Two methods have been used to study lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS) function in gastro-oesophageal reflux disease: the sleeve sensor and the sphinctometer. Our aim was to directly compare the sleeve and sphinctometer in vivo. Ten asymptomatic volunteers were intubated with a perfused assembly incorporating a sleeve sensor, a solid-state assembly incorporating a sphinctometer and a pH probe. LOS function was recorded pre- and post-prandially. During basal periods sleeve and sphinctometer readings correlated well both within and between subjects (r2 = 0.89 (P < 0.0001)). However, the sphinctometer relaxed less during swallows (median 42 (interquartile range 27-55)% vs 73 (62-81)% (P < 0.001)), transient LOS relaxations (TLOSR) (50 (40-70)% vs 94 (88-100)% (P < 0.001)) and reflux episodes (67 (59-75)% vs 97 (91-100)% (P = 0.02)). Using criteria derived from 10 dry swallows, the expected relaxation of the sphinctometer during TLOSR was defined. The sphinctometer had an overall sensitivity ranging from 43 to 71% for the detection of TLOSR with 11-22 false positive relaxations, depending on the criteria employed. Sensitivity was particularly poor in those with low basal LOS pressure. The sphinctometer has a lower capacity to register LOS relaxations than the sleeve sensor, which limits its value in studying the pathophysiology of reflux disease. 相似文献

Background: Salivary bicarbonate and epidermal growth factor (EGF) have an important protective role in the oesophagus. The effect of smoking cessation on these aspects of salivary function is unknown. Methods: Salivary bicarbonate secretion and EGF output were measured before and after attempted smoking cessation in 28 healthy volunteers. Urinary cotinine excretion was used to assess compliance.

Gastro-oesophageal reflux is more common in the right than in the left lateral position but the reasons why are not well understood. We have therefore studied the mechanisms underlying reflux in the lateral decubitus positions in patients with reflux disease. Fifteen patients with symptomatic reflux and excessive oesophageal acid exposure were studied (nine male, age 25-63 years). Each was intubated with a perfused manometric assembly, incorporating a Dent sleeve, and a pH probe. Following a 30-min basal period, a 400-kCal meal was infused into the stomach and patients were studied for 60 min in each lateral position. Following infusion of the meal, lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS) pressure fell and transient LOS relaxation (TLOSR) frequency increased. Acid reflux episodes were more common in the postprandial period (fasting 0 (0-6) h, first postprandial hour 1 (0-9) h, P = 0.0002, second postprandial hour 1 (0-22) h, P = 0.02) and occurred more than twice as often in the right lateral position (right 3 (0-22) h, left 0 (0-10) h, P = 0.01). However, TLOSRs, swallow-related relaxations and low basal LOS pressures were equally common in both lateral positions. In patients with reflux disease, postprandial reflux is twice as common in the right lateral position. This does not relate to differences in gastro-oesophageal junctional pressure, suggesting that other aspects of barrier function or differences in the intragastric distribution of chyme may be important. 相似文献
