Objective To design an appropriate preoperative questionnaire in Chinese bariatric surgery.Methods Bariatric surgery center carried out laparoscopic bariatric operation from January 2010,preoperative questionnaire before the operation were supplied.Till January 2014,a total of 401 patients replied to the survey.The questionnaires were designed through three stages:translated from the Cleveland Clinic (USA) and applied in 30 patients for the first survey; adjustments and changes to the contents of the questionnaire for 90 patients according to Chinese conditions in the second phase; in the third stage,the third edition questionnaire was used in 281 patients.The satisfaction degree of the doctors and patients about the content of the questionnaire was evaluated.Results For the three versions of the questionnaire,the doctor satisfaction rate was 73.3％,86.7％ and 96.8％.Patients' satisfaction rate of three versions were 30.0％,40.0％,76.9％,not satisfactory rate was 20.0％,11.1％,2.8％.Conclusions The current preoperative questionnaire includes 11 categories with 101 items of the third edition,doctors and patients satisfaction rate is higher,and it is suitable for Chinese bariatric surgery.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of CD28 expression on peripheral blood T lymphocytes in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).Methods Flow cytometry and tri-color direct immunofluorescence were used to examine CD3 + T lymphocyte subsets and CD28 expression in whole blood (using the no-wash method) from 36 children with JIA.Results During the active phase of disease,the frequency of CD28 + expression on both CD4 + and CD8 + T cells in the peripheral blood of children with JIA was significantly lower than in normal controls (P ＜ 0.01).The frequency of CD4 + CD28-T cells in the peripheral blood of children with JIA was significantly higher than in normal controls (P ＜ 0.01).CD4 + T cell counts in the peripheral blood of children with JIA,which were mostly of the CD4 + CD28-T cell subtype,were significantly higher than in normal controls (P ＜ 0.01),whereas the CD8 + T cell count was significantly reduced (P ＜0.01).During the resting phase,CD4 +/CD8 + T cell counts and CD28 expression in the peripheral blood of children with JIA were significantly different from normal controls (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The frequency of CD4 + CD28-T cells can be used as an indicator of the active phase of JIA.CD4 + T cell and CD4+ CD28-T cell apoptosis was inhibited in JIA patients.These immune-active T lymphocytes with continued survival can promote the occurrence and development of JIA.

Objective To investigate the efficacies of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy + duodenojejunal bypass (DJB) and laparoscopic gastric bypass in the treatment of patients with non-obese type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods The clinical data of 42 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and body mass index (BMI) ＜ 30 kg/m2 received surgical treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2012 to June 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Fifteen patients received laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy + DJB (Sleeve + DJB group),and 27 received Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB group).The follow-up time for all the patients was more than 6 months.The decrease of BMI,complete remission of T2DM,decrease of fasting glycemia and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc),postoperative nutritional condition and the incidence of complications of the 2 groups were compared.The measurement data were analyzed using the t test and the repeated measurement chi-square test.Results The operation time of the Sleeve + DJB group and the RYGB group were (137 ± 61)minutes and (89 ± 43) minutes,with significant difference between the 2 groups (t =6.158,P ＜ 0.05).No mortality and hemorrhage,bowel obstruction and anastomotic stenosis were detected.One patient was complicated with bile leakage in the Sleeve + DJB group,and was cured by conservative treatment 5 days later.The levels of fasting glucose before operation and at postoperative month 1,3,6 were (8.9 ± 0.7) mmol/L,(5.8 ± 1.3) mmoL/L,(5.6 ±1.8) mmol/L and (5.7 ± 0.3) mmol/L in the Sleeve + DJB group,and (9.9 ± 1.2) mmol/L,(6.9 ± 0.8) mmol/L,(6.6 ± 2.2) mmol/L and (5.6 ± 0.8) mmol/L,with no significant difference between the 2 groups (F =1.670,2.932,0.444,0.158,P ＞ 0.05).The levels of HbAle before operation and at postoperative months 1,3,6 were 7.4％± 1.4％,6.5％ ±0.6％,5.7％±0.5％,5.9％ ±0.6％ in the Sleeve + DJB group,and 7.7％± 2.0％,6.8％ ± 1.3％,5.7％±0.8％,5.6％ ± 1.1％ in the RYGB group,with no significant difference between the 2 groups (F =0.055,0.125,0.005,0.286,P ＞ 0.05).The remission rates of T2DM of the Sleeve + DJB group and the RYGB group were 14/15 and 74.1％ (20/27) at postoperative month 6,with no significant difference between the 2 groups (x2 =2.320,P ＞ 0.05).The decrease rate of BMI of the Sleeve + DJB group and the RYGB group were 18.2％±9.5％ and 21.2％ ± 4.9％,with no significant difference between the 2 groups (t =0.982,P ＞0.05).The numbers of patients with postoperative anaemia,avitaminosis and diarrhea were 0,0,2 in the Sleeve + DJB group and 3,2,6 in the RYGB group,with no significant difference between the 2 groups (x2=1.795,1.167,0.908,P ＞0.05).The BMIs of all the patients were above 19 kg/m2.Conclusion The effects and incidence of postoperative complications of Sleeve + DJB for the treatment of T2DM are comparable to those of RYGB.Sleeve + DJB has less interference on the nutritional condition of patients compared with RYGB.

Objective To compare the difficult degree,differences in gastric pouch volume,the complications,and postoperative weight loss effect of two gastric pouch practices in laparoscopic gastric bypass for bariatrics.Methods We retrospectively analyzed laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery in 76 bariatrics cases from May 2010 to May 2012.Two methods were used to create gastric pouch,among which 39 cases were operated with the dissection landmark method (called dissection),and 37 cases with bougie airbags 30 ml (called the bougie).Parameters were compared between the 2 groups including operation time for gastric pouch,the amount of staple cartridges,intraoperative complications,blood loss,and postoperative excess weight loss percentage (EWL ％),the postoperative bleeding,obstruction,fistula and other complications.Results All patients were followed up for more than one month.The dissection group used longer time in creating gastric pouch than that in the bougie group [(58 ± 27) min,(42 ±21) min,P ＜ 0.01].The number of staple cartridges used were significantly different between the two groups [(6.2 ±3.0),(4.3 ± 2.0),P ＜ 0.01].There were 10 cases of complications in the dissection group (26％),and 3 cases in the bougie group (8％) (P ＜0.05).One month after the surgery,one each patient had transient hematochezia.There was no gastric pouch-related complications in the two groups postoperation.There was no difference in excess weight loss (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The two methods can achieve the same effect on excess weight loss.The bougie method used less time in creating the gastric pouch,less consumable materials,and less complications occurred in creating gastric pouch.

AIM: To investigate the change of corrected vision and stereo vision in anisometropic patients after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).METHODS: The clinical data of 84 cases of anisometropic children(84 eyes) were retrospective analyzed.The changes of corrected visual acuity and stereopsis of different gender,age,type of amblyopia in children anisometropic before treatment,after treatment for 3,6mo and 1a were analyzed.The stereoscopic vision correction correlation were analyzed.RESULTS: Corrected Log MAR visual acuity and stereopsis of 84 patients after LASIK surgery treatment for 3mo,and 1a later significantly decreased than before treatment (P<0.05).The corrected Log MAR visual acuity and stereopsis of male and female after treatment for 3,6mo and 1a was not statistically significant (P>0.05).Corrected visual acuity of age <30 group for 3,6mo and 1a was significantly lower than the age ≥30 group (P<0.05).After 3,6mo and 1a stereo vision with hyperopic anisometropia amblyopia decreased more than that with myopic anisometropia amblyopia(P<0.05),but corrected Log MAR visual acuity after treatment was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05).Improved correctted vision of anisometropic patients after LASIK surgery had no connection with the decrease of stereo vision(P>0.05).CONCLUSION: LASIK surgery can improve visual acuity in patients with anisometropia amblyopia,but the course of treatment of visual acuity and stereopsis affected by age and type of amblyopia.

Objective To assess the lipid profiles of obese patients undergoing laparoscopic gastric by-pass surgery.Methods A retrospective observational study was performed , involving 25 patients(BMI>28 kg/m2 ) who consecutively underwent gastric bypass surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical Univer -sity from Oct.2010 to Dec.2012.For the surgery, a small gastric pouch about 30 ml was performed with 100 cm biliopancreatic limb and 100-200 cm alimentary limb.Total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),high density lip-oprotein( HDL) and low density lipoprotein ( LDL) at baseline and 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after surgery were measured.Related complications were recorded .Results All surgeries were performed laparoscopically and no serious complications occurred .TC, TG, and LDL significantly reduced after the surgery (P<0.05 for all).In-versely, HDL disclosed a significant rise(P<0.05).Of the lipid profiles at baseline, only HDL concentration displayed a correlation with BMI .Percentage of excess weight loss ( PEWL ) displayed significant correlation with the variety of TG、LDL、HDL after surgery(P<0.05 for all).Conclusions Laparoscopic gastric bypass is a safe operation which improves the lipid metabolism of obese patients .The operation can decrease the concentration of TC, TG, LDL and increase HDL level .
