RESUMEN
This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate changes in GIP after RYGB in obese patients. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and CENTRAL for relevant studies from database inception through July 2021. Articles were eligible for inclusion if they reported pre-operative and post-operative fasting GIP levels. We found fasting GIP levels had a decreasing tendency. The decrease in fasting glucose and postprandial GIP levels was also observed. Subgroup analysis indicated diabetic subjects tended to have a more obvious fasting GIP reduction compared to non-diabetic individuals. Meta-regression showed that the amount of weight loss (% total body weight), gastric pouch volume, alimentary limb length, and biliopancreatic limb length were not related to fasting GIP decrease. Fasting GIP levels decreased significantly after RYGB in obese people, especially in diabetic patients.

The meta-analysis aimed to explore the possible relationship between bariatric surgery and semen quality. PubMed, EMBASE, and CENTRAL were searched from database inception through October 28, 2021. Articles were eligible for inclusion if they evaluated the impact pre- and post-bariatric surgery on semen parameters. A total of 9 studies with 218 patients were found. The mean preoperative age distribution of the patients included centralized from 18 to 50 years, and the mean pre-op BMI ranged from 36.7 to 70.5 kg/m2. The follow-up period ranged from 6 to 24 months. The results revealed that bariatric surgery had no significant effect on sperm volume, concentration, total count, morphology, total motility, progressive motility, viability, semen pH, and semen leukocytes. Bariatric surgery does not improve semen quality in obese males.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the change in the amount of sialic acids on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell membrane. METHODS: Surgical specimens of HCC and liver cirrhosis tissues were obtained from 28 patients to prepare carcinoma cell and hepatocyte suspensions by collagenase digestion. For assay of α2, 3 and α2, 6-sialic acids, the cells were suspended in the staining buffer containing either fluorescein isothiocyanate-Maackia amurensis lectin (FITC-MAL) or fluorescein isothiocyanate-Sambucus nigra bark lectin (FITC-SNA) and incubated for 1 h, respectively. Flow cytometric analysis was carried out to measure the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) on the cell surface. RESULTS: In both FITC-MAL- and FITC-SNA-incubated HCC cells, the MFI on the cell surface was greater than that of the hepatocytes. CONCLUSION: Both of α2, 3 and α2, 6- sialic acids increases significantly on the hepatocyte membrane after the carcinomatous change.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of in vitro induced autologous bone marrow-derived liver stem cell transplantation for posthepatitic cirrhosis. METHODS: Between Jun 2008 and Mar 2009, 12 patients with posthepatitic cirrhosis and portal hypertensive underwent azygousportal disconnection and splenectomy in our department. The patients were then divided into two groups to receive autologous bone marrow-deprived liver stem cell infusion via the hepatic artery after in vitro induction for 7 days (n=6) or saline (n=6). The therapeutic effects of the operations on the liver functions and liver fibrosis index were evaluated. RESULTS: All the patients recovered uneventfully and no side effect of the operation was found. After the operation, the patients receiving bone marrow-deprived liver stem cell infusion showed better hepatic function improvement than those receiving saline infusion (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Transplantation of in vitro induced autologous bone marrow-derived liver stem cell via the hepatic artery is safe and effective for treatment of posthepatitic cirrhosis.

OBJECTIVE: To explore practical protocols for cloning bone marrow-derived hepatic stem cells in vitro. METHODS: The cell fraction rich in CD117(+) cells and CD184(+) cells was separated from fresh bone marrow by density gradient centrifugation and cultured for 0, 7 and 14 days in high-glucose DMEM supplemented with or without 10% autologous serum or in serum-free high-glucose DMEM. All the media were supplemented with different concentrations of hepatocyte growth promoting factors (HGPF), thrombopoietin (TPO) and interleukin-3 (IL-3). The quantitative changes of CD117(+) cells and CD184(+) cells were measured by flow cytometry. RESULTS: The optimal effect for cell cloning was achieved with high-glucose DMEM with 10% autologous serum group supplemented with 40 microg/ml HGPF, 50 ng/ml TPO, and 10 ng/ml IL-3. At day 7 of cell culture in this media, the quantity of CD117(+) cells and CD184(+) cells increased by 6.55 and 6.20 folds, and by 11.62 and 20.57 folds at day 14, respectively. CONCLUSION: It is practical for cloning bone marrow-derived hepatic stem cells in high-glucose DMEM with 10% autologous serum supplemented with 40 microg/ml HGPF, 50 ng/ml TPO, and 10 ng/ml IL-3.
