We have developed methods that allow correlation of propulsive reflexes of the intestine with measurements of intraluminal pressure, fluid movement and spatio-temporal maps of intestinal wall movements for the first time in vivo. A segment of jejunum was cannulated and set up in a Trendelenburg recording system while remaining connected to the vascular and nerve supply of the anaesthetized rat. The resting intraluminal pressure in intact intestine was 2-4 mmHg. Hydrostatic pressures of 2, 4, 8 and 16 mmHg were imposed. At a baseline pressure of 4 mmHg, propulsive waves generated pressures of 9 +/- 1 mmHg, that progressed oral to anal at 2-5 mm s(-1). Individual propulsive waves propelled 0.8 +/- 0.4 mL of fluid. The frequency of propulsive waves increased with pressure, but peristaltic efficiency (mL per contraction) decreased with pressure increase between 4 and 16 mmHg. Atropine, as a bolus, transiently blocked peristalsis, but caused maintained block when infused. Hexamethonium blocked propulsive contractions. Inhibition of nitrergic transmission converted regular peristalsis to non-propulsive contractions. These studies demonstrate the utility of an adapted Trendelenburg method for quantitative investigation of motility and pharmacology of enteric reflexes in vivo. 相似文献

We investigated the relationship between changes in small intestinal motility and changes in blood pressure and heart rate in response to intestinal distension. Rats were maintained under stable anaesthesia with alpha-chloralose, and jejunal motility, blood pressure and heart rate were recorded. Pressure changes during propagated contractions of the circular muscle were recorded in the jejunum when the intraluminal pressure was maintained at 10 mmHg. Raising the pressure in 10 mmHg increments from 10 mmHg to 40 mmHg increased the frequency of propagated contractions from 0.30 +/- 0.06 min-1 (mean +/- SEM) to 1.29 +/- 0.09 per min. In contrast, amplitudes of contractions above baseline pressure decreased from 19.5 +/- 0.6 mmHg to 7.8 +/- 0.5 mmHg. Simultaneously, blood pressure and heart rate were both increased. Pretreatment of rats with capsaicin, or severing the mesenteric nerves acutely, prevented these cardiovascular responses, but did not influence the changes in propagated activity caused by distension. Propagated contractions were blocked by hexamethonium (10 mg kg-1, intravenously [i.v.]) and by local application of 2% lidocaine, but propulsion was unchanged by hyoscine (1 mg kg-1, i.v.). Phentolamine (1 mg kg-1, i.v.) increased the frequency of propagated contractions. The methods described in this work allow the effects of drugs on intrinsic intestinal reflexes to be distinguished from their effects on extra-intestinal, pseudoaffective reflexes. In addition, unlike other experiments using anaesthetized rats, blood pressure increased in response to distension, as it does in mammals that are not anaesthetized. The experiments demonstrate that the neural pathways for propagated contractions that rely on intrinsic nerve circuits, including intrinsic primary afferent neurones, and the neural pathways for extrinsic reflexes that signal pain or discomfort in the intestine, which involve capsaicin-sensitive spinal afferent neurones, are independent. 相似文献

Video-based spatio-temporal maps for analysis of gastric motility in vitro: effects of vagal stimulation in guinea-pigs 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Our aim was to evaluate topographically specific gastric motility changes induced by graded vagal activation. A recently developed method of constructing spatio-temporal maps of motility from video movies was adapted to the in vitro perfused guinea-pig stomach with an intact vagal nerve supply. In the unstimulated preparation, spontaneous activity was low or absent. Bilateral vagal stimulation with frequencies as low as 0.2 Hz triggered weak anally, and in some cases orally, propagating antral contractions at rates of about 5-6 min-1. Upon stimulation with higher frequencies, antral contractions increased significantly in length (starting more proximally) and amplitude, and produced large pressure peaks of up to 25 hPa, with maximal effects at 2-4 Hz. In contrast, the speed of propagation and the interval between peristaltic waves did not change with vagal stimulation at any frequency. Vagal stimulation also produced a significant and frequency-dependent enlargement of the fundus with a maximal effect at 4 Hz. It is concluded that a very low tonic vagal activity is apparently necessary and sufficient to express basic antral motility, while more sustained vagal activity is necessary for high-amplitude gastric contractions and significant sustained fundic relaxation. The constant interval between propagating contractions supports the concept that vagal input impinges on intrinsic enteric neural circuits that have a modulatory role in the myogenic mechanism underlying slow-wave peristalsis, rather than directly on gastric musculature. 相似文献

We investigated and quantified the spontaneous patterns of motility in the isolated guinea-pig proximal and distal colon taken from adult animals. During spontaneous emptying, profiles of proximal and distal colon were recorded with a video camera, and image analysis was used to construct spatio-temporal maps of the motions of the intestinal wall. Four patterns of motility were recorded. In the proximal colon there were neurally mediated contractions that propagated in the aboral direction at 4.1 mm s(-1), gently pushing the soft contents aborally; these are likely to represent spontaneous peristaltic behaviour. A second pattern, insensitive to tetrodotoxin (TTX; 0.6 microM), consisted, in both oral and aboral propagation, of shallow contractions of the circular muscle (ripples). These contractions propagated aborally at 2.8 +/- 0.45 mm s(-1) and orally at 2.03 +/- 0.31 mm s(-1) (n=10). Of these TTX-resistant contractions, 22.5% propagated both orally and aborally from a common origin. The orally propagated component of these myogenic contractions is likely to correspond to the antiperistalsis widely described in the proximal colon. In the distal colon, two patterns of motor activity were observed. One, induced by natural or artificial pellets, consisted of peristaltic contractions that pushed the pellets aborally at 0.8 mm s(-1) and expelled a pellet every 108 s. In the interval between pellet propulsion and after the distal colon had emptied all of its pellets a second, nerve-mediated pattern of motor activity, consisting of clusters of annular circular muscle contractions separated by short dilated regions, slowly propagated aborally at 0.3 mm s(-1). Both of these motor patterns were abolished by TTX (0.6 microM). A latex balloon, inserted at the oral end of the empty isolated distal colon and inflated to a size similar to faecal pellets, was propelled at 1.4 mm s(-1). Epoxy resin-covered natural pellets were propelled at a similar speed of 1.6 mm s(-1).Our data revealed that myogenic and neurogenic patterns of propagated contractions in the colon occur in isolated preparations and are involved in emptying the colon. 相似文献

Echo planar imaging, a development of magnetic resonance imaging, can produce snapshot images of the stomach and antroduodenal segment in as little as 64 msec and can be more useful than conventional techniques when assessing motility. The aim of this study was to compare antroduodenal motility measured by simultaneous perfused tube manometry and echo planar imaging. Ten volunteers were studied following the ingestion of 500 mL water or 500 mL porridge. Antroduodenal images, with acquisition times of 130 msec, were taken at 3-sec intervals, synchronized with motility traces and presented as a split-screen video. This allowed direct visual comparison of gastric wall movement and motility to be made. Contractions were confined to either the stomach or the duodenum or propagated across the antroduodenal segment. Over 4550 images were available for analysis. A larger number of propagated contractions were recorded with echo planar imaging in both water (P = 0.03) and food (P = 0.02) groups, whereas manometry detected a greater number of isolated duodenal pressure waves (P = 0.005). The contraction rate for water and food studies was similar, but direct visualization indicated that the manometric technique under-detected propagated events. The ability of echo planar imaging to record antroduodenal contractile activity provides a new insight into the role of occlusive and nonocclusive contractions during gastric emptying. 相似文献

Abstract The aims of this study were to explore all characteristics of high-amplitude propagated contractions (HAPCs) that would allow them to be distinguished from nonHAPC colonic pressure waves, and to develop computer algorithms for automated HAPC detection. Colonic manometry recordings obtained from 24 healthy volunteers were used. Automated analysis was performed to detect propagated pressure waves and to determine their amplitude, duration and area under the curve (AUC). For each of these variables distribution plots were made. Automated HAPC counts were compared to visual counts by experienced investigators. Distribution plots of 141093 colonic pressure waves lacked a bimodal pattern, as was also the case for propagated contractions (n = 8758). With increasing high-amplitude thresholds for HAPC detection, a gradual decrease in the automatically detected HAPC number was observed. These findings precluded determination of a threshold. Taking visually detected HAPCs as reference, amplitude thresholds of 100 mmHg in two channels, and 80 mmHg in one channel yielded the highest sensitivity (92%). In conclusion, objective criteria to distinguish HAPCs from other propagated pressure waves on the basis of their amplitude, duration or AUC do not exist. Automated detection of HAPCs using empirically derived criteria leads to an acceptable degree of correlation with visually detected HAPCs. 相似文献

Dynamic arterial blood pressure (FINAPRES) response to active standing up, normally consisting of initial rise, fall and recovery above the baseline (overshoot), was compared with the early steady-state arterial blood pressure level to measure sympathetic vasomotor function in healthy subjects [group 1: n=50, 10 female subjects, age 51+/-2.5 years; weight 78+/-2.3 kg; height 174+/-1.4 cm (mean+/-standard error of the mean)] and in kidney transplant recipients under basal (group 2a: n=50, age 51.7+/-1.7 years; weight 77+/-2.1 kg; height 174+/-1.5 cm) and under high (group 2b: same subjects as in group 2a) cyclosporine A whole blood levels. Furthermore, baroreflex sensitivity and the activity of the generating compounds of the sympathetic nervous systems (Mayer waves) were measured. Systolic and diastolic overshoot values did not differ statistically significant in the present study. In the control subjects, a systolic overshoot of 15.4+/-2.7 mmHg and a diastolic overshoot of 15.2+/-2 mmHg was detected. The systolic overshoot disappeared in 57% of group 2a (-7.1+/-2.7 mmHg; P<0.001) and in 50% of group 2b recipients (-8.0+/-2.7 mmHg; P<0.001). Systolic early steady-state level was not lower in kidney transplant recipients before cyclosporine (baseline+2 mmHg) intake, but after cyclosporine administration (baseline-3 mmHg; controls: baseline+3 mmHg; P<0.05). There was a strong association between the overshoot and steady-state levels (P for chi(2)<0.001, n=150). Overshoot of group 1 levels (r=0.428; P<0.01) and group 2 levels (r=0.714; P<0. 001) correlated to their respective steady-state blood pressure. Furthermore, recipients had reduced baroreceptor sensitivities estimated by sequence analysis as compared to controls (10+/-1 ms/mmHg vs. 7.5+/-1.4 ms/mmHg; P<0.05). Mayer waves amplitudes of the heart rate spectrum were elevated statistically significant in renal transplant recipients (44.4+/-0.2 vs. 43.8+/-2.2 A.U.). In conclusion, baroreceptor reflex-dependent overshoot of the arterial blood pressure after active standing up is diminished in kidney transplant recipients, whereas no association to the cyclosporine A whole blood level has been detected. The reduced overshoot may be due to the diminished baroreceptor sensitivity which could be shown in renal transplant recipients. 相似文献

In the present study we evaluated the effects of bilateral microinjection of muscimol (a GABA(A) receptor agonist) and baclofen (a GABA(B) receptor agonist) into the lateral commissural nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) of awake rats on the gain of the baroreflex (BG) activated by a short duration (10-15 s) infusion of phenylephrine (Phe, 2.5 microg/0.05 ml, i.v.). Microinjection of muscimol (50 pmol/50 nl, n=8) into the NTS produced a significant increase in baseline mean arterial pressure ((MAP) 122+/-6 vs. 101+/-2 mmHg), no changes in baseline heart rate (HR) and a reduction in BG (-1.59+/-0. 1 vs. -0.69+/-0.1 beats/mmHg). Microinjection of baclofen (6.25 pmol/50 nl, n=6) into the NTS also produced a significant increase in baseline MAP (138+/-5 vs. 103+/-2 mmHg), no changes in baseline HR and a reduction in BG (-1.54+/-0.3 vs. -0.53+/-0.2 beats/mmHg). Considering that the reduction in BG could be secondary to the increase in MAP in response to microinjection of muscimol (n=6) or baclofen (n=7) into the NTS, in these two groups of rats we brought the MAP back to baseline by infusion of sodium nitroprusside (NP, 3.0 microg/0.05 ml, i.v.). Under these conditions, we verified that the BG remained significantly reduced after muscimol (-1.49+/-0.2 vs. -0.35+/-0.2 beats/mmHg) and after baclofen (-1.72+/-0.2 vs. -0.33+/-0.2 beats/mmHg) when compared to control. Reflex tachycardia was observed during the normalization of MAP by NP infusion and, in order to prevent the autonomic imbalance from affecting BG, we used another group of rats treated with atenolol (5 mg/kg, i.v.), a beta1 receptor antagonist. In rats previously treated with atenolol and submitted to NP infusion, we verified that BG remained reduced after microinjection of muscimol or baclofen into the NTS. The data show that activation of GABA(A) and GABA(B) receptors, independently of the changes in the baseline MAP or HR, inhibited the neurons of the NTS involved in the parasympathetic component of the baroreflex. 相似文献

We developed an ex vivo model of arterially perfused rat duodenum to examine the motor activity of intestine. In this preparation, spontaneously occurring pressure waves with regular rhythm were observed. The oxygen consumption and motor activity of the intestine were compared at different arterial perfusion rates to determine the degree of oxygenation required to elicit spontaneous motility. Pressure waves with regular rhythm occurred at a frequency of 1 min-1 when the arterial perfusion was 3-5 mL min-1, and stopped when the perfusion rate fell below 2 mL min-1. Atropine and hexamethonium reduced the percentage motor index/10 min of pressure waves in a dose-dependent manner, and tetrodotoxin completely blocked motor activity. Acetylcholine stimulated motor activity, and this effect was not antagonized by TTX. These findings suggest that spontaneous contraction in the ex vivo perfused rat duodenum might be mediated by a cholinergic mechanism via muscarinic receptors on smooth muscle, but that noncholinergic mechanisms may also participate in this response. 相似文献

Abstract The presence of high-amplitude propagating contractions (HAPCs) has been identified as a marker of colonic neuromuscular integrity. The physiologic mechanisms of HAPCs initiation have yet to be determined. Distention secondary to colonic filling has been hypothesized as physiologic initiator. The aim of this study was to study the effect of intraluminal balloon distention in the colon of children with defecatory disorders. Colonic manometry was performed with a polyethylene balloon situated at the proximal end of the catheter, which was placed in the most proximal colonic segment reached during colonoscopy. A stepwise pressure controlled distention of the balloon was performed using barostat computer (10–50 mmHg). Propagated contractions were defined as those that migrated over at least three recording sites. They were divided into HAPCs, amplitude >60 mmHg and low-amplitude propagating contractions (LAPCs), amplitude <60 mmHg. Children with spontaneous HAPCs or HAPCs after bisacodyl provocation were considered to have normal motility. Twenty children completed the study. Among the 14 children with normal colonic motility, balloon distention elicited HAPCs in four and LAPCs in 10 children. No HAPC were elicited in six children with abnormal motility and LAPCs were seen in four of them. The balloon-induced propagated contractions had similar characteristics as those occurring spontaneously and after bisacodyl provocation but the pressure needed to elicit them and their amplitude was inconsistent. These findings suggest that intraluminal distention can trigger propagated contractions in children. This mechanism of action for induction of propagated contractions is not as consistent as the motor response found in response to bisacodyl administration. 相似文献

Abstract Measuring propagation anisotropy may help in determining the tissue layers involved in the propagation of electrical impulses in the intestine. We used 240 extracellular electrograms recorded from the isolated feline duodenum. The conduction velocities of slow waves and of individual spikes were measured from their site of origin into all directions. Both slow waves and spikes propagate anisotropically in the small intestine but in different directions and to a different degree. Slow waves propagated anisotropically faster in the circumferential (1.7 +/- 0.8 cm s(-1)) than in the axial direction (1.3 +/- 0.5 cm s(-1); P < 0.001). Spikes, on the other hand, propagated faster in the longitudinal direction (7.8 +/- 4.5 cm s(-1)) than in the circumferential direction (3.3 +/- 4.3 cm s(-1); P < 0.001). Furthermore, the average conduction velocity of spikes (6.3 +/- 4.5 cm s(-1)) was significantly higher than that of slow waves (1.5 +/- 1.1 cm s(-1); P < 0.001). The anisotropic propagation of spikes supports the argument that these propagate in the longitudinal muscle layer. The anisotropic propagation of slow waves may be the result of the interaction between the myenteric layer of interstitial cells of Cajal and their electrotonic connection to both the longitudinal and the circular muscle layer. 相似文献

Head-down tilt (HDT) causes a fluid shift towards the upper body, which increases intracranial pressure (ICP). In the present study, the time course of ICP changes during prolonged exposure to HDT was investigated in conscious rabbits through a catheter chronically implanted into the subarachnoid space. The production of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) after exposure to 7-days HDT was also examined by a ventriculo-cisternal perfusion method. The ICP increased from 4.3+/-0.4 (mean+/-S.E.M.) mmHg to 8.0+/-0.8 mmHg immediately after the onset of 45 degrees HDT, reached a peak value of 15.8+/-1.9 mmHg at 11 h, and then decreased to 10.4+/-1.1 mmHg at 24 h. During 7-days HDT, it also increased from 4.8+/-0.9 mmHg to 9.2+/-1.6 mmHg immediately after the onset of 45 degrees HDT, reached a peak value of 12.8+/-2.5 mmHg at 12 h of HDT, and then decreased gradually towards the pre-HDT baseline value for 7 days. The rate of CSF production was 10.1+/-0.6 microl/min in rabbits exposed to 7-days HDT, and 9.7+/-0.5 microl/min in control rabbits. These results suggest that the rabbits begin to adapt to HDT within a few days and that the production of CSF is preserved after exposure to 7-days HDT. The time course of ICP changes during HDT in conscious rabbits seems to be considerably different from that in anesthetized rabbits. 相似文献

Histamine decreases sphincter of Oddi (SO) contractility in vivo in opossum, but increases contractility in vitro in guinea-pig. In resistor-like SO, such as in pig and man, the histamine effect is poorly known. We investigated the effect of histamine on pig SO in vivo and in vitro and on human SO in vitro. Perfusion manometry catheter and two silver electrodes for simultaneous pressure and electromyography registration were inserted into the SO transduodenally by laparotomy in six anaesthetized pigs weighing for 25-28 kg. Histamine (5-10 microgram kg-1) was infused intra-arterially (i.a.) into the pancreaticoduodenal artery with and without diphenhydramine (75 microgram kg-1) i.a. premedication. Acetylcholine (4 microgram kg-1) i.a., a potent SO stimulator, was used as positive control. After these experiments, the SO was removed and, together with seven human SO from Whipple specimens, were cut into 1.0-1.5 mm thick transverse sections (rings). The rings were placed between two hooks in oxygenated organ bath solution at 37 degrees C. The SO contraction force was measured with isometric force-displacement transducers and registered on a polygraph. SO rings were incubated with histamine (10-100 micromol L-1) and acetylcholine (100 micromol L-1) with or without diphenhydramine (10 micromol L-1), cimetidine (10 micromol L-1), or atropine (1 micromol L-1). Acetylcholine induced huge electrical bursts, and basal SO pressure increased by 20 +/- 10 mmHg. Histamine (10 microgram kg-1) induced strong SO contraction and the SO remained oedematous for over 10 min. Histamine (5 microgram kg-1) resulted in electromyographic burst activity with phasic SO contractions and increase in basal SO pressure by 34 +/- 19 mmHg for over 15 min. Diphenhydramine did not alter acetylcholine-induced SO motility, but significantly decreased histamine-induced contractions and almost abolished electrical activity. In vitro, acetylcholine induced SO contractions in pig (335 +/- 111 mg) and in man (323 +/- 54 mg). Histamine did not change SO tone in man, but in pig it induced dose-dependent contractions in the same way as acetylcholine. These contractions could be inhibited by diphenhydramine, but not by cimetidine or atropine. We conclude that histamine has a stimulatory effect, mediated by H1-receptor, on the pig SO motility. The SO response to histamine is different in adult humans from that observed in young pigs. 相似文献

A simple and reliable experimental model would be useful in human research on new drugs which target transient lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS) relaxation. The aim was to investigate the effect of repeated distensions on the rate of transient LOS relaxation, LOS pressure and motor function of the proximal stomach. Twelve healthy subjects were studied with a multilumen manometric assembly incorporating a sleeve sensor for the LOS and a bag positioned in the proximal stomach and connected to a barostat. Intrabag volume was set at 75% of the threshold for gastric discomfort and maintained for two 30-min distension periods separated by a 45-min washout with the bag deflated. The studies lasted 145 +/- 2 min. The rate of transient LOS relaxations was similar during the two distensions, 3.5;2-4 vs 3;2.5-4 (median;interquartile range) and so was LOS pressure. Baseline intrabag pressure, as a measure of gastric tone, and the number of pressure waves, as a measure of phasic contractions, were also similar, 11.3;9.3-12.3 mmHg vs 10.8;9.3-12.5 mmHg and 16;13-28 mmHg vs 19;15-29 mmHg, respectively. Our model allows to perform 1-day studies which can assess two experimental conditions on transient LOS relaxations and motor function of the proximal stomach within an acceptable time span. 相似文献

Recordings of intraluminal pressure at the equine ileocecal junction indicate the presence of a high-pressure zone of about 6 mm Hg over a distance of 5 cm. Both cecal distention by air and acidification of cecal contents by short-chain fatty acids elicited bursts of phasic pressure waves at the ileocecal junction. Phasic contractions contributed to the concomitant increase of tone at the ileocecal junction. Reflux of acidic cecal contents into the ileum was immediately counteracted by propagated phasic contractions. It appears that contractions propagated toward the cecum, rather than stationary contractions, contribute to the sphincteric properties at the ileocecal junction. The patterns of motor activity of the ileocecal region in species with a well-developed cecum suggest the additional presence of numerous propagated contractions of cecal origin. 相似文献

The motor dysfunctions underlying delayed gastric emptying (GE) in critical illness are poorly defined. Our aim was to characterize the relationship between antro-duodenal (AD) motility and GE in critically ill patients. AD pressures were recorded in 15 mechanically ventilated patients and 10 healthy volunteers for 2 h (i) during fasting, (ii) following an intragastric nutrient bolus with concurrent assessment of GE using the (13)C-octanoate breath test and (iii) during duodenal nutrient infusion. Propagated waves were characterized by length and direction of migration. Critical illness was associated with: (i) slower GE (GEC: 3.47 +/- 0.1 vs 2.99 +/- 0.2; P = 0.046), (ii) fewer antegrade (duodenal: 44%vs 83%, AD: 16%vs 83%; P < 0.001) and more retrograde (duodenal: 46%vs 12%, AD: 38%vs 4%; P < 0.001) waves, (iii) shorter wave propagation (duodenal: 4.7 +/- 0.3 vs 6.0 +/- 0.4 cm; AD: 7.7 +/- 0.6 vs 10.9 +/- 0.9 cm; P = 0.004) and (iv) a close correlation between GE with the percentage of propagated phase 3 waves that were antegrade (r = 0.914, P = 0.03) and retrograde (r = -0.95, P = 0.014). In critical illness, the organization of AD pressure waves is abnormal and associated with slow GE. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to elucidate renojejunal reflex controlling the net jejunal fluid, Na+, and Cl- absorption in response to an increased ureteropelvic pressure (UPP) in anesthetized dogs. Unilateral UPP was increased under hydrostatic pressure from 0 to 80 mmHg by a step of 20 mmHg in random order, while the contralateral UPP was maintained at around 0 mmHg. The net absorption of fluid, Na+, and Cl- decreased in proportion to increased UPP. At a UPP of 0 mmHg, the net jejunal fluid, Na+, and Cl- absorption were 11.1 +/- 0.4 ml, 2.48 +/- 0.07, and 1.98 +/- 0.05 mEq, and significantly decreased to 7.38 +/- 0.6 ml, 2.11 +/- 0.15, and 1.68 +/- 0.13 mEq by an increase of UPP to 40 mmHg, respectively. An increase of bilateral UPP up to 40 mmHg or more occlusively depressed the absorption. These responses were blocked by renal denervation and by administration of atropine but not by yohimbine. These results indicate that the increase of UPP decreases jejunal fluid, Na+, and Cl- absorption (renojejunal reflex), and that the afferent and efferent limbs of this reflex are the renal nerves and cholinergic fibers. This renojejunal reflex might play an important role in body fluid homeostasis under the pathological condition. 相似文献

Hypersensitivity to rectal distension is frequently observed in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). However, few data are available about the influence of age on rectal sensory thresholds and tone. The aim of this study was to measure rectal sensory thresholds and tone with a barostat in 12 healthy subjects (aged 86 +/- 4 years, eight females, four males) as compared with 12 young healthy male controls (26 +/- 1 years). Isobaric phasic distensions were performed in the fasted state (increment of 4 mmHg, steps of 5 min, interval of 5 min). Rectal tone changes were then measured as changes in volume of the barostat bag, the pressure being kept constant. After a baseline recording of 1 h, a 1000-kcal meal was served and the tone recorded until return to baseline. Rectal sensory thresholds were significantly higher in aged subjects. First sensation, sensation of urge to defaecate and sensation of pain were triggered at 21.1 +/- 3.2 mmHg, 30.4 +/- 5.4 mmHg and 40.5 +/- 5.0 mmHg, respectively, in aged subjects, vs 13.3 +/- 4.6 mmHg (P < 0.05), 20.7 +/- 1.0 mmHg (P < 0.001) 31.3 +/- 1.7 mmHg (P < 0.001) in controls. Rectal compliance was not significantly different between the two groups. Mean barostat bag volume was 104 +/- 13 mL in fasting aged subjects and 125 +/- 23 mL in controls (NS). After the meal, the barostat bag volume decreased by 69 +/- 11% during 85 +/- 17 min in aged subjects and 75 +/- 14% during 89 +/- 15 min in young controls (NS). Rectal sensory thresholds triggered by distension are increased in aged healthy subjects while compliance and tone are not different. Age should be considered as a confounding factor when studying rectal sensitivity and further studies in aged patients with IBS should include a group of control subjects within the same range of age as studied patients. 相似文献

Abdominal symptoms such as diarrhoea, abdominal cramps and vomiting are common during and after abdominal radiotherapy for gynaecological and pelvic malignancy. It has recently been recognized that small intestinal dysmotility may contribute to these symptoms but the underlying mechanisms are unclear in part because of the technical difficulties inherent in performing studies in irradiated small intestine. The aim of the current study was to evaluate small intestinal motor activity using perfused micromanometric techniques in 6–8-cm segments of ileum during arterial perfusion with isotonic oxygenated fluorocarbon solution. Intestinal segments from six rats were studied 4 days after treatment with 10 Gy abdominal irradiation. Ileal segments from nine nonirradiated animals acted as controls. For each experiment the total number of pressure waves, high-amplitude (>20 mmHg, long-duration >6 sec) pressure waves, and long (>20 associated) bursts of pressure waves were determined. Irradiation had no effect on the overall number of pressure waves, but increased high-amplitude long-duration (HALD) pressure waves (248 vs 7, P < 0.01). In control animals HALD waves were localized to a single recording site but after radiotherapy 74% of HALD waves were temporally associated with similar pressure waves in other manometric channels. Forty-seven per cent of associated HALD waves migrated aborally. Retrograde migration of HALD waves was seen in five segments following irradiation. Irradiation abolished bursts of >20 pressure waves. High-amplitude contractions which migrate aborally are likely to contribute to diarrhoea after abdominal irradiation. The in vitro small animal model of radiation enteritis will permit interventions to provide further insights into the mediation of intestinal dysmotility. 相似文献
