Objective:Gastric bypass results in the rapid resolution of type 2 diabetes. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study was to observe the expression of hepatic IRS-2 and GLUT-2 of type 2 diabetic rats after Duodenal-Jejunal Exclusion (DJE), and explore the possible mechanism of insulin resistance improved.
Methods:Healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into type 2 diabetes-operation group (DO group), type 2 diabetes-control group (DC group); normal-operation group (NO gr
Background: The duodenal switch is currently the best operation in terms of weight loss. However, it has suffered from the perception that it is too difficult to perform and has undesirable side effects of multiple daily bowel movement, malnutrition and foul smelling flatulence.
Methods: A historical comparison study was conducted. All patients who presented for a duodenal switch between September 2011 and May 2013 received a standard duodenal switch (SDS) and those who presented between June 2
Introduction
Gastric bypass surgery (GBS) is a commonly performed and substantially successful weight loss procedure. Beyond restriction, malabsorption and gut hormonal changes, GBS appears to change perception of taste and smell, as well as reducing appetite and the appeal of savory meals. There is significant evidence for changes in taste, appetite and satiety after GBS, but little data on the effects on brain reward centers. We used taste-related functional MRI (fMRI) to determine if GBS cha
Introduction: Among the population of obese adults (BMI >30 kg/m2), the super-super obese (BMI >60 kg/m2) present particular challenges for the bariatric surgeon. Surgical management of these patients has been associated with higher morbidity and mortality, unsustainable weight loss goals, and increased surgical risk. Traditionally, two-stage biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch has been the procedure of choice for this patient population. However, the benefits and outcomes of single s
INTRODUCTION: With the rise in bariatric procedures being performed nationwide and the growing focus on quality & outcome measures, reducing hospital readmission rates has garnered great clinical interest. The aim of the present study was to identify the incidence as well as underlying etiology for early readmission (<30 days) following the most commonly performed bariatric procedures.
