD according to patient characteristics. We evaluated waitlist and post-HT mortality in LVAD-bridged vs nonbridged patients based on body mass index (BMI). METHODS We included linked adults listed for HT in Organ Procurement and Transplant Network/United Network for Organ Sharing and patients receiving durable LVAD as bridge to HT or candidacy in Society of Thoracic Surgeons/Interagency Mechanical Circulatory Support databases (2010-2019). Using BMI at listing or LVAD implant, we categorized patients as underweight (<18.5 kg/m2), normal weight (18.5-24.99 kg/m2), overweight (25-29.99 kg/m2), and obese (≥30 kg/m2). Kaplan-Meier analysis and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models informed the effect of LVAD-bridged and nonbridged strategy by BMI on waitlist, post-HT, and overall mortality (including waitlist and post-HT mortality). RESULTS Among 11,216 LVAD-bridged and 17,122 nonbridged candidates, bridged candidates were more frequently obese (37.3% vs 28.6%) (p < 0.001). Multivariable analysis indicated increased waitlist mortality in LVAD-bridged vs nonbridged with overweight (Hazard ratio (HR) 1.18, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02-1.36) or obesity (HR 1.35, 95%CI 1.17-1.56) in comparison to normal weight candidates (HR 1.02, 95%CI 0.88-1.19) (p-interaction < 0.001). Post-transplant mortality was not statistically different in LVAD-bridged vs nonbridged patients across BMI categories (p-interaction = 0.26). There was a nonsignificant graded increase in overall mortality in LVAD-bridged with overweight (HR 1.53, 95%CI 1.39-1.68) or obesity (HR 1.61, 95%CI 1.46-1.78) compared to nonbridged patients (p-interaction = 0.13). CONCLUSIONS LVAD-bridged candidates with obesity had higher waitlist mortality compared to nonbridged candidates with obesity. Post-transplant mortality was similar in LVAD-bridged and nonbridged patients, but obesity remained associated with increased mortality in both groups. This study may aid clinicians and advanced heart failure patients with obesity in decision-making.

Analysis of Correlation between Age and Satisfied Total Weight Loss Percentage Outcome at 1 Year after Bariatric Surgery using the Restricted Cubic Spline Function: A Retrospective Study in China. Obes Surg 2023; 33:3133-3140. [PMID: 37624490 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-023-06691-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Revised: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to explore the relationship between age and whether the percentage of total weight loss (TWL%) is ≥ 25% or not at 1 year after bariatric surgery (BS). We aimed to provide evidence for the stratified treatment of spatients with obesity at different ages. METHODS The primary outcome evaluated was whether TWL% was no less than 25% at 1 year after BS. A TWL% ≥ 25% was defined as a satisfied TWL% outcome. Logistic regression analysis and the restricted cubic spline (RCS) function were used to analyze the relationship between age and the satisfied TWL% outcome at 1 year after BS. RESULTS Two hundred and ninety-one patients were included in our study. After adjusting for potential confounders, the odds ratios (ORs) of the corresponding quartiles of age associated with satisfied TWL% outcome were 1.00 (reference), 1.117 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) = 0.540-2.311], 1.378 (95% CI = 0.647-2.935), and 0.406 (95% CI = 0.184-0.895). RCS analysis revealed a non-linear inverted L-shaped association between age and satisfied TWL% outcome at 1 year after BS (non-linear P = 0.033). CONCLUSION Age was an independent predictor of satisfied TWL% outcome one year following BS, and our study considered 32 years as a potential cut-off point. For Chinese patients over the age of 32 who are eligible for BS, it may be beneficial to do BS earlier as the probability of achieving a satisfied TWL% outcome may decrease with age.

Baseline Psychosocial, Environmental, Health, and Behavioral Correlates of 1- and 3-Year Weight Loss After Bariatric Surgery. Obes Surg 2023; 33:3198-3205. [PMID: 37612577 PMCID: PMC10765815 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-023-06791-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/10/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Weight loss surgery is an effective, long-term treatment for severe obesity but individual response to surgery varies widely. The purpose of this study was to test a comprehensive theoretical model of factors that may be correlated with the greatest surgical weight loss at 1-3 years following surgery. Such a model would help determine what predictive factors to measure when patients are preparing for surgery that may ensure the best weight outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Bariatric Experience Long Term (BELONG) study collected self-reported and medical record-based baseline information as correlates of 1- and 3-year % total weight loss (TWL) in n = 1341 patients. Multiple linear regression was used to determine the associations between 120 baseline variables and %TWL. RESULTS Participants were 43.4 ± 11.3 years old, Hispanic or Black (52%; n = 699), women (86%; n = 1149), and partnered (72%; n = 965) and had annual incomes of ≥ $51,000 (60%; n = 803). A total of 1006 (75%) had 3-year follow-up weight. Regression models accounted for 10.1% of the variance in %TWL at 1-year and 13.6% at 3 years. Only bariatric operation accounted for a clinically meaningful difference (~ 5%) in %TWL at 1-year. At 3 years after surgery, only bariatric operation, Black race, and BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2 were associated with clinically meaningful differences in %TWL. CONCLUSIONS Our findings combined with many others support a move away from extensive screening and selection of patients at the time of surgery to a focus on improving access to this treatment.

A Prospective Study on the Diagnoses for Abdominal Pain After Bariatric Surgery: The OPERATE Study. Obes Surg 2023; 33:3017-3027. [PMID: 37563516 PMCID: PMC10514148 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-023-06756-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Revised: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/12/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Long-term follow-up after bariatric surgery (BS) reveals high numbers of patients with abdominal pain that often remains unexplained. The aim of this prospective study was to give an overview of diagnoses for abdominal pain, percentage of unexplained complaints, number and yield of follow-up visits, and time to establish a diagnosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who visited the Spaarne Gasthuis Hospital, The Netherlands, between December 2020 and December 2021 for abdominal pain after BS, were eligible and followed throughout the entire episode of abdominal pain. Distinction was made between presumed and definitive diagnoses. RESULTS The study comprised 441 patients with abdominal pain; 401 (90.9%) females, 380 (87.7%) had Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, mean (SD) % total weight loss was 31.4 (10.5), and median (IQR) time after BS was 37.0 (11.0-66.0) months. Most patients had 1-5 follow-up visits. Readmissions and reoperations were present in 212 (48.1%) and 164 (37.2%) patients. At the end of the episode, 88 (20.0%) patients had a presumed diagnosis, 183 (41.5%) a definitive diagnosis, and 170 (38.5%) unexplained complaints. Most common definitive diagnoses were cholelithiasis, ulcers, internal herniations, and presumed diagnoses irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome, and constipation. Median (IQR) time to presumed diagnoses, definitive diagnoses, or unexplained complaints was 16.0 (3.8-44.5), 2.0 (0.0-31.5), and 13.5 (1.0-53.8) days (p < 0.001). Patients with IBS more often had unexplained complaints (OR 95%CI: 4.457 [1.455-13.654], p = 0.009). At the end, 71 patients (16.1%) still experienced abdominal pain. CONCLUSION Over a third of abdominal complaints after BS remains unexplained. Most common diagnoses were cholelithiasis, ulcers, and internal herniations.

Abstract
PURPOSE Potential negative effects of metabolic surgery on skeletal integrity remain a concern, since long-term data of different surgical approaches are poor. This study aimed to describe changes in bone metabolism in subjects with obesity undergoing both Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG). METHODS A single center, retrospective, observational clinical study on real-world data was performed enrolling subjects undergoing metabolic surgery. RESULTS 123 subjects were enrolled (males 31: females 92; ages 48.2 ± 7.9 years). All patients were evaluated until 16.9 ± 8.1 months after surgery, while a small group was evaluated up to 4.5 years. All patients were treated after surgery with calcium and vitamin D integration. Both calcium and phosphate serum levels significantly increased after metabolic surgery and remained stable during follow-up. These trends did not differ between RYGB and SG (p = 0.245). Ca/P ratio decreased after surgery compared to baseline (p < 0.001) and this decrease remained among follow-up visits. While 24-h urinary calcium remained stable across all visits, 24-h urinary phosphate showed lower levels after surgery (p = 0.014), also according to surgery technique. Parathyroid hormone decreased (p < 0.001) and both vitamin D (p < 0.001) and C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (p = 0.001) increased after surgery. CONCLUSION We demonstrated that calcium and phosphorous metabolism shows slight modification even after several years since metabolic surgery, irrespective of calcium and vitamin D supplementation. This different set point is characterized by a phosphate serum levels increase, together with a persistent bone loss, suggesting that supplementation alone may not ensure the maintenance of bone health in these patients.

One-anastomosis gastric bypass has now become the third most commonly performed bariatric technique worldwide. However, as a consequence of the configuration of this surgery, it can present some chronic complications (anastomotic mouth ulcers and biliary reflux) that physicians must come to better understand and assess. In this narrative review, we aimed to update our knowledge of both the diagnosis and treatment of these two complications in the context of bariatric surgeries. We concluded that a series of pre-, intra-, and postoperative preventive strategies should be considered by surgeons to help reduce the appearance of these complications.

Clin Nutr ESPEN 2023; 57:58-64. [PMID: 37739709 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2023.06.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2022] [Revised: 04/29/2023] [Accepted: 06/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Bariatric Surgery (BS) is a therapeutic option in patients with severe obesity whose non-surgical techniques have failed. No work has previously explored trajectories of weight loss and how long this was maintained. Aim of study is to describe effect of BS and nutritional intervention on body weight trend in patients with obesity. METHODS 792 patients who underwent BS from 1996 to 2021 were included. The Protocol provides Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG), Vertical Gastroplasty (VBG) and Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (GB). %Total Weight Loss (%TWL) and %Excess Weight Loss (%EWL) were evaluated in three cohort of patients. Cumulative incidence of clinical goal after surgery was calculated at two and five years after BS. RESULTS At two years of follow-up, average %TWL and %EWL were 31.2% (95% CI = 29.0-33.4%) and 71% (95% CI = 65.4-76.5%) for VBG, 34.7% (95% CI = 33.8-35.6%) and 78.0% (95% CI = 75.9-89.1%) for GB and 33.8% (95% CI = 32.5-35.1%) and 68.8% (95% CI = 66.1-71.6%) for LSG. At two years from surgery the cumulative incidence of clinical goal was 70.7% (95% CI = 59.1-79.1%) for VBG, 86.4% (95% CI = 82.4-89.6%) for GB and 83.4% (95% CI = 76.0-87.1%) for LSG. At five years from surgery, average % TWL and % EWL were 22.5% (95% CI = 10.2-34.8%) and 58.2% (95% CI = 28.4-88.1%) for VBG, 31.8% (95% CI = 30.2-33.3%) and 70.8% (95% CI = 67.5-74.1%) for GB and 29.5% (95% CI = 26.2-32.8%) and 62.0% (95% CI = 53.4-70.6%) for LSG respectively. At five years after having reached clinical goal the share of people who were able to maintain their weight was 49.5% (95% CI = 30.8-79.6%) for VBG, 69.5% (95% CI = 58.3-82.8%) for GB and 55.9% (95% CI = 42.1-74.3%) for LSG. The median time of clinical goal maintaining was 4.8 years for VBG (95% CI lower limit = 4.1), 6.6 years for GB (95% CI lower limit = 6.2) and 5.3 years for LSG (95% CI lower limit = 4.8). CONCLUSIONS Our work confirm effectiveness of BS in patients with obesity and show that who do not reach clinical goal within 2 years, hardly will reach it later and suggest necessity for a medium and long-term follow-up to prevent weight regain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is a safe and highly effective treatment for morbid obesity and related co-morbidities. While MBS access and insurance coverage have greatly improved, sex and racial disparities remain in utilization of MBS. OBJECTIVE To identify novel intrinsic factors that may explain Black underutilization of surgical treatments for weight management. SETTING This study was conducted in metropolitan communities of Western New York. METHODS We conducted semistructured face-to-face interviews with 27 adult Black men with a history of obesity and at least 2 obesity-related conditions (diabetes, hypertension, and/or chronic kidney disease [CKD]), about their attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, and habits related to obesity and obesity management. Interview transcripts were reviewed using thematic analysis for patterns and themes. RESULTS Most participants did not perceive obesity as a serious health condition and those who had weight-loss goals did not aim for a healthy body mass index (BMI). Trust and respectful communication with physician were very important in making healthcare decisions. MBS was perceived as extreme and dangerous option for weight loss, and only participants with severe symptoms such as chronic pain were open to discussing MBS with their providers. Participants acknowledged lack of role models of similar background who had successfully undergone MBS for obesity. CONCLUSIONS This study identified misinformation about risks and benefits of MBS and lack of community role models as important factors contributing to Black men's unwillingness to consider MBS. Further research is needed to facilitate patient-provider communication about weight and improve provider's ability and motivation for weight management in primary care settings.

Abstract
Obesity is a chronic disease that increases morbidity and mortality and adversely affects quality of life. The rapid rise of obesity has outpaced the development and deployment of effective therapeutic interventions, thereby creating a global health crisis. The presentation, complications, and response to obesity treatments vary, yet lifestyle modification, which is the foundational therapeutic intervention for obesity, is often "one size fits all." The concept of personalized medicine uses genetic and phenotypic information as a guide for disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment and has been successfully applied in diseases such as cancer, but not in obesity. As we gain insight into the pathophysiologic mechanisms of obesity and its phenotypic expression, specific pathways can be targeted to yield a greater, more sustained therapeutic impact in an individual patient with obesity. A phenotype-based pharmacologic treatment approach utilizing objective measures to classify patients into predominant obesity mechanism groups resulted in greater weight loss (compared with a non-phenotype-based approach) in a recent study by Acosta and colleagues. In this review, we discuss the application of lifestyle modifications, behavior therapy and pharmacotherapy using the obesity phenotype-based approach as a framework.

Abstract
Obesity in paediatrics has become one of the most serious public health concerns worldwide. Paediatric obesity leads to increased adult obesity and is associated with several comorbidities, both physical and psychological. Within gastroenterology, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is now the most common cause of paediatric liver disease and the most common cause of liver transplantation in young adults. Treatment for NAFLD largely focuses on treatment of obesity with weight loss strategies. Unfortunately, the traditional method of weight loss using multicomponent lifestyle modification (dietary changes, increased exercise and behavioural modification) has often led to disappointing results. In adult patients with obesity, treatment strategies have evolved to include bariatric surgery and, more recently, bariatric endoscopy. In paediatrics, the obesity and NAFLD epidemics will likely require this variety of treatment to address children in a personalized manner. Here, we present a review of paediatric obesity, paediatric NAFLD and the various treatment strategies to date. We focus on non-pharmacologic and emerging therapies, including bariatric surgery and bariatric endoscopy-based treatments. With such a large population of children and adolescents with obesity, further development of these treatments, including paediatric-focused clinical trials, is essential for these emerging modalities.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) is commonly used in general surgery, but its use in bariatric surgery is still marginal. Moreover, post-operative leaks remain a dramatic complication after this surgery and the leak tests available have poor performance preventing them. The aim of the present paper is to assess the use and utility of a new innovative technology based on quantitative measures of fluorescence signal intensity. MATERIAL AND METHODS From January 2022 to June 2022, 40 consecutive patients with a median age of 51 years and a preoperative median body mass index of 45.2 kg/m2 underwent bariatric surgery with quantitative ICG fluorescence angiography in our center. Two different types of surgery, based on the multidisciplinary evaluation, were performed: laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB). For ICG visualization, quantitative laparoscopic ICG platform was used to identify the vascular supply. RESULTS Thirteen patients underwent LSG and 27 patients underwent OAGB. ICG was performed in all patients with no adverse events. An adequate and satisfactory blood supply was assessed in each case. No case of post-operative leak was detected. CONCLUSIONS The quantitative ICG-FA seems to be a useful and promising tool for the prevention of complications in bariatric surgery but further studies are mandatory.

Abstract
Gastrogastric fistulas are rare complications following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery and are characterized by a fistulous connection between the gastric pouch and the remnant stomach. The presentation is often variable and a high-index of suspicion must be maintained for accurate and timely diagnosis. In this case report, we provide a detailed review of the technical steps taken to successfully resect a gastrogastric fistula en-bloc laparoscopically with an unremarkable post-operative course.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Bariatric surgery has been proposed as a treatment option for type 2 diabetes, but there is limited research on its efficacy and the use of standardized outcome measures. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of bariatric surgery in managing type 2 diabetes and to assess the BAROS protocol postoperatively. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in southern Saudi Arabia, involving 346 bariatric surgery patients aged 18-60. This study collected data through an electronic questionnaire distributed via a Telegram group and Twitter hashtag. Anthropometric data, postoperative complications, and the evolution of obesity-related comorbidities were collected. The quality of life was evaluated using the Moorehead-Ardelt questionnaire of the BAROS protocol. The total BAROS score was classified as "Insufficient", "Moderate", "Good", "Very good", or "Excellent", considering the presence of comorbidities. The data were analyzed using SPSS software ver.23. Results: The mean age of the participants was 30.97 ± 8.49 years, and 70.81% were female. Sleeve Vertical Gastrectomy was the most common surgical technique used (n = 336). The excess weight loss percentage (EWL%) was 70.55 ± 22.57%, and 27.75% of participants achieved complete remission of type 2 diabetes. The total BAROS score was "Excellent" for 40.17% of participants and "Moderate" for 27.16%. The presence of comorbidities was negatively correlated with the BAROS score (r = -0.651, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Bariatric surgery effectively manages type 2 diabetes with a high rate of EWL% and complete remission. The BAROS protocol is a valuable tool for assessing the quality of life postoperatively, with most participants achieving a "Moderate" to "Excellent" score. Comorbidities negatively impact the BAROS score, highlighting the importance of managing these conditions postoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a crucial surgical procedure for patients with obesity. However, epigenetic research in LSG is still in its infancy from the perspective of adipogenesis. OBJECTIVES This work aims to develop a model to predict 1 year excess weight loss percentage (EWL)% following LSG in Chinese patients with obesity by examining the DNA methylation profiles of intraoperative visceral fat. SETTING University hospital, Beijing, China. METHODS Firstly, we classified patients with obesity as either the satisfied group or unsatisfied group depending on whether their EWL% was 50% or higher at 1 year following LSG. After that, we analyzed differentially methylated sites (DMSs) between the satisfied group and unsatisfied group. DMSs were mapped to the corresponding differentially methylated genes. Then, we took the intersection of adipogenesis-related genes and differentially methylated genes and obtained adipogenesis-related DMSs. Next, hub methylation sites were identified by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator analysis. Finally, a nomogram was developed to predict EWL% of Chinese patients with obesity at 1 -year following LSG. RESULTS A total of 26 patients with obesity were enrolled in the study, including 13 in the satisfied group and 13 in the unsatisfied group. A total of 16 genes and 31 DMSs were involved in the adipogenesis signaling pathway. Finally, 4 hub methylation sites (cg06093355, cg00294552, cg00753924, and cg17092065) were identified and a predictive nomogram was established. CONCLUSIONS The predictive nomogram based on methylation sites including cg06093355, cg00294552, cg00753924, and cg17092065 can predict EWL% at 1 year following LSG in Chinese patients with obesity efficiently.

Abstract
PURPOSE Suboptimal response is one of the major problems for bariatric surgery, and constructing an individualized model for predicting outcomes of bariatric surgery is essential. Thus, the aim of this study is to develop a nomogram to predict the response to bariatric surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS 509 patients who underwent bariatric surgery between 2019 to 2020 from 6 centers were retrieved and assessed. Multiple Imputation was used to replace missing data. Patients with %TWL ≥ 20% 1 year after bariatric surgery were classified as patients with optimal response, while the others were patients with suboptimal response. A web-based nomogram was constructed and validated. ROC curve and calibration curve were used to determine the predictive ability of our model. RESULTS 56 (11.0%) patients were classified as patients with suboptimal response, and they showed advanced age, lower pre-operative BMI, smaller waist circumference, higher fasting glucose, higher HbA1c and lower fasting insulin compared to patients with optimal response. A forward likelihood ratio logistic regression analysis indicated that age (OR = 0.943, 95% CI: 0.915-0.971, p < 0.001), pre-operative BMI (OR = 1.109, 95% CI: 1.002-1.228, p = 0.046) and waist circumference (OR = 1.043, 95% CI: 1.000-1.088, p = 0.048) were essential factors contributing to the response to bariatric surgery. Lastly, a web-based nomogram was constructed to predict the response to bariatric surgery and demonstrated an AUC of 0.829 and 0.798 upon internal and external validation. CONCLUSION Age, BMI and fasting glucose were proved to be essential factors influencing the response to bariatric surgery. The nomogram constructed in this study demonstrated good adaptivity.

The role of diabetes severity scores in predicting disease remission in patients with BMI > 50 kg/m 2 undergoing Roux-En-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy: a multi-centered study. Surg Endosc 2023; 37:7114-7120. [PMID: 37311891 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-023-10186-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Roux-En-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) have shown to be two of the most effective interventions to enhance weight loss and associated type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remission. However, a significant number of patients, particularly with BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2, do not achieve T2DM remission after bariatric surgeries. The individualized metabolic surgery (IMS) and Robert et al. scores are two scores that characterize T2DM severity and predict disease remission after bariatric surgeries. We aim to assess the validity of these scores in predicting T2DM remission in our cohort of patients with BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2 with long-term follow-up. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study of all patients with T2DM, have a BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2, and underwent RYGB or SG in two different US bariatric surgery centers of excellence. The study endpoints included validating the IMS and Robert et al. scores in our cohort and evaluating the presence of any significant differences between RYGB and SG in terms of T2DM remission predicted by each of these scores. Data are presented as mean (standard deviation). RESULTS A total of 160 patients (66.3% females, mean age 51.0 [11.8] years) had IMS score and 238 patients (66.4% females, age 50.8 [11.4] years) had Robert et al. score data. Both scores predicted T2DM remission in our patients with BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2 with ROC AUC 0.79 for the IMS score and 0.83 for Robert et al. score. Patients with lower IMS scores and higher Robert et al. scores had higher T2DM remission rates. RYGB and SG had similar T2DM remission rates over the long-term follow-up. CONCLUSION We demonstrate the ability of the IMS and Robert et al. scores to predict T2DM remission in patients with BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2. T2DM remission was shown to decrease with more severe IMS scores and lower Robert et al. scores.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery is considered as an effective therapy for those with morbid obesity. Preoperative weight loss with a very low-calorie diet is commonly used to ease the bariatric surgery. Pre-habilitation increases functional and physiological capacity. The study demonstrated the changes of body composition and functional status following short term pre-habilitation before bariatric surgery. METHOD This prospective study targeted those admitted for bariatric surgery. Participants underwent the biweekly pre-habilitation program included an individualized high whey-based protein very low-calorie (VLCHP) enteral regime (600-900 kcal/day) and moderate intensive exercise before bariatric surgery. Body composition and waist circumference were assessed after fortnight. Participants were segregated into morbid obese (MOG) (BMI <49 kg/m2) and super morbid obese group (SMOG) (BMI ≥50 kg/m2) for analysis. RESULT Majority of participants were female (71%) with median age 36.0 years old (MOG) and 34.3 years old (SMOG) respectively. SMOG achieved significant greater loss in weight (-7.4 kg vs -4.0 kg), fat percentage (-4.4% vs -1.7%) and fat mass (-9.9 kg vs -3.8 kg); but MOG had a significant increment in muscle mass (3.2 kg vs 2.8 kg) as compared to SOG (p < 0.001). DISCUSSION Body composition measurement and changes remain critical in nutritional assessment to achieve successful surgery and minimize nutritional complication. Whey-based VLCHP attenuates muscle loss and preserves myofibrillar protein synthesis; promotes a better muscle strength and mass growth during periods of negative energy balance combined with moderately intense aerobic activity. CONCLUSION Individualized whey-based VLCHP enteral regime and moderate intensive exercise encourage weight loss; increases muscle mass and strength; improve function status prior to bariatric surgery.

Abstract
The complex and multifactorial etiology of obesity creates challenges for its effective long-term management. Increasingly, the gut microbiome is reported to play a key role in the maintenance of host health and wellbeing, with its dysregulation associated with chronic diseases such as obesity. The gut microbiome is hypothesized to contribute to obesity development and pathogenesis via several pathways involving food digestion, energy harvest and storage, production of metabolites influencing satiety, maintenance of gut barrier integrity, and bile acid metabolism. Moreover, the gut microbiome likely contributes to the metabolic, inflammatory, and satiety benefits and sustained weight-loss effects following bariatric procedures such as sleeve gastrectomy. While the field of gut microbiome research in relation to obesity and sleeve gastrectomy outcomes is largely in its infancy, the gut microbiome nonetheless holds great potential for understanding some of the mechanisms behind sleeve gastrectomy outcomes as well as for optimizing post-surgery benefits. This review will explore the current literature within the field as well as discuss the current limitations, including the small sample size, variability in methodological approaches, and lack of associative data, which need to be addressed in future studies.

Abstract
Background Bariatric surgery aims to improve quality of life by means of weight loss. Obesity-related physical and psychological health problems should improve, but long-term data are scarce. Objectives To evaluate preoperative physical and mental health problems perceived by the patient and the association with weight loss and quality of life, 5 years after bariatric surgery. Methods 101 persons (response rate 67%) who had had bariatric surgery an average of 4.6 years before this study completed a written survey on obesity-related physical and psychological health problems and three psychological questionnaires collecting information on eating behavior and quality of life. Over half of the participants (55%) had had a laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding. Results Preoperatively reported health problems improved but were not necessarily associated with weight loss. Minimal improvement in tiredness, shame and weight instability were associated with significantly less weight loss. Preoperative type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) improved but participants had significantly less weight loss and more dissatisfaction regarding the bariatric trajectory than participants without T2D. Eating concerns, emotional eating and external eating improved but not restrained eating. Compared to the Dutch population reference, most quality of life scores of the participants were lower. Conclusion In this analysis, participants did report satisfaction although from a patients' perspective, improvements of weight and health did not necessarily lead to satisfaction regarding the bariatric trajectory. Participants with postoperative reported fatigue and shame as well as participants with preoperative T2D showed significant less weight loss. More long-term research is necessary to close the current knowledge gap.

Abstract
Obesity is a global health concern, necessitating effective weight-loss interventions. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of semaglutide, a pharmacotherapeutic option, with bariatric surgery, a commonly utilized surgical intervention, for weight reduction. A systematic review of clinical trials, including the STEP (Semaglutide Treatment Effect in People) trials, sustain trials, pioneer trials, and the STAMPEDE (Surgical Treatment and Medications Potentially Eradicate Diabetes Efficiently) trial, was conducted to evaluate the outcomes of these interventions. The analysis of the clinical trials revealed that semaglutide demonstrated significant weight reduction in participants. However, adverse effects such as gastrointestinal (GI) disturbances, increased pulse rate, and rare cases of thyroid cancer were observed. Long-term effects showed partial weight regain and a return of certain cardiometabolic variables to baseline levels after semaglutide withdrawal. Comparatively, bariatric surgery, as demonstrated in the Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (LABS) consortium and supported by the STAMPEDE trial, exhibited higher efficacy in weight reduction and the management of obesity-induced complications such as diabetes. The STAMPEDE trial demonstrated that bariatric surgery, specifically Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG), led to a significantly higher percentage of patients achieving desired diabetes treatment targets compared to medical therapy alone. While bariatric surgery showed superior efficacy, it also carried a higher risk of complications. In contrast, semaglutide presented a noninvasive alternative with significant weight reduction and lower incidences of adverse effects. In conclusion, this study highlights that bariatric surgery, such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, remains a highly effective intervention for weight loss and management of obesity-induced complications. However, semaglutide represents a valuable noninvasive alternative, offering significant weight reduction and lower risks of adverse effects. The choice between these interventions should be based on individual patient characteristics and a comprehensive assessment of the risk-benefit profile.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obesity is a major risk factor in the development of endometrial cancer (EC) in young patients of reproductive age. Fertility sparing treatment is a viable option for a select group of patients with early EC, and involves systemic and intra-uterine hormonal therapy. Weight loss has been associated with improved outcomes in this group. Bariatric surgery (BS) has been shown to be the most efficient and durable method of weight loss in obese patients. However, there is a paucity of data studying the benefit of BS as part of fertility sparing treatment. METHODS We present a retrospective case series of five patients who are undergoing fertility sparing treatment for early EC, who also underwent BS for treatment of obesity and related comorbidities. We aim to show early regression of EC for all the patients and also report on the other health benefits of BS. RESULTS All five patients in the series achieved regression of EC within 6 months of undergoing BS. They also achieved significant weight loss consistent with previous studies, and three patients who had comorbidities related to obesity had remission of these conditions. One of the patients with EC regression also managed to conceive with IVF (In-vitro Fertilisation). CONCLUSION Patients on fertility sparing treatment for early EC who underwent BS was associated with early regression within 6 months, significant weight loss and resolution of comorbidities. BS could be a promising component of fertility sparing treatment. Long term, prospective studies are required to confirm the benefits reported in this case series.

Abstract
The global obesity epidemic shows no signs of slowing down. Endoscopic bariatric and metabolic therapies (EBMTs) are being increasingly adopted as treatment options for obesity and obesity-related comorbidities, due to their minimally invasive nature and ease of delivery. According to the site of action along the gastrointestinal tract, EBMTs can be divided into two categories: gastric EBMTs, and small intestine-targeted EBMTs. Unlike gastric EBMTs, which work through a volume-restricting mechanism leading to early satiety and reduced caloric intake, small intestine-targeted EBMTs can be metabolically beneficial through foregut and/or hindgut pathways independent of weight loss, and therefore have great potential for the treatment of obesity-related metabolic comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes. Although none of the small intestine-targeted EBMTs have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to date, their clinical efficacy and safety have been extensively explored in investigational trials. This review aims to summarize and provide a comprehensive understanding of small intestine-targeted EBMTs in clinical and preclinical settings, and to further discuss their potential mechanisms of action.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bariatric surgery (BS) has several potential metabolic benefits. However, little is known about its impact on changes in the inflammatory potential of diet and its effect on inflammatory and metabolic markers. This study aimed to assess the short-term beneficial effects of BS on dietary inflammatory potential and inflammatory and metabolic markers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Participants (n = 20) were evaluated 3 months before and after BS. Body mass, body mass index, anthropometric measurements, fat mass, fat-free mass, visceral fat, skeletal muscle mass, basal metabolic rate, serum lipids, HOMA-IR, QUICKI and inflammatory markers, including leptin, adiponectin, adiponectin/leptin ratio and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), were evaluated. Diet data were collected using a 3-day diet record and the dietary inflammatory index (DII®) and energy-adjusted dietary inflammatory index (E-DIITM) scores were computed. RESULTS There was a reduction in DII® (2.56 vs 2.13) and E-DIITM (2.18 vs 0.45) indicating an improvement in inflammatory nutritional profile. Moreover, there were increases in the adiponectin/leptin ratio (0.08 vs 0.21) and QUICKI scores (0.31 vs 0.37), and reductions in leptin (36.66 vs 11.41 ng/ml) and HOMA-IR scores (3.93 vs 1.50). There were also improvements in body composition and anthropometric parameters. CONCLUSIONS BS promotes changes in metabolic profile, inflammatory state and food intake and these modifications appeared to be associated with improvements in diet-related inflammation, an increase in the adiponectin/leptin ratio and a reduction in leptin. These results contribute to knowledge on the contribution bariatric surgery can make to the treatment of obesity and the reduction of related comorbidities.

Sharma D, Meena S, Anand G. Randomized single blind trial to compare the short term post-operative outcome and cost analysis of laparoscopic versus ultrasound guided transversus abdominis plane block in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Surg Endosc 2023; 37:7136-7143. [PMID: 37328592 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-023-10189-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic Bariatric surgery despite being minimally invasive can cause moderate to severe pain in the immediate postoperative period. Adequate pain management remains a major challenge. Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block is a regional anesthesia technique which blocks the sensory nerve supply of anterior-lateral abdominal wall. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES Primary: evaluate Laparoscopic versus ultrasound (USG)-guided TAP block on immediate post-operative analgesia after undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Secondary: compare cost effectiveness of Laparoscopic versus ultrasound-guided TAP block after undergoing bariatric surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Randomized Single blind study undertaken after sample size was calculated by (N) = 2(Zα + Z1-β)2σ2/δ2 which proposed 60 patients in each group. Block randomization was done after excluding redo/revision surgeries and patients were alloted Group I: Laparoscopic-guided TAP block & Group II: USG-guided TAP block. In both groups, Bilaterally, 20 ml (0.25%) bupivacaine was injected immediately after completion of bariatric surgery. SPSS v23 (IBM Corp.) was used for analysis. RESULTS Group I (N = 61 53F/8 M) & Group II (N = 60 42F/18 M) were demographically comparable. Group I (3.58 ± 0.67) had significantly lower procedure time compared to Group II (12.47 ± 1.61) (p-Value < 0.001). First rescue analgesia was administered at 7.07 ± 2.61 h in Group I vs 7.21 ± 2.39 h in Group II (p-Value 0.659). In first 24 h rescue analgesic dose requirement in Group I was 1.29 ± 0.53 vs 1.39 ± 0.50 in Group II (p-Value 0.487). VAS scores during rest and movement till 24 h post-operative were statistically similar. Procedural cost was more in group II. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic-guided TAP block is a safe and cost-effective approach for postoperative pain management after bariatric surgery and provides similar comparable analgesic effect as the USG-TAP block. Laparoscopic TAP is a surgeon delivered, easy to administer and significantly less time-consuming procedure which is feasible even when an ultrasound machine is not available.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bariatric surgery has grown in popularity over the past two decades, especially in the Asia-Pacific. Correspondingly, researchers' interest in this field has also increased. This study aims to perform a bibliometric analysis of publications from Asia-Pacific represented by the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders Asia-Pacific Chapter (IFSO-APC) and investigate the relevant factors that might affect the publications. METHODS The search terms for bariatric surgery were searched in Web of Science focusing on the period 2000-2021. Bibliometric analysis was performed after screening the search results. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed on the number of publications and corresponding indicators obtained from official agencies. RESULTS A total of 9,547 publications in IFSO-APC were retrieved, of which China had the largest number with 2,782 publications. Authors and journals with major contributions were listed. The authors' or affiliations' cooperation networks mainly were limited to domestic. "Bariatric surgery" was the most frequent keyword with 2,063 times and also the largest cluster. "Morbid obesity" was the strongest citation bursts. Multivariate analysis found that the number of publications in each country/region was associated with body mass index ≥25 kg/m2, gross domestic product, and total population. CONCLUSION Generally, Asia-Pacific represented by IFSO-APC scientific publications on bariatric surgery has grown significantly in the last two decades, but cooperation between countries/regions should be strengthened. "Morbid obesity" is the focus and frontier of research in this field.

Abstract
Obesity is a growing public health problem associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and cancer. Here, we identify microRNA-22 (miR-22) as an essential rheostat involved in the control of lipid and energy homeostasis as well as the onset and maintenance of obesity. We demonstrate through knockout and transgenic mouse models that miR-22 loss-of-function protects against obesity and hepatic steatosis, while its overexpression promotes both phenotypes even when mice are fed a regular chow diet. Mechanistically, we show that miR-22 controls multiple pathways related to lipid biogenesis and differentiation. Importantly, genetic ablation of miR-22 favors metabolic rewiring towards higher energy expenditure and browning of white adipose tissue, suggesting that modulation of miR-22 could represent a viable therapeutic strategy for treatment of obesity and other metabolic disorders.

Abstract
The rise of obesity and associated fatal diseases has taken a massive toll worldwide. Despite the existing pharmaceuticals and bariatric surgeries, these approaches manifest limited efficacy or accompany various side effects. Therefore, researchers seek to facilitate the prolonged and specific delivery of therapeutics. Or else, to mimic the essential part of "gastric bypass" by physically blocking excessive absorption via less invasive methods. To achieve these goals, polymeric biomaterials have gained tremendous interest recently. They are known for synthesizing hydrogels, microneedle patches, mucoadhesive coatings, polymer conjugates, and so forth. In this Review, we provide insights into the current studies of polymeric biomaterials in the prevention and treatment of obesity, inspiring future improvements in this regime of study.

Trabecular Bone Score Preceding and during a 2-Year Follow-Up after Sleeve Gastrectomy: Pitfalls and New Insights. Nutrients 2023; 15:3481. [PMID: 37571418 PMCID: PMC10421136 DOI: 10.3390/nu15153481] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Bariatric surgery (BS) can have negative effects on bone health. Bone microarchitecture quality evaluation using the trabecular bone score (TBS) has not been described in patients after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). To test the hypothesis that the TBS is clinically useful for this population, we evaluated changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and the TBS in a longitudinal cohort study following SG. The measurements before surgery and after 12 and 24 postoperative months were as follows: weight, height, BMI, waist circumference (WC), BMD and TBS. The results at baseline showed the following: a mean BMI of 43 ± 0.56, TBS of 1.25 ± 0.02, lumbar spine BMD T-score of -0.4 ± 0.93, TBS T-score of -2.30 ± 0.21, significantly lower than BMD-T-score, and associated with a BMD-T-TBS-T gap (T-gap) of -2.05 ± 1.26 (-0.24 ± 0.13). One year after surgery, the TBS had significantly improved (+12.12% ± 1.5), leading to a T-gap of -0.296 ± 0.14, which remained stable at 2 years post-surgery. A correlation analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between the T-gap and WC (r = -0.43 p = 0.004). Our interpretation is that abdominal fat may interfere with image acquisition via increased tissue thickness, leading to a false low TBS at baseline. In conclusion, TBS should be interpreted with caution in patients with obesity and elevated WC. Additionally, we show that after SG, the LS microarchitecture measured using the TBS is partially degraded in up to 25% of patients. Further studies are warranted to assess hip bone microarchitecture changes after bariatric surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) on patients with obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science to identify relevant studies published prior to December 2, 2022. Meta-analysis was performed on menstrual irregularity, total testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), glucolipid metabolism indicators, and body mass index (BMI) following SG. RESULTS Six studies and 218 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Following SG, menstrual irregularity significantly decreased (odds ratio [OR] 0.03; 95% confidence intervals [CIs], 0.00-0.24; P=0.001). Additionally, SG can lower total testosterone levels (MD -0.73; 95% CIs -0.86-0.60; P< 0.0001), as well as BMI (MD -11.59; 95% CIs -13.10-10.08; P<0.0001). A significant increase was observed in the levels of SHBG and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) after SG. In addition to reducing fasting blood glucose, insulin, triglycerides (TG), and low-density lipoprotein levels, SG significantly reduced low-density lipoprotein levels as well. CONCLUSIONS Following SG, we firstly demonstrated significant improvements in menstrual irregularity, testosterone and SHGB levels, glycolipid metabolism indicators, and BMI. Therefore, SG may be considered as a new option for the clinical treatment of patients with obesity and PCOS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fatty liver disease in the absence of excessive alcohol consumption is an increasingly common condition with a global prevalence of ~ 25-30% and is also associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Since systemic metabolic dysfunction underlies its pathogenesis, the term metabolic (dysfunction)-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has been proposed for this condition. MAFLD is closely intertwined with obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus and atherogenic dyslipidemia, which are established cardiovascular risk factors. Unlike CVD, which has received attention in the literature on fatty liver disease, the CVD risk associated with MAFLD is often underestimated, especially among Cardiologists. METHODS AND RESULTS A multidisciplinary panel of fifty-two international experts comprising Hepatologists, Endocrinologists, Diabetologists, Cardiologists and Family Physicians from six continents (Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Africa and Oceania) participated in a formal Delphi survey and developed consensus statements on the association between MAFLD and the risk of CVD. Statements were developed on different aspects of CVD risk, ranging from epidemiology to mechanisms, screening, and management. CONCULSIONS The expert panel identified important clinical associations between MAFLD and the risk of CVD that could serve to increase awareness of the adverse metabolic and cardiovascular outcomes of MAFLD. Finally, the expert panel also suggests potential areas for future research.

[PMID: 37343192 DOI: 10.1097/sle.0000000000001189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/23/2023]
Abstract
AIM We aimed to compare 1-year postoperative results of patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with transit bipartition (LSG-TB) and transit loop bipartition (LSG-TLB) and mini gastric bypass (MGB). PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a retrospective comparison of 2 novel bariatric surgery techniques with MGB. Primary outcome measure of the study was a rate of T2DM remission. Secondary outcomes included excess body mass index (BMI) loss, improvement in hepatosteatosis, and duration of operation. Revision surgery needs were also assessed. RESULTS Overall, 32 patients underwent the LSG-TLB, 15 underwent LSG-TB, and 50 underwent MGB. Mean age and sex distribution were comparable for all groups. Presurgical BMI was similar in MGB and LSG + TB groups, whereas LSG + TLB group had significantly lower BMI values compared with the MGB group. In both groups, BMI values reduced significantly compared with respective baseline values. Excess BMI loss was significantly higher in patients who underwent LSG-TLB compared with patients treated with LSG-TB and MGB. Bariatric surgery procedures lasted shorter in LSG-TLB than in LSG-TB. However, the shortest of all was MGB. The remission of T2DM rates were 71% and 73.3% in LSG-TLB and LSG-TB groups, respectively ( P > 9.999). The rate of revision surgeries was comparable in both groups. CONCLUSION In conclusion, LSG-TLB took less time and provided significantly higher excess BMI loss compared with LSG-TB. T2DM remission and improvement rates were similar in both groups. LSG-TLB seemed like a promising bariatric surgery technique in patients with obesity and T2DM.

Abstract
The rising prevalence of metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) poses a major challenge to global health. Existing therapeutic approaches have limitations, and there is a need for new, safe, and less invasive treatments. Interventional metabolic therapy is a new addition to the treatment arsenal for metabolic disorders. This review focuses on two interventional techniques: bariatric arterial embolization (BAE) and endovascular denervation (EDN). BAE involves embolizing specific arteries feeding ghrelin-producing cells to suppress appetite and promote weight loss. EDN targets nerves that regulate metabolic organs to improve glycemic control in T2DM patients. We describe the current state of these techniques, their mechanisms of action, and the available safety and effectiveness data. We also propose a new territory called "Interventional Metabology" to encompass these and other interventional approaches to treating metabolic disorders.

Abstract
PURPOSE Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most popular primary bariatric metabolic procedure worldwide but severe complications are still reported, and there is no ideal technique to avoid them. This study analyses the impact of oversewing (OS) and gastropexy (GP) on complication rate, early dyspeptic and late de novo GERD symptoms after LSG. MATERIAL AND METHOD A case-control study was conducted on patients with obesity who underwent LSG. The total cohort was divided in group A (control group) - patients with no oversewing (OS) or gastropexy (GP), group B - patients with OS but no gastropexy and group C - patients with both OS and GP performed during LSG. RESULTS We included 272 patients with obesity with a mean BMI 42.9±6.94 kg/m2, 96 patients in group A, 90 patients in group B and 86 in group C with no statistical differences between them. We had 5 cases of postoperative hemorrhage (4 in group A) and three patients who developed leaks (2 in group A and one in group B). Prolonged and severe early dyspeptic episodes and after 6 months reflux symptoms were significantly more in groups A and B (p<0.05). The operative time was longer in group B and C (p<0.05) but with no difference in procedure -related morbidity and in hospital length of stay. CONCLUSION Adding both OS and GP to LSG reduce complications rate with no influence on procedure-related postoperative morbidity and in-hospital length of stay. GP reduces early postoperative dyspeptic and de novo GERD symptoms after LSG.

Abstract
This study examined baseline patient characteristics as predictors of early weight loss, defined as any weight loss within the first month of treatment, among patients receiving adjunctive behavioural treatments for loss-of-control (LOC) eating about 6 months after bariatric surgery. Participants were 126 patients in a treatment trial for LOC-eating (roughly 6 months postoperatively) categorized by early weight change following 1 month of treatment. Early weight-loss, defined as any weight loss following 1 month of treatment, and weight-gain, defined as any weight gain, groups were compared on sociodemographic and clinical variables assessed using a battery of reliably administered diagnostic and clinical interviews and established self-report measures, and on surgery-related variables (time since surgery, percent total [%TWL], and percent excess weight loss). Most patients (n = 99; 78.6%) lost weight after the first month of adjunctive treatments. Black patients (n = 24; 61.5%) were significantly less likely to achieve early weight loss compared to patients identifying as White (n = 60; 83%) or 'other' (n = 15; 100%) which was not predicted by any other sociodemographic variable. Severity of eating-disorder psychopathology, psychiatric comorbidity, and a broad range of psychosocial measures were not significantly predictive of early weight changes. Duration since surgery and percent weight loss from time of surgery to study enrolment 6-months post-surgery differed by early weight-loss and weight-gain groups. Findings suggest that among post-bariatric surgery patients receiving adjunctive behavioural treatments for LOC-eating, baseline patient characteristics, aside from race and surgery-related variables, do not predict early weight loss.

Abstract
Postoperative anastomotic leaks are the most feared complications after gastric surgery. For diagnostics clinicians mostly rely on clinical symptoms such as fever and tachycardia, often developing as a result of an already fully developed, i.e., symptomatic, surgical leak. A gastric fluid responsive, dual modality, electronic-free, leak sensor system integrable into surgical adhesive suture support materials is introduced. Leak sensors contain high atomic number carbonates embedded in a polyacrylamide matrix, that upon exposure to gastric fluid convert into gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2 ). CO2 bubbles remain entrapped in the hydrogel matrix, leading to a distinctly increased echogenic contrast detectable by a low-cost and portable ultrasound transducer, while the dissolution of the carbonate species and the resulting diffusion of the cation produces a markedly reduced contrast in computed tomography imaging. The sensing elements can be patterned into a variety of characteristic shapes and can be combined with nonreactive tantalum oxide reference elements, allowing the design of shape-morphing sensing elements visible to the naked eye as well as artificial intelligence-assisted automated detection. In summary, shape-morphing dual modality sensors for the early and robust detection of postoperative complications at deep tissue sites, opening new routes for postoperative patient surveillance using existing hospital infrastructure is reported.

Abstract
PURPOSE Food quality, energy intake, and various eating-related problems have been highlighted as some of the components influencing weight after bariatric surgery. This study aimed to increase our knowledge of patients' perspectives on dietary patterns and eating behaviors during weight regain after bariatric surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS We recruited 4 men and 12 women with obesity and the experience of weight regain after bariatric surgery at an obesity clinic in Stockholm, Sweden. Data were collected during 2018-2019. We conducted a qualitative study, carried out individual semi-structured interviews, and analyzed the recorded and transcribed interview data with thematic analysis. RESULTS Participants had regained 12 to 71% from their lowest weight after gastric bypass surgery performed 3 to 15 years before. They perceived their dietary challenges as overwhelming and had not expected weight management, meal patterns, increasing portion sizes, and appealing energy-dense foods to be problematic after surgery. In addition, difficulties with disordered eating patterns, emotional eating, and increased alcohol intake further contributed to the weight management hurdles. Insufficient nutritional knowledge and lack of support limited participants' ability to avoid weight regain, leading to restrictive eating and dieting without sustained weight loss. CONCLUSION Eating behavior and dietary factors such as lack of nutritional knowledge, emotional eating, or disorganized meal patterns contribute to difficulties with weight management after gastric bypass surgery. Improved counseling may help patients prepare for possible weight regain and remaining challenges with food and eating. The results highlight the importance of regular medical nutrition therapy after gastric bypass surgery.

Abstract
Premenopausal women, who account for more than half of patients for bariatric surgery, are at higher risk of developing postoperative iron deficiency anemia (IDA) than postmenopausal women and men. We aimed at establishing a machine learning model to evaluate the risk of newly onset IDA in premenopausal women 12 months after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Premenopausal women with complete clinical records and undergoing SG were enrolled in this retrospective study. Newly onset IDA after surgery, the main outcome, was defined according to the age- and gender-specific World Health Organization criteria. A linear support vector machine model was developed to predict the risk of IDA after SG with the top five important features identified during feature selection. Four hundred and seven subjects aged 31.0 (Interquartile range (IQR): 26.0-36.0) years with a median follow-up period of 12 (IQR 7-13) months were analyzed. They were divided into a training set and a validation set with 285 and 122 individuals, respectively. Preoperative ferritin, age, hemoglobin, creatinine, and fasting C-peptide were included. The model showed moderate discrimination in both sets (area under curve 0.858 and 0.799, respectively, p < 0.001). The calibration curve indicated acceptable consistency between observed and predicted results in both sets. Moreover, decision curve analysis showed substantial clinical benefits of the model in both sets. Our machine learning model could accurately predict newly onset IDA in Chinese premenopausal women with obesity 12 months after SG. External validation was required before the model was used in clinical practice.

Psychometric Analysis of the Rapid Eating Assessment for Participants-Short Form to Evaluate Dietary Quality in a Pre-Surgical Bariatric Population. Nutrients 2023; 15:3372. [PMID: 37571309 PMCID: PMC10420949 DOI: 10.3390/nu15153372] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 07/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Dietary quality and eating behaviors are essential to evaluating bariatric surgery candidates. The Rapid Eating Assessment for Participants-Short Form (REAP-S) is a previously validated measure of dietary quality suited for use in primary care. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the REAP-S in a pre-surgical bariatric population. This study included data from one academic medical center from August 2020 to August 2022. Variables included socio-demographics, the REAP-S, mental health, and assessments of appetitive traits. Statistical methods included Cronbach's alpha, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and multivariable analyses. A total of 587 adult patients were included in this analysis. The mean score for the REAP-S was 28.32 (SD: 4.02), indicative of relatively moderate dietary quality. The internal consistency of the REAP-S was moderate, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.65. The three-factor CFA model resulted in a comparative fit index of 0.91. Race (p = 0.01), body mass index (p = 0.01), food fussiness (p < 0.0001), food responsiveness (p = 0.005), and socially desirable responses (p = 0.003) were significantly associated with the total REAP-S score. Although the REAP-S's original purpose was to assess dietary quality within a primary care population, it shows promise for application within a bariatric surgery-seeking population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Morbid obesity is a well-defined chronic disease, the incidence of which is constantly rising. Surgical treatment of morbid obesity has produced superior outcomes compared to conventional weight loss measures. Currently, there is a gap in the literature regarding long-term outcomes. Our single-institution, retrospective cohort study aims to evaluate weight loss outcomes, comorbidity reduction, and adverse effects at 10 years following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB), Biliopancreatic Diversion (BPD), and Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG). MATERIALS AND METHODS We included all consecutive patients with 10-year follow-up records operated on within our institution. The comparison was carried out on the average percentage of weight and BMI loss. Nausea and vomiting were evaluated through self-reporting Likert scales. Diabetes resolution and nutritional deficiencies were also evaluated. RESULTS A total of 490 patients from 1995 up to 2011 were included in our study. Of these, 322 underwent RYGB, 58 underwent long-limb BPD, 34 underwent laparoscopic RYGB with fundus excision, 47 underwent laparoscopic SG, and 29 underwent laparoscopic RYGB as a revision of prior SG. RYGB and BPD were significantly associated with higher percentages of weight loss (37.6% and 37.5%), but were not found to be independent predictors of weight loss. Nausea and vomiting were associated with SG and laparoscopic RYGB with fundus excision, more so than the other operations. No differences were observed regarding diabetes resolution and nutritional deficiencies. CONCLUSIONS Longer follow-up reports are important for the comparison of outcomes between different types of bariatric operations. BPD and RYGB resulted in superior weight loss, with no observed differences in diabetes resolution and adverse outcomes.

Shou JW, Shaw PC. Berberine Reduces Lipid Accumulation in Obesity via Mediating Transcriptional Function of PPARδ. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:11600.

Abstract
Obesity is defined as a dampness-heat syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine. Coptidis Rhizoma is an herb used to clear heat and eliminate dampness in obesity and its complications. Berberine (BBR), the main active compound in Coptidis Rhizoma, shows anti-obesity effects. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are a group of nuclear receptor proteins that regulate the expression of genes involved in energy metabolism, lipid metabolism, inflammation, and adipogenesis. However, whether PPARs are involved in the anti-obesity effect of BBR remains unclear. As such, the aim of this study was to elucidate the role of PPARs in BBR treatment on obesity and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Our data showed that BBR produced a dose-dependent regulation of the levels of PPARγ and PPARδ but not PPARα. The results of gene silencing and specific antagonist treatment demonstrated that PPARδ is key to the effect of BBR. In 3T3L1 preadipocytes, BBR reduced lipid accumulation; in high-fat-diet (HFD)-induced obese mice, BBR reduced weight gain and white adipose tissue mass and corrected the disturbed biochemical parameters, including lipid levels and inflammatory and oxidative markers. Both the in vitro and in vivo efficacies of BBR were reversed by the presence of a specific antagonist of PPARδ. The results of a mechanistic study revealed that BBR could activate PPARδ in both 3T3L1 cells and HFD mice, as evidenced by the significant upregulation of PPARδ endogenous downstream genes. After activating by BBR, the transcriptional functions of PPARδ were invoked, exhibiting negative regulation of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein α (Cebpα) and Pparγ promoters and positive mediation of heme oxygenase-1 (Ho-1) promoter. In summary, this is the first report of a novel anti-obesity mechanism of BBR, which was achieved through the PPARδ-dependent reduction in lipid accumulation.

Abstract
Obesity is an increasingly widespread disease worldwide because of lifestyle changes. It is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, primarily type 2 diabetes mellitus, with an increase in major cardiovascular adverse events. Bariatric surgery has been shown to be able to reduce the incidence of obesity-related cardiovascular disease and thus overall mortality. This result has been shown to be the result of hormonal and metabolic effects induced by post-surgical anatomical changes, with important effects on multiple hormonal and molecular axes that make this treatment more effective than conservative therapy in determining a marked improvement in the patient's cardiovascular risk profile. This review, therefore, aimed to examine the surgical techniques currently available and how these might be responsible not only for weight loss but also for metabolic improvement and cardiovascular benefits in patients undergoing such procedures.

Abstract
Dietary imbalance and overeating can lead to an increasingly widespread disease - obesity. Aesthetic considerations aside, obesity is defined as an excess of adipose tissue that can lead to serious health problems and can predispose to a number of pathological changes and clinical diseases, including diabetes; hypertension; atherosclerosis; coronary artery disease and stroke; obstructive sleep apnea; depression; weight-related arthropathies and endometrial and breast cancer. A body weight 20% above ideal for age, gender and height is a severe health risk. Bariatric surgery is a set of surgical methods to treat morbid obesity when other treatments such as diet, increased physical activity, behavioral changes and drugs have failed. The two most common procedures currently used are sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass. This procedure has gained popularity recently and is generally considered safe and effective. Although current data show that perioperative mortality is low and better control of comorbidities and short-term complications is achieved, more randomized trials are needed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of bariatric procedures. This review aims to synthesize and summarize the growing evidence on the long-term effectiveness, outcomes and complications of bariatric surgery.

Abstract
Diabetes and obesity are closely interlinked. Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus and appears to be an important risk factor for diabetic micro- and macrovascular complications. Management of hyperglycaemia in people with diabetes is important to reduce diabetes-related complications. Previously, there was a significant tension between management of hyperglycaemia and mitigating weight gain. Older drugs, such as sulfonylureas, glitazones, and insulin, although effective antihyperglycaemic agents, tend to induce weight gain. There is now an increasing recognition in people with obesity and diabetes that the focus should be on aiding weight loss, initially with improvements in diet and physical activity, possibly with the use of low-calorie diet programmes. Subsequent addition of metformin and newer agents, such as sodium-glucose transporter-2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 analogues, will aid glucose control and weight reduction, and offer cardiovascular and renal protection. These drugs are now much higher in the therapeutic pathway in many national and international guidelines. Bariatric surgery may also be an effective way to manage hyperglycaemia or induce remission in individuals with both obesity and diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity has reached epidemic dimensions in recent decades. Bariatric surgery (BS) is one of the most effective interventions for weight loss and metabolic improvement in patients with obesity. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) are gut microbiota-derived metabolites with a key role in body weight control and insulin sensitivity. Although BS is known to induce significant changes in the gut microbiota composition, its impact on the circulating levels of certain metabolites produced by the gut microbiota such as SCFA remains poorly understood. OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of BS on the circulating SCFA levels in patients with severe obesity. SETTING University hospital. METHODS An observational, prospective study was performed on 51 patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Plasma samples were collected at baseline (1 day before surgery) and at 6 and 12 months after BS. Plasma SCFA levels were determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. RESULTS The results revealed significant changes in the circulating levels of SCFA after BS. A marked increase in propionate, butyrate, isobutyrate, and isovalerate levels and a decrease in acetate, valerate, hexanoate, and heptanoate levels were observed 12 months after BS. Furthermore, the changes in the levels of propionate, butyrate, and isobutyrate negatively correlated with changes in body mass index, while those of isobutyrate correlated negatively with changes in the homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance index. CONCLUSION These results suggest that propionate, butyrate, and isobutyrate levels could be related to weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity in patients with severe obesity after BS.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to compare energy, macronutrients (quantity and quality), the overall dietary quality, and eating behaviors of patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) at different times since surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study included 184 adults at least 1 year post-LSG. Dietary intakes were assessed by a 147-item food frequency questionnaire. Macronutrient quality was assessed by computing the macronutrient quality index (MQI), carbohydrate quality index, fat quality index, and healthy plate protein quality index (HPPQI). The Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2015 was used to assess diet quality. The Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire was used to assess eating behaviors. Based on the time since LSG, the time at which eating data were also collected, participants were categorized into three groups: 1-2 years (group 1), 2-3 years (group 2), and 3-5 years (group 3). RESULTS Group 3 consumed significantly more energy and absolute carbohydrates than group 1. The MQI and HPPQI scores of group 3 were significantly lower than those of group 1. The HEI score was significantly lower in group 3 compared to group 1, with a mean difference of 8.1 points. Compared to patients with 1-2 years following LSG, those with 2-3 and 3-5 years consumed more refined grains. Eating behavior scores did not differ between groups. CONCLUSION Patients at 3-5 years post-LSG consumed more energy and carbohydrates than those at 1-2 years after the surgery. Protein quality, overall macronutrient quality, and overall diet quality decreased as time passed following surgery.
