Abstract

Background

Obesity is a metabolic disease with a serious health burden in children and adults, and it induces a variety of conditions including subfecundity. Sleeve gastrectomy showed encouraging results in terms of weight loss and improve quality of life, and this study aimed to determine whether sleeve gastrectomy could reverse obesity-induced impaired fertility in male Sprague–Dawley rats.

Methods

After 16 weeks of a chow diet (CD) or a high-fat diet (HFD) challenge, rats on the HFD were given a sleeve gastrectomy or sham operation and then fed an HFD for another 8 weeks. Serum glucose, insulin, lipids, sex hormone, sperm quality, inflammatory profile of the testis, and hypothalamic Kiss1 expression in the three study groups were compared.

Results

Sleeve gastrectomy significantly decreased HFD-induced obesity and serum glucose and insulin levels. It also reversed the HFD-induced increase in teratozoospermia and decreases in sperm motility and progressive motility. Testicular morphological abnormalities were also improved after sleeve gastrectomy. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that the expression of sex hormones increased after sleeve gastrectomy and that expression of inflammatory factors decreased. The HFD induced a hypothalamic inflammatory response that inhibited Kiss1 expression, which in turn mediated sex hormone expression. Sleeve gastrectomy treatment improved the hypothalamic response.

Conclusions

The results consistently showed that sleeve gastrectomy reversed obesity-induced male fertility impairment by decreasing the inflammatory responses of the testis and hypothalamus.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

CME: 2 Punkte

Prof. Dr. med. Gregor Antoniadis Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.

S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“

CME: 2 Punkte

Dr. med. Benjamin Meyknecht, PD Dr. med. Oliver Pieske Das Webinar S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“ beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
