Abstract Objective Marginal ulcer (MU) is a serious complication after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) procedures. This study reports the incidence, risk factors and treatment outcomes of symptomatic and incidentally, at routine endoscopy diagnosed, MU. Methods All patients undergoing RYGB procedures between 2013 and 2018 at a single center were included. Upper endoscopy was performed in case of symptoms and/or routinely 2 and 5 years postoperatively. Results 568 patients (83.3% female) underwent RYGB procedure with a median age of 40 years and median initial body mass index of 41 kg/m2. Median time to follow-up was 2.99 years. Routine 2- and 5-year upper endoscopy was performed in 256 (55.3%) and 65 (38.0%) eligible patients, respectively. In 86 (15.1%) patients, MU was diagnosed at a median time of 14.2 months (4.58 – 26.2) postoperatively and 24.4% of patients with MU were asymptomatic. 76.7% of MUs were located on the side of the Roux-limb. 88.4% of MUs were treated conservatively; re-operation was necessary in 10 (11.6%) patients. Smoking and type 2 diabetes mellitus were the only independent risk factors for MU development in multivariate analysis with a hazard ratio of 2.65 and 1.18 (HbA1c per unit >6.0), respectively. Conclusion MU is a common complication after gastric bypass surgery with 25% of patients being asymptomatic. Follow-up routine endoscopy is recommended for early MU detection and subsequent accurate therapy, especially in patients with the independent risk factors smoking and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objectives. As a screening index of diabetic kidney disease (DKD), urinary albumin/creatine ratio (UACR) is commonly used. However, approximately 23.3%-56.6% of DKD patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate eGFR<60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 are normoalbuminuric. Thus, urinary biomarkers of nonalbuminuric renal insufficiency in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients are urgently needed. Methods. This cross-sectional study enrolled 209 T2DM patients with normoalbuminuria whose diabetes duration was more than 5 years. The patients were classified into two groups, NO-CKD (eGFR≥60 ml/min per 1.73 m2, n=165) and NA-DKD (eGFR<60 ml/min per 1.73 m2, n=44). Levels of urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), retinol-binding protein (RBP), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and E-cadherin were detected, and their correlations with eGFR, plasma TNF-α, IL-6, endothelin-1 (ET-1), and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) were assessed. Results. Among patients with renal insufficiency, 26.0% was normoalbuminuric. Compared to the NO-CKD group, the NA-DKD group was older with lower hemoglobin (HB) levels and higher systolic blood pressure (SBP), plasma TNF-α, IL-6, and 8-OHdG levels. Logistic regression analysis suggested that age, TNF-α, and 8-OHdG were independent risk factors for nonalbuminuric renal insufficiency. Compared to the NO-CKD group, the NA-DKD group exhibited significant increases in urinary NGAL and RBP levels but not PAI-1, VCAM-1, and E-cadherin. Urinary NGAL and RBP both correlated negatively with eGFR and positively with plasma IL-6 and 8-OHdG. Multiple linear regression indicated NGAL (β=−0.287, p=0.008) and RBP (β=−44.545, p<0.001) were independently correlated with eGFR. Conclusion. Age, plasma TNF-α, and 8-OHdG are independent risk factors for renal insufficiency in T2DM patients with normoalbuminuria. Urinary NGAL and RBP can serve as noninvasive biomarkers of normoalbuminuric renal insufficiency in T2DM.

Background: Patients with heart failure (HF) with diabetes mellitus have distinct biomarker profiles compared with those without diabetes mellitus. SFRP5 (secreted frizzled-related protein 5) is an anti-inflammatory adipokine with an important suppressing role on the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of SFRP5 in patients with HF with and without T2DM. Methods: The study included 833 consecutive patients with HF, 312 (37.5%) of whom had T2DM. Blood samples were collected at presentation, and SFRP5 levels were measured. The primary outcome was the composite end points of first occurrence of HF rehospitalization or all-cause mortality during follow-up. Results: During median follow-up of 2.1 years, 335 (40.2%) patients in the cohort experienced the composite primary outcome. After adjustment for multiple risk factors, each doubling of SFRP5 level was associated with a 21% decreased risk of primary outcomes in the overall study population ( P <0.001). Subgroup analyses showed that the association between level of SFPR5 and primary outcomes may be stronger in patients with T2DM (hazard ratio, 0.69 [95% CI, 0.61–0.79]) than in patients without T2DM (hazard ratio, 0.89 [95% CI, 0.79–1.01]; interaction P =0.006). Similar associations were observed when taking SFRP5 as a categorical variable. Addition of SFRP5 significantly improved discrimination and reclassification of the incident primary outcomes beyond clinical risk factors and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide in all patients with HF and those with T2DM (all P <0.01). Conclusions: SFRP5 is an independent novel biomarker for risk stratification in HF, especially in HF with T2DM.

It would be important to predict type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and diabetic nephropathy (DN). This study was aimed at evaluating the predicting significance of hemostatic parameters for T2DM and DN. Plasma coagulation and hematologic parameters before treatment were measured in 297 T2DM patients. The risk factors and their predicting power were evaluated. T2DM patients without complications exhibited significantly different activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), platelet (PLT), and D-dimer (D-D) levels compared with controls (P<0.01). Fibrinogen (FIB), PLT, and D-D increased in DN patients compared with those without complications (P<0.001). Both aPTT and PLT were the independent risk factors for T2DM (OR: 1.320 and 1.211, P<0.01, resp.), and FIB and PLT were the independent risk factors for DN (OR: 1.611 and 1.194, P<0.01, resp.). The area under ROC curve (AUC) of aPTT and PLT was 0.592 and 0.647, respectively, with low sensitivity in predicting T2DM. AUC of FIB was 0.874 with high sensitivity (85%) and specificity (76%) for DN, and that of PLT was 0.564, with sensitivity (60%) and specificity (89%) based on the cutoff values of 3.15 g/L and 245 × 109/L, respectively. This study suggests that hemostatic parameters have a low predicting value for T2DM, whereas fibrinogen is a powerful predictor for DN.
