‘Hybrid’ Bariatric Surgery: Bilio-pancreatic Diversion and Duodenal Switch - Preliminary Experience

Background: Hybrid, combined or mixed bariatric surgery is the combination of a degree of ‘malabsorption’ (as achieved by the intestinal bypass) with a ‘rrestriction’ (as achieved by gastric bypass or gastroplasty), thereby simultaneously reducing the absorption of fats in the small bowel and decreasing the intake of food. Methods: A modification of the bilio-pancreatic diversion (BPD) with a duodenal switch procedure, vertical lineal gastrectomy and preservation of the pylorus, has been used in 23 patients. The antropyloric pump and 4 cm of the duodenum are left intact to preserve physiologic gastric emptying and to prevent anastomotic ulcer. The use of staplers and continuous running sutures reduces surgical risks and operative time. Results: One patient, converted from a vertical gastroplasty, had an intrathoracic esophageal perforation and died of multisystemic organ failure, a mortality rate of 4.5%. One patient had a partial dehiscence of the laparotomy wound. Three patients developed subcutaneous seromas. Mean weight losses during the first 4 months were 13, 11, 6 and 5 kg, with a loss of 70% of excess weight in patients approaching 1 year. No patient needs treatment for diarrhea. No serious secondary side-effects have been detected. Conclusion: This operation appears to result in very satisfactory weight loss, improved quality of life, and a low incidence of complications.

Hypomanic switching caused by the psychological effects brought on by a change in environment due to hospital admission: two cases of bipolar II patients who showed a hypomanic switch

Hypomanic episodes in two cases involving depressed patients (bipolar II) were observed after admission to an open psychiatric ward. The patients had not exhibited any prior (hypo)manic episodes during outpatient treatment. Thus, manic switching was thought to have been caused by the psychological effects brought on by the change in environment due to hospital admission. Hospital admission was believed to have been an unloading from their stressful lives, given that the affective state of both patients prior to admission was characterized by depression resulting from work-related stress. The close relationship between the patients and the predominantly female nursing staff may have triggered a psychological regression in both patients. These factors appear to have led to the hypomanic switching.

UV filters with antagonistic action at androgen receptors in the MDA-kb2 cell transcriptional-activation assay.

The fact that certain ultraviolet (UV) filters used in cosmetics display estrogenic activity prompted us to study potential actions on androgen receptors (AR) in the human breast carcinoma cell line MDA-kb2, which expresses functional endogenous AR and glucocorticoid receptors (GR) and is stably transfected with a luciferase reporter plasmid. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), methyltrienolone (R1881), methyltestosterone, danazol, and androstenedione increased luciferase activity, with EC50 values between 0.11 nM (R1881), 0.14 nM (DHT), and 73.5 nM (androstenedione). DHT-induced luciferase gene expression was inhibited by nonsteroidal antiandrogens, hydroxyflutamide, flutamide, bicalutamide, and vinclozolin. In contrast, the steroidal AR agonist/antagonist cyproterone actetate showed agonistic activity in the absence and presence of DHT, which was not blocked by hydroxyflutamide and thus seems not to be mediated by AR. GR-mediated activation of luciferase by dexamethasone was 100 times less potent than DHT and was not antagonized by hydroxyflutamide. The cell line was used for screening of UV filters, benzophenone-3 (Bp-3), benzophenone-4, 3-benzylidene camphor, 4-methylbenzylidene camphor, butyl-methoxy-dibenzoylmethane, homosalate (HMS), octyl-dimethyl-PABA, and octyl-methoxycinnamate. Two of these, Bp-3 and HMS, antagonized DHT-induced AR activation below cytotoxic concentrations, with IC50 of 5.57 10-6 M (HMS) and 4.98 10-6 M (Bp-3). None of the eight UV filters displayed agonistic activity when tested alone, but high concentrations of Bp-3 induced an increase of luciferase activity in the presence of dexamethasone, which was not blocked by hydroxyflutamide or the estrogen antagonist, ICI 182,780. These data indicate that the UV filters Bp-3 and HMS possess antiandrogenic activity in vitro in addition to estrogenic activity.

Cutaneous malignant melanoma incidence is strongly associated with European depigmented skin type regardless of ambient ultraviolet radiation levels: evidence from Worldwide population-based data

Current public health advice is that high ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure is the primary cause of Malignant Melanoma of skin (CMM), however, despite the use of sun-blocking products incidence of melanoma is increasing. To investigate the UVR influence on CMM incidence worldwide WHO, United Nations, World Bank databases and literature provided 182 country-specific melanoma incidence estimates, daily UVR levels, skin colour (EEL), socioeconomic status (GDP PPP), magnitude of reduced natural selection (Ibs), ageing, urbanization, percentage of European descendants (Eu%), and depigmentation (blonde hair colour), for parametric and non-parametric correlations, multivariate regressions and analyses of variance. Worldwide, UVR levels showed negative correlation with melanoma incidence (“rho” = −0.515, p < 0.001), remaining significant and negative in parametric partial correlation (r = −0.513, p < 0.001) with other variables kept constant. After standardising melanoma incidence for Eu%, melanoma correlation with UVR disappeared completely (“rho” = 0.004, p = 0.967, n = 127). The results question classical views that UVR causes melanoma. No correlation between UVR level and melanoma incidence was present when Eu% (depigmented or light skin type) was kept statistically constant, even after adjusting for other known variables. Countries with lower UVR levels and more Eu% (depigmented or light skin people) have higher melanoma incidence. Critically, this means that individual genetic low skin pigmentation factors predict melanoma risk regardless of UVR exposure levels, and even at low-UVR levels.
