An association between dyspepsia, gastricmotility disorders, and myoelectrical abnormalities hasbeen noted. The objective of the present study was toinvestigate both antral myoelectrical activity and gastric emptying in patients with functionaldyspepsia (FD). Electrogastrography (EGG) was performedin 25 adult patients with FD, which had been evaluatedby score. After an overnight fast, for 1 hr in the pre- and postprandial state (370 kcalliquid-solid test meal) the following EGG parameterswere determined: dominant frequency [DF (cpm)], DF (%)in the normal range (2-4 cpm), bradygastria (<2 cpm), tachygastria (4-10 cpm), dominant frequencyinstability coefficient (DFIC), and postprandial tofasting power ratio (PR). The data were correlated toresults obtained in 20 age- and gender-matched controls. In addition, in 17 consecutive patients the EGGdata were compared to the gastric retention ofradionuclides after 60 min (liquid-solid phase labeledwith 99mTc colloid). Patients with FDrevealed a preprandial increase in tachygastria compared to controls(P < 0.001). Of 17 FD, seven patients exhibiteddelayed gastric emptying (t60 retention >68%). Thesepatients showed significantly more pre- and postprandial tachygastrias than patients with normal gastricemptying (P < 0.05). The dyspeptic symptology and H.pylori status did not correlate with EGG andradioscintigraphy. Patients with FD frequently revealimpaired gastric emptying and increased tachygastria,which may have pathophysiological significance in someof these patients.  相似文献

Gastric myoelectrical activity modulates gastric motor activity. Abnormalities in gastric myoelectrical activity may be associated with gastric motility disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation of gastric myoelectrical activity with gastric emptying in symptomatic patients with and without gastroparesis. Ninety-seven patients with symptoms suggestive of gastroparesis participated in the study. Gastric myoelectrical activity was recorded using surface electrogastrography. The electrogastrogram (EGG) was recorded for 30 min in the fasting state and for 120 min after a solid test meal. Gastric emptying of the solid meal was simultaneously monitored for 120 min. Patients with delayed gastric emptying showed a significantly lower percentage of normal gastric slow waves (P<0.03) and a significantly reduced increase of the dominant power in the postprandial EGG (P<0.02). Postprandial EGG parameters were found to be able to predict delayed emptying of the stomach. Postprandial gastric dysrhythmia predicts delayed gastric emptying with an accuracy of 78%, while the abnormality in postprandial EGG power predicts delayed gastric emptying with an accuracy of 75%. All patients with abnormalities in both the rhythmicity and the power had delayed gastric emptying. Patients with delayed gastric emptying have a lower percentage of normal gastric slow waves in the EGG and a lower postprandial increase in the dominant power. Abnormalities in the postprandial EGG seem to be able to predict delayed emptying of the stomach. However, a normal EGG does not seem to guarantee normal emptying of the stomach.  相似文献

AIM:To evaluate the effect of prokinetic drugs on electrogastrography(EGG) parameters according to symptomatic changes in patients with functional dyspepsia(FD).METHODS:Seventy-four patients with FD were prospectively enrolled in this study between December 2006 and December 2010.We surveyed the patients using a questionnaire on dyspeptic symptoms before and after an 8-wk course of prokinetic drug treatment.We also measured cutaneous pre-prandial and postprandial EGG recordings including percentage of gastric waves(normogastria,bradygastria,tachygastria),dominant frequency(DF),dominant power(DP),dominant frequency instability coefficient(DFIC),dominant power instability coefficient(DPIC),and the ratio of post-prandial to fasting in DP before and after the 8-wk course of prokinetic drug treatment.RESULTS:Fifty-two patients(70%) achieved symptomatic improvement after prokinetic drug treatment.Patients who had normal gastric slow waves showed symptom improvement group after treatment.Postprandial DF showed a downward trend in the symptom improvement group,especially in the itopride group.Post-prandial DP was increased regardless of symptom improvement,especially in the itopride group and mosapride group.Post-prandial DFIC and DPIC in the symptom improvement group were significantly increased after the treatment.The EGG power ratio was increased after treatment in the symptom improvement group(0.50 ± 0.70 vs 0.93 ± 1.77,P = 0.002),especially in the itopride and levosulpiride groups.CONCLUSION:Prokinetics could improve the symptoms of FD by regulating gastric myoelectrical activity,and EGG could be a useful tool in evaluating the effects of various prokinetics.  相似文献

The aims of the current study were to determine the activation states of antral eosinophils and mast cells and to evaluate the interactions of antral inflammatory cells with gastric emptying and electrogastrography (EGG) in 30 pediatric patients with functional dyspepsia. Eosinophil degranulation was moderate in 42% and extensive in 54% of patients. Mast cell degranulation was >50% in 81% of patients. Elevated mast cell density was associated with slower one hour gastric emptying and increased preprandial dysrhythmia. Mast cell density correlated with the preprandial percentage tachygastria. CD3+ cell density correlated with the preprandial percentage tachygastria also, but only in patients with increased eosinophil density. In conclusion, antral eosinophils and mast cells are significantly activated in pediatric functional dyspepsia. Mast cell density is associated with delayed gastric emptying and preprandial dysrhythmia, suggesting that there may be an interaction between antral inflammation and gastric electromechanical dysfunction in the pathophysiology of pediatric functional dyspepsia.  相似文献

Although hypo- and hyperthyroid patients have different symptoms in the gastrointestinal tract, the mechanism of thyroid action on the gut remains poorly understood. Thus the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hypo- and hyperthyroidism on gastric myoelectrical activity, gastric emptying, dyspeptic symptoms. Twenty-two hyperthyroid (median age 45, 15 females) and 11 hypothyroid (median age 42, 10 females) patients were included into the study. Dyspepsia score, hypo- and hyperthyroid symptom scale, abdominal ultrasonography and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy were performed. Gastric myoelectrical activity was measured by electrogastrograpy (EGG) before and after therapy both preprandially and postprandially and compared with age, gender, and body-matched controls (12 for hypothyroid, 15 for hyperthyroid patients). Radionuclide gastric emptying studies were performed with a solid meal. Hypothyroid patients revealed a significant increase in preprandial tachygastria as compared with controls (12.3% vs 4.8%). The percentage of preprandial normal slow waves (2.4–3.7 cpm) was below 70% (dysmotility) in 7 of 11 hypothyroid patients versus 2 of 12 controls (P < 0.05). Hyperthyroid patients revealed a significantly higher preprandial (3.1 vs 2.8) and postprandial (3.4 vs 3) DF when compared with the controls (P < 0.05). A higher percentage of postprandial taschygastria (7.9 vs 0) was present in hyperthyroid patients than in the controls (P < 0.05). The decrease on postprandial EGG power (power ratio < 1) was observed in 7 patients the in hyperthyroid group and 1 in controls (P < 0.05). The percentage of postprandial normal slow waves was below 70% in 10 of 20 hyperthyroid patients vs 1 of 15 controls (P < 0.05). After therapy these differences disappeared in the euthyroid state. The hypo- and hyperthyroid symptom scale correlated to dyspepsia score. Dyspepsia score in hyperthyroidism correlated to power ratios in hyperthyroid patients. We detected some correlations between serum levels of fT3 or fT4 and some EGG parameters in hypo- and hyperthyroidism. Dyspepsia score and hypo- and hyperthyroid symptom scale were improved significantly after therapy in the euthyroid state. In conclusions, we showed gastric dysrhythmia by EGG in both hypo- and hyperthyroid patients. Dyspeptic symptoms correlated to the activity of thyroid disease. After therapy, these findings and dyspeptic symptoms improved in the euthyroid state. Abnormalities of power ratios may be responsible of dyspeptic symptoms in hyperthyroid patients. EGG may be a useful and noninvasive tool for detecting gastric disturbances during hypo- and hyperthyroidism.  相似文献

We measured gastric emptying and gastric myoelectrical activity with solid-phase gastric-emptying tests and cutaneously recorded electrogastrograms (EGGs), respectively, in six insulin-dependent diabetic patients with nausea and vomiting who did not respond to standard treatments. Baseline solid phase gastric emptying was markedly delayed (78 +/- 8% retained at 120 min) and EGG recordings revealed gastric dysrhythmias; tachygastria (4-9 cpm signals) in one patient, 1- to 2-cpm waves in two patients, and flatline patterns in three patients. No patient had a normal 3-cpm EGG pattern. After 6 months of domperidone treatment, mean upper gastrointestinal symptoms scores decreased from 17.8 to 3.7 (p less than 0.01), and normal 3-cpm EGG frequencies were recorded from each of the six patients. The mean percentage of meal retained at 120 min decreased but did not improve significantly. Thus, establishment of normal 3-cpm gastric myoelectric activity and resolution of dysrhythmias, not normalization of emptying rates, was associated with improvement in upper gastrointestinal symptoms in these diabetic patients.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a heterogeneous and loosely defined clinical syndrome that is characterized by persistent or recurrent abdominal pain or discomfort centered in the upper abdomen without any identifiable structural or biochemical basis. Gastric myoelectrical activity in functional dyspepsia patients with gastric reddish streaks as a subgroup has not previously been investigated and the potential role of psychosocial distress in the genesis of gastric dysrhythmia in patients with FD is unclear. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Electrogastrography was performed in 45 patients with FD and 35 healthy controls for 30 min in the fasting state and 30 min postprandially. Psychological distress and the number and severity of stressful life events were measured using self-rating questionnaires. RESULTS: FD patients had a higher percentage of pre- and postprandial dysrhythmia, lower dominant frequency, and a higher instability coefficient as compared to healthy controls. In FD patients, severity of stressful life events was positively correlated with the percentage of tachygastria in the fasting state (r=0.43, p=0.005) and marginally positively correlated with the percentage of postprandial tachygastria (r=0.253, p=0.098) and instability coefficient of the dominant frequency (r=0.256, p=0.093). Total number of stressful life events was marginally positively correlated with fasting tachygastria (r=0.25, p=0.098) and instability coefficient of the postprandial dominant frequency (r=0.287, p=0.056). Interpersonal sensitivity was found to be negatively correlated with fasting dominant frequency in FD patients (r= - 0.311, p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: FD patients with gastric reddish streaks have abnormal fasting and postprandial gastric myoelectrical activity. Perceived severity of stressful life events and interpersonal sensitivity are associated with disturbance of gastric myoelectrical activity.  相似文献

The aims of this study were to investigate the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) at ST36 and PC6 points on solid gastric emptying and dyspeptic symptoms in patients with functional dyspepsia. Nineteen patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) were involved in the study, consisting of two parts: (1) acute effects of EA on solid gastric emptying in FD patients with delayed gastric emptying and (2) short-term (2-week) effects of EA on symptoms in FD patients with normal gastric emptying. Results were as follows. (1) Ten of the19 patients showed delayed gastric emptying of solids, and acute EA significantly improved delayed gastric emptying; the halftime for gastric emptying was reduced from 150.3±48.4 to 118.9±29.6 min (P=0.007). (2) In the nine patients with normal gastric emptying, 2-week EA significantly decreased the symptom score, from 8.2±3.3 at baseline to 1.6±1.1 (P < 0.001) at the end of treatment. We conclude that EA at the ST36 and PC6 points accelerates solid gastric emptying in FD patients with delayed gastric emptying and relieves dyspeptic symptoms in FD patients with normal gastric emptying.  相似文献

OBJECTIVES: Our aims were to investigate the dominant frequency and regularity of gastric myoelectrical activity during motion sickness induced with the advanced spatial disorientation demonstrator (ASDD) and to evaluate the effect of domperidone on gastric myoelectrical activity and gastrointestinal symptoms during motion sickness. METHODS: Thirteen healthy volunteers participated in this study. This study was executed using the ASDD, which could duplicate several spatial disorientation phenomena in a safe, controlled environment. Each subject participated in two sessions and received oral administration of 10 mg domperidone before the study in one of the sessions. In each session, three 15-min EGG recordings were made before, during, and after rotation. The symptoms were scored by Graybiel's scale of motion sickness before and after rotation. All EGG data were subjected to computerized spectral analysis to obtain the percentage of normal 2-4 cycles/min (cpm) slow waves, percentage of tachygastria, EGG dominant frequency and power, and instability coefficient of the dominant frequency. RESULTS: We have found that the percentage of normal gastric slow wave was decreased (control session: 86.2 +/- 4.0% vs 70.0 +/- 5.4%, p < 0.01; domperidone session: 82.7 +/- 4.6% vs 69.8 +/- 5.6%, p < 0.03) and the percentage of tachygastria was increased (control session: 8.7 +/- 3.2% vs 17.8 +/- 5.6%, p < 0.01; domperidone session: 9.2 +/- 3.3% vs 18.1 +/- 3.5%, p < 0.01) after rotation in both sessions. The minute-by-minute variation of the gastric slow wave frequency was significantly increased during rotation in both sessions (control: 0.74 +/- 0.16 vs 1.35 +/- 0.19, p < 0.01; domperidone: 0.90 +/- 0.20 vs 1.47 +/- 0.17, p < 0.01). Domperidone did not prevent dysrhythmia or the symptoms of motion sickness. CONCLUSIONS: The percentage of normal gastric slow waves is decreased and the percentage of tachygastria is increased with spatial disorientation. Domperidone does not prevent gastric dysrhythmia or the symptoms of motion sickness induced with spatial disorientation.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: The aims of this study were to determine the electrogastrogram (EGG) changes and gastric emptying rates in diabetic patients and to investigate the correlation between upper gastrointestinal symptoms, fasting blood glucose, and gastric myoelectrical abnormalities. METHODS: Fourteen patients with long-standing type 1 diabetes mellitus and dyspepsia symptoms participated in the study. EGG recordings were obtained 30 minutes before and during a 2-hour radionuclide gastric emptying test for a solid meal. Fasting blood glucose was determined immediately before the gastric emptying study. Symptoms of nausea, vomiting, early satiety, abdominal bloating, and pain were rated from 0 to 3. RESULTS: Nine patients (64%) had delayed gastric emptying with 84.6 +/- 4.5% retention at 2 hours. Seven patients (50%) had abnormal EGG findings. The postprandial power change in the EGG of the patients with delayed gastric emptying (-0.48 +/- 0.16 dB) was decreased compared with patients with normal gastric emptying (4.7 +/- 2.6 dB) (P = 0.079). In patients with abnormal EGGs, the mean symptom score was significantly higher than patients with normal EGGs (2.42 +/- 0.13 versus 2.0 +/- 0.16; P < 0.05). Compared with normal gastric emptying patients, patients with delayed gastric emptying had higher but not significantly different symptom scores (2.31 +/- 0.11 versus 2.08 +/- 0.30; P = 0.225). There was no significant difference in fasting glucose levels in delayed (252 +/- 61.2 mg/dl) versus normal (378 +/- 82 mg/dl) gastric emptying or abnormal (288 +/- 86.4 mg/dl) EGGs versus patients with normal (304 +/- 57.6 mg/dl) EGGs. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, 78% (11 of 14) of patients with diabetes had either gastric motility or myoelectrical abnormalities. Patients with abnormal EGGs had more severe symptom scores. In diabetic patients with symptoms of gastropathy, an EGG may provide an important screening test for diagnosing abnormal gastric motility.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate whether gastric myoelectrical activity was impaired in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) and to explore the role of pancreatic enzyme in regulating gastric myoelectrical activity. METHODS: Twenty CP patients and 20 controls participated in the study. Gastric myoelectrical activity was recorded by a homemade electrogastrography (EGG) device. Two experiments were carried out. In experiment one, EGG was recorded in both controls and CP patients. While in experiment two, either pancreatic enzymes or placebo was given together with test meals. Spectral analysis was used to generate various EGG parameters. RESULTS: The control subjects, but not the CP patients, showed typically increased postprandial dominant frequency. The postprandial dominant power (DP) increment (2.24±1.13 vs 5.35±0.96 dB, P= 0.04) and the percentage of normal 2-4 cpm slow waves (63.0±3.8% vs 77.4±3.1%, P<0.05) were lower in CP patients when compared with the control. In the 20 CP patients, the DP increment (4.76±1.02 vs 2.53±1.20 dB, P<0.05) and the postprandial percentage of normal 2-4 cpm (74.4±2.8% vs 64.8±5.7%, P<0.05) were significantly higher with pancreatic enzyme replacement than the placebo. CONCLUSION: CP patients have an abnormal postprandial stomach myoelectricity showing poor response in dominant frequency/power and regularity, whereas these abnormalities are corrected after pancreatic enzyme replacement. Maldigestion is likely to be the factor leading to abnormal postprandial gastric myoelectricity of CP patients.  相似文献

The effects of trimebutine maleate (TM), a prokinetic drug, on gastrointestinal motility in patients with gastric ulcer were investigated. Twenty patients with active gastric ulcers were allocated to two groups; 10 patients received a proton pump inhibitor alone (PPI group), given orally, and 10 patients received oral TM in combination with a PPI (PPI + TM group), each for a period of 8 weeks. Electrogastrography (EGG) and gastric emptying were measured before and after the treatment period. During the active ulcer stage, tachygastria (more than 0.06 Hz) or bradygastria (less than 0.04 Hz) in the EGG frequency were observed in 9 patients either before or after meals. During the healed ulcer stage, tachygastria or bradygastria was observed in 4 of 10 patients in the PPI group, while in the PPI + TM group, 1 patient had tachygastria and none had bradygastria. Postprandial dip (PD) was observed in 3 of the 20 patients during the active stage, while after treatment, PD was observed in 3 patients in the PPI group and in 6 patients in the PPI + TM group, respectively. Gastric emptying in the PPI group did not show any change between before and after treatment, while that in the PPI + TM group improved significantly after treatment. These results suggest that TM may have an ameliorative effect on abnormal gastric motility in patients with gastric ulcer. (Received Sept. 17, 1997; accepted Apr. 24, 1998)  相似文献

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The effects of diabetes mellitus on gastric myoelectrical activity has not been fully investigated. The aim of the present study was to investigate the pattern of gastric myoelectrical activity in noninsulin dependent diabetics, detected by electrogastrography in an attempt to clarify the relation between diabetic autonomic neuropathy and gastric myoelectrical abnormalities, if any. METHODOLOGY: The study was carried out on 34 noninsulin dependent diabetes (7 males, 27 females). Their age ranged from 35-60 years with mean age of 51.5 +/- 3.5 years. The EGG was recorded for 30 min in both the fasting and postprandial states, using an ambulatory EGG recording device (Digitrapper EGG, Synectics Medical). The adaptive spectral analysis method was used to assess the normality of the EGG. The EGG was defined as abnormal if: the percentage of normal slow waves (2.5-3.7 cycles/min) was below 70% during either the baseline or postprandial recording or there was a decrease in EGG peak power after the meal, or both. RESULTS: EGG abnormalities were detected in 13 patients (38.2%); 1 had tachygastria, 1 had bradygastria, 7 had dysrhythmias, and 4 had decreased EGG peak power after the meal. All diabetic patients with abnormal EGG suffer autonomic neuropathy. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that gastric myoelectrical abnormalities occur in a high proportion of noninsulin dependent diabetics and these abnormalities predominate in those patients with autonomic neuropathy.  相似文献

OBJECTIVES: Gastric motor dysfunction may be responsible, in some patients, for the nausea and emesis that occur after high-dose chemotherapy (HDT) and autologous stem cell transplantation (SCT). Because gastric myoelectrical abnormalities may result in nausea and vomiting in other contexts, we sought to define the prevalence of these abnormalities and their relationship to the development of nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing autologous HDT and SCT, and to determine whether electrogastrography (EGG) could serve to detect gastric motor dysfunction in this population. METHODS: We prospectively studied patients with a variety of malignancies who received standard transplantation doses of chemotherapeutic agents and antiemetics. Gastric emptying scintigraphy was performed before HDT. Gastric myoelectrical activity was assessed before HDT and on days 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28 from SCT using cutaneous EGG electrodes and a portable EGG recorder, and was analyzed by means of a dedicated software program after removal of motion artifact. Symptom assessment was obtained daily from initiation of HDT to 28 days after SCT. RESULTS: A total of 25 patients were studied: 13 women and 12 men, with a median age of 50 yr (range = 32-65 yr). Before HDT, gastric emptying scintigraphy was normal in all patients (median T(1/2) of 50 min [range = 22-75 min]) and only one patient had mild nausea and anorexia. Nausea, emesis, and anorexia occurred in all patients, peaked in severity at day +7 from SCT and, with the exception of anorexia, had returned toward baseline levels by day +28. Fasting dysrhythmias were present in 63% of the studies at baseline. Serial EGG recordings revealed significant slowing of the dominant frequency with a consequent decrease in tachygastria and increase in normogastria and bradygastria as the symptoms peaked in severity with a subsequent return to baseline values at the study's end. The only clinical variable that was predictive of symptom severity was gender. Women had a higher risk of developing anorexia (score > or = 2) at day +14 compared to men (odds ratio = 11.2; 95% CI = 1.7-76.9; p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Baseline abnormalities in gastric myoelectrical activity occur frequently in patients who undergo HDT and autologous SCT despite normal gastric emptying scintigraphy and an absence of symptoms. Although slowing of the dominant frequency was seen as symptoms worsened, we failed to identify any EGG parameter at baseline that could predict the severity of nausea, vomiting or anorexia after transplantation.  相似文献

To determine if chronic gastritis (CG) is associated with gastric dysrhythmia or delayed solid emptying in children with dyspepsia, 22 patients (7–15 years of age) with dyspepsia and normal gross endoscopies were studied. Antral biopsies were evaluated for chronic gastritis, and immunohistology was performed to determine densities of CD3+, CD20+, CD25+, and tryptase-positive cells. Electrogastrography (EGG) and gastric scintiscan evaluation were performed within 2–7 days of endoscopy. CG and increased immune cell densities were not associated with altered gastric emptying. Mean CD3+ cell counts were positively correlated with the percentage normal slow waves, and patients with a normal EGG had increased CD3+ cell density. In children with dyspepsia, chronic antral inflammation in the setting of a normal gross endoscopy is not associated with EGG abnormalities or delayed solid emptying. Chronic gastritis and gastric dysrhythmia may simply be two separate and distinct mechanisms resulting in the clinical entity of dyspepsia.  相似文献
