Gastric electrical activity and cardiovascular risk factors in relation to autonomic nervous function, hormonal responses, and health-related lifestyles in young men

Background Electrogastrography (EGG) is the noninvasive recording of gastric myoelectrical activity. The purpose of the present study was to assess associations of EGG with risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), autonomic nervous function, hormonal responses, and health-related lifestyles. Methods EGG was measured in 435 Japanese men, aged 24–39 years, who worked at the same company. In addition to anthropometric measurements and blood examinations, power spectral analysis of heart rate variability in low-frequency (LF; 0.04–0.15 Hz) and high-frequency (HF; 0.15–0.40 Hz) bands was conducted. LF/HF and HF were used as the indicators of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous activity, respectively. Serum cortisol and catecholamine levels were measured as well. Results In univariate analyses, the EGG frequency was associated positively with the serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and cholesterol level (both-P < 0.0001) and negatively with age, body mass index (BMI), serum triglyceride level, fasting blood sugar, and diastolic blood pressure (all P < 0.05). The EGG frequency tended to increase with increases in the HF band (P = 0.10) and was not significantly associated with the LF/HF ratio (P = 0.45). Neither hormonal responses nor health-related lifestyle factors such as smoking and alcohol were significant (all P > 0.05). A multivariate analysis indicated that both the HDL cholesterol level and BMI were independent predictors of EGG frequency (both P < 0.05), after adjusting for the significant effects of age, HF, and other CVD factors. Conclusions Slowed EGG frequency appeared to be linked with various CVD risk factors, including obesity and low HDL cholesterol levels, in young men.

Electrogastrography in Patients with Chagas' Disease

Electrogastrograghy (EGG) was performed in 33 patients with Chagas' disease and in 15 healthy volunteers—control group. The EGG was performed in two different periods: in fasting and postprandial. The EGG was submitted to a continuous spectral analysis. The following parameters were evaluated: % dominant frequency in spectral bands: normogastria (2–4 cpm), bradygastria (1–2 cpm), tachygastria (4–10 cpm) and duod/resp (10–15 cpm). EGG was considered normal if normogastria > 65% in both EGG periods. The chagasic group showed % normogastria significantly lower (basal, P < 0.01), % bradygastria (basal, P = 0.01) and % tachygastria (basal and postprandial, P =.001) significantly higher than the control group. EGG was normal in 14/15 (93%) in control group × 16/33 (53%) in chagasic group (P < 0.05). It was concluded that: 1) the prevalence of gastric dysrhythmias was higher in chagasic patients than in comparison to a control group 2) gastric dysrhythmias may be considered one of the abnormalities presented in the chagasic gastropathy.     

Gastric electrical activity in patients with cholelithiasis undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a prospective controlled study

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of gallstone disease (GD) and laparoscopic cholecystectomy on gastric electrical activity of slow waves, which was recorded via transcutaneous electrogastrography (EGG). METHODS: Twenty-one consecutive patients (M/F: 12/9, 52.7 +/- 15 years old) with GD and no previous history of abdominal operations or known disease affecting gastrointestinal motility were studied. The EGG was performed for 30 min prior to and 90 min after a standard meal, during a 4-6 month period prior to and after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The percentile proportion of the three spectra of gastric slow waves frequency was studied, defined as follows: bradygastria, 1-2.1 cycles per min (c.p.m.); normogastria, 2.2-3.9 c.p.m.; and tachygastria, 4-9 c.p.m. The findings were compared to those of nine healthy subjects (M/F: 5/4, 49.5 +/- 14.8 years old). RESULTS: No statistically significant difference was found in percentile distribution of bradygastria, normogastria and tachygastria, pre- or post-prandially, neither before or after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, nor between patients and controls. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with GD do not exhibit differences in gastric electrical activity of slow waves in comparison to normal subjects and laparoscopic cholecystectomy does not alter gastric electrical activity. These findings suggest that cholelithiasis does not seem to cause dyspeptic symptoms due to gastric dysrythmias.     

Impairment of Gastric and Jejunal Myoelectrical Activity During Rectal Distension in Dogs

It is known that distension of the rectum induces gastric hypomotility and delays gastric emptying. Its effect on gastrointestinal myoelectrical activity has not been well studied, however. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of rectal distension on gastrointestinal myoelectrical activity in dogs. Six hound dogs implanted with electrodes on the serosa of the stomach and proximal jejunum were studied. The protocol consisted of a 30-min baseline recording and another 30-min recording during rectal distension. Gastric myoelectrical activity was severely impaired by rectal distension. The dominant power was significantly decreased from –2.79 ± 0.52 dB at baseline to –4.84 ± 1.26 dB during distension (P < 0.05). The percentage of normal 4–6 cycles per minute gastric slow waves was reduced from 95.08 ± 1.11% to 83.63 ± 4.00% (P < 0.02), and the percentage of tachygastria was increased during distension (0.33 ± 0.19% vs 6.03 ± 1.27%, P < 0.02). The instability coefficient of the dominant frequency was significantly increased (0.134 ± 0.012 vs 0.326 ± 0.074, P < 0.05). The percentage of slow wave coupling was reduced from 93.99 ± 0.76% to 73.43 ± 2.07% (P < 0.00003). In the small bowel, only the instability coefficient of dominant frequency showed a significant increase during distension. Other parameters were not affected by rectal distension. We conclude that rectal distension severely impairs gastric myoelectrical activity. The induced gastric dysrhythmia and reduced slow wave amplitude and coupling may be the underlying pathophysiology of gastric hypomotility and delayed gastric emptying observed during rectal distension.     

Electrogastrographic characteristics in patients of stomach cancer

Using a homemade electrogastrography (EGG) system, we studied the characteristics of myoelectrical rhythm in gastric cancer (GC) patients. Based on a short-term Fourier transform, recorded slow waves could be automatically analyzed to obtain the following parameters: dominant frequency/power, percent of normal rhythm (2.4–3.7 cpm), power ratio, etc. Fifty histologically confirmed GC patients (34 men, 16 women) were enrolled before surgical intervention to measure their fasting and postprandial EGG parameters for 30 min. The cancerous parameters of GC patients were then obtained postoperatively. In addition, 46 healthy subjects were enrolled for comparison. When compared to controls, GC patients had the following characteristics: absence of postprandial increase in dominant frequency (GC: 3.04 ± 0.47 vs 3.07 ± 0.44 cpm, NS; controls: 3.02 ± 0.31 vs 3.21 ± 0.25 cpm, P < 0.001), marked power response after meal (P < 0.05), and obvious power ratio (4.58 ± 7.38 vs 2.27 ± 2.05, P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis indicated that advanced GC was the factor responsible for the obvious dominant power enhancement after meal (P < 0.05). Other demographic, clinical, and cancerous factors did not influence EGG parameters. We conclude that apparent arrhythmia is not encountered in GC patients, although they mainly exhibit obvious postprandial power response. Advanced GC is likely responsible for this power enhancement on EGG recording.     

Mediation of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization induced gastric slow-wave dysrhythmia by endogenous prostaglandin

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: In recent years, gastric slow-wave dysrhythmias induced by transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) have been observed. Enhanced endogenous prostaglandin may be a possible mechanism for the myoelectrical changes. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the gastric slow-wave dysrhythmias induced by TACE may be mediated by ketoprofen, a prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor. METHODS: Twenty-three patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) admitted for TACE were enrolled. A follow-up TACE was scheduled to take place 2 months later. During the next admission for TACE, 50 mg of ketoprofen was given intramuscularly 12 h for 3 days, beginning 48 h before TACE, as premedication. Cutaneous electrogastrography (EGG) was performed before and within 24 h after TACE. RESULTS: The results showed that the change in the fasting EGG parameters after TACE without premedication was not statistically significant. However, the postprandial EGG parameters, including the dominant frequency (DF); the percentages of DF in the normal, bradygastric and tachygastric range; along with the dominant frequency instability coefficient, deteriorated significantly after the procedure (P < 0.01). After the follow-up TACE with ketoprofen premedication, neither the fasting nor postprandial EGG parameters in the control group changed significantly. CONCLUSIONS: Gastric slow-wave dysrhythmias induced by TACE may be mediated by ketoprofen, a prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor, in HCC patients. However, the improvement in the gastric myoelectrical activity does not eliminate the degree of nausea/vomiting after TACE.     

The role of electrogastrography and gastrointestinal hormones in chemotherapy-related dyspeptic symptoms

Background The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship among motility disorders, dyspeptic symptoms, and plasma levels of gastrointestinal hormones in cancer patients who were well controlled for post-chemotherapy emesis. Methods Twenty-five cancer patients treated with standard dosages of antiemetics and chemotherapies completed the study. Gastrointestinal symptoms were investigated by detailed questionnaire and visual analog score. Motility was investigated by cutaneous electrogastrography, and by blood levels of gastrin, serotonin, vasopressin, and substance P, before and 7 days after chemotherapy. Results Before chemotherapy, no patient complained of dyspeptic symptoms, and no differences in electrogastrography (EGG) or in circulating peptide levels were found between patients who developed dyspepsia and those who did not. After chemotherapy, 13 patients suffered from dysmotility-like symptoms (total symptom score, 11.5 [2.5–37.9]; median value and 5th–95th percentiles), with susceptibility to nausea, early satiety, and postprandial fullness being the major complaints. As regards EGG parameters, a significant reduction (P = 0.04; Mann-Whitney test) in the normal slow-wave percentage and significantly increased tachygastria percentage were found in dyspeptic patients compared with symptom-free patients. The tachygastria percentage was significantly associated with susceptibility to nausea score, in a non-linear fashion (R² = 0.37). Dyspeptic patients showed lower levels of substance P and gastrin than patients who were not dyspeptic, but this difference had no clinical significance for dyspepsia. Conclusions Chemotherapy may induce upper gastrointestinal symptoms suggestive of motility disorders. These dyspeptic symptoms were associated with EGG alterations, but not with variations in circulating peptides. Other hormones or pathophysiological factors, not considered in the present work, could be actively involved in these dyspeptic symptoms.
