Abstract
Obesity is a global health issue that has grown to epidemic proportions. According to World Health Organisation (WHO), overweight and obesity are responsible for more than 1.2 million deaths in Europe each year, representing > 13% of the region's total mortality. Highly processed, calorie-dense foods and reduced physical activity are considered as primary drivers of obesity, but genetic predisposition also plays a significant role. Notably, obesity is more prevalent in women than in men in most countries, and several obesity-related comorbidities exhibit sex-specific pathways. Treatment indication depends on BMI (body mass index), as well as existing comorbidities and risk factors. To reduce obesity-associated comorbidities, a permanent reduction in body weight of (at least) 5-10% is recommended. Treatment guidelines suggest an escalating stepwise approach including lifestyle intervention, pharmacotherapy, and bariatric-metabolic surgery. As cumulative evidence suggests differences in weight loss outcomes, there is growing interest in sex-specific considerations in obesity management. However, most trials do not report weight loss or changes in body composition separately for women and men. Here, we discuss state-of-the-art obesity management and focus on current data about the impact of sex on weight loss outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are responsible for many deaths. They are associated with several modifiable and metabolic risk factors and are therefore prone to significant regional variations on different scales. However, only few intra-urban studies examined spatial variation in NCDs and its association with social circumstances, especially in Germany. Thus, the present study aimed to identify associations of personal risk factors and local social conditions with NCDs in a large German city. METHODS This study is based on a population-based cohort of the Hamburg City Health Study including 10,000 probands. Six NCDs were analyzed (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD], coronary heart disease [CHD], diabetes mellitus, heart failure, depression, and hypertension) in 68 city district clusters. As risk factors, we considered socio-demographic variables (age, sex, education) and risk behaviour variables (smoking, alcohol consumption). Logistic regression analyses identified associations between the district clusters and the prevalence rates for each NCD. Regional variation was detected by Gini coefficients and spatial cluster analyses. Local social condition indexes were correlated with prevalence rates of NCDs on city district level and hot-spot analyses were performed for significant high or low values. RESULTS The analyses included 7,308 participants with a mean age of 63.1 years (51.5% female). The prevalence of hypertension (67.6%) was the highest. Risk factor associations were identified between smoking, alcohol consumption and education and the prevalence of NCDs (hypertension, diabetes, and COPD). Significant regional variations were detected and persisted after adjusting for personal risk factors. Correlations for prevalence rates with the local social conditions were significant for hypertension (r = 0.294, p < 0.02), diabetes (r = 0.259, p = 0.03), and COPD (r = 0.360, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The study shows that regional differences in NCD prevalence persist even after adjusting for personal risk factors. This highlights the central role of both personal socio-economic status and behaviors such as alcohol and tobacco consumption. It also highlights the importance of other potential regional factors (e.g. the environment) in shaping NCD prevalence. This knowledge helps policy- and decision-makers to develop intervention strategies.

Abstract
About 20%-25% of patients experience weight regain (WR) or insufficient weight loss (IWL) following bariatric surgery (BS). Therefore, we aimed to retrospectively assess the effectiveness of adjunct treatment with semaglutide in patients without type 2 diabetes (T2D) with post-bariatric treatment failure over a 12 months period. Post-bariatric patients without T2D with WR or IWL (n = 29) were included in the analysis. The primary endpoint was weight loss 12 months after initiation of adjunct treatment. Secondary endpoints included change in body mass index, HbA1c, lipid profile, high sensitive C-reactive protein and liver enzymes. Total weight loss during semaglutide treatment added up to 14.7% ± 8.9% (mean ± SD, p < .001) after 12 months. Categorical weight loss was >5% in 89.7% of patients, >10% in 62.1% of patients, >15% in 34.5% of patients, >20% in 24.1% of patients and > 25% in 17.2% of patients. Adjunct treatment with semaglutide resulted in sustained weight loss regardless of sex, WR or IWL and type of surgery. Among patients with prediabetes (n = 6), 12 months treatment led to normoglycemia in all patients (p < .05). Treatment options to manage post-bariatric treatment failure are scarce. Our results imply a clear benefit of adjunct treatment with semaglutide in post-bariatric patients over a 12 months follow-up period.

Abstract
According to WHO, overweight and obesity are responsible for more than 1,2 million deaths in Europe each year, representing >13% of the Region's total mortality. According to the 2022 Obesity Report, it will take significant effort to get people to adopt healthier lifestyles and be more physically active. Therapeutic measures in the context of an escalating stepwise approach should include strategies for a targeted weight reduction and long-term weight maintenance. An important health policy goal should be better access to these therapy options with an additional focus on primary prevention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), especially nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) increases the risk for liver cirrhosis. Noninvasive tests for NAFLD/NASH exist, but they are unreliable and thus liver biopsy remains the standard for diagnosis and new noninvasive diagnostic approaches are of great interest. The aim of this study was to test whether the serum levels of fatty acid-binding protein-4 (FABP4) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) could be used as a diagnostic tool for NASH. METHODS Patients who underwent bariatric surgery and simultaneous liver biopsy were identified. Biopsies were assigned a NAFLD activity score (NAS). MMP9- and FABP4- Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISAs) on serum samples were performed. The serum levels of FABP4/MMP9 were compared and different models to predict NASH were developed. RESULTS A total of 84 patients were included, 28 patients (33.3%) were diagnosed with NASH. Higher concentrations of MMP9 in NASH patients (p < 0.01) were detected. FABP4 concentrations were not significantly increased. A moderate correlation between the NAS and MMP9 concentrations (r = 0.32, P < 0.01) was observed. The neural network model fit best with the dataset, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 83% and an accuracy of 88%. CONCLUSION Serum MMP9 levels are increased in patients with NASH and should routinely be measured in patients with obesity, but further investigations are needed to improve noninvasive NASH diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric-metabolic surgery (BS) decreases the grade of steatosis, hepatic inflammation, and fibrosis in patients with severe obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Mechanisms include substantial weight loss, but also simultaneous effects on glucose homeostasis. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the association between NAFLD and remission of type 2 diabetes (T2D) up to 8 years following different types of BS. METHODS In a retrospective cohort study including 107 patients with obesity and T2D at baseline, the association between biopsy-proven NAFLD defined as steatosis in > 5% of hepatocytes at the time of surgery and T2D remission up to 8 years following different surgical procedures was investigated. Univariate regression analysis was used to examine the association between NAFLD and remission of T2D. RESULTS Long-term remission of T2D was present in 56% of patients (n = 60). The presence of low-grade liver steatosis (grade 1) was associated with remission of T2D. Patients with a liver steatosis score ≥ 2 showed higher HbA1c levels at baseline. There were no significant differences in preoperative presence of lobular inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning, or fibrosis between patients who achieved T2D remission compared with those with no remission. Type of surgery did not affect remission of T2D. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that the presence of low-grade liver steatosis is associated with remission of T2D following sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Therefore, BS should be considered at an early NAFLD stage in patients with T2D.

Abstract
The globally increasing prevalence of obesity represents a key medical and socioeconomic challenge. Due to related comorbidities and complications such as arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, fatty liver disease, and arteriosclerosis, obesity leads to a significant statistical reduction in lifespan. Currently, bariatric surgery is the most effective approach to manage body weight and comorbidities while lifestyle intervention as basic obesity therapy and medical treatment often do not lead to sufficient and sustainable weight loss. However, recent medical approaches show now promising effects on weight control and might close the gap towards bariatric surgical procedures. For instance, semaglutide has been approved by EMA in January 2022 for medical treatment of obesity concomitant to basic lifestyle therapy in adults with a BMI of ≥ 30 kg/m2 or ≥ 27 kg/m2 and weight-related comorbidity. Apart from weight control, improvement in cardiometabolic risk factors can be achieved with this treatment. Moreover, other drugs, mostly based on incretin mono- or multiagonism, are currently developed and may open further effective treatment options for obesity and its complications in the near future.On a health political level, first steps for the development of a structured treatment program (DMP) for obesity are in progress to enable early guideline-based and structured treatment of obesity, and to prevent the obesity associated complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is a major risk factor for microvascular disease, leading to chronic kidney injury or cardiovascular disease, but there is a tremendous proportion of patients worldwide who suffer from undiagnosed diabetes. Until now, little is known about the prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes in gastroenterology inpatients. OBJECTIVE To improve detection of undiagnosed diabetes, a routine screening procedure for gastroenterology inpatients, based on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) measurement, was established. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of the implemented diabetes screening. Diabetes mellitus was diagnosed according to the guideline of the German Diabetes Association in patients with an HbA1c of ≥6.5% anld/or fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≥126 mg/dL. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors for undiagnosed diabetes. RESULTS Within a 3-month period, 606 patients were eligible for a diabetes screening. Pre-existing diabetes was documented in 120 patients (19.8 %), undiagnosed diabetes was found in 24 (3.9%), and 162 patients (26.7%) met the definition for prediabetes. Steroid medication use, age, and liver cirrhosis due to primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) were identified as risk factors for undiagnosed diabetes. CONCLUSION The prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes in gastroenterology inpatients is markedly elevated in comparison to the general population, and a substantial number of inpatients are in a prediabetic status, underlining the need for diabetes screening. In addition to previously described risk factors of patient age and steroid medication use, we identified PSC-related liver cirrhosis (but not liver cirrhosis due to another etiology) as an independent risk factor for undiagnosed diabetes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bariatric surgery (BS) was shown to improve inflammatory markers in previous short-term follow-up studies. The aim of the present study was to assess the long-term effects of BS on chronic low-grade inflammation markers related to severe obesity. Moreover, the meaning of the type of BS procedure as well as the remission of type 2 diabetes (T2D) for inflammatory status up to 4 years after BS was analyzed. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a retrospective cohort study including 163 patients at baseline, inflammatory and metabolic parameters were assessed at 4 time points: before surgery (baseline), 6 months after surgery (visit 1), 2 years after surgery (visit 2), and 4 years after surgery (visit 3). Univariate regression analysis was used to identify variables that were thought to determine change in inflammatory parameters. RESULTS CRP, hs-CRP, leucocytes, and ferritin significantly declined in the mid- and long-term according to the U-shaped curve of weight loss (p<0.001). Change in body mass index (BMI) at long-time follow-up showed a significant linear effect on change in leucocytes (B=0.082; p<0.001) and change in hs-CRP (B=0.03; p<0.05). There was a strong, positive correlation between T2D and hs-CRP at visit 2 (rs=0.195; p<0.05) and visit 3 (rs=0.36; p=0.001). With regard to type of surgery and gender, there were no significant differences in inflammatory parameters. CONCLUSION BS is able to reduce obesity-related chronic low-grade inflammation up to 4 years after surgical intervention. The improvement in metaflammation is related to the change in BMI and remission of T2D in the long-term.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to assess the long-term renal effects of bariatric surgery (BS) in severely obese patients over a follow-up period of up to 11 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a retrospective cohort study including 102 patients, patients were stratified by eGFR at baseline and divided into three groups: (1) reduced, (2) normal, and (3) increased filtration rate. Adjustments for age- and sex-related decline in eGFR were performed. We used uni- and multivariate regression analysis to identify variables that were thought to determine change in eGFR. RESULTS Over a median follow-up of 8.5 years (interquartile range 2.7), eGFR declined from 96.1 ± 20.7 to 84.9 ± 21.0 ml/min (p < 0.001). Among patients with (1), eGFR remained stable (69.1 ± 19.3 ml/min). Among patients with (2), eGFR declined from 99.7 ± 13.3 ml/min to 88.7 ± 19.4 ml/min (p < 0.001). Among patients with (3), eGFR decreased to normal levels (94.2 ± 17.7 ml/min, p < 0.001). Age- and sex-adjusted eGFR increased (6.4 ± 14.4 ml/min; p < 0.05) among patients with reduced filtration rate. Among patients with normal filtration rate, adjusted eGFR remained stable during follow-up (-1.3 ± 15.2 ml/min; n.s.). Among patients with increased filtration rate, adjusted eGFR decreased and remained within the normal range (-13.2 ± 12.2 ml/min; p < 0.001). Change in eGFR showed a negative correlation with eGFR at baseline (B = -0.31; p < 0.001), change in LDL-cholesterol (B = -0.09; p < 0.05), and a negative correlation with treatment requiring hypertension (B = -9.36; p = 0.001). CONCLUSION BS is protective against renal function decline in severely obese patients in the long term.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A novel-approach for treatment of obesity and diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) is represented by the endoscopic duodenal-jejunal bypass liner (DJBL). Recent data from the German DJBL registry provide evidence for substantial efficacy of the DJBL during the implantation period in obese patients with T2DM. However, little is known about the trends of glycemic control, BMI, and comorbidities after explantation of the DJBL, which have been investigated in the registry in this report. METHODS Patients were selected from the registry if they had a dataset at implantation, explantation, and at least one time point after explantation of the DJBL (n = 77). We also investigated a subgroup of patients with available data at least 1 year (-2 weeks) after explantation of the DJBL (n = 32). RESULTS For a mean BMI at implantation and a mean follow-up period, an increase of BMI of 2.1 kg/m2 (CI 0.8-3.2; p = 0.013) had to be expected (for HbA1c 0.3% (CI - 0.0-0.7; p = n.s.), respectively). In the subgroup analysis, HbA1c and BMI increased after explantation of the DJBL but stayed significantly below baseline levels. Meanwhile, the mean number of antidiabetic drugs slightly increased. There was deterioration seen for blood pressure and LDL cholesterol over the postexplantation period to approximately baseline levels (or higher). CONCLUSION With this data, we show that improvement of HbA1c and BMI can be partly maintained over a time of nearly 1-year postexplantation of the DJBL. However, for HbA1c, this may be biased by intensified medical treatment and effects deteriorated with time after explantation. These results suggest that implantation of the DJBL needs to be integrated in a long-term weight management program as most of other interventions in obese patients with T2DM.

Abstract
Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) showed promising performance as an alternative sewage sludge treatment already, as the draining ability of sludge is improved while fuel properties of the yielded hydrochar are superior to native sludge. On the other hand, the sole combustion of sewage sludge and its corresponding hydrochars are a waste in terms of nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen. Therefore, a combination of HTC and a nutrient recycling strategy via the precipitation of phosphate and nitrogen as struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate) are introduced in this research. We used an anaerobically digested sewage sludge with high loads of aluminium- and ironsalts. Phosphate release cannot be reached by HTC alone, as phosphate is heavily bound in stable iron- and aluminium-associations. An acid leaching step removes it from the hydrochar (58.5-94.8% P), while the process liquid arising from HTC is used as ammonium source (107-291 mmol l-1NH4). After adjusting pH and addition of a magnesium source, struvite is rapidly precipitated in high purity. Nitric acid is used as a "catalyst" in HTC to improve the degree of carbonization on one hand but also improve the phosphate recovery on the other hand by increasing the amount of ammonium available for struvite formation in the process liquid. The highest total recovery rate of phosphate from sludge was 82.5 wt.% and therefore this approach showed to be a serious alternative to other P-recovery techniques.

Abstract
PURPOSE Data about the specificity of late-night salivary cortisol (LNSC) in obese subjects are still conflicting. Therefore, with this study, we aimed to evaluate the specificity of LNSC measurement in an obese cohort with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using an automated electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA). METHODS A total number of 157 patients involving 40 healthy subjects (HS) with BMI < 25 kg/m2, 83 obese subjects (OS) with BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2, and 34 histopathologically proven Cushing's disease (CD) were included. All patients underwent LNSC testing. Salivary cortisol was measured at 11 p.m. for all groups using an ECLIA. Reference range was established using values of LNSCs of HS and ROC curves were used to determine diagnostic cutoffs. RESULTS In the HS group, mean LNSC was 4.7 nmol/l (SD ± 3.1), while the OS group had a mean value of 10.9 nmol/l (SD ± 7.5) and the CD group of 19.9 nmol/l (SD ± 15.4). All groups differed significantly (p < 0.001). The ROC analysis of CD against HS alone showed a sensitivity of 85.3% and a specificity of 87.5% with a cut-off value of 8.3 nmol/l. The ROC analysis between OS and CD showed a maximum sensitivity of 67.6% and specificity of 78.3% for a cut-off value of 12.3 nmol/l. Taken both (HS and OS) groups together against the CD group, ROC analysis showed a maximum sensitivity of 67.6% and specificity of 85.4% for a cut-off value of 12.3 nmol/l. No correlation was found between BMI, T2DM, and LNSC for all groups. CONCLUSIONS In our obese cohort, we found that LNSC assayed by ECLIA had a low specificity in the diagnosis of CD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity has been shown to trigger adaptive increases in pancreas parenchymal and fat volume. Consecutively, pancreatic steatosis may lead to beta-cell dysfunction. However, it is not known whether the pancreatic tissue components decrease with weight loss and pancreatic steatosis is reversible following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Therefore, the objective of the study was to investigate the effects of RYGB-induced weight loss on pancreatic volume and glucose homeostasis. METHODS Eleven patients were recruited in the Obesity Centre of the University Medical Centre Hamburg-Eppendorf. Before and 6 months after RYGB, total GLP-1 levels were measured during oral glucose tolerance test. To assess changes in visceral adipose tissue and pancreatic volume, MRI was performed. Measures of glucose homeostasis and insulin indices were assessed. Fractional beta-cell area was estimated by correlation with the C-peptide-to-glucose ratio; beta-cell mass was calculated by the product of beta-cell area and pancreas parenchymal weight. RESULTS Pancreas volume decreased from 83.8 (75.7-92.0) to 70.5 (58.8-82.3) cm3 (mean [95% CI], P = .001). The decrease in total volume was associated with a significant decrease in fat volume. Fasting insulin and C-peptide were lower post RYGB. HOMA-IR levels decreased, whereas insulin sensitivity increased (P = .03). This was consistent with a reduction in the estimated beta-cell area and mass. CONCLUSIONS Following RYGB, pancreatic volume and steatosis adaptively decreased to "normal" levels with accompanying improvement in glucose homeostasis. Moreover, obesity-driven beta-cell expansion seems to be reversible; however, future studies must define a method to more accurately estimate functional beta-cell mass to increase our understanding of glucose homeostasis after RYGB.

Abstract
AIMS The duodenal-jejunal bypass liner (DJBL) is an endoscopic device mimicking surgical duodenal-jejunal bypass, and is indicated for the treatment of obesity-associated type 2 diabetes mellitus. This analysis was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the DJBL in comparison to lifestyle changes and antidiabetic drugs. MATERIALS AND METHODS To determine the efficacy and long-term safety of the DJBL, data concerning 235 obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus from the German DJBL registry were analysed. For comparison with standard treatment, propensity-score-matching with patients from the German DPV registry, including the matching parameters sex, age, diabetes duration, baseline BMI and baseline HbA1c, was applied. The final matched cohort consisted of 111 patients in the DJBL group and 222 matched control DPV patients. RESULTS Mean treatment time with the DJBL was 47.5 ± 12.2 weeks, mean BMI reduction was 5.0 kg/m2 (P < .001) and mean HbA1c reduction was 1.3% (11.9 mmol/mol) (P < .001). Reduction of antidiabetic medications and improvements in other metabolic and cardiovascular risk parameters was observed. In comparison to the matched control group, mean reductions in HbA1c (-1.37% vs -0.51% [12.6 vs 3.2 mmol/mol]; P < .0001) and BMI (-3.02 kg/m2 vs -0.39 kg/m2 ; P < .0001) were significantly higher. Total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and blood pressure were also significantly better. CONCLUSION This study provides the largest, so far, hypothesis-generating evidence for a putative positive risk/benefit ratio for treatment of obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with the DJBL as an alternative treatment option for this patient population.

Abstract
Transient hypoparathyroid-associated hypocalcemia is a common side effect after thyroidectomy. Not only may it be life-threatening, but it also can distinctly affect length of hospital stay and treatment costs. Screening and treatment practices are suspected to differ between clinicians in endocrine and surgical wards. We therefore compared discipline-related differences in screening and treatment of hypocalcemia as well as the length of hospital stay of patients after thyroidectomy. Data from 170 patients treated with total thyroidectomy in the Department of Otolaryngology (n = 29), General Surgery (n = 49) and Endocrinology (n = 92) were analyzed, and measurements of postoperative calcium and parathyroid hormone, calcium at time of discharge, percentage of discharge with a calcium level <1.9 mmol/L (defined as severe hypocalcemia), treatment of hypocalcemia, and duration of hospitalization were compared between disciplines. Postoperative calcium levels were measured in 97.8% of patients in endocrine wards compared with 83.3% in surgical departments (p = 0.001), and discharge with a calcium level <1.9 mmol/L was statistically more frequent in surgical vs. endocrine wards. Additional to calcium supplementation, active vitamin D was administered in 95% of patients treated in endocrine wards vs. 35% in surgical wards. Length of hospitalization was 8.12 (±6.62) days (endocrinology) to 10.55 (±9.39) days (surgical wards) (p = 0.05). Monitoring of calcium levels is an important indicator of the quality of postoperative care after thyroidectomy. To prevent postoperative hypocalcemia-induced complications and to reduce the length of hospital stay, an interdisciplinary approach for the management of hypocalcemia after thyroidectomy might be a promising model for future treatment concepts.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to study a heterogeneous group of obese patients undergoing Bariatric surgery(BS) and its impact on glycemic control. Secondary endpoints include changes in lipid profile and albuminuria. BS has shown to effectively reduce body-weight. However, the impact on obesity-related comorbidities varies strongly between individuals. Especially postoperative short- and long-term improvement of Diabetes is an active area of investigation. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis from baseline to 24 months post bariatric surgery in our interdisciplinary obesity outpatient-clinic. Follow-up data was collected from 215 patients who had undergone either Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or Sleeve Gastrectomy. The prevalence of and changes in the major obesity-related comorbidities and concurrent medication were assessed. RESULTS Standard parameters of diabetic control showed a U-shaped curve with initial improvement after six months, but with a gradual worsening after the first year of follow-up. Weight loss resulted in dose reduction of oral antidiabetic medication and insulin in 85% and 100% of patients, respectively. With weight loss, a significant improvement in lipid profile one year after surgery was seen. Subgroup analysis demonstrated gender- and age-dependent differences in overall benefit. CONCLUSIONS Current data on diabetes remission might be too optimistic and close follow-up should be provided to prevent gradual worsening of glucose metabolism after BS.

Abstract
Indication for bariatric or metabolic surgery depends primarily on body mass index. Recent study results however suggest, that other markers are more reliable predictors of metabolic success. A revision of indication criteria is therefore necessary especially for surgical therapy of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Postoperative management should include screening for postbariatric hypoglycemia and bone density. Furthermore psychologic surveillance is recommended.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report the case of a morbidly obese 49-year-old woman with nonspecific interstitial pneumonia who underwent bariatric surgery. Because of inadequate weight loss after sleeve gastrectomy, duodenal switch as component of a stepwise treatment was performed and led to unexplained progressive weight loss and malnutrition. METHOD Case report. RESULTS After duodenal switch surgery, the patient presented with late postsurgical symptoms of malabsorption. Postsurgical psychological evaluation revealed a persistent binge eating disorder. Along with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, binge eating had led to progressive weight loss of ≈100 kg from a body mass index of 50.3 kg/m(2) presurgery to 17.3 kg/m(2) postsurgery. DISCUSSION Recent research has focused on eating patterns after bariatric surgery and the risks of exacerbating eating disorders after surgery. This case study illustrates the need for auxiliary prepsychotherapeutic and postpsychotherapeutic evaluation and subsequent support for patients with eating disorders preparing for bariatric surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In the industrialized world, obesity is an increasing socioeconomic health problem. Obese subjects have a higher risk of developing several types of cancer. NK cells are an integral component of the innate immune system, able to destruct tumor cells. The adipokine leptin plays a crucial role in the development of obesity and its related diseases. Peripheral leptin signaling is modulated by the liver. METHODS The aim of this study was to evaluate the number of hepatic NK cells (CD56+) and the number of leptin-receptor positive (Ob-R+) cells in the livers of five normal-weight and five obese humans. Livers were removed during autopsy and accurately defined sections were stained immunohistochemically and CD56+, Ob-R+, and double-positive cells were quantified. RESULTS Results revealed a dramatic reduction of NK cells and Ob-R-expressing NK cells in the livers of obese individuals. CONCLUSIONS The present study demonstrates, for the first time, body-weight-dependent numbers of hepatic NK cells. This supports the hypothesis of obesity-associated alterations of immune cell numbers in different human organs.

Abstract
In diet-induced obese rats, leptin-mediated natural killer (NK) cell activation has been demonstrated to be impaired by abrogated intracellular JAK2-STAT3 signaling. The contribution of the obese microenvironment to this NK cell dysfunction and its reversibility remains elusive. In this study, the functions of NK cells from diet-induced obese rats after adoptive transfer into lean littermates were investigated using in vivo and in vitro approaches. Endogenous NK cells of normal-weight and diet-induced obese F344 rats were depleted in vivo. Then, NK cells from either normal-weight or obese donors were transferred. The numbers of peripheral blood NK cells were analyzed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and the distribution pattern of NK cells in lung and spleen by immunohistochemistry. Ob-R expression was evaluated by immunohistology and activation of intracellular target proteins of Ob-R by immunoblotting. The numbers of NK cells in blood and lung were significantly higher in obese animals compared to lean ones after transfer of NK cells from obese F344 rats. This was correlated with increased postreceptor signaling (JAK-2p, PKBpT308, ERK-2p) without altered Ob-R expression in those NK cells transferred to lean (ob-->nw) vs. obese (ob-->ob) animals. These results show for the first time that the altered phenotype of NK cells from obese rats can be normalized by generation of a physiological (metabolic) environment of lean rats.
