OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect proanthocyanidin B2(PC-B2) on oxidative damage and apoptosis of mouse astrocytes(AS) induced by hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) and its mechanism. METHODS AS were isolated and cultured from neonatal C57BL/6 mice(1−3 d). The optimal concentration of H2O2 and PC-B2 was divided into four groups: normal group, normal+PC-B2 group(100 μg·mL‒1 PC-B2 treated for 24 h), H2O2 model group(200 μmol·L‒1 H2O2 treated for 24 h), PC-B2 group(200 μmol·L‒1 H2O2 and 100 μg·mL‒1 PC-B2 treated for 24 h). The cell viability of each group was detected by CCK-8 method. Cytotoxicity was detected by LDH method. The antioxidant capacity was detected by ABTS and DPPH. The content of MDA and the activity of SOD, CAT and GSH-Px were detected by ELISA kit. Detection of apoptosis in each group was done by TUNEL staining. The mRNA and protein expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2, Caspase-3, Akt/Stat3, p-Akt, p-Stat3 and Nrf2/HO-1 in AS were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. RESULTS PC-B2 could significantly enhance cell viability and inhibit AS apoptosis. Compared with the H2O2 model group, PC-B2 intervention could significantly reduce the content of LDH and MDA in AS, and increase the activity of SOD, CAT and GSH-Px. PC-B2 intervention could inhibit the mRNA and protein expression of Bax and Caspase-3, and up-regulate the mRNA and protein expression of Akt/Stat3, Bcl-2, Nrf2/HO-1. CONCLUSION PC-B2 can enhance the antioxidant capacity of AS through Akt/Stat3 and Nrf2/HO-1 pathways, therefore reduce H2O2-induced AS oxidative damage and apoptosis.

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) exert an essential contribution to obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to investigate the differences of miRNAs in the presence and absence of T2DM in patients with obesity, as well as before and after bariatric surgery in T2DM patients with obesity. Characterization of the common changes in both was further analyzed. Methods: We enrolled 15 patients with obesity but without T2DM and 15 patients with both obesity and T2DM. Their preoperative clinical data and serum samples were collected, as well as 1 month after bariatric surgery. The serum samples were analyzed by miRNA sequencing, and the miRNAs profiles and target genes characteristics were compared. Results: Patients with T2DM had 16 up-regulated and 32 down-regulated miRNAs compared to patients without T2DM. Improvement in metabolic metrics after bariatric surgery of T2DM patients with obesity was correlated with changes in miRNAs, as evidenced by the upregulation of 20 miRNAs and the downregulation of 30 miRNAs. Analysis of the two miRNAs profiles identified seven intersecting miRNAs that showed opposite changes. The target genes of these seven miRNAs were substantially enriched in terms or pathways associated with T2DM. Conclusion We determined the expression profiles of miRNAs in the obese population, with and without diabetes, before and after bariatric surgery. The miRNAs that intersected in the two comparisons were discovered. Both the miRNAs discovered and their target genes were closely associated with T2DM, demonstrating that they might be potential targets for the regulation of T2DM.

At present, the formal bariatric surgery approved by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) includes adjustable gastric banding (AGB), sleeve gastrectomy (Sleeve gastrectomy, SG). ), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, RYGB), biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS), mini gastric bypass (Mini-gastric bypass, MGB), single anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) and partial endoscopic surgery. According to the Chinese Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (CSMBS), the Chinese Obesity and Metabolic Surgery Database (COMES Database), and the Chinese Obesity and Metabolic Surgery Database (COMES Database), the Chinese Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (CSMBS) Chinese Obesity and Metabolic Surgery Collaborative, COMES Collaborative), Shanghai Weight Loss and Diabetes Surgery Data Management System, Shandong Province Weight Loss and Metabolic Surgery Case Registration System, Jiangsu Province Weight Loss and Metabolic Surgery Data Registration System, Great North China Weight Loss and Metabolic Surgery Statistics from the clinical data database and the Greater China Weight Loss and Metabolic Surgery Database. The domestically developed and approved bariatric surgery methods include RYGB, SG, MGB, OAGB, BPD-DS, AGB, combined sleeve gastrectomy (SG Plus), Jejunoileal Bypass (Jejunoileal Bypass, JJB), single stoma duodenal transposition (SADI-S), intragastric balloon (Balloon). However, there are still some irregular bariatric surgeries in China, which will cause some uncommon complications and bring great pain to patients. At the same time, it is also a huge challenge for regular bariatric surgeons who perform corrective surgeries. This article will review the revision surgery after bariatric surgery in China in the past 20 years, discusses a series of problems caused by non-standard bariatric surgery and the development of regular bariatric surgery.

Among them, 70 patients used continuous suture during OP (continuous suture group), and 51 patients used intermittent suture (interrupted suture group). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative pain score, postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Normally distributed measurement data were measured as (mean ± standard) deviation ( Mean± SD), and t test was used to count the comparison between the two groups. The χ2 test was used to compare the measurement data between groups. The rank data used Wilconxon rank sum test. Results:(1) Intraoperative conditions: the operative time and intraoperative blood loss in the continuous suture group were (124.89±37.69) min and (7.3±2.5) mL, respectively. In the interrupted suture group, the above indexes were (124.80±35.53) min and (7.0±2.5) mL, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( t=0.012, 0.709, P>0.05). (2) Postoperative conditions: postoperative pain score and postoperative hospital stay in the continuous suture group were: mild pain in 45 cases, moderate pain in 25 cases, painless and severe pain in 0 cases, (9.3±3.2) d, respectively. In the interrupted suture group, the above indicators were 39 cases of mild pain, 12 cases of moderate pain, 0 cases of painless and severe pain, (8.7±2.1) d, and there was no statistical significance between the two groups ( Z=-1.431, P>0.05, t=1.149, P>0.05). In the continuous suture group, postoperative abdominal distension occurred in 8 cases, nausea and vomiting in 32 cases, gastroesophageal reflux in 17 cases by upper digestive tract imaging, contrast agent slowly passed through the residual stomach/anastomotic site in 14 cases, gastric volvulus in 6 cases, and no postoperative infection or anastomotic leakage occurred. In the interrupted suture group, the above indexes were 10 cases, 25 cases, 14 cases, 10 cases, gastric volvulus in 1 cases, and no postoperative infection or anastomotic leakage occurred. There was no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( χ2=1.559, 0.010, 0.155, 0.003, 1.308, P>0.05). Conclusions:In laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and omentopexy, there is no significant difference between the continuous suture and interrupted suture in terms of operation time, intraoperative blood loss and postoperative complications. The surgeon can choose a suitable suture method based on his own judgment and experience.

Laparoscopic bariatric and metabolic surgery in China began in 2000. After 20 years of development, it has realized the transformation from nothing to existence and then to rapid development. In this paper, the number of Chinese and English literatures on weight loss and metabolism published in China in the past 20 years, the source of literature institutions, published journals, literature types, key words and other aspects are analyzed. The results show as follows: the number of published literatures is generally increasing, bariatric surgery has changed from gastric bypass and gastric banding to gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, revisional surgery and intestinal flora have been the focus of research in recent years. However, the development of laparoscopic bariatric surgery in China is still in its infancy, and there is few high-level evidence-based multicenter prospective randomized controlled study. Therefore, the authors suggest that more and larger sample, multicenter, randomized controlled studies should be carried out in the future and it requires to develop guidelines suitable for Chinese population. In order to promote the further development of bariatric and metabolic surgery in China, we should establish national data and register clinical data, strergthon the combination of clinical research and basic research and conduct deeper research based on the database.

Objective: To isolate a bacteriophage against pan-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in a burn patient, and to study its biological characteristics, genomic information, and effects on bacterial biofilm. Methods: (1) In 2018, pan-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae UA168 (hereinafter referred to as the host bacteria) solution isolated from the blood of a burn patient in Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine (hereinafter referred to as Ruijin Hospital) was used to isolate and purify the bacteriophage against pan-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae from the sewage of Ruijin Hospital with sewage co-culture method, drip plate method, and double-agar plate method. The bacteriophage was named as phage KP168 and the plaque morphology was observed. (2) The phage KP168 solution was taken for cesium chloride density gradient centrifugation and dialysis, and then the morphology of phage KP168 was observed through transmission electron microscope after phosphotungstic acid negative staining. (3) The phage KP168 solution was taken to determine the lytic ability of the phage KP168 against 20 strains of pan-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from the burned patients′ blood in Ruijin Hospital by the drip plate method, and then the lysis rate was calculated. (4) The phage KP168 solution at a initial titer of 9.3×10¹¹ plaque-forming unit (PFU)/mL (400 μL per tube) and the host bacteria solution at a concentration of 1×10⁹ colony-forming unit (CFU)/mL (4 mL per tube) were conventionally shaking cultured together for 4 hours at multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 10.000, 1.000, 0.100, 0.010, or 0.001, respectively (1 tube per MOI). The titer of phage KP168 was measured by the double-agar plate method (the measurement method was the same below) to select the optimal MOI. The experiment was repeated three times. (5) The host bacteria solution at a concentration of 1×10⁹ CFU/mL (4 mL per tube) and the phage KP168 solution at an adjusted titer of 5×10⁷ PFU/mL (400 μL per tube) were mixed at the MOI of 0.005. The plaques were counted 0 (immediately), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 15, and 30 minutes (1 tube at each time point) after mixing by the double-agar plate method (the counting method was the same below), and the percentage of adsorbed phages was calculated to screen for the optimal adsorption time. The experiment was repeated three times. (6) The host bacteria solution at a concentration of 1×10⁹ CFU/mL (300 μL per tube) and the phage KP168 solution at a titer of 5×10⁸ PFU/mL (60 μL per tube) were mixed at MOI of 0.005 and conventionally shaking cultured after standing for the optimal adsorption time. The phage KP168 titer was measured 0 (immediately), 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 minutes after culture, and a one-step growth curve was drawn. The experiment was repeated three times. (7) The phage KP168 solution at a titer of 2.5×10¹⁰ PFU/mL was left to stand for 1 hour at 37, 40, 50, 60, or 70 ℃ (3 tubes at each time point, 1 mL per tube) for counting the plaques, and then the thermal stability curve was drawn. SM buffer at a pH values of 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 7.4, 8.0, 9.0, or 10.0 were added to the phage KP168 solution at a titer of 3.0×10¹⁰ PFU/mL, respectively. The mixed solution was left to stand for 1 hour at 37 ℃ (3 tubes of each pH, each tube containing 100 μL phage KP168 solution and 900 μL SM buffer), and then the plaques were counted, and an acid-base stability curve was drawn. (8) The phage KP168 solution was taken for DNA extraction and sequencing after dialysis as in experiment (2). The whole genome was annotated with Prokka to obtain the coding sequence of phage KP168. Nucleotide′s BLAST function was used to proceed nucleic acid sequence alignment for finding a known phage with the highest similarity to the phage KP168 nucleic acid sequence, and Blastx function was used to translate the coding sequence into protein for its function prediction. The comparison with Antibiotic Resistance Genes Database and Virulence Factors Database was proceeded. (9) In a 96-well plate, at a MOI of 1.000, 0.100, 0.010 or 0.001 (3 wells per MOI), 20 μL phage KP168 solution at a initial titer of 5.8×10¹⁰ PFU/mL was added to 200 μL host bacteria solution at a concentration of 1.5×10⁸ CFU/mL (the same concentration below) for co-cultivation for 48 hours. After 200 μL host bacteria solution was left to stand for 48 hours, 20 μL phage KP168 solution at a titer of 1×10^6, 1×10^7, 1×10^8, 1×10^9, or 1×10¹⁰ PFU/mL (3 wells per titer) was added respectively for action for 4 hours. In both experiments, 200 μL host bacteria solution added with 20 μL SM buffer (3 wells) acted as a negative control, and 220 μL LB culture medium (3 wells) acted as a blank control. Absorbance values were measured by a microplate reader, and inhibition/destruction rates of biofilm were calculated. The experiments were both repeated three times. Results: (1) The plaques of phage KP168 successfully isolated and purified were transparent and round, and its diameter was approximately 1.5 mm. (2) The phage KP168 has a regular polyhedron structure with a diameter of about 50 nm and without a tail. (3) The phage KP168 could lyse 13 of 20 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae from burned patients, with a lysis rate of 65.0%. (4) When MOI was 1.000, the titer was the highest after co-culturing the phage KP168 with the host bacteria for 4 hours, which was the optimal MOI. (5) After the mixing of the phage KP168 with the host bacteria for 4 minutes, the percentage of the adsorbed phage reached the highest, which was the optimal adsorption time. (6) The one-step growth curve showed that during the lysis of the host bacteria by phage KP168, the incubation period was about 10 minutes, and the lysis period was about 40 minutes. (7) With the condition of 40 ℃ or pH 7.4, the number of plaques and the activity of phage KP168 reached the highest. (8) The genome of phage KP168 was a linear double-stranded DNA with a length of 40 114 bp. There were 48 possible coding sequences. It had the highest similarity to Klebsiella phage_vB_Kp1. The most similar known proteins corresponding to the translated proteins of coding sequences contained 23 hypothetical proteins and 25 proteins with known functions. No resistance genes or virulence factor genes were found. The GeneBank accession number was KT367885. (9) After 48 hours of co-cultivation of the phage KP168 and the host bacteria at each MOI, the inhibition rates of biofilm were similar, with an average of about 45%. After the phage KP168 with a titer of 1×10⁹ PFU/mL acted on the biofilm formed by the host bacteria for 4 h, the destruction rate of biofilm was the highest, reaching an average of 42%. Conclusions In this study, a bacteriophage against pan-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae from a burn patient, phage KP168, is isolated from sewage, which belongs to the tailless phage. It has a wide host spectrum, short adsorption time, and short incubation period, with certain thermal and acid-base stability. Its genomic information is clear, and it does not contain resistance genes or virulence factor genes. It also has an inhibitory effect on the formation of bacterial biofilm and a destructive effect on the formed bacterial biofilm.

Objective:To explore the effects of the application of membrane anatomy concept in sleeve gastrectomy on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients with obesity or metabolic diseases.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Clinical data of 88 patients with obesity or metabolic diseases who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in The First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University from September 2018 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Forty patients underwent sleeve gastrectomy with membrane anatomy concept as membrane anatomy group, and the other 48 patients underwent traditional sleeve gastrectomy as traditional operation group. There were no significant differences in baseline data between the two groups (all P>0.05). The PONV score of and the times of antiemetic drugs used during 0-6 h and 6-24 h after operation were compared between the two groups. Higher PONV represents more serious nause and vomiting, the score ≥5 is defined as clinical significant PONV. Results:All patients of the two groups successfully completed the operation, and there was no conversion to open, reoperation, and operation-related death. The intraoperative blood loss in the membrane anatomy group was significantly less than that in the traditional surgery group [median: 5.0 (5.0, 5.8) ml vs. 10.0 (5.0, 10.0) ml, Z=-3.265, P=0.001]. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of operative time, postoperative hospital stay, gastroesophageal reflux, pain score and postoperative complications (all P>0.05). There was no postoperative bleeding or gastric leakage in either groups. There were no significant differences in PONV score, incidence of clinically significant PONV and use of antiemetics 0-6 h after operation between two groups (all P>0.05). From 6 to 24 hours after operation, compared with traditional surgery group, the membrane anatomy group had lower PONV score (4.6±0.9 vs. 5.1±0.7, t=-2.192, P=0.007), lower incidence of clinically significant PONV [55.0% (22/40) vs. 83.3% (40/48), χ 2=8.414, P=0.004] and less use of antiemetics [3 times: 10.0% (4/40) vs. 27.1% (13/48), Z=-2.880, P=0.004]. Postoperative follow-up ranged from 1 to 6 months (median 3), 32 cases in membranous anatomy group and 38 cases in the traditional operation group were followed up. One case in the traditional operation group received symptomatic treatment in the local hospital due to functional intestinal obstruction 1 month after surgery and was discharged after recovery. The remaining patients had no postoperative complications and were not readmitted to hospital. Conclusion:Sleeve gastrectomy based on membrane anatomy in the treatment of patients with obesity or metabolic syndrome can make surgical procedure more precise and meticulous, reduce the intraoperative bleeding and the incidence of PONV.
