ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2014; 189:31-9.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the short-term effect of ileal interposition (IT) surgery on gut morphology and enteroendocrine cell numbers in the pre-diabetic UC Davis type 2 diabetes mellitus (UCD-T2DM) rat. STUDY DESIGN Two-month old male UCD-T2DM rats underwent either sham (n=5) or IT (n=5) surgery. Intestines were collected 1.5months after surgery. The jejunum, ileum and colon regions were processed for histochemical and immunohistochemical labeling and stereological analyses of changes in gut morphometry and number of enteroendocrine cells. RESULTS Stereological analysis showed that intestinal volume, luminal surface area and the number of all chromogranin A-positive enteroendocrine cells were markedly increased in the IT rats compared with sham-operated animals. Subanalyses of the glucagon-like peptide 2, cholecystokinin, serotonin cells and the neurotensin immunoreactive sub-pool of enteroendocrine cells in the IT region revealed an increase in numbers across phenotypes. However, the density of the different cell types varied. CONCLUSION IT surgery in the UCD-T2DM rat leads to rapid alterations in gut morphometry and an increase in the number of enteroendocrine cells. This effect may potentially explain why IT surgery delays the onset of type 2 diabetes in the UCD-T2DM rat.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The frequency of copper deficiency and clinical manifestations following roux-en-y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery is not yet clear. Objectives were to determine the prevalence and incidence of copper deficiency in patients who have undergone RYGB. DESIGN AND METHODS We sought to determine the number of RYGB patients undergoing medical and nutritional follow-up visits at the Emory Bariatric Center who experienced copper deficiency and associated hematological and neurological complaints (n=136). Separately, in patients followed longitudinally before and during 6 and 24 months following RYGB surgery, we obtained measures of copper status (n=16). Systemic blood cell counts and measures of copper, zinc and ceruloplasmin were determined using standardized assays in reference laboratories including atomic absorption spectrometry and immunoassays. RESULTS Thirteen patients were identified to have copper deficiency suggesting a prevalence of copper deficiency of 9.6%, and the majority of these had concomitant complications including anemia, leukopenia and various neuro-muscular abnormalities. In the longitudinal study, plasma copper concentrations and ceruloplasmin activity decreased over 6 and 24 months following surgery, respectively (P<0.05), but plasma zinc concentrations did not change. A simultaneous decrease in white blood cells was observed (P<0.05). The incidence of copper deficiency in these subjects was determined to be 18.8%. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence and incidence of copper deficiency following RYGB surgery was determined to be 9.6% and 18.8%, respectively, with many patients experiencing mild-to-moderate symptoms. Given that copper deficiency can lead to serious and irreversible complications if untreated, frequent monitoring of the copper status of RYGB patients is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ileal interposition (IT), in which the distal ileum is transposed isoperistaltically into the proximal jejunum, is considered as a procedure for metabolic or antidiabetes surgery. Our aim was to study the effects of IT on glycemic control, fat metabolism, and hormonal changes in obese rats with spontaneous diabetes. METHODS Animals were divided into either an IT or a sham (SH) group. They underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) before and 4 and 8 weeks after the operation. All animals were killed 10 weeks after operation for analyses of tissue weight (liver, pancreas, epididymal fat, brown fat), immunoblotting of uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) protein in brown adipose tissue (BAT), and fasting plasma levels of glucose, insulin, glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1, peptide YY (PYY), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), and leptin. RESULTS Body weight increased postoperatively in both groups compared with preoperative weight, but it did not differ between the 2 groups. Eight weeks postoperatively, integrated blood glucose levels during the OGTT were decreased in IT compared with SH (P < .05). Fasting plasma levels of insulin, GLP-1, and GIP did not differ between the 2 groups, but PYY levels were higher in the IT animals (P < .01). The weight of epididymal and BATs, homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance, and fasting plasma leptin levels were decreased in the IT group (P < .05). Expression of UCP1 was higher in IT than SH animals (P < .05). CONCLUSION These results suggest that IT improves glucose and lipid metabolism by decreasing insulin resistance and epididymal fat, and increased expression of UCP1 in BAT might be among the mechanisms responsible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been demonstrated that biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) and ileal transposition (IT) effectively induce weight loss and long-term control of type 2 diabetes in morbidly obese individuals. It is unknown whether the control of diabetes is better after IT or after BPD. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of IT and BPD on the control of diabetes in an animal model. METHODS We performed IT and BPD on 10- to 12-week-old Goto-Kakizaki rats with a spontaneous nonobese model of type 2 diabetes, and we performed a series of detection. The rats were observed for 24 weeks after surgery. RESULTS Animals who underwent IT and BPD demonstrated improved glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity and the secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 compared with the sham-operated animals. Furthermore, IT resulted in a shorter duration of surgery and better postoperative recovery than BPD. CONCLUSION This study provides strong evidence for the crucial role of the hindgut in the resolution of diabetes after duodenum-jejunum bypass or IT. We confirmed that IT was associated with better postoperative recovery than BPD and had a similar control of diabetes as BPD in nonobese animals with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
One of the possible mechanisms by which the weight-reducing surgical procedure ileal interposition (II) works is by increasing circulating levels of lower gut peptides that reduce food intake, such as glucagon like peptide-1 and peptide YY. However, since this surgery involves both lower and upper gut segments, we tested the hypothesis that II alters the satiety responses evoked by the classic upper gut peptide cholecystokinin (CCK). To test this hypothesis, we determined meal size (MS), intermeal interval (IMI) and satiety ratio (SR) evoked by CCK-8 and -33 (0, 1, 3, 5nmol/kg, i.p.) in two groups of rats, II and sham-operated. CCK-8 and -33 reduced MS more in the sham group than in the II group; CCK-33 prolonged IMI in the sham group and increased SR in both groups. Reduction of cumulative food intake by CCK-8 in II rats was blocked by devazepide, a CCK(1) receptor antagonist. In addition, as previously reported, we found that II resulted in a slight reduction in body weight compared to sham-operated rats. Based on these observations, we conclude that ileal interposition attenuates the satiety responses of CCK. Therefore, it is unlikely that this peptide plays a significant role in reduction of body weight by this surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Modified duodenal jejunal bypass (MDJB) and ileal transposition (IT) were compared as surgeries for glucose control. Initial conclusions might be formed with respect to the possibility of (1) whether duodenal exclusion is essential for the control of diabetes and (2) application as a low morbid procedure. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA IT, MDJB, sham-IT, and sham-MDJB procedures were performed on 10- to 12-week-old Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats, nonobese animals who spontaneously develop type 2 diabetes. Rats were observed for 24 weeks after surgery. Glucose, insulin, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, cholesterol, triglycerides, and free fatty acid levels were measured. RESULTS MDJB and IT rats, when compared with sham-operated rats, showed reduced blood-glucose levels (P < 0.001); but IT- and MDJB did not differ from one another (P < 0.05). Compared with sham-operated rats, IT- and MDJB rats showed increased GLP-1 secretion (P < 0.01), with a more rapid and higher secretion in IT operated than in MDJB rats (P < 0.05). After 6 months, sham-operated rats weighed more than IT or MDJB rats (P < 0.01), but the weights of IT- and MDJB rats were similar to one another (P > 0.05). In terms of both operative time (P < 0.001) and postoperative recovery time (P < 0.001), MDJB took longer than did IT. CONCLUSION In nonobese spontaneously diabetic rats, IT is equivalent to MDJB in terms of glucose control and weight secondary to significant increases of GLP-1. IT is faster to perform and yields a shorter recovery period than does MDJB.

Abstract
After total gastrectomy, the ileocecal graft may act as a reservoir and protect against reflux but give rise to transposition of the ileum and cause possible changes in bile acid metabolism and nutrition. This study compared the ileocecal graft and jejunal pouch. Male Wistar rats weighing 265 +/- 22 g were submitted to sham operation (S), ileocecal interposition graft (IIG), and jejunal pouch interposition graft (JP) after total gastrectomy. Eight weeks later, the esophagus was examined for evidence of esophagitis. Nutritional biochemistry and weight profile were documented preoperatively and 8 weeks after surgery. The oral glucose tolerance test was performed. Thirty-three rats were operated on and 30 survived for 8 weeks. Esophagitis occurred in seven JP rats. Body weight was significantly higher in IIG than in JP rats (p < .05). Normal glucose tolerance to intragastric glucose load was observed in sham and operated rats. JP rats had a significant decrease in serum albumin, glucose, transferrin, hemoglobin, iron, folate, and calcium, compared to sham (p < .05). Cobalamine was significantly lower in IIG rats than in JP rats (p < .05). In the IIG and JP groups, serum/hepatic total bile acid did not differ significantly from preoperative and sham values. In conclusion, the IIG interposition graft in rats prevented esophagitis, preserved nutrition, and did not interfere with enterohepatic total bile acid circulation.

Abstract
Despite dramatically increased research efforts to discover cures for the rising health issue of obesity, bariatric (obesity) surgery remains the most effective treatment. Obese people and especially those classified as morbidly obese often suffer from associated co-morbid conditions such as type-II diabetes. In most cases, bariatric surgery results in rapid and sustained decreases in excess body weight. Recent reports have identified significant improvements in glucose homeostasis after surgery that are coincident and often precedent to any measurable weight loss. These studies suggest an inhibition or enhancement of a "factor" within the intestinal tract that improves glycemia independent of body fat stores. These observations have sparked renewed investigation into the mechanisms underlying successful obesity surgeries such as gastric bypass. It is becoming increasingly clear that restriction and malabsorption are not the only two mechanisms important for inducing long-term weight loss or the improvements in diabetes. Investigating the hypothesis that the distal intestine (ileum) holds additional answers into a third mechanism, I used the model of ileal transposition to help identify endocrine changes in the gut following obesity surgery. This review will explore the model of ileal transposition and speculate on its usefulness as a tool to dissect out additional mechanisms underlying effective obesity surgeries. Also discussed will be the ileal-produced hormone glucagon-like peptide and its role in mediating the improvements in diabetes and weight loss after bariatric surgery.

Abstract
Bariatric surgeries, such as gastric bypass, result in dramatic and sustained weight loss that is usually attributed to a combination of gastric volume restriction and intestinal malabsorption. However, studies parceling out the contribution of enhanced intestinal stimulation in the absence of these two mechanisms have received little attention. Previous studies have demonstrated that patients who received intestinal bypass or Roux-en-Y surgery have increased release of gastrointestinal hormones. One possible mechanism for this increase is the rapid transit of nutrients into the intestine after eating. To determine whether there is increased secretion of anorectic peptides produced in the distal small intestine when this portion of the gut is given greater exposure to nutrients, we preformed ileal transpositions (IT) in rats. In this procedure, an isolated segment of ileum is transposed to the jejunum, resulting in an intestinal tract of normal length but an alteration in the normal distribution of endocrine cells along the gut. Rats with IT lost more weight (P < 0.05) and consumed less food (P < 0.05) than control rats with intestinal transections and reanastomosis without transposition. Weight loss in the IT rats was not due to malabsorption of nutrients. However, transposition of distal gut to a proximal location caused increased synthesis and release of the anorectic ileal hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and peptide YY (PYY; P < 0.01). The association of weight loss with increased release of GLP-1 and PYY suggests that procedures that promote gastrointestinal endocrine function can reduce energy intake. These findings support the importance of evaluating the contribution of gastrointestinal hormones to the weight loss seen with bariatric surgery.

Abstract
The aim of the present paper was to study the effects of ileo-jejunal transposition (IJT) on ileal contractile activity in vitro in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups: control, IJT, and sham. In rats with IJT, the distal ileum was interposed isoperistaltically into the proximal jejunum. The jejunoileum was transected and anastomosed at three sites in the sham group. Rats were sacrificed 17-20 weeks postoperatively and the ileal segment was removed. Isometric contractile activity of the isolated ileal longitudinal muscle was measured in tissue chambers. Spontaneous contractile activity was decreased in the IJT group (0.16 +/- 0.03 g/min per mg tissue) as compared with the control group (0.25 +/- 0.02 g/min per mg tissue, p < 0.05). The motor response to cholinergic agonist bethanechol in the IJT group was greater than in the control group above 10(-6) M dosage. The dose-response curves to adrenergic agonist norepinephrine did not differ between groups. A nitric oxide synthase inhibitor reversed electrical field stimulation-induced inhibition of spontaneous activity in all groups. These results indicate that the response to bethanechol in the IJT group was enhanced in rat ileal longitudinal smooth muscle and this may be an adaptive response to compensate for decreased spontaneous contractile activity.

Abstract
Net absorption of water, electrolytes, and simple nutrients decreases early after jejunoileal autotransplantation (extrinsic denervation) in a canine model but recovers toward normal by 8 weeks. However, the ability of the extrinsically denervated ileum to adapt after total jejunectomy, which would be relevant as a model of segmental small bowel transplantation, remains unknown. Two groups of five dogs each were studied before and 2 weeks and 12 weeks after 50% proximal enterectomy. A control group remained neurally intact, whereas the other group underwent extrinsic denervation (Ext Den) of the remaining ileum. Using a perfusion technique, net absorption of water, electrolytes, and five simple nutrients (glucose, arginine, glutamine, and oleic and taurocholic acids) was measured at the three time points. Ileal morphometry was also evaluated. All dogs developed diarrhea, which resolved by 12 weeks in all but two of the Ext Den dogs. Weight in both groups was decreased at 2 weeks (P <0.05), returned to normal at 12 weeks in control dogs, but remained low in Ext Den dogs (P <0.05). Maximal weight loss was greater in the Ext Den group (P <0.05). No consistent or important differences in net absorptive fluxes of water, electrolytes, or simple nutrients were noted either within or between groups at any time point. Villous height, crypt depth, and longitudinal muscle width increased significantly at 12 weeks after jejunectomy in the Ext Den dogs, but not in the control dogs (P <0.05). Extrinsic denervation of the ileum results in persistent weight loss after proximal 50% enterectomy. Despite diarrhea, only minor changes in electrolyte absorption occur, and ileal net absorption of simple nutrients remains unaffected. The ileum of extrinsically denervated dogs undergoes a more prominent morphometric adaptation after jejunectomy. Extrinsic denervation necessitated by small bowel transplantation, independent of immune effects, does not appear to suppress the ileal adaptive response to maintain net absorption of water, electrolytes, and simple nutrients.

Abstract
The ileum has a greater adaptive capacity than the jejunum after intestinal resection, which may be, in part, related to increased exposure to luminal contents and intrinsic properties of the ileum However, the intestinal remnant might contribute to this adaptive response as well. Our aim was to determine the effect of the distal intestinal remnant on ileal adaptation when the ileum is proximal in the intestinal tract. Twenty-one Lewis rats were included in the study. One group (n = 7) served as unoperated control subjects, the second group (n = 7) underwent transposition of the jejunum and ileum, and the third group (n = 7) underwent 50% proximal resection with syngeneic transplantation of the ileum Nutritional status and structural adaptation were studied at 14 days. Animals in both the transposition and transplant groups initially lost weight but weights returned to above preoperative levels at 14 days. Food intake, stool weight, and serum albumin levels were similar in these two groups. Intestinal weight and diameter were similar in the proximal end of the ileal segment in the two study groups and were significantly increased compared to control values (0.26 +/- 0.04 and 0.31 +/- 0.02 vs. 0.10 +/- 0.0 g/cm and 8.4 +/- 0.5 and 9.1 +/- 0.8 vs. 4.9 +/- 0.3 mm; P < 0.05) Intestinal weight and diameter of the distal end of the ileal segment were greater than those values in unoperated control animals but were greatest in the ileal transplant group (0.15 +/- 0.1 and 0.24 +/- 0.03 vs. 0.07 +/- 0.01 g/cm and 5.6 +/- 1.1 and 8.7 +/- 0.6 vs. 4.3 +/- 0.2 mm; P < 0.05). Villus height and crypt depth were similar in both the proximal and distal ends of the ileal segments in the two study groups and were significantly increased compared to control values (642 +/- 75 and 720 +/- 15 vs. 411 +/- 24 proximal and 443 +/- 49 and 500 +/- 46 vs. 343 +/- 22 microm distal, P < 0.05; 223 +/- 34 and 244 +/- 33 vs. 173 +/- 20 proximal and 192 +/- 28 and 209 +/- 18 vs. 144 +/- 26 microm distal, P < 0.05). Proximal placement of the ileum by either transposition or transplantation results in structural adaptation. This occurs to a similar extent whether the distal remnant is jejunum or ileum. Thus increased exposure to luminal contents and intrinsic properties appear to be the important factors in the adaptive capability of the ileum when the ileum is the proximal portion of the intestinal tract.

Abstract
There is speculation that enteroglucagon and peptide YY are responsible for mediating the <<ileal brake>> known as a suppressive reaction of upper gastrointestinal motility and transit that is induced by the infusion of nutrients into the ileum. We studied changes in motility and transit in dogs with ileojejunal transposition in which the distal ileum is exposed to undigested nutrients. Nine adult mongrel dogs were equipped with strain gauge force transducers placed on the gastric body, antrum, duodenum, and proximal jejunum. Measurements of gastrointestinal motility, gastric emptying, and plasma levels of total glucagon-like immunoreactivity, immunoreactive glucagon, and peptide YY were obtained both before and after either ileojejunal transposition (5 dogs) or sham operation (4 dogs). Postprandial contractions in the gastric antrum and gastric emptying were significantly inhibited after ileojejunal transposition. The inhibitory effect of ileojejunal transposition on antral motor activity was found to correlate with the rise in plasma total glucagon-like immunoreactivity and peptide YY concentrations. However, plasma glucagon levels were unaffected by ileojejunal transposition. These results suggest that hypersecretion of enteroglucagon and peptide YY induced by ileojejunal transposition inhibits postprandial gastric motor function.

Abstract
In the clinical setting, resection of the ileum results in an inferior functional outcome compared to jejunal resection. This may be related to a greater adaptive capacity of the ileum, intrinsic structural and functional differences, or regional differences in motor and hormonal function. Our aim was to evaluate the relative contributions of these factors to functional outcome after resection of the proximal or distal intestine. Twenty-four dogs underwent either intestinal transection or 50% resection of the proximal or distal intestine. Studies (nutritional status, absorption, adaptation, motility, peptide levels) were performed every four weeks until the animals were killed at 12 weeks. Caloric intake was similar in all four groups. Weight loss was greater and more sustained after distal resection (DR). Serum cholesterol levels decreased significantly only in the DR group. While stool weight and moisture were similar, the DR animals had persistent, significant steatorrhea. Intraluminal anaerobic bacteria and SCFA concentrations were significantly greater in the ileum but were not influenced by resection. Intestinal remnant length increased to a greater extent after proximal resection (PR), but circumference increased to a similar extent after both resections. Villus height and crypt depth increased significantly only after PR. MMC frequency was similar in all four groups. In the DR animals 26% of migrating motor complexes (MMCs) originated within the remnant. The jejunal remnant of these animals had a dominance of cluster activity similar to the intact distal ileum. Following PR, the postprandial motilin response was decreased. After DR, there were transient increases in neurotensin and PYY. Of the various factors evaluated, mucosal adaptation and the intestinal motor response appear most likely to explain the inferior nutritional and absorptive outcome associated with resection of the distal small intestine.

Abstract
A terminal ileal transposition procedure, in which a distal jejunal segment is interposed between the terminal ileum and the anus following proctocolectomy, is described. Adult mongrel dogs had either terminal ileal transposition (n = 5) or ileoanal anastomosis (n = 6) following two-stage proctocolectomy. Untreated dogs were used as controls (n = 7). Twelve weeks after the second-stage operation, a perfusion study was performed. After terminal ileal transposition the transposed terminal ileum showed a high absorptive capability for sodium, chloride and bile acids (P < 0.05, P < 0.05 and P < 0.001 respectively). After ileoanal anastomosis the absorptive capability of the terminal ileum was not enhanced significantly. In the mid-jejunum, the absorption of bile acids, chloride and glucose was enhanced (all P < 0.05) only after terminal ileal transposition. Terminal ileal transposition improves the absorptive capability of the terminal ileum and the mid-jejunum compared with conventional ileoanal anastomosis in this model.
