Abstract:
Objective To compare and analyze the kinetics changes of lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and esophageal body of achalasia after treated by simple dilation, dilation with botulinum toxin injection and stenting under endoscope. Methods The 99 clinical diagnosed achalasia cases were divide into simple dilation group, dilation with botulinum toxin injection group and stenting group, which were treated with simple dilation, dilation with botulinum toxin injection and stenting respectively. The resting pressure of LES, relaxing ratio, the percentage of concordant and discordant contraction of esophageal body and the contraction range at 10 cm above LES were tested. The variation of each indicator was compared and analyzed before and after the operation. Results Before treatment, the value of the resting pressure of LES, the percentage of discordant contraction,contracting amplitude of esophageal body was higher than normal, while the relaxing ratio of LES and percentage of concordant contraction of esophageal body was lower. There was no significant difference between 3 groups. One week after the treatment, there was no statistic difference in the variation of each indicator compared with pre-operation in 3 groutps. Six months after the treatment, theimprovement of LES resting pressure, relaxing rate and contracting amplitude of esophageal body in dilation with injection group and stenting group were better than those of dilation group (P was 0.041,0.006,0.037and 0. 029,0.004,0.033 respectively). However there was no statistic difference between dilation with injection group and stenting group. Twelve months after treatment, the improvement of LES resting pressure, relaxing ratio, the percentage of concordant contraction and contracting amplitude of esophageal body in stenting group were better than those of dilation group (P was 0.035,0.028, 0. 008, and 0. 007 respectively). However there was no statistic difference between dilation with injection group and simple dilation group. Conclusion Simple dilation, dilation with botulinum toxin injection and stenting are effective methods of achalasia treatment. The effect in near future is significant, while the long-term recurrence is in rising trend as time extension. The effect of stenting is better than the other two methods in the long-term.
