Abstract
OBJECTIVES The treatment for neuropathic pain is still a big challenge. Pulsed radiofrequency technique has been widely used to relieve neuropathic pain in recent years. The purpose of this study is to optimize the temperature for pulsed radiofrequency therapy. DESIGN Animal, experimental study. METHODS Seventy-five male SD rats were randomly divided into five groups: Sham operation group (Sham group), chronic constriction injury group (CCI group), PRF 42°C group (P42 group), PRF 50°C group (P50 group), and PRF 60°C group (P60 group). The hindpaw withdrawal threshold (HWT), paw thermal withdrawal latency (PTWL), sciatic nerve structure, and the concentration of spinal methionine enkephalin(M-ENK) were detected to identify which temperature is the best for PRF treatment. RESULTS PRF at 42°C, 50°C and 60°C significantly alleviated the pain in CCI rats. The therapeutic effects of 50°C and 60°C were similar, and both were better than 42°C. In addition, PRF using 42°C, 50°C, and 60°C mediated nerve injury to sciatic nerve were grade 1, 1, and 2, respectively. The concentration of M-ENK in spinal cord increased accompanying with the increasing of the temperature of PRF. CONCLUSIONS PRF using 50°C could induce less damage while achieving better improvement of mechanical and thermal pain threshold than 42°C and 60°C in CCI rats, which may be achieved by promoting the expression of M-ENK in spinal cord.

Improvements in Diabetic Neuropathy and Nephropathy After Bariatric Surgery: a Prospective Cohort Study. Obes Surg 2021; 31:554-563. [PMID: 33104989 PMCID: PMC7847862 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-020-05052-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2020] [Revised: 10/10/2020] [Accepted: 10/13/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE There are limited data on the impact of bariatric surgery on microvascular complications of type 2 diabetes (T2D), particularly diabetic neuropathy. We assessed microvascular complications (especially neuropathy) in obese patients with T2D before and 12 months after bariatric surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a prospective observational cohort study. Measurements of neuropathy symptom profile (NSP), neuropathy disability score (NDS), vibration (VPT), cold (CPT) and warm (WPT) perception thresholds, nerve conduction studies (NCS) and corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) to quantify corneal nerve fibre density (CNFD), branch density (CNBD) and fibre length (CNFL); urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (uACR), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcyst-creat) and retinal grading were taken. RESULTS Twenty-six (62% female; median age 52 years) obese patients with T2D were recruited. Body mass index (BMI) (47.2 to 34.5 kg/m2; p < 0.001) decreased post-operatively. There were improvements in CNFD (27.1 to 29.2/mm2; p = 0.005), CNBD (63.4 to 77.8/mm2; p = 0.008), CNFL (20.0 to 20.2/mm2; p = 0.001), NSP (3 to 0/38; p < 0.001) and eGFRcyst-creat (128 to 120 ml/min; p = 0.015) post-bariatric surgery. Changes in (Δ) triglycerides were independently associated with ΔCNFL (β = - 0.53; p = 0.024) and Δsystolic blood pressure (β = 0.62;p = 0.017), and %excess BMI loss (β = - 0.004; p = 0.018) were associated with ΔeGFRcyst-creat. There was no significant change in NDS, VPT, CPT, WPT, NCS, uACR or retinopathy status. Glomerular hyperfiltration resolved in 42% of the 12 patients with this condition pre-operatively. CONCLUSION Bariatric surgery results in improvements in small nerve fibres and glomerular hyperfiltration in obese people with T2D, which were associated with weight loss, triglycerides and systolic blood pressure, but with no change in retinopathy or uACR at 12 months.

Neurosurgical issues of bariatric surgery: A systematic review of the literature and principles of diagnosis and treatment. Clin Neurol Neurosurg 2018; 176:34-40. [PMID: 30500756 DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2018.11.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2018] [Revised: 11/09/2018] [Accepted: 11/11/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Bariatric surgery is gaining popularity as the treatment of choice of morbid obesity since this condition is constantly increasing over the last decades. Several complications have emerged as the number of surgeries and follow-up data increase. No systematic review of the neurosurgery-related potential complications has been performed to date. Objective of this work is to fill this gap. We reviewed the literature for bariatric surgery-related complications involving the neurosurgical practice. Moreover, we present explicative cases dealing with peri- and post-operative therapeutic precautions. Three pathological mechanisms emerged. The first is related to intracranial pressure alterations and may imply either intracranial hypertension or hypotension syndromes in the operative or post-operative periods. The second is the deficiency of macro- and micro-nutrients which are potential risk factors for neuro- or myelo-encephalopathies, fetal malformations and spine disorders. The third is a dysregulation of both autonomic and endocrine / pituitary control. Neurosurgeons must be aware of the several, multifactorial neurosurgery-related complications of bariatric surgery as their prevalence is likely to be higher in the next few years.

Abstract
CONTEXT Individuals with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) are susceptible to central and visceral obesity and it's metabolic consequences; consensus based guidelines for obesity management after SCI have not yet been stablished. OBJECTIVES To identify and compare effective means of obesity management among SCI individuals. METHODS This systematic review included English and non-English articles, published prior to April 2017 found in the PubMed/Medline, Embase, CINAHL Psychinfo and Cochrane databases. Studies evaluating any obesity management strategy, alone or in combination, including: diet therapy, voluntary and involuntary exercise such as neuro-muscular electric stimulation (NMES), pharmacotherapy, and surgery, among individuals with chronic SCI were included. Outcomes of interest were reductions in waist circumference, body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI) and total fat mass (TFM) and increases in total lean body mass (TLBM) from baseline. From 3,553 retrieved titles and abstracts, 34 articles underwent full text review and 23 articles were selected for data abstraction. Articles describing weight loss due to inflammation, cancer or B12 deficiency were excluded. The Downs and Black reported poor to moderate quality of the studies. RESULTS Bariatric surgery produced the greatest permanent weight reduction and BMI correction followed by combinations of physical exercise and diet therapy. Generally, NMES and pharmacotherapy improved TLBM and reduced TFM but not weight. CONCLUSIONS The greatest weight reduction and BMI correction was produced by bariatric surgery, followed by a combination of physical exercise and diet therapy. NMES and pharmacologic treatment did not reduce weight or TFM but increased in TLBM.
