Abstract
The intestinal barrier maintained by various types of columnar epithelial cells, plays a crucial role in regulating the interactions between the intestinal contents (such as the intestinal microbiota), the immune system, and other components. Dysfunction of the intestinal mucosa is a significant pathophysiological mechanism and clinical manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, current therapies for IBD primarily focus on suppressing inflammation, and no disease-modifying treatments specifically target the epithelial barrier. Given the side effects associated with chronic immunotherapy, effective alternative therapies that promote mucosal healing are highly attractive. In this review, we examined the function of intestinal epithelial barrier function and the mechanisms of behind its disruption in IBD. We illustrated the complex process of intestinal mucosal healing and proposed therapeutic approaches to promote mucosal healing strategies in IBD. These included the application of stem cell transplantation and organ-like tissue engineering approaches to generate new intestinal tissue. Finally, we discussed potential strategies to restore the function of the intestinal barrier as a treatment for IBD.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), as one of the most lethal cancers, significantly impacts human health. Attempts in this area tends to develop novel technologies with sensitive and multiplexed detection properties for early diagnosis. Here, we present novel hydrogel photonic crystal (PhC) barcodes with tyramine deposition amplified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for highly sensitive and multiplexed HCC biomarker screening. Because of the abundant amino groups of acrylic acid (AA) component, the constructed hydrogel PhC barcodes with inverse opal structure could facilitate the loading of antibody probes for subsequent detection of tumor markers. By integrating tyramine deposition amplified ELISA on the barcode, the detection signal of tumor markers has been enhanced. Based on these features, it is demonstrated that the hydrogel PhC barcodes with tyramine deposition amplified ELISA could realize highly sensitive and multiplexed detection of HCC-related biomarkers. It was found that this method is flexible, sensitive and accurate, suitable for multivariate analysis of low abundance tumor markers and future cancer diagnosis. These features make the newly developed PhC barcodes an innovation platform, which possesses tremendous potential for practical application of low abundance targets.

EClinicalMedicine 2024; 69:102462. [PMID: 38333369 PMCID: PMC10850131 DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2024.102462] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2023] [Revised: 01/17/2024] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Childhood obesity is a pressing health crisis of epidemic proportions. Bariatric surgery (BS) is an effective weight loss solution however its role in the paediatric population is contentious owing to the paucity of weight specific and generalised health outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the impact of paediatric BS on bone health. Methods This prospectively registered systematic review (PROSPERO ID: CRD42023432035) was performed in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. We searched MEDLINE (1946-1928 September 2023), EMBASE (1947-1928 September 2023) via the Ovid platform, and the Cochrane Review Library to identify scientific publications reporting bone outcome measures in patients under the age of 18 years who underwent BS. Meta-analysis was undertaken on post-operative weight and bone parameters in paediatric patients following BS. Outcomes were reported as weighted or standardized mean difference with 95 percent confidence intervals. Subgroup analysis by intervention, quality scoring and risk of bias were assessed. Findings Twelve studies with 681 patients across 5 countries (mean age 17 ± 0.57 years) were included. The quality of included studies was rated as high and there was substantial between-study heterogeneity for most factors included in the meta-analysis (I2 from 0% to 99.1%). Patients underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB, n = 216), sleeve gastrectomy (SG, n = 257), gastric band (n = 184) or intragastric balloon placement (n = 24). BS was associated with significant weight reduction, body mass index (BMI) -12.7 kg/m2 (95% CI -14.5 to -10.9, p < 0.001), with RYGB being most effective, BMI -16.58 kg/m2 (95% CI -19.6 to -13.6, p < 0.001). Patients who underwent SG or RYGB had significantly lower lumbar bone mineral density, -0.96 g/cm2 (95% CI -0.1 to -0.03, p < 0.001), Z score, -1.132 (95% CI -1.8 to -0.45, p < 0.001) and subtotal body bone mineral density, -0.7 g/cm2 (95% CI -1.2 to -0.2, p < 0.001) following surgery. This was accompanied with higher markers of bone resorption, C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen 0.22 ng/ml (95% CI 0.12-0.32, p < 0.001) and osteocalcin, 10.83 ng/ml (95% CI 6.01-15.67, p < 0.001). There was a significant reduction in calcium levels following BS, -3.78 mg/dl (95% CI -6.1 to -1.5, p < 0.001) but no difference in 25-hydroxyvitamin D, phosphate, bone alkaline phosphatase, procollagen type 1 N propeptide or parathyroid hormone. Interpretation BS effectively reduces weight in paediatric patients, but RYGB and SG may have adverse effects on bone health in the medium term. It is crucial to monitor and support bone health through appropriate nutritional supplementation and judicious follow-up. Long-term data is needed to fully understand the clinical implications of these findings on bone outcomes. Funding Medical Research Council (MRC), United Kingdom.

Weight Loss Following Bariatric Surgery in People with or without Metabolic Syndrome: A 5-Year Observational Comparative Study. J Clin Med 2024; 13:256. [PMID: 38202263 PMCID: PMC10779877 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13010256] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
AIM Whilst bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for severe obesity, the aim of this study was to evaluate whether postoperative weight loss is similar in patients with or without metabolic syndrome. METHODS We performed a 5-year observational retrospective comparative cohort analysis of bariatric surgery in 333 patients (72% women) without (Group A, n = 133) or with (Group B, n = 200) metabolic syndrome at baseline. RESULTS Overall mean (SD) baseline body mass index was 51.7 (7.5) with no significant difference between groups. Overall mean percent total weight loss (%TWL) was 31.9% by 24 months after surgery. Although %TWL was greater in Group A (34.9%) than in Group B (30.2%, p = 0.006) at 24 months, there were no significant differences between groups subsequently up to 60 months of follow-up. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures and lipid profiles improved in both groups. In patients with metabolic syndrome at baseline, mean HbA1c reduced by 36.4% at 12 months and was sustained over the study period. CONCLUSIONS We report that bariatric surgery results in comparable long-term weight loss in patients with or without metabolic syndrome alongside expected improvements in metabolic comorbidities.
