Background::The effect of bariatric surgery on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) control can be assessed based on predictive models of T2DM remission. Various models have been externally verified internationally. However, long-term validated results after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) surgery are lacking. The best model for the Chinese population is also unknown.Methods::We retrospectively analyzed Chinese population data 5 years after LSG at Beijing Shijitan Hospital in China between March 2009 and December 2016. The independent t-test, Mann–Whitney U test, and chi-squared test were used to compare characteristics between T2DM remission and non-remission groups. We evaluated the predictive efficacy of each model for longterm T2DM remission after LSG by calculating the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, Youden index, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and predicted-to-observed ratio, and performed calibration using Hosmer–Lemeshow test for 11 prediction models. Results::We enrolled 108 patients, including 44 (40.7%) men, with a mean age of 35.5 years. The mean body mass index was 40.3 ± 9.1 kg/m 2, the percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) was (75.9 ± 30.4)%, and the percentage of total weight loss (% TWL) was (29.1 ± 10.6)%. The mean glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level was (7.3 ± 1.8)% preoperatively and decreased to (5.9 ± 1.0)% 5 years after LSG. The 5-year postoperative complete and partial remission rates of T2DM were 50.9% [55/108] and 27.8% [30/108], respectively. Six models, i.e., "ABCD", individualized metabolic surgery (IMS), advanced-DiaRem, DiaBetter, Dixon et al’s regression model, and Panunzi et al’s regression model, showed a good discrimination ability (all AUC >0.8). The "ABCD" (sensitivity, 74%; specificity, 80%; AUC, 0.82 [95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.74–0.89]), IMS (sensitivity, 78%; specificity, 84%; AUC, 0.82 [95% CI: 0.73–0.89]), and Panunzi et al’s regression models (sensitivity, 78%; specificity, 91%; AUC, 0.86 [95% CI: 0.78–0.92]) showed good discernibility. In the Hosmer–Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, except for DiaRem ( P <0.01), DiaBetter ( P <0.01), Hayes et al ( P = 0.03), Park et al ( P = 0.02), and Ramos-Levi et al’s ( P <0.01) models, all models had a satifactory fit results ( P >0.05). The P values of calibration results of the "ABCD" and IMS were 0.07 and 0.14, respectively. The predicted-to-observed ratios of the "ABCD" and IMS were 0.87 and 0.89, respectively. Conclusion::The prediction model IMS was recommended for clinical use because of excellent predictive performance, good statistical test results, and simple and practical design features.

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.

Objective This study aims to develop a medical patch surface material featuring a microporous polyurethane(PU)membrane and to assess the material's properties and biological performance.The goal is to enhance the clinical applicability of pelvic floor repair patch materials.Methods PU films with a microporous surface were prepared using PU prepolymer foaming technology.The films were produced by optimizing the PU prepolymer isocyanate index(R value)and the relative humidity(RH)of the foaming environment.The surface morphology of the PU microporous films was observed by scanning electron microscopy,and the chemical properties of the PU microporous films,including hydrophilicity,were analyzed using infrared spectroscopy,Raman spectroscopy,and water contact angle measurements.In vitro evaluations included testing the effects of PU microporous film extracts on the proliferation of L929 mouse fibroblasts and observing the adhesion and morphology of these fibroblasts.Additionally,the effect of the PU microporous films on RAW264.7 mouse macrophages was studied.Immune response and tissue regeneration were assessed in vivo using Sprague Dawley(SD)rats.Results The PU films exhibited a well-defined and uniform microporous structure when the R value of PU prepolymer=1.5 and the foaming environment RH=70%.The chemical structure of the PU microporous films was not significantly altered compared to the PU films,with a significantly lower water contact angle([55.7±1.5]°)compared to PU films([69.5±1.7]°)and polypropylene(PP)([104.3±2.5]°),indicating superior hydrophilicity.The extracts from PU microporous films demonstrated good in vitro biocompatibility,promoting the proliferation of L929 mouse fibroblasts.The surface morphology of the PU microporous films facilitated fibroblast adhesion and spreading.The films also inhibited the secretion of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin(IL)-1β by RAW264.7 macrophages while enhancing IL-10 and IL-4 secretion.Compared to 24 hours,after 72 hours of culture,the expression levels of TNF-α and IL-1β were reduced in both the PU film and PU microporous film groups and were significantly lower than those in the PP film group(P<0.05),with the most notable decreases observed in the PU microporous film group.IL-10 and IL-4 levels increased significantly in the PU microporous film group,surpassing those in the PP film group(P<0.01),with the most pronounced increase in IL-4.The PU microporous film induced mild inflammation with no significant fibrous capsule formation in vivo.After 60 days of implantation,the film partially degraded,showing extensive collagen fiber growth and muscle formation in its central region.Conclusion The PU microporous film exhibits good hydrophilicity and biocompatibility.Its surface morphology enhances cell adhesion,regulates the function of RAW264.7 macrophages,and promotes tissue repair,offering new insights for the design of pelvic floor repair and reconstruction patch materials.

Objective:To explore the effects of Baduanjin combined with resistance exercise in rural elderly.Methods:From May to September 2020, totally 80 aged people from 2 villages in Hebei province were selected by convenient sampling. Patients from one village were randomly included into an intervention group ( n=40) , and patients from the other village were included into a control group ( n=40) . Patients in the control group took daily activities and exercise, and received only health education, while patients in the intervention group practiced Baduanjin combined with resistance exercise in addition to daily activities. The Chinese version of Fried Frailty Phenotype Assessment Components, Time Up and Go Test (TUGT) , Five-Times Sit-to-Stand Test (FTSST) , and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used to evaluate the frailty, balance ability, lower limb muscle strength, and sleep quality of the two groups of rural elderly before and after the intervention. In this study, totally 80 questionnaires were distributed, and 78 valid questionnaires were recovered, accounting for an effective recovery rate of 97.5%. Results:The Chinese version of Fried Frailty Phenotype Assessment Components and PSQI scores of the rural elderly in the intervention group after the intervention were lower than those in the control group and before the intervention, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The TUGT and FTSST time of the rural elderly in the intervention group after the intervention were shorter than those in the control group and before the intervention, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:Baduanjin combined with resistance exercise can delay the debilitating state of rural elderly, improve their lower limb muscle strength, balance ability and sleep quality, and enrich their exercise methods.
