ABSTRACT  
Original Article  
PII: S225199391900014-9  
Introduction. Currently obesity is considered as a chronic, relapsing, multifactorial neurobehavioral  
disease, in which an increase in body fat contributes to the dysfunction of adipose tissue and the  
biomechanical effect of adipose tissue on surrounding tissue with development of metabolic and  
psychosocial health effects. It has been proven that bariatric surgery significantly reduces the level of  
pro-inflammatory senility-associated secretory proteins (SASPs), weight reduction increases telomeres  
length and declines their oxidative degradation (lowering of oxidative stress in telomeres), miR10a_5p,  
which is post-regulated with increasing of biological age, decreased after surgery, what suggests that  
bariatric surgery abated the premature aging phenotype. It is of big interest to evaluate comorbidity  
conditions in people with obese class III after the intervention of intragastric balloons (IGB) and  
laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), which are lead to weight loss. Methods. A total of 40 patients (32  
female and 8 male aged 1955 years were considered for the study. Comorbidity was assessed by the  
structure and severity of diseases associated with obesity according to the recommendations of  
Nedogoda (2016). Cardiometabolic disease staging scale of Guo (2015) was used to assess the metabolic  
health. Endovisual surgery-LSG was performed (n=40) on a laparoscopic set and instruments of Karl  
Storz, GMBH & CoKG (Germany). The spherical intragastric balloon (IGB) was installed according to the  
manufacturer's method (BIB ™ System Intragastric Balloon from Allergan Inc. USA) using a GIF-1T20  
Olympus gastrointestinal fibroscope (Japan). Results. Evaluation of the obesity phenotype, a completely  
metabolically healthy phenotype was not detected in any case. Nowadays, the opinion about the  
usefulness of the clinical concept of the metabolic syndrome (MS) is disputed, because it has not been  
convincingly proven its predictive value exceeds that for individual components. Conclusion. Obese  
class III is associated with dyslipidemia/hypertriglyceridemia in 85%; with type 2 diabetes mellitus  
(DM2)/prediabetes in 50%; with arterial hypertension (AH) in 45%; and with non-alcoholic fatty liver  
disease (NAFLD) in 35% of cases. Therefore, two-stage treatment by IGB and LSG make it possible to  
improve the performance on the Cardiometabolic disease staging scale, achieving zero cardiometabolic  
risk in 35% of patients, and in rest of patients move to a lower stage.

INTRODUCTION  
Currently, on the recommendation of the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery Updates (2014-  
2015), obesity is considered as a “chronic, relapsing, multifactorial neurobehavioral disease, in which an increase  
in body fat contributes to the dysfunction of adipose tissue and the biomechanical effect of adipose tissue on  
surrounding tissue with development of metabolic and psychosocial health effects [1, 2]. The cost of medical  
care for people with obesity is significantly higher than for people with normal weight. So, for people with obese  
class I the cost of medical care is 14% more compared to those of normal weight, then for persons with obese  
class III - the cost is 77.1% more; comorbid pathology in obesity has a strong influence on these data [3].  
Comorbidity - a combination of pathological conditions that worsen the patient's prognosis - the risk of  
death from competing diseases, the Charlson index allows to quantify this risk. According to a study that  
included 514,350 individuals [3], the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) in non-obese individuals was 1.84; with  
overweight - 2.04; with obese class I - 2.29; class II - 2.7; class III - 3.06, respectively. The spectrum of CCI  
diseases includes ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular diseases, peripheral vascular  
diseases, connective tissue diseases, chronic lung diseases, ulcers, chronic liver diseases, dementia, diabetes,  
hemiplegia, kidney diseases, tumors, leukemia, lymphoma, metastatic tumors, and immunodeficiency syndrome  
Diseases, traditionally associated with obesity, are arterial hypertension (AH), depression, type 2 diabetes  
mellitus (DM2), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), sleep apnea [5-8]. Comorbidity with obesity also

includes a pro-inflammatory status, a phenotype of premature aging, including secretion of senility-associated  
secretory proteins (SASP) and telomere length reduction. Micro-RNA - non-coding molecules are able to modify  
the post-transcriptional processes causing a metabolically unhealthy condition [9].  
It has been proven, that bariatric surgery significantly reduces the level of pro-inflammatory SASPs,  
weight reduction increases telomeres length and declines their oxidative degradation (lowering of oxidative  
stress in telomeres), miR10a_5p, which is post-regulated with increasing of biological age, decreased after  
surgery, what suggests that bariatric surgery abated the premature aging phenotype. Randomized trials have  
shown that excessive weight loss after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) after 5 years is 61.1%; after  
shunting operations (Roux-en-Y bypass) - 68.3% (the differences are not significant), while the LSG is  
advantageous in terms of frequency of gastric reflux after surgery, showing 25%, whereas after shunting  
operations - 60.4%; the number of reoperations after LSG and shunting operations was 15.8% and 22.1%,  
respectively [10, 11]. According to Salminen et al. [12]’s data, in 5 years after LSG, weight loss was 49%, remission  
of DM2 and AH was achieved in 37% and 29% of cases, respectively, hypolipidemic therapy was stopped in 47%  
of patients.  
Treatment with intragastric balloons (IGB) as a method of reducing excessive body mass, that does not  
require invasive surgery, has become widespread. The method is endoscopic, and opens up the possibilities of  
minimally invasive correction of obesity and serves as an alternative to diet therapy and medical preparation of  
patients for bariatric surgery [13]. The mechanisms of action of the IGB are can be explained as following: to  
decrease in the gastric reservoir due to the volume of the balloon, the achievement of early satiation during the  
meal, as well as slowing down the evacuation of food from the stomach.  
Recent data suggests, that weight loss causes reduction of the risk of comorbidities, where the proportion  
of patients is 52-92% for AH, 82% - is for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and bronchial asthma; 63% - is for  
dyslipidemia; in 82% of cases there is a decrease in the degree of hepatosis, in 20% - the degree of fibrosis in  
NAFLD is declined; 83% of patients achieved remission of DM2, in 95% patients lowered congestion in the  
venous vessels of the lower extremities; in 55% - depression is eliminated, and ultimately, in 95% of patients the  
quality of life is improved [14]. In consideration of above-given data, it is of interest to evaluate comorbid  
conditions in people with obese class III after the intervention of IGB and LSG, which are lead to weight loss.  
MATERIAL AND METHODS  
The objective of the research was 40 patients (32 female and 8 male) aged 1955 years (34.7±2.5 years)  
hospitalized in the State Institution “Republic Specialized Scientific-Practical Medical Center of Surgery named  
after acad. V.Vahidov” in 2016-2019. All patients were obese class III. The class of obesity was assessed by WOG  
(2011), which provides for the Asian type. Criteria for Asians are next: lowered weight (<18.5 kg/m2), normal  
weight (18.5-22.99 kg/m2), overweight (23-24.99 kg/m2), obese class I (25-29.99 kg/m2), obese class II (30-34.99  
kg/m2), obese class III (35-59.99 kg/m2) [15]. The metabolic unhealthy phenotype of obesity is considered to be  
an increase in waist circumference (WC) of more than 102 cm in male and 88cm in female, an increase in blood  
C-reactive protein (CRP) more than 3 mg/l; glucose - more than 5.6 mmol/l; triglycerides (TG) - more than 1.7  
mmol/l; a decline in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) less than 1.04 in men and 1.30 mmol/l in women; elevation of  
blood pressure (BP) more than 130/85 mm Hg.  
Comorbidity was assessed by the structure and severity of diseases associated with obesity according to  
the recommendations of Nedogoda [15]. Cardiometabolic Disease Staging scale [16] was used to assess the  
metabolic health [4]. Endovisual surgery - LSG was performed on a laparoscopic set and instruments of Karl  
Storz, GMBH & CoKG (Germany), using the Harmonic G11 ultrasonic scalpel (Johnson & Johnson, USA), Forse  
Triad energy platform with Liga Sure technology (USA), endoscopic stapling-transection devices of company  
Ethicon Endo Surgery (Johnson & Johnson, USA). This intervention is a restrictive bariatric surgical procedure.  
The technique of operation is consisted in resection most of the stomach, located along the greater curvature  
(curvature major) with preservation of the cardiac sphincter and pylorus and the formation of a narrow gastric  
tube with a volume of 60-150 ml, located along the lesser curvature (curvature minor). LSG was performed in 40  
patients.  
The spherical intragastric balloon (IGB) was installed according to the manufacturer's method (BIB ™  
System Intragastric Balloon from Allergan Inc. USA) using a GIF-1T20 Olympus gastrointestinal fibroscope  
(Japan) under intravenous potentiation with the addition of a local anesthesia of pharynx with solution of  
Lidocaini 10% in spray. After filling the balloon with an adequate volume of liquid and removing the connecting  
tube-catheter, endoscopic monitoring of its position and hermetic properties was performed. The duration of

the IGB entire procedure was 10-15 minutes. The intervention was performed with the participation of an  
endoscopist, a surgeon, an anesthesiologist and an anesthesiological nurse. Patients were observed in 2-3 days,  
in order to prevent complications associated with the possible intolerance of patients to the presence of a  
balloon in the stomach. For the entire period of treatment, proton pump inhibitors (pantaprazole) were  
prescribed, which contributed to a decrease in gastric secretion. Removal of the balloon was carried out after 6  
months.  
C-reactive protein oncentration, serum lipid profile: total cholesterol (CH), triglycerides (TG), HDL, very  
low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL), and glucose, uric acid (UA) ), were determined on an automatic  
biochemical analyzer "VITROS-350" (“Ortho Clinical Diagnostics”, USA). The atherogenic index (AI) was  
calculated using the Klimov’s formula: AI = (cholesterol-HDL)/HDL.  
Ethical approval  
The review board and ethics committee of RSCS named after acad. V.Vakhidov approved the study  
protocol and informed consents were taken from all the participants.  
RESULTS  
We had divided all patients in 2 groups: the 1-st group consists of 34 patients with one stage treatment - only by  
LSG; the second group consists of 6 patients, which treated by IGB installation on 6 month (the 1-st step of  
treatment) and then LSG (the 2-nd step of treatment). Mean body mass index was 51.2±2.3 at the 1-st group and  
62.2±1.3 kg/m2 at the 2-nd group patients. Evaluation of the obesity phenotype, a completely metabolically  
healthy phenotype was not detected in any case, since in all patients, waist circumference exceeded 88 cm in  
female and 102 cm in male. At the same time, 6 patients of the 1-st group had glucose levels below 5.6 mmol/l; at  
5 patients of the 1-st group and 1 patient of the 2-nd group TG concentration was below 1.7 mmol/l; the level of  
HDL is over 1.3 in 5 women from 1-st group, blood pressure was lower than 130/85 at 18 patients (14 patients  
from 1-st group and 4 patients from 2-nd group). These data show the unequal occurrence of components of the  
metabolic syndrome (MS) in obese people.

Nowadays, the opinion about the usefulness of the clinical concept of the MS is disputed, because it has not  
been convincingly proven its predictive value exceeds that for individual components; it could be more  
informative to indicate everyone component separate, moreover, since all the criteria for diagnosing MS  
suggest the presence of three components, and, in fact, we are talking about various options for combining  
obesity with elevated blood pressure, dyslipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and impaired glucose tolerance [14,  
16, 17]. Evaluation of diseases, associated with obesity, at patients of 2-nd group (n=6) showed that AH (2 stage  
according Nedogoda scale) was found at 4 patients; hypertriglyceridemia/dyslipidemia at 5 patients (at 2  
patients - the 2 stage, at 3 patients the 1 stage according Nedogoda scale); at 3 patients was prediabetes (1  
stage according Nedogoda scale), at 5 patients depression. All patients of the 2-nd group had high  
anestesiological risk, LSG was contraindicated for them. So, IGB was installed to these patients. It was very

effective to weight loss and cardiometabolic risk reduction. After 6 month IGB was removed with good result:  
body mass index (BMI) reduced from 62.2±1.3 kg/m2 to 50.1-52.4 kg/m2, hypertriglyceridemia/dyslipidemia  
reduced at 5 patients to 0 stage; AH reduced at 4 patients (to 1 stage at 3 patients and to 0 stage at 1 patient); at  
2 patients fasting glucose level became normal (0 stage); at 4 patients reduced depression (0 stage). After IGB  
removing patients of the 2nd group were underwent LSG (2-nd step of treatment).  
For evaluation effectiveness of LSG we have united patients of the 1-st and the 2-nd groups (n=40).  
Evaluation of comorbidity before LSG showed that AH was the most frequent at 18 patients (45%), NAFLD 1-2  
degree - 14 (35%). In addition, in 11 (28%) cases was found cholecystitis without stones, gastritis - in 5 (13%) cases,  
goiter - in 6 (15%) cases, ventral hernia - in 1 (3%) case, IHD and DM2 - in 1 patient (3%). After LSG, there was a  
significant decrease in the number of patients with DM2/prediabetes, AH, hypertriglyceridemia/dyslipidemia  
(Table 1).  
DISCUSSION  
Discussion of this data confirms that our results reflects common trend. So, according to Song et al. [4] obesity  
strongly increases the risk of developing hypertension (RR = 2.33); complicated DM2 (RR=2.22); uncomplicated  
DM2 (RR=1.85); IHD (RR=1.58); chronic liver disease (RR = 1.3); cerebrovascular diseases (RR=1.08); meanwhile,  
the overall risk for all diseases in people with BMI over 30 kg/m2 is quite high (RR = 2.22) [4].  
It is known, that the class of obesity greatly influences the growth of comorbidity of AH, DM2 and chronic  
liver diseases; whereas the incidence of IHD, cerebrovascular diseases, depression does not increase  
significantly depending on the increase in BMI, being approximately less than 8-10% in normal-weight and 10-  
15% in people with obese class III, while the incidence of AH in people with normal weight/overweight is about  
the same and is about 18%, and in persons with obese class III - more than 50%; chronic liver diseases in  
overweight people occur in 18%, and in obese class III - in 35% of cases, for DM2, these numbers are 16-18% in  
overweight and 45% in obese class III [4].  
Of particular interest is NAFLD a systemic disorder, which associated with various chronic conditions,  
including obesity, diabetes, kidney disease, and cardiovascular diseases [15]; some authors supposed that  
NAFLD is a hepatic manifestation of the MS [18]. The frequency of NAFLD has increased over the past 30  
years in direct correlation with an increase in sugar consumption (sugar-containing beverages, cakes) and the  
development of obesity [19]. Liver lipogenesis is an insulin and glucose-dependent process that is controlled by  
transcription factors. At the presence of insulin resistance (IR), the formation of lipids from glucose in the liver  
is enhanced by the transcription factor SREBP-1c, and its targets are the enzymes of the synthesis of fatty acids  
(FA) palmitoil-synthase, acetyl-CoA-carboxylase, stearoyl-CoA desaturase [20].  
Our results indicate a significant regression of diseases associated with obesity, as well as a reduction in  
the factors responsible for the metabolic unhealthy phenotype of obesity. In addition, there was a positive  
dynamics of a significant decrease in the level of UA from 359±18 to 283±9 μmol/l (the difference with the initial  
data was 21.2%, P<0.05) and the CRP from 15.5±0.2 to 5.0±0.5 mg/l (the difference with the initial data - 66.7%,  
P<0.05).  
Discussing the pathogenetic role of UA in obesity, we note that UA has a pro-inflammatory effect and  
enhances lipogenesis, and is closely associated with the development of NAFLD [21]. The pro-inflammatory  
effect of UA is realized through the activation of NFkB, stimulation of NLRP3 by inflammosomas, activation of  
NADPH-mitochondrial (MCH) oxidase, which increases the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). It is  
known that two enzymes are sensitive to ROS in mitochondria enoyl-CoA hydratase (an enzyme of fatty acid  
beta-oxidation) and aconitase an enzyme of the Krebs cycle [22]. Oxidative modification of aconitase and  
enoyl-CoA hydratase leads to their inactivation, resulting in an increase in citrate, its release into the cytosol  
and increased lipogenesis. Synthesis of UA is associated with generation of ROS, which initiate oxidative stress  
(OS) both in mitochondria and in the endoplasmic reticulum (EPR), inducing inflammation and fibrosis, as well  
as insulin resistance. OS in MCH and EPR of hepatocytes lead to activation of the sterol-regulatory element that  
binds the transcription factor beta (SREBP-1c), followed by stimulation of lipogenesis through the activation of  
acetyl-Coa-carboxylase [22, 23]. Clinical studies have shown that the degree of liver fibrosis according to biopsy  
is higher in patients with high concentration of UA [12]. Meta-analysis confirmed that the frequency of NAFLD  
increases by 3% with an increase in UA by 1 mg/dL [20]. It is possible, that the decrease in UA levels that we  
detected in our patients also contributes to the regression of comorbidity in the bariatric treatment of obesity.  
In the majority of clinical recommendations, a good target effect from the point of health is considered to  
be a weight reduction of 3-10% within 6 months and its subsequent stabilization. With a BMI of more than 35

kg/m2 and the presence of comorbid pathology, a weight reduction target is of more than 10%, and with a BMI  
of ≥ 40 kg/m2 by 20-25% (AACE/ACE, 2014) [1] As our results, after limiting the amount of ingested food by  
reducing the volume of the stomach after IGB installation weight loss was 17.7%, after LSG 19.5% from the  
baseline, respectively. At the patients of the 2-nd group after 2 steps of treatment (IGB installation and LSG)  
weight loss was 33.8% from baseline level. IGB was established for 6 months as a preoperative preparation to  
reduce perioperative risk, followed by LSG. Improving the metabolic profile in patients after treatment reflects  
the average numbers of anthropometry and laboratory tests (Table 2).

In patients after LSG the lipid profile, fasting glucose level did not differ significantly from the control  
group (P>0.05), indicating that LSG is effective in the first 6 months after the intervention. When choosing the  
method of operation of patients with obese class III, such factors as BMI, cardiopulmonary diseases and other  
factors that increase the risk of abdominal operations come to the fore. IGB can be effectively used as a  
preoperative preparation in individuals with extremely high body mass as the first stage of weight loss before  
LSG.  
Regarding the results, we note that, according to randomized trials, caloric restriction of food allows  
achieving sustainable weight loss, and even with subsequent weight gain, the positive effect of weight loss on  
pro-inflammatory markers and biochemical parameters persists permanently [24]. According to Shelest et al.  
[23], it is obesity that makes a significant contribution to the increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines and  
adipocytokines. These authors have shown that in patients with AH in combination with obesity, there was a  
significant increase in leptin and decrease in adiponectin on the background of a significant increase in IL-6 and  
IL-10; in hypertension without obesity, these parameters did not change significantly relative to control (P>0.05)  
[25]. As our observation study showed, all patients after bariatric intervention have improved metabolic health,  
assessment with Cardiometabolic Disease Staging scale by Guo [16] showed that zero (0) stage, when there are  
no risk factors, was observed in 14 (35%) patients (before treatment - none); Stage 1 (2 risk factors) - in 20 (50%)  
patients versus 18 before treatment; Stage 2 (3 or more risk factors) - in 4 patients versus 8 before treatment;  
Stage 3 (3 factors + prediabetes) - in 4 versus 12 before treatment; Stage 4 (DM2, CHD, etc.) - in 2 patients (Figure  
1).

CONCLUSION  
Obese class III is associated with dyslipidemia/hypertriglyceridemia in 85%; with DM2/prediabetes - in 50%,  
with AH in - 45%; and with NAFLD - in 35% of cases. IGB as the 1-st step of treatment allow to achieve a  
reduction in BMI by on 17,7% of the baseline, and regression of comorbidity. Two step treatment IGB and then  
LSG caused reduction of weight on 33,8% in 12 month after starting of treatment. LSG caused reduction of  
comorbidity: prediabetes decreases by 2 times, AH - by 3 times; dyslipidemia 1,9 times; reduction of NAFLD –  
1,8 times in 6 months after the intervention. Two stage treatment by IGB and LSG make it possible to improve  
the performance on the Cardiometabolic Disease Staging scale, achieving zero cardiometabolic risk in 35% of  
patients, and in rest of patients - move to a lower stage. Reduction in weight and comorbidity because of LSG  
and IGB combined with a significant reduction in UA and SRP.
