RESUMO
Resumen: OBJETIVO Determinar el alivio de comorbilidades en pacientes a los que se les practicó cirugía bariátrica en el Hospital Regional de Alta Especialidad de la Península de Yucatán. MATERIAL Y MÉTODO Estudio retrospectivo observacional efectuado de 2011 a 2014, en el que se incluyeron pacientes con índice de masa corporal ≥ 40 kg/m2o ≥ 35 kg/m2 con comorbilidades a quienes se les efectuó cirugía bariátrica. Los criterios diagnósticos de síndrome metabólico fueron los de la Federación Internacional de Diabetes válidos para población mexicana. RESULTADOS Se incluyeron 67 pacientes a los que se les hizo cirugía bariátrica (bypass gástrico en Y de Roux por laparoscopia); 79% eran mujeres, el rango de edad fue de 19-55 años con media de 36.5 ± 8.2 años. El promedio de peso antes de la cirugía fue de 119.4±20 kg. El promedio del porcentaje de pérdida de peso posoperatorio fue de 19.8, 27.9 y 34.3% a 3, 6 y 12 meses. La media del peso, índice de masa corporal, presión arterial sistólica y diastólica, colesterol total, LDL, HDL y glucosa disminuyeron significativamente (p< 0.001) un año después de la intervención quirúrgica. Los porcentajes de remisión fueron: síndrome metabólico, diabetes mellitus y col-HDL bajo: 100%, hipertensión arterial: 94.1%, hipertrigliceridemia: 60.9%. CONCLUSIÓN A 12 meses de la intervención quirúrgica, las remisiones de síndrome metabólico, diabetes mellitus y HDL bajo fueron del 100% y mayores a 60% en los otros componentes del síndrome metabólico.
Abstract: OBJECTIVE To determine the relief of comorbidities in patients undergoing bariatric surgery of metabolic syndrome in the Regional Hospital of High Specialty of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. MATERIAL AND METHOD A retrospective observational study was done from 2011 to 2014 in patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 40 kg/m2 or ≥ 35 kg/m2 with comorbidities undergoing bariatric surgery. The diagnostic criteria of the metabolic syndrome were those of the International Diabetes Federation applied to the Mexican population. RESULTS A total of 67 patients undergoing bariatric surgery (laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) were included in the study; 79% were women, the age range was 19-55 years with an average of 36.5 ± 8.2 years. The average weight before surgery was 119.4 ± 20 kg. The average percentage of postoperative weight loss was 19.8%, 27.9% and 34.3% at 3, 6 and 12 months, respectively. The mean weight, BMI, systolic and dyastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and glucose decreased significantly (p < 0.001) one year after surgery. The percentages of remission were: metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus and low HDL-cholesterol: 100%, arterial hypertension: 94.1%, hypertriglyceridemia: 60.9%. CONCLUSION At twelve months, the remissions of metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus and low HDL were 100%, being greater than 60% in the other components of the metabolic syndrome.
RESUMO
The best definitive treatment option for end-stage heart failure currently is transplantation, which is limited by donor availability and immunorejection. Generating an autologous bioartificial heart could overcome these limitations. Here, we have decellularized a human heart, preserving its 3-dimensional architecture and vascularity, and recellularized the decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM). We decellularized 39 human hearts with sodium-dodecyl-sulfate for 4-8 days. Cell removal and architectural integrity were determined anatomically, functionally, and histologically. To assess cytocompatibility, we cultured human cardiac-progenitor cells (hCPC), bone-marrow mesenchymal cells (hMSCs), human endothelial cells (HUVECs), and H9c1 and HL-1 cardiomyocytes in vitro on dECM ventricles up to 21 days. Cell survival, gene expression, organization and/or electrical coupling were analyzed and compared to conventional 2-dimensional cultures. Decellularization removed cells but preserved the 3-dimensional cardiac macro and microstructure and the native vascular network in a perfusable state. Cell survival was observed on dECM for 21 days. hCPCs and hMSCs expressed cardiocyte genes but did not adopt cardiocyte morphology or organization; HUVECs formed a lining of endocardium and vasculature; differentiated cardiomyocytes organized into nascent muscle bundles and displayed mature calcium dynamics and electrical coupling in recellularized dECM. In summary, decellularization of human hearts provides a biocompatible scaffold that retains 3-dimensional architecture and vascularity and that can be recellularized with parenchymal and vascular cells. dECM promotes cardiocyte gene expression in stem cells and organizes existing cardiomyocytes into nascent muscle showing electrical coupling. These findings represent a first step toward manufacturing human heart grafts or matrix components for treating cardiovascular disease.
