With the development of social economy and the change of lifestyle and working environment, the number of obese and diabetic population has increased significantly. Obesity is closely related to diabetes mellitus with interaction. Among the patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), the cardiovascular risk of T1DM with obesity is significantly higher than those of lean T1DM. The mortality of T1DM with obesity is significantly higher than that of the general population, which poses a great threat to human health, making it become one of the serious public health problems we have to face at present. However, the traditional treatment method of obesity and diabetes has limited effects and fails to effectively solve obesity, diabetes mellitus and its complications. The birth of bariatric surgery brings a new hope to the treatment of obesity and diabetes. After more than half of a century progress, bariatric surgery has become an effective way to cure or relieve obesity, type 2 diabetes and other metabolic syndromes, which is included in the diabetes treatment guidelines. In patients with diabetes, there are a large number of T1DM patients with obesity being in urgent need of surgical treatment, but only a few patients were reported. From the existing papers and case reports , we can see parameters in many aspects, such as BMI, insulin requirement per day, blood pressure and blood plasma lipid, were significantly reduced after bariatric surgery as well as insulin resistance, diabetic complications, polycystic ovarian syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome were improved or even reversed. However, bariatric surgery in treating T1DM with obesity has not yet reached a consensus in the medical community and not been written to diabetes treatment guidelines. In this paper, the operation methods and mechanism, curative effects, disadvantages and its preventive measures, current status and perspective of bariatric surgery in treating T1DM with obesity are reviewed so as to provide reference for clinical practice.

2.Caged Pancreatic Islet for IDDM.
Yonsei Medical Journal 2004;45(Suppl):S56-S60
The goals of this research are to improve the functionality (insulin secretion rate and pattern) and to expand the life-span of immunoprotected pancreatic islets. The low functionality (less than 15% of the insulin release rate of native islets in pancreas) required a large number of islets within the implant, which causes complications in surgery and discomfort for patients. The limited life-span of the islets in a biohybrid artificial pancreas (BAP) may require frequent cell reseeding and cause further supply problems in islet transplantation. Improved islet functionality and prolonged life-span will minimize the volume of the BAP by reducing the number of islets needed for diabetic patients to achieve normoglycaemia and reduce problems associated with islet supply. It is hypothesized in this research that 1) by mimicking facilitated oxygen transport in avascular tissues, the immunoprotected islets release a higher amount of insulin, recover their intrinsic biphasic release pattern, and prolong their life-span, and 2) insulinotropic agents further promote insulin secretion from islets. Based on these hypotheses, a new BAP system will be designed which contains the water-soluble polymeric conjugates of oxygen carriers (or oxygen binding vehicles) and islet stimulants of sulfonylurea compounds and glucagon-like insulinotropic peptide-1 with entrapped islets in the BAP. The research examines their effects on islet viability, the amount of insulin secretion, the insulin release profile, and the life-span of immunoprotected pancreatic islets. Especially, the combined synergy effects of both hypotheses will be emphasized. The successful results in improving functionality and life- span of islets entrapped in an immunoprotected membrane can be applied in the delivery of microencapsulated therapeutic cells and to the miniaturization of a BAP. In addition, the approaches proposed in this research will provide a potential solution to the shortage problem of human cell or tissue sources.

At present, surgery has become one of the treatments for type 2 diabetes, but it is still unclear about the therapeutic mechanism. Many experiments has proved that the anatomical and physiological structure has been altered leading to significant changes related to the secretion of gastrointestinal hormones and neuropeptides. These molecular are related to the metabolism of glucose, functions of islet cells and sensitivity of insulin. Intensive studies of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) play an important role in the surgical treatment of diabetes and now it has gained increasing recognition. However, GLP-1 must be combined with GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) to execute its function. In this paper we reviewed the role of GLP-1 and its receptor in the mechanism of metabolic surgery.

In the conventional treatments of type I diabetes, there are various problems. As a new adequate treatment of diabetes, cell replacement therapy of diabetes has been applied and given research priority. We have investigated the applications of cell transplantation in the treatment of diabetes and have retrieved the relevant articles on cells transplantation for the treatment of diabetes. In this paper, we review the history, development, merits and demerits of cell transplantation and the recent advances in pancreatic islet transplantation research. The latest progress in the induction of stem cell to differentiate into the insulin-producing cells was also introduced.

Weight loss is an important goal in the management of several chronic conditions, including type 2 diabetes mellitus, and pharmacological therapies that aid weight loss are appealing. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are novel glucose-lowering therapies that have been shown to induce clinically significant reductions in body weight. However, this weight loss may not be attributed solely to fat mass (FM). Given the importance of skeletal muscle and lean body mass (LBM) on cardio-metabolic health and physical function, we reviewed the available literature reporting the effects of GLP-1RAs and SGLT2is on body composition. Results demonstrate that, in most circumstances, the weight loss associated with both therapies predominantly comprises a reduction in FM, although significant heterogeneity exists between studies. In over half of the studies identified, the proportion of LBM reduction ranged between 20% and 50% of total weight lost, which is consistent with diet-induced weight loss and bariatric surgery. No clear differences existed between GLP-1RAs and SGLT2is. Consequently, the loss of LBM and skeletal muscle associated with weight loss induced by GLP-1RAs and SGLT2is warrants attention. Strategies to preserve skeletal muscle and improve physical function, for example through structured exercise, are of great importance.

BACKGROUND:
There is still uncertainty regarding whether diabetes mellitus (DM) can adversely affect patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for carotid stenosis. The aim of the study was to assess the adverse impact of DM on patients with carotid stenosis treated by CEA.
METHODS:
Eligible studies published between 1 January 2000 and 30 March 2023 were selected from the PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, CENTRAL, and ClinicalTrials databases. The short-term and long-term outcomes of major adverse events (MAEs), death, stroke, the composite outcomes of death/stroke, and myocardial infarction (MI) were collected to calculate the pooled effect sizes (ESs), 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and prevalence of adverse outcomes. Subgroup analysis by asymptomatic/symptomatic carotid stenosis and insulin/noninsulin-dependent DM was performed.
RESULTS:
A total of 19 studies (n = 122,003) were included. Regarding the short-term outcomes, DM was associated with increased risks of MAEs (ES = 1.52, 95% CI: [1.15-2.01], prevalence = 5.1%), death/stroke (ES = 1.61, 95% CI: [1.13-2.28], prevalence = 2.3%), stroke (ES = 1.55, 95% CI: [1.16-1.55], prevalence = 3.5%), death (ES = 1.70, 95% CI: [1.25-2.31], prevalence =1.2%), and MI (ES = 1.52, 95% CI: [1.15-2.01], prevalence = 1.4%). DM was associated with increased risks of long-term MAEs (ES = 1.24, 95% CI: [1.04-1.49], prevalence = 12.2%). In the subgroup analysis, DM was associated with an increased risk of short-term MAEs, death/stroke, stroke, and MI in asymptomatic patients undergoing CEA and with only short-term MAEs in the symptomatic patients. Both insulin- and noninsulin-dependent DM patients had an increased risk of short-term and long-term MAEs, and insulin-dependent DM was also associated with the short-term risk of death/stroke, death, and MI.
CONCLUSIONS
In patients with carotid stenosis treated by CEA, DM is associated with short-term and long-term MAEs. DM may have a greater impact on adverse outcomes in asymptomatic patients after CEA. Insulin-dependent DM may have a more significant impact on post-CEA adverse outcomes than noninsulin-dependent DM. Whether DM management could reduce the risk of adverse outcomes after CEA requires further investigation.

BACKGROUNDBariatric surgery offers a productive resolution of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The development of T2DM vasculopathy is due to chronic inflammation, which increases matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) expression. This study sought to examine MMP-9 and TIMP-1 expression in the thoracic aorta after duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB) surgery on a T2DM rat model induced by a high-fat diet and low dose streptozotocin (STZ).
METHODSTwenty-one T2DM Wistar rats induced by high-fat diet and low dose STZ were randomly divided into DJB and sham duodenal-jejunal bypass (S-DJB) groups. Ten Wistar rats were fed a normal diet as a control. Recovery of gastrointestinal function post-operation and resumption of a normal diet completed the experiment. Body weight, blood glucose, blood lipid levels, and MMP-9 and TIMP-1 expression levels in aortic endothelial cells were measured throughout.
RESULTSDJB rats showed significant weight loss 2 weeks post-operation compared with S-DJB rats. After surgery, DJB rats showed significant improvement and steady glycemic control with improved insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. They also exhibited improved lipid metabolism with a decrease in fasting free fatty acids (FFAs) and triglycerides (all P < 0.05). Immunohistochemistry showed decreased MMP-9 and TIMP-1 expression 12 weeks after surgery (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONSDJB surgery on an induced T2DM rat model improves blood glucose levels and lipids, following a high-fat diet and low dose STZ treatment. In addition, DJB decreased MMP-9 and TIMP-1 expression in vascular endothelial cells, which may play an important role in delaying the development of T2DM vascular disease.

OBJECTIVETo summarize the initial experience of simultaneous pancreas kidney transplantation (SPK) with portal venous and enteric drainage.
METHODSBetween Jane 2001 and Jane 2003, SPK were performed in 5 patients. Systemic venous-enteric drainage (SED) was used in the first 2 patients and portal venous-enteric drainage (PED) in the last 3 cases. All patient were immunosuppressed with quadruple therapy, which included anti-CD25 mAb (Zenapax/Simulect) induction therapy, FK506, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), and prednisone baseline therapy. The complications were analyzed.
RESULTSSerum glucose and renal function of the 5 cases were normal and no further insulin was needed within 7 days post-operation. No technique complications such as duodenal fistula and thrombosis were observed, One episode of acute rejection of kidney allograft occurred in one patient with SED, and resolved with a bolus corticosteroids. One case with SED and one with PED were died of sepsis and FK506 toxicity 4 weeks after transplantation. The death occurred with functioning pancreas graft. No latter complications were observed in the 3 survived patients with excellent graft functions.
CONCLUSIONSBoth methods of SED and PED can be performed successfully and with no latter complications. But with its potential physiologic and immunologic advantages, PED might be a standard procedure for SPK.

Pancreatic islet transplantation is a physiologically advantageous and minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Here, we describe the first reported case of successful allogeneic islet transplantation alone, using single-donor, marginal-dose islets in a Korean patient. A 59-yr-old patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus, who suffered from recurrent severe hypoglycemia, received 4,163 islet equivalents/kg from a single brain-death donor. Isolated islets were infused intraportally without any complications. The immunosuppressive regimen was based on the Edmonton protocol, but the maintenance dosage was reduced because of mucositis and leukopenia. Although insulin independence was not achieved, the patient showed stabilized blood glucose concentration, reduced insulin dosage and reversal of hypoglycemic unawareness, even with marginal dose of islets and reduced immunosuppressant. Islet transplantation may successfully improve endogenous insulin production and glycemic stability in subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of treatment on end-stage liver disease and type-I diabetes mellitus with simultaneous liver-pancreas-duodenum transplantation.
METHODIn September 2003, one patient with chronic hepatitis B, liver cirrhosis, hepatic cellular cancer, and insulin-dependent diabetes received simultaneous orthotopic liver and heterotopic pancreas-duodenum transplantation. Liver and pancreas graft function was monitored after transplantation.
RESULTSThe function of pancreas allograft was recovered immediately and the patient became insulin-independence postoperatively. The liver allograft was experienced an acute rejection episode and reversed by intravenous bolus methylprednisolone. The recipient was currently liver disease-free and insulin-free more than 21 months.
CONCLUSIONSThe simultaneous liver-pancreas-duodenum transplantation is an effective method in the treatment of end-stage liver disease and type-I diabetes mellitus.
