Abstract

Objective To observe the effect of endoscopic esophagus-jejunum stent bypass (combined with laparotomy) on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated with obesity in model dogs. Methods Five model dogs with T2DM complicated with obesity (experiment group) underwent endoscopic esophagus-jejunum stent bypass (combined with laparotomy). Before treatment and 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks after treatment, fasting plasma glucose and fasting insulin were measured, intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) was performed, and β cell function and insulin resistance were evaluated with homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-β and HOMA-IR). Besides, another 5 normal Beagle dogs undergoing endoscopy and exploratory laparotomy were served as control group. Results Four weeks after treatment, the fasting plasma glucose, IVGTT-2 h plasma glucose, fasting insulin and IVGTT-2 h insulin were significantly lower than those before treatment in experiment group (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in fasting plasma glucose between experiment group and control group 12 weeks after treatment (P>0.05). HOMAIR gradually decreased (P<0.01) and HOMA-β gradually increased (P<0.01, P<0.05) in experiment group after treatment. There was no significant difference in HOMA-IR and HOMA-β between experiment group and control group 12 weeks after treatment (P>0.05). Conclusion Endoscopic esophagus-jejunum stent bypass (combined with laparotomy) can simulate and improve classic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in model dogs with T2DM complicated with obesity, and can treat T2DM effectively and safely.
