OBJECTIVES: It remains unclear whether postprandial symptom profiles in patients with visceral hypersensitivity and in those with impaired fundic accommodation differ. Therefore, we evaluated the postprandial symptoms in functional dyspepsia (FD) patients classified according to proximal stomach function. In addition, the effect of gastric relaxation induced by sumatriptan on postprandial symptoms was studied in FD patients with impaired fundic accommodation. METHODS: Twenty-five healthy volunteers (HVs) and 44 FD patients filled out a disease-specific questionnaire (Nepean Dyspepsia Index) and underwent a gastric barostat study to evaluate visceral sensitivity, meal-induced fundic relaxation, and postprandial symptoms. Postprandial symptoms evoked by a drink test or reported during the barostat study were compared between FD patients subdivided according to the underlying pathophysiological mechanism. Finally, the effect of sumatriptan on postprandial symptoms evoked by a drink test was investigated in HVs and in FD patients with impaired fundic accommodation. RESULTS: There was no clear relationship between any of the 15 Nepean Dyspepsia Index symptoms and proximal stomach function. Postprandial symptoms evoked during the barostat study or after the drink tests were significantly higher in FD patients than in HVs; however, no clear differences in symptom profile could be demonstrated between the different subclasses of FD. Sumatriptan did not affect the maximal ingested volume or the postprandial symptoms in HVs or FD patients after a drink test. CONCLUSIONS: No clear relationship could be demonstrated between postprandial symptoms and proximal stomach function. 相似文献

Epidemiological studies suggest considerable overlap between functional dyspepsia (FD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). AIM: The aim of the present study was to investigate whether coexisting IBS is also associated with symptom pattern or pathophysiology in FD. METHODS: In 309 consecutive FD patients (207 women, age 42 +/- 0.8 yr), questionnaires were used to assess the dyspepsia symptom pattern and the Rome II criteria for IBS. The overall symptom severity was calculated adding the severity score (0-3, 0 = absent, 3 = severe) of eight dyspepsia symptoms. All patients underwent Helicobacter pylori testing, gastric barostat to determine sensitivity to distention and accommodation to a meal, and gastric emptying breath test. RESULTS: Fifty-four percent of the patients had FD alone, whereas 46% had FD + IBS. FD + IBS patients were more likely to be female (75%vs 60%, p < 0.01) and to have a greater weight loss (5.4 +/- 0.6 vs 3.5 +/- 0.4 kg, p < 0.05). Coexisting IBS did not increase the risk of having any of the dyspeptic symptoms but the overall symptom severity was significantly higher in FD + IBS (12.4 +/- 0.4 vs 9.8 +/- 0.3, p < 0.01). FD + IBS patients had a lower threshold for first perception (2.9 +/- 0.3 vs 3.8 +/- 0.3 mmHg, p < 0.05) and for discomfort (7.9 +/- 0.4 vs 9.5 +/- 0.5 mmHg, p < 0.05) and a greater prevalence of hypersensitivity to gastric distention (44%vs 28%, p < 0.05). Gastric emptying, accommodation to a meal, and prevalence of H. pylori infection did not differ in the two groups. CONCLUSION: About half of the FD patients fulfill the Rome II criteria for IBS. FD + IBS is more prevalent in female patients and is associated with a higher weight loss, with greater overall symptom severity, and with hypersensitivity to distention. 相似文献

Antro-fundic dysfunctions in functional dyspepsia 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Symptoms in functional dyspepsia have been related to impaired accommodation and hypersensitivity of the proximal stomach. We hypothesized that identification of putative antral dysfunctions provides a more comprehensive pathophysiological interpretation. METHODS: In 30 patients with functional dyspepsia and 22 healthy subjects, 2 consecutive studies were performed. In study I, with the subjects in the upright position, the proximal and distal stomach were selectively distended by bags containing air and water, respectively, while perception and fundic relaxation in response to antral distention were measured. In study II, by using air-filled bags connected to a tensostat, the proximal and the distal stomach were selectively distended by positioning the subjects on the right and left lateral decubitus, respectively, while perception, compliance, and the responses to intestinal nutrient infusion were measured. RESULTS: Patients with dyspepsia showed hypersensitivity of both the proximal stomach (discomfort at 30 +/- 3 g vs. 62 +/- 2 g in controls; P < 0.05) and the antrum (discomfort at 31 +/- 2 g vs. 53 +/- 4 g in controls; P < 0.05). Fundic and antral fasting tone was normal, but reflex fundic relaxation induced either by antral distention (3 +/- 16 mL at 80 mL of distention vs. 38 +/- 10 mL in controls; P < 0.05) or by intestinal nutrients (35 +/- 7 mL vs. 107 +/- 8 mL in controls; P < 0.05) was markedly impaired. CONCLUSIONS: Antral and fundic dysfunctions interact to produce the symptoms of functional dyspepsia, and impaired control of fundic accommodation may lead to overload of a hypersensitive antrum. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: A reduction of gastric accommodation after a meal has been documented in patients with idiopathic dyspepsia. In these patients the administration of a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist may reduce some of the dyspeptic symptoms; it is not clear however, whether these drugs influence gastric adaptation to distension as well. AIM: To evaluate the effects of the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, ondansetron, on gastric distension after a liquid meal in dyspeptic patients with reduced gastric accommodation. METHODS: Before and after a 500 ml water load, gastric accommodation (area of the proximal and distal stomach) was evaluated using real-time ultrasonography in 21 idiopathic dyspepsia patients and 26 healthy controls. In dyspeptic patients, the test was repeated twice: after the administration of placebo and after ondansetron 8 mg i.v. (in both cases, 15 min prior to the water load). Secondary outcomes were epigastric pain, fullness and nausea as assessed by a visual analogue scale at basal and after ondansetron. RESULTS: Fasting gastric size was similar in dyspeptic and controls. Compared with controls, dyspeptic patients showed a statistically significant smaller area of the proximal stomach (14.7+/-1.2 cm(2) vs. 18.6+/-1.4 cm(2), respectively; p=0.0247). In dyspeptic patients, gastric proximal and distal size did not change significantly following placebo, whereas after the administration of ondansetron the mean area of the proximal and distal stomach significantly increased (proximal stomach: 14.6+/-1.6 cm(2) placebo, 20.4+/-1.9 cm(2) ondansetron, p=0.0095; distal stomach: 8.9+/-0.9 placebo, 11.4+/-1.2cm(2) ondansetron, p=0.0409). Of the symptoms, only nausea was significantly reduced after ondansetron. CONCLUSION: In dyspeptic patients with impaired gastric accommodation, ondansetron reverts gastric accommodation to within the range of controls. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: A new distension paradigm, by which the gastric volume response to ramp-tonic distension can be analysed in detail, has been developed. The aim of this study was to investigate the applicability of this new paradigm in man, and to compare pressure-induced gastric accommodation in healthy volunteers (HV) and patients with functional dyspepsia (FD). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Ten HV, and 11 FD patients were examined twice; once in the fasting state and once postprandially. Intragastric bag pressure was raised from 1 to 12 mmHg in 4 min (ramp phase) and then kept constant for 5 min (tonic phase). RESULTS: Compared to HV, fasting FD patients had lower gastric accommodation rates (0.9+/-0.2 versus 2.5+/-0.4 ml/s, p=0.002), lower maximum volume (239+/-39 versus 428+/-64 ml, p=0.01) and a longer accommodation time (157+/-26 versus 92+/-15 s, p=0.03). A test meal prior to distension tended to normalize the response in FD patients. CONCLUSIONS: This new barostat paradigm allowed detailed analysis of short-term pressure-induced accommodation in man. Impaired gastric distension-induced accommodation is a novel abnormality in FD. 相似文献

AIM To study the effect of itopride on gastric accommodation, gastric emptying and drinking capacity in functional dyspepsia(FD). METHODS Randomized controlled trial was conducted to check the effect of itopride on gastric accommodation, gastric emptying, capacity of tolerating nutrient liquid and symptoms of FD. We recruited a total of 31 patients having FD on the basis of ROME III criteria. After randomization, itopride was received by 15 patients while 16 patients received placebo. Gastric accommodation was determined using Gastric Scintigraphy. ~(13) C labeled octanoic breadth test was performed to assess gastric emptying. Capacity of tolerating nutrient liquid drink was checked using satiety drinking capacity test. Theintervention group comprised of 150 mg itopride. Patients in both arms were followed for 4 wk. RESULTS Mean age of the recruited participant 33 years(SD = 7.6) and most of the recruited individuals, i.e., 21(67.7%) were males. We found that there was no effect of itopride on gastric accommodation as measured at different in volumes in the itopride and control group with the empty stomach(P = 0.14), at 20 min(P = 0.38), 30 min(P = 0.30), 40 min(P = 0.43), 50 min(P = 0.50), 60 min(P = 0.81), 90 min(P = 0.25) and 120 min(P = 0.67). Gastric emptying done on a sub sample(n = 11) showed no significant difference(P = 0.58) between itopride and placebo group. There was no significant improvement in the capacity to tolerate liquid in the itopride group as compared to placebo(P = 0.51). Similarly there was no significant improvement of symptoms as assessed through a composite symptom score(P = 0.74). The change in QT interval in itopride group was not significantly different from placebo(0.10). CONCLUSION Our study found no effect of itopride on gastric accommodation, gastric emptying and maximum tolerated volume in patients with FD. 相似文献

Breathing exercises with vagal biofeedback may benefit patients with functional dyspepsia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

OBJECTIVE: Many patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) have postprandial symptoms, impaired gastric accommodation and low vagal tone. The aim of this study was to improve vagal tone, and thereby also drinking capacity, intragastric volume and quality of life, using breathing exercises with vagal biofeedback. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Forty FD patients were randomized to either a biofeedback group or a control group. The patients received similar information and care. Patients in the biofeedback group were trained in breathing exercises, 6 breaths/min, 5 min each day for 4 weeks, using specially designed software for vagal biofeedback. Effect variables included maximal drinking capacity using a drink test (Toro clear meat soup 100 ml/min), intragastric volume at maximal drinking capacity, respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), skin conductance (SC) and dyspepsia-related quality of life scores. RESULTS: Drinking capacity and quality of life improved significantly more in the biofeedback group than in the control group (p=0.02 and p=0.01) without any significant change in baseline autonomic activity (RSA and SC) or intragastric volume. After the treatment period, RSA during breathing exercises was significantly correlated to drinking capacity (r=0.6, p=0.008). CONCLUSIONS: Breathing exercises with vagal biofeedback increased drinking capacity and improved quality of life in FD patients, but did not improve baseline vagal tone. 相似文献

Up to 30% of subjects undergoing Nissen fundoplication develop dyspeptic symptoms. Previous studies using the water load test
have shown that functional dyspepsia patients have a diminished drinking capacity due to increased visceral sensitivity. Here
we investigate drinking capacity and severity of symptoms in 9 patients with dyspeptic symptoms after fundoplication, 9 patients
without symptoms after surgery, 18 functional dyspepsia patients, and 18 controls. The water load test was performed by having
subjects drinking room-temperature tap water at a predetermined rate of 15 ml/min. The presence and severity of symptoms during
the test were evaluated every 5 min using a Likert scale. We found that patients with dyspeptic symptoms after fundoplication
had a significantly lower drinking capacity and higher symptoms scores than controls (P<0.05) but values similar to those of functional dyspepsia patients (P>0.05). In contrast, drinking capacity in patients without symptoms after surgery was similar to that in controls (P>0.05). These findings suggest that, as in functional dyspepsia, severe dyspeptic symptoms after Nissen fundoplication are
associated with an impaired drinking capacity, reflecting visceral hypersensitivity or impaired gastric accommodation or both.

Influence of corticotropin-releasing hormone on gastric sensitivity and motor function in healthy volunteers 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

BACKGROUND: As stress may be involved in the generation of functional dyspeptic symptoms, we evaluated the effect of the stress hormone, corticotropin-releasing hormone, on proximal stomach function. Twelve healthy volunteers [six women; 23 years (20-26 years)] underwent a barostat study on 2 days. During the infusion of corticotropin-releasing hormone (2.3 microg/kg/h) or saline, a stepwise distension protocol was performed followed by ingestion of a liquid meal (Nutridrink, 200 ml, 300 kcal). RESULTS: Corticotropin-releasing hormone infusion induced a significant increase in cortisol levels and basal volumes compared with placebo. The threshold for discomfort, meal-induced accommodation, dyspeptic symptoms, heart rate and blood pressure were all not significantly altered by corticotropin-releasing hormone infusion. CONCLUSION: In healthy volunteers, peripheral infusion of corticotropin-releasing hormone reduces basal fundic tone, but has no effect on meal-induced accommodation or visceral sensitivity to gastric distension. Our findings suggest that in healthy volunteers, peripheral corticotropin-releasing hormone seems not to be involved in the onset of dyspeptic symptoms. 相似文献

Maximum tolerated volume in drinking tests with water and a nutritional beverage for the diagnosis of functional dyspepsia 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

AIM: Recently, drinking load tests with water or nutritional beverages have been proposed as diagnostic tools for functional dyspepsia (FD), therefore we sought to reproduce if these tests can discriminate between FD patients and controls in a Mexican population. METHODS: Twenty FD-Rome Ⅱ patients were matched by age and gender with 20 healthy controls. All underwent both drinking tests at a 15 mL/min rate, randomly, 7 d apart. Every 5 min within each test, four symptoms were evaluated (satiety, bloating, nausea and pain) by Likert scales. Maximum tolerated volume (MTV) was defined as the ingested volume when a score of 5 was reached for any symptom or when the test had to be stopped because the patients could not tolerate more volume. Sensitivity and specificity were analyzed. RESULTS: FD patients had higher symptom scores for both tests compared to controls (water: t = 4.1, P= 0.001 <0.01; Nutren(?): t = 5.2, P= 0.001<0.01). The MTV for water and Nutren(?) were significantly lower in FD (water: 1014±288 vs 1749±275 mL; t = 7.9, P= 0.001<0.01; Nutren(?): 652±168 vs 1278±286 mL; t= 6.7, P= 0.001 <0.01). With the volume tolerated by the controls, the percentile 10 was determined as the lower limit for tolerance. Sensitivity and specificity were 0.90, 0.95 for water and 0.95, 0.95 for Nutren(?) tests. CONCLUSION: A drinking test with water or a nutritional beverage can discriminate between FD patients and healthy subjects in Mexico, with high sensitivity and specificity. These tests could be used as objective, noninvasive, and safe diagnostic approaches for FD patients. 相似文献

AIMS: Impaired gastric accommodation is a major pathophysiological mechanism in functional dyspepsia. The aim of the present work was to assess a satiety drinking test in the evaluation of accommodation in health and dyspepsia. METHODS: Twenty five controls and 37 severely dyspeptic patients seen at a tertiary care centre completed a dyspepsia questionnaire, and gastric emptying and gastric barostat studies. The amount of liquid meal ingested at maximum satiety during a slow satiety drinking test was determined. In controls, we studied the influence of caloric density and of pharmacological agents that influence accommodation. RESULTS: In patients, satiety scores were higher and maximum satiety occurred at lower calories (542 (50) v 1508 (53) kcal; p<0.0001). Six patients had required nutritional support, but excluding these did not alter the correlations. With increasing severity of early satiety, less calories were ingested at maximum satiety. In multivariate analysis, the amount of calories was significantly correlated to accommodation but not to gastric emptying or sensitivity. Sensitivity and specificity of the satiety test in predicting impaired accommodation reached 92% and 86%, respectively. At different caloric densities, ingested volume rather than caloric load determined maximum satiety. Pharmacological agents (sumatriptan, cisapride, erythromycin) affected the satiety test according to their effect on accommodation. CONCLUSION: A slow caloric drinking test can be used to evaluate accommodation and early satiety. It provides a non-invasive method of predicting impaired accommodation and quantifying pharmacological influences on accommodation. 相似文献

Gastric electrical stimulation (GES) improves symptoms in patients with gastroparesis. We sought to determine if stimulation at fundus with parameters used for gastroparesis could affect gastric accommodation and distention-induced symptoms in dogs. Nine dogs were implanted with a gastric cannula at the anterior stomach and 1 pair of stimulation electrodes in the fundus. Assessment of gastric accommodation and a series of gastric distention were performed using a barostat. Stimulation parameters were of short pulse trains of 14 Hz, 5 mA, 0.3 ms, and 0.1 s on, 5 s off. GES at fundus significantly decreased fasting gastric tone. Fasting gastric volume was significantly increased from 56.3+/-10.4 mL at baseline to 102.4+/-23.1 mL with stimulation (P=.011). Postprandial gastric accommodation was significantly enhanced with stimulation. The extent of accommodation increased from 249.3+/-39.9 mL in the control session to 325.8+/-25.1 mL with stimulation (P=.011). Symptom scores induced by balloon distention of the stomach were significantly lower during stimulation in comparison with those of baseline (P=.016). In conclusion, GES with parameters for gastroparesis enhances postprandial gastric accommodation and reduces visceral perception in normal dogs. This effect, if seen also in humans, may explain in part the symptomatic improvement associated with GES therapy in patients with gastroparesis. 相似文献

The origin of symptoms on the brain-gut axis in functional dyspepsia 总被引:32,自引:0,他引:32
It was hypothesized that symptoms in functional dyspepsia are originated by an altered mechanism at the brain-gut axis (one or several) in the process of gastric accommodation to a meal. To test the key mechanisms potentially involved in symptomatic gastric accommodation, the sensorial responses (on a 0-10 perception score) and the gastric tone responses (by electronic barostat) to either gastric accommodation (n = 10) or to cold stress (n = 10) were measured in 20 patients with functional dyspepsia and 20 healthy controls. The mechanical accommodation of the stomach to gastric distention (compliance) was similar in patients (52 +/- 8 mL/mm Hg) and controls (57 +/- 6 mL/mm Hg). However, isobaric gastric distention elicited more upper abdominal discomfort in dyspeptics than in controls (perception scores, 4.7 +/- 0.9 vs. 1.1 +/- 0.5, respectively; mean +/- SE; P less than 0.005). Cold stress induced a similar gastric relaxatory response in dyspeptics and controls (delta vol, 145 mL +/- 40 mL vs. 141 mL +/- 42 mL, respectively); hand perception (scores, 8.3 +/- 0.4 vs. 7.9 +/- 0.4, respectively) and autonomic responses were also similar. It is concluded that an abnormal afferent sensorial pathway (altered gastric perception) may be a major mechanism of symptom production in functional dyspepsia. 相似文献

Impact of sex and psychological factors on the water loading test in functional dyspepsia. 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14

BACKGROUND: The pathogenesis of upper abdominal symptoms in patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) is still unclear. The water loading test (WLT) is a new method for evaluation of gastric function. Our aim was to determine the impact of sex, age and psychological factors on the results of WLT in FD patients, FD-subgroups and healthy controls (HCs), and to evaluate the safety of the test. METHODS: Fifty-six HCs and 35 consecutive patients with FD drank mineral water (100 ml/min) until intolerable. Serum samples for sodium, potassium and creatinine was taken before and after drinking. Water quantity was registered and symptoms were assessed after maximal water intake and 30 min later using a VAS scale. Participants also completed questionnaires measuring psychological general well-being (PGWB) and gastrointestinal symptoms (GSRS and Mearin score). RESULTS: Healthy men drank more than healthy women, 2350 +/- 105 ml versus 1860 +/- 100 ml (P < 0.01), and the same gender difference was noted in FD patients, 1770 +/- 115 ml versus 1180 +/- 110 ml (P < 0.01). Maximal water intake was significantly higher in HC than in FD patients, both in males (P < 0.001) and females (P < 0.0001). Age had no impact on drinking capacity. FD patients had more symptoms 30 min after maximal water intake than HCs. Serum sodium decreased from 141 +/- 0.3 mmol/l to 138 +/- 0.5 mmol/l. Two of the assessed psychological factors, general health and depressed mood, correlated with water intake in FD patients (Rho = 0.47, P < 0.01 respectively Rho = 0.41, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: WLT is a useful, simple and safe test for evaluating symptoms in FD patients. Sex, but not age affects the results of the WLT. Furthermore, psychological factors must also be taken into consideration when interpreting the WLT. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: In a subset of functional dyspepsia patients, we have recently described the association between unsuppressed postprandial phasic contractions of the proximal stomach and a specific symptom pattern. To better elucidate the role of phasic contractility of the proximal stomach in symptom generation, we aimed at inducing this motility pattern in healthy volunteers and we carefully monitored symptom onset. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eleven healthy volunteers underwent gastric barostat on two separate days. Gastric tone and phasic contractility were evaluated for a 90-minute period. In particular, after 30 min of basal recording, a caloric liquid meal and neostigmine 0.5 mg IV or saline in a double-blind, randomized, crossover protocol were administered. During the measurement, severity of 9 dyspeptic symptoms was evaluated on a visual analog scale. Computer-aided baseline reconstruction allowed us to quantify phasic contractions as a motility index (MI), reflecting the area between signal and baseline normalized over time. Perception of contractions after placebo or neostigmine was evaluated. Moreover, we tested for influence of gastric tone and phasic contractility on symptoms. RESULTS: After neostigmine, gastric accommodation was not different than after placebo (225 +/- 36 vs 206 +/- 76 mL, P= NS). During the first 30-min postprandial period, the MI was significantly higher after neostigmine than after placebo (26.4 +/- 3 vs 21.4 +/- 3, P < 0.001), confirming the induction of unsuppressed postprandial phasic contractions. The postprandial total symptom score was significantly higher after neostigmine compared to saline; several individual postprandial symptom scores were also significantly higher after neostigmine-compared placebo. After neostigmine, a higher percentage of postprandial contractions was perceived compared to placebo. CONCLUSIONS: Unsuppressed postprandial phasic contractility of the proximal stomach is a mechanism potentially involved in the pathogenesis of dyspeptic symptoms. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Drinking capacity is often reduced in functional dyspepsia. Drink tests may therefore have diagnostic potential. A simple drink test in combination with ultrasonography was applied in this study, the aim being to find the best drink for this test. METHODS: On separate days, 10 patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) and 10 healthy controls (C) drank three different test meals (Nutridrink 150 kcal/100 mL, meat soup 4 kcal/100 mL and water) at a rate of 100 mL/min until maximal drinking capacity. Intragastric volume at maximal drinking capacity was determined using 3-dimensional ultrasonography. RESULTS: Drinking capacity (P < 0.05) and intragastric volume (P < 0.01) were significantly lower in patients than in the controls with the meat soup meal, but not with Nutridrink or water. Gastric emptying distinguished significantly (P < 0.05) between patients and controls only with Nutridrink. Gastric emptying of Nutridrink was significantly correlated to the rate by which nausea was induced (P = 0.02), while gastric emptying of meat soup was significantly negatively correlated to the rate by which fullness was induced (P < 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis indicated that optimal discrimination between patients and controls was obtained by the combined test results of symptoms per intragastric volume using meat soup as the test meal. CONCLUSION: For the non-invasive diagnosis of functional dyspepsia by a rapid drink test in combination with ultrasonography, a meat soup meal is preferable compared to Nutridrink or water. 相似文献

Symptom Patterns and Pathophysiological Mechanisms in Dyspeptic Patients with and Without Helicobacter pylori 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Helicobacter pylori (HP) has been proposed as a mechanism of functional dyspepsia, but its role is still unclear. Our aim was to investigate the association between HP infection and dyspeptic symptoms and to verify whether the infection affects the pathophysiological mechanism of functional dyspepsia. The presence of HP and its association with dyspeptic symptoms were studied in 326 patients. Also, the effect of HP infection on solid/liquid gastric emptying rates, gastric sensitivity, and accommodation to meal was studied. HP was present in 17% of the patients, who showed symptom prevalence similar to that of HP-negative patients. Presence of HP did not significantly affect gastric emptying rates for solids and liquids, discomfort sensitivity thresholds (8.7 +/- 0.3 vs 9.8 +/- 0.9 mm Hg), or meal-induced gastric relaxation (133 +/- 12 vs 125 +/- 29 ml; all P's NS). In conclusion, in patients with functional dyspepsia the presence of HP infection does not seem to affect significantly the overall prevalence of symptoms or the gastric sensory-motor functions. 相似文献

Novel mechanisms in functional dyspepsia 总被引:6,自引:1,他引:5
Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a highly prevalent but heterogeneous disorder in which multiple pathogenetic mechanisms are involved. Although there are many studies that have investigated various pathophysiologic mechanisms, the underlying casual pathways associated with FD remain obscure. The currently proposed pathophysiologic mechanisms associated with FD include genetic susceptibility, delayed as well as accelerated gastric emptying, visceral hypersensitivity to acid or mechanical distention, impaired gastric accommodation, abnormal fundic phasic contractions, abnormal antro-duodenal motility, acute and chronic infections, and psychosocial comorbidity. A greater understanding of the abnormalities underlying FD may lead to improved management. The aim of this editorial is to provide a critical overview of current pathophysiologic concepts in functional dyspepsia. 相似文献
