Journal: International Journal of Surgery (2024)

Background: Magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) through placement of the LINX device is an alternative to fundoplication in the management of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess efficacy, quality of life, and safety in patients that underwent MSA, with a comparison to fundoplication. Methods: A literature search of MEDLINE, Embase, Emcare, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane library databases was performed for studies that reported data on outcomes of MSA, with or without a comparison group undergoing fundoplication, for GERD from January 2000 to January 2023. Meta-analysis was performed using random-effect models and between-study heterogeneity was assessed. Results: Thirty-nine studies with 8075 patients were included: 6983 patients underwent MSA and 1092 patients had laparoscopic fundoplication procedure. Ten of these studies (seven retrospective and three prospective) directly compared MSA with fundoplication. A higher proportion of individuals successfully discontinued proton-pump inhibitors ( P &lt;0.001; WMD 0.83; 95% CI: 0.72–0.93; I 2 =96.8%) and had higher patient satisfaction ( P &lt;0.001; WMD 0.85; 95% CI: 0.78–0.93; I 2 =85.2%) following MSA when compared to fundoplication. Functional outcomes were better after MSA than after fundoplication including ability to belch ( P &lt;0.001; WMD 0.96; 95% CI: 0.93–0.98; I 2 =67.8) and emesis ( P &lt;0.001; WMD 0.92; 95% CI: 0.89–0.95; I 2 =42.8%), and bloating ( P =0.003; WMD 0.20; 95% CI: 0.07–0.33; I 2 =97.0%). MSA had higher rates of dysphagia ( P =0.001; WMD 0.41; 95% CI: 0.17–0.65; I 2 =97.3%) when compared to fundoplication. The overall erosion and removal rate following MSA was 0.24% and 3.9%, respectively, with no difference in surgical reintervention rates between MSA and fundoplication ( P =0.446; WMD 0.001; 95% CI: −0.001–0.002; I 2 =78.5%). Conclusions: MSA is a safe and effective procedure at reducing symptom burden of GERD and can potentially improve patient satisfaction and functional outcomes. However, randomized controlled trials directly comparing MSA with fundoplication are necessary to determine where MSA precisely fits in the management pathway of GERD.
Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation as a novel therapy connecting the central and peripheral systems: a review
Authors: Ningyi Zou, Qing Zhou, Yuzhengheng Zhang, Chen Xin, Yifei Wang, Rangon Claire-Marie, Peijing Rong, Guojian Gao, Shaoyuan Li
Journal: International Journal of Surgery (2024)

Currently, clinical practice and scientific research mostly revolve around a single disease or system, but the single disease-oriented diagnostic and therapeutic paradigm needs to be revised. This review describes how transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS), a novel non-invasive neuromodulation approach, connects the central and peripheral systems of the body. Through stimulation of the widely distributed vagus nerve from the head to the abdominal cavity, this therapy can improve and treat central system disorders, peripheral system disorders, and central-peripheral comorbidities caused by autonomic dysfunction. In the past, research on taVNS has focused on the treatment of central system disorders by modulating this brain nerve. As the vagus nerve innervates the heart, lungs, liver, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, spleen and other peripheral organs, taVNS could have an overall modulatory effect on the region of the body where the vagus nerve is widespread. Based on this physiological basis, the authors summarize the existing evidence of the taVNS ability to regulate cardiac function, adiposity, glucose levels, gastrointestinal function, and immune function, among others, to treat peripheral system diseases, and complex diseases with central and peripheral comorbidities. This review shows the successful examples and research progress of taVNS using peripheral neuromodulation mechanisms from more perspectives, demonstrating the expanded scope and value of taVNS to provide new ideas and approaches for holistic therapy from both central and peripheral perspectives.

Authors: Jun Zhang, Zai Luo, Renchao Zhang, Zehao Ding, Yuan Fang, Chao Han, Weidong Wu, Gang Cen, Zhengjun Qiu, Huang Chen
Journal: International Journal of Surgery (2024)

Background: Proficient surgical skills are essential for surgeons, making surgical training an important part of surgical education. The development of technology promotes the diversification of surgical training types. This study analyzes the changes in surgical training patterns from the perspective of bibliometrics, and applies the learning curves as a measure to demonstrate their teaching ability. Method: Related papers were searched in the Web of Science database using the following formula: TS=((training OR simulation) AND (learning curve) AND (surgical)). Two researchers browsed the papers to ensure that the topics of articles were focused on the impact of surgical simulation training on the learning curve. CiteSpace, VOSviewer and R packages were applied to analyze the publication trends, countries, authors, keywords and references of selected articles. Result: Ultimately, 2461 documents were screened and analyzed. The USA is the most productive and influential country in this field. Surgical endoscopy and other interventional techniques publish the most articles, while surgical endoscopy and other interventional techniques is the most cited journal. Aggarwal Rajesh is the most productive and influential author. Keyword and reference analyses reveal that laparoscopic surgery, robotic surgery, virtue reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) were the hotspots in the field. Conclusion: This study provided a global overview of the current state and future trend in the surgical education field. The study surmised the applicability of different surgical simulation types by comparing and analyzing the learning curves, which is helpful for the development of this field.

The impact of frailty on clinical outcomes of older patients undergoing enhanced recovery after lumbar fusion surgery: A prospective cohort study
Authors: Shuai-Kang Wang, Qi-Jun Wang, Peng Wang, Xiang-Yu Li, Peng Cui, Dong-Fan Wang, Xiao-Long Chen, Chao Kong, Shi-Bao Lu
Journal: International Journal of Surgery (2024)

Background: Frailty is recognized as a surrogate for physiological age and has been established as a valid and independent predictor of postoperative morbidity, mortality, and complications. ERAS can enhance surgical safety by minimizing stress responses in frail patients, enabling surgeons to discharge patients earlier. However, the question of whether and to what extent the frailty impacts the post-ERAS outcomes in older patients remains. Materials and Methods: An evidence-based ERAS program was implemented in our center from January 2019. This is a prospective cohort study of patients aged ≥75 years who underwent open transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) for degenerative spine disease from April 2019 to October 2021. Frailty was assessed with the Fried frailty scale (FP scale), and patients were categorized as non/prefrail (FP 0-2) or frail (FP ≥ 3). The preoperative variables, operative data, postoperative outcomes and follow-up information were compared between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify risk factors for 90-day major complications and prolonged length of hospital stay (LOS) after surgery. Results: A total of 245 patients (age of 79.8 ± 3.4 yr) who had a preoperative FP score recorded and underwent scheduled TLIF surgery were included in the final analysis. Comparisons between non-frail and prefrail/frail patients revealed no significant difference in age, sex, and surgery-related variables. Even after adjusting for multiple comparisons, the association between Fried frailty and ADL-dependency, IADL-dependency, and malnutrition remained significant. Preoperative frailty was associated with increased rates of postoperative adverse events. A higher CCI grade was an independent predictor for 90-day major complications, while Fried frailty and MNA-SF scores &lt;12 were predictive of poor postoperative recovery. Conclusion: Frail older patients had more adverse post-ERAS outcomes after TLIF compared to non/prefrail older patients. Continued research and multidisciplinary collaboration will be essential to refine and optimize protocols for surgical care in frail older adults.

Carbon Monoxide-induced Autophagy Enhances Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Function via Paracrine Actions in Murine Polymicrobial Sepsis
Authors: Narae Hwang, Sailaja Ghanta, Qifei Li, Anthony M Lamattina, Ekaterina Murzin, James A Lederer, Souheil El-Chemaly, Su Wol Chung, Xiaoli Liu, Mark A Perrella
Journal: Molecular Therapy (2024)

Sepsis is a life-threatening process due to organ dysfunction resulting from severe infections. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are being investigated as therapy for sepsis, along with conditioning regimens to improve their function. Carbon monoxide (CO) gas, which is cytoprotective at low doses, induces autophagy and is a mediator of inflammation. We evaluated CO-induced autophagy in human MSCs (hMSCs), and its impact on cell function in murine cecal ligation and puncture. Conditioning of hMSCs with CO ex vivo resulted in enhanced survival and bacterial clearance in vivo, and neutrophil phagocytosis of bacteria in vitro. Decreased neutrophil infiltration and less parenchymal cell death in organs were associated with increased macrophage efferocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils, promoting resolution of inflammation. These CO effects were lost when the cells were exposed to autophagy inhibition prior to gas exposure. When assessing paracrine actions of CO-induced autophagy, extracellular vesicles (EVs) were predominantly responsible. CO had no effect on EV production, but altered their miRNA cargo. Increased expression of miR-145-3p and miR-193a-3p by CO was blunted with disruption of autophagy, and inhibitors of these miRNAs led to a loss of neutrophil phagocytosis and macrophage efferocytosis. Collectively, CO-induced autophagy enhanced hMSC function during sepsis via paracrine actions of MSC-derived EVs.
