AIM:To investigate the therapeutic effect of menstrual blood-derived endometrial stem cells(MenSCs)on chemotherapy-induced intestinal mucositis and flora disorders in mice,and to explore the potential mecha-nism.METHODS:The mice were randomly divided into 3 groups including normal treatment,cisplatin(Cis)treatment and Cis+MenSC treatment,with 10 mice in each group.To induce intestinal mucositis,the mice were treated with Cis(2 mg·kg-1·d-1)by intraperitoneal injection for 5 consecutive days.Control mice for normal group were received equal vol-umes of normal saline.For Cis+MenSC treatment,MenSCs(1×106)was transplanted into the mice of Cis treated mice through tail vein.The performances and weight changes of mice were examined during the experiment.After the treat-ment,the small intestine and colon were isolated for subsequent HE staining,the ratio of F4/80 and IL-6 positive cells in small intestine were detected by immunohistochemical staining,and the expression of tight junction,inflammation and apoptosis related proteins was detected by Western blot.16S rDNA amplicon sequencing was performed to detect the diver-sity and richness of intestinal flora in mice.RESULTS:Compared to the Cis group,the MenSCs-treated mice showed sig-nificantly increased body weight,relieved intestinal lymphocytes infiltration,alleviated intestinal villous edema,and or-derly arranged glands in intestinal tissues.Further analysis indicated that MenSCs transplantation significantly up-regulat-ed the expression of intestinal tight junction related proteins ZO-1 and occludin in Cis-treated mice(P＜0.05).Subse-quently,MenSCs transplantation significantly inhibited the macrophages infiltration in intestinal tissues(P＜0.01),down-regulated the expression of pro-inflammatory factors IL-1 and IL-6 and pro-apoptotic protein Bax(P＜0.01),while up-regu-lated anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 and anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2(P＜0.01).Additionally,further microflora sequenc-ing indicated that MenSCs transplantation prevented mice from Cis-induced intestinal flora disorder,and significantly re-duced the abundance of harmful bacteria such as isenbergiella tayi and Anaerotruncus colihominis(P＜0.01).At the same time,the abundance of beneficial bacteria Lactobacillus apodemi was increased(P＜0.05),thereby restoring the composi-tion and function of healthy intestinal flora.CONCLUSION:MenSCs transplantation alleviates the chemotherapy-in-duced damage of intestinal structure,relieves the symptoms of chemotherapy-induced mucositis and restores the homeosta-sis of intestinal flora in mice.

Objective:To present the surgical details of manual double-layer suturing in patients with obesity combined type 2 diabetes mellitus by three-incision laparoscopic single-anastomosis duodenal-jejunal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy .Methods:Clinical data and follow-up information of 52 obesity combined type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (BMI 27.59-43.71 kg/m2) who underwent three-incision laparoscopic single-anastomosis duodenal-jejunal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy from Jan 2019 to Jul 2022 at Beijing Shijitan hospital were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The procedure was successful in all patients. The median operative time was 120 (90, 120) min, and the median intraoperative bleeding was 20.0 (10.0, 27.5) ml. No fistula or serious surgical complications were observed in the patients at 1 month postoperatively. Compared with the preoperative period, the patient's weight decreased [(93.22±15.21) kg vs. (69.97±11.06) kg, t=21.707, P<0.01], BMI decreased [(33.11±4.09) kg/m 2vs. (24.86±2.95) kg/m 2, t=23.224, P<0.01], and the patient's fasting glucose level decreased [9.52 (7.57, 12.96) mmol/L vs. 5.47 (4.66, 6.39) mmol/L, Z=6.11, P<0.01]. The remission rate of various obesity comorbidities was greatly improved. Conclusion:Under the condition of three-incision laparoscopy, the pure manual duodenal and jejunal double-layer suture method is safe, feasible, and effective for patients with obesity combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
