Abstract
BACKGROUND Changes in gastrointestinal and pancreatic hormones may play a role in promoting long-term weight reduction and improved glucose metabolism after sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. However, few studies have examined the metabolic and endocrine effects of these procedures in Mainland China. OBJECTIVES To compare the effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) on gastrointestinal and pancreatic peptide hormones. SETTING University hospital, China. METHODS A nonrandomized prospective study was conducted in Chinese obese patients undergoing LSG or LRYGB. Of 20 patients in this study, 10 underwent LSG, and 10 underwent LRYGB. Fasting plasma levels of insulin, glucagon, ghrelin, gastric inhibitory peptide, peptide YY, glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1, and GLP-2 were measured preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02963662). RESULTS During the first year after both operations, mean body mass index and fasting insulin levels steadily decreased at all intervals. Fasting plasma glucose levels significantly decreased at 1 month after surgery, then remained stable in both groups. Glucagon levels significantly decreased at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery in both groups, but returned to baseline at 12 months. Fasting GLP-1 and peptide YY significantly increased in both groups, but more so after LRYGB. However, GLP-2 did not change in either group. Ghrelin levels significantly decreased after LSG, but not after LRYGB. Gastric inhibitory peptide levels decreased after LRYGB but not after LSG. CONCLUSIONS LSG and LRYGB resulted in significant and distinct changes in multiple gastrointestinal and pancreatic peptide hormones that are important regulators of obesity and metabolic health.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to compare long-term surgical outcomes and complications of laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) with open distal gastrectomy (ODG) for the treatment of early gastric cancer (EGC) based on a review of available randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluated using the Cochrane methodology.RCTs comparing LADG and ODG were identified by a systematic literature search in PubMed, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, and the China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database, for papers published from January 1, 2003 to July 30, 2015. Meta-analyses were performed to compare the long-term clinical outcomes.Our systematic literature search identified 8 eligible RCTs including 732 patients (374 LADGs and 358 ODGs), with low overall risk of bias. Long-term mortality and relapse rate were comparable for both techniques. The long-term complication rate was 8.47% in LADG groups and 13.62% in the ODG group, indicating that LADG was associated with lower risk for long-term complications (RR = 0.63; 95%CI = 0.39-1.00; P = 0.03).In the treatment of EGC, LADG lowered the rate of long- and short-term complications and promoted earlier recovery, with comparable oncological outcomes to ODG.
