Background Fetuin-A and leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin-2 (LECT-2) are liver-derived proteins. Fetuin-A is an independent risk factor for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obese patients with T2D have higher plasma fetuin-A levels than those without T2D. LECT-2 has positive correlation with the severity of both obesity and insulin resistance. The changes in plasma fetuin-A are not consistent after bariatric surgery and no studies have investigated the changes in LECT-2 on the obese patients with T2D after bariatric surgery. Methods Overall, 18 patients undergoing gastric bypass (GB) and 16 patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (SG) were enrolled. The fasting plasma fetuin-A and LECT-2 levels were measured at baseline, one week, three months, and one year after surgery. Results Both the GB and SG groups significantly decreased the body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio, a body shape index; the triglyceride, fasting blood sugar (FBS), hemoglobin A1c, C-peptide levels; and homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR) one year after surgery. The SG group showed a decreasing trend in plasma fetuin-A levels one year after SG surgery. There are no significant changes in LECT-2 one year after either GB or SG. Fetuin-A had a near significant negative relationship with insulin (P = 0.056) and HOMA-IR (P = 0.050) in the SG group. Changes in fetuin-A had a significant positive relationship with changes in BMI (P = 0.031) and waist-to-hip ratio (P = 0.031) in the GB group and had a near significant positive correlation with FBS (P = 0.051) in the SG group. Discussion Neither GB nor SG modifies plasma levels of plasma fetuin-A or LECT-2 in T2D patients after surgery. The changes in plasma fetuin-A have a positive correlation with those of the BMI and waist-to-hip ratio 12 months after GB.

Abstract Background: There is abundant evidence reporting the relationship between triglycerides levels and type 2 diabetes mellitus, however few studies confirmed the influence of triglycerides levels on the incidence of diabetes. Bariatric surgery may lead to the remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus, but the effect of basal serum triglycerides levels on this reversal is unknown. This study aimed to assess the association between preoperative triglycerides levels and pre- and type 2 diabetes mellitus remission in obese patients one year after bariatric surgery. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted among 1959 obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery in our entre. Data on socio-demographic and clinical characteristics were used. Pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus remission was defined as normal glycaemic measures at least one year’s duration without pharmacological therapy. Logistic regression models, crude and adjusted for sex, age, preoperative serum triglycerides levels and type of bariatric surgery, were used. Results: The median of preoperative serum triglycerides level was 121.00 (SD=75.00) mg/dL, and 34.7% and 30.0% of patients presented pre- and type 2 diabetes mellitus, respectively, at baseline. Preoperative serum triglycerides levels were higher in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (139.00 vs. 106.00 mg/dL, in normal glycaemic patients; p<0.001) and showed to be significantly correlated with fasting glycaemia, glycated haemoglobin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance and homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function. One year after bariatric surgery, 62.5% of patients with pre- or type 2 diabetes at baseline showed remission. Preoperative serum triglycerides levels were negatively associated with this remission (OR: 0.997; 95%CI=0.995–0.998), independently of, sex, age and type of bariatric surgery. Conclusions: One year after bariatric surgery, 62.5% of patients showed pre- or type 2 diabetes mellitus remission, being the preoperative serum triglycerides levels an important clinical parameter for remission.

Introduction: Obesity is an increasingly prevalent global health issue and has a considerable disease burden, including numerous co-morbidities. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is one such co-morbidity associated with a high mortality rate and prevalence, especially in patients with obesity and concomitant Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Bariatric surgery is an effective intervention for patients with obesity, shown to reduce overall cardiovascular disease risk. However, few studies have quantified the long-term impact of bariatric surgery on ASCVD outcomes in the context of key co-morbidities such as T2DM. Hypothesis: Bariatric surgery will improve long-term ASCVD outcomes in obese patients with T2DM. Methods: A nested, nationwide, propensity-matched cohort study was carried out using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink. The study cohort included 593 patients who underwent bariatric surgery and had no past history of ASCVD. A further 593 patients served as propensity-score matched controls. Patients were followed up for a median time of 47.2 months. The primary composite study endpoint was the incidence of ASCVD defined by a diagnosis of new coronary artery disease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease (CeVD), peripheral arterial disease (PAD), or other miscellaneous atherosclerotic disease. Secondary endpoints included all-cause mortality and the incidence of CAD, CeVD, and PAD individually. Results: Patients who underwent bariatric surgery had significantly lower rates of new ASCVD during follow-up (HR 0.53, CI 0.30-0.95, p=0.032). No significant difference was observed in rates of new CAD (HR 0.69, CI 0.32-1.46, p=0.331), CeVD (HR 0.23, CI 0.00-5.45, p=0.1760) and PAD (HR 0.55, CI 0.21-1.43, p=0.218). The bariatric surgery group also had a lower rate of all-cause mortality (HR 0.36, CI 0.19-0.71, p=0.003) compared to controls. Conclusions: In this study, bariatric surgery was associated with improved ASCVD outcomes, as well as lower all-cause mortality, in patients with obesity and T2DM. These findings support the use of bariatric surgery in treating obesity and reducing the burden of its related comorbidities.

Aims/Introduction. The present study estimated the cost-effectiveness of bariatric surgery versus medication therapy for the management of recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in obese patients from a Chinese health insurance payer perspective. Materials and Methods. A Markov model was established to compare the 40-year time costs and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) between bariatric surgery and medication therapy. The health-care costs in the bariatric surgery group, proportion of patients in each group with remission of diabetes, and state transition probabilities were calculated based on observed resource utilization from the hospital information system (HIS). The corresponding costs in the medication therapy group were derived from the medical insurance database. QALYs were estimated from previous literature. Costs and outcomes were discounted 5% annually. Results. In the base case analysis, bariatric surgery was more effective and less costly than medication therapy. Over a 40-year time horizon, the mean discounted costs were 86,366.55 RMB per surgical therapy patient and 113,235.94 CNY per medication therapy patient. The surgical and medication therapy patients lived 13.46 and 10.95 discounted QALYs, respectively. Bariatric surgery was associated with a mean health-care savings of 26,869.39 CNY and 2.51 additional QALYs per patient compared to medication therapy. Uncertainty around the parameter values was tested comprehensively in sensitivity analyses, and the results were robust. Conclusions. Bariatric surgery is a dominant intervention over a 40-year time horizon, which leads to significant cost savings to the health insurance payer and increases in health benefits for the management of recently diagnosed T2DM in obese patients in China.

Background. Insulin resistance (IR) is a physiological condition related to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity, which is associated with high blood insulin and glucose. Inulin-type carbohydrate (ITC) is a kind of fermentable fructan that can reduce glucose and ameliorate IR in an animal model, but the effect in clinical trials is controversial. Objective. The authors conducted a systematic literature review to evaluate the effect of ITC supplementation in ameliorating IR in T2DM and obese patients. Methods. Multiple databases were queried for studies before December 25, 2018, which involved supplementation with ITC in ameliorating IR in T2DM and obese patients. Studies that involved meta-analysis of the body mass index (BMI), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FI), HbA1c, homeostatic model assessment IR (HOMA-IR), and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) of T2DM subjects were included. HOMA-IR and QUICKI were identified as the primary outcomes. A systematic review was performed to evaluate the effect of ITC on IR in obese patients. Results. The database search yielded 25 studies, which met the inclusion criteria; 11 articles were meta-analyzed, and 5 other articles on T2DM and 9 articles on simple obesity were systematically reviewed. Our results did not find ITC supplementation decrease postintervention and reduction data of BMI (P=0.08). However, it can significantly decrease postintervention and reduction data of FPG, FI, HbA1c, and HOMA-IR. Heterogeneity was eliminated by subgroup analysis according to baseline BMI. There was no significant difference in the amelioration of QUICKI between the ITC and control groups. However, the difference was statistically significant and the heterogeneity was eliminated after subgroup analysis according to intakes of ITC. 14 articles for a systematic review found that the results of blood glucose, insulin, and HbA1c were controversial. Only one of the seven studies on simple obesity concluded that ITC intervention significantly ameliorated HOMA-IR, while the other six did not. Conclusion. Supplementation of ITC can ameliorate IR in T2DM, especially in obese T2DM patients, but the effects are controversial in obese patients.

Abstract Genital infections are associated with sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors such as dapagliflozin. Since patients with Type 2 diabetes are at increased risk of genital infections, and obesity is a risk factor for infections, obese patients with Type 2 diabetes could be more susceptible to genital infections when treated with sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors. This pooled dataset assessed the frequency of genital infections according to baseline body mass index in patients treated with dapagliflozin 10 mg. Data were pooled from 13 studies of up to 24 weeks’ duration (dapagliflozin N=2 360; placebo N=2 295). Frequency of genital infections was compared between three body mass index subgroups (<30, ≥30−< 35 and ≥35 kg/m2). Genital infections were reported in 130 (5.5%) patients receiving dapagliflozin and 14 (0.6%) patients receiving placebo; none of which were serious. Genital infections were more common in women (84/130 [64.6%]) than in men (46/130 [35.4%]) treated with dapagliflozin. In the body mass index < 30, ≥ 30−< 35 and ≥ 35 kg/m2 dapagliflozin-treated subgroups, 38/882 (4.3%), 47/796 (5.9%) and 45/682 (6.6%) patients presented with genital infections, respectively. Although the frequency was low overall and relatively similar between subgroups, there was a trend towards an increase in genital infections in patients with a higher body mass index. This trend is unlikely to be clinically relevant or to affect suitability of dapagliflozin as a treatment option for obese patients with Type 2 diabetes, but rather should influence advice and counselling of overweight patients on prevention and treatment of genital infections.
