DPP-4 as a Possible Biomarker of Inflammation Before Abdominal Surgery for Chronic Pathology: Our Experience with Elective Cholecystectomy

Abstract: Background and objectives: Dipeptidyl-Peptidase 4 (DPP-4) is a protein expressed in numerous cells and tissues. Recently it has shown its involvement as a catalyst in the inflammatory response in various pulmonary, autoimmune, intestinal and other pathologies. The objective of this study was to compare the preoperative serum levels of DPP-4 in patients with and without surgical finding of perivesicular inflammation. Materials and methods: a cross-sectional analytical study nested in a prospective cohort, inclu… Show more

“…DPP-IV inhibitors are also thought to reduce cardiovascular risk factors through glucose control, favourable body weight profile, reduction in blood pressure, and circulating free fatty acids, leading to an overall reduction in cardiovascular events such as strokes and ischemic heart disease. [76][77][78][79][80][81] It is postulated that these beneficial effects are due to the release of vasculoprotective endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), stromal cell-derived factor 1 alpha (SDF-1α), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). [82][83][84][85][86] Although these preclinical and mechanistic studies have provided compelling evidence for potentially beneficial cardiovascular effects of DPP-IV inhibition, recent clinical trials including CAROLINA (Cardiovascular Outcome Study of Linagliptin vs Glimepiride in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes), EXAMINE (Examination of Cardiovascular Outcomes with Aloglitin versus Standard Care), and TECOS (Trial Evaluating Cardiovascular Outcomes with Sitagliptin) did not fully support these observations.…”

“…Although controversial, antibiotic prophylaxis in patients undergoing video cholecystectomy is indicated by some authors in order to reduce the risk of surgical site infection [15,16]. However, recent studies have not found a significant difference in patients with prophylactic antibiotic therapy or the use of a placebo in preventing surgical site infection in patients electing for video cholecystectomy [17][18][19].…”
