Abstract:
ObjectiveTo establish normative values of esophageal manometry in different age groups and standard test method.Methods The values of esophageal manometry were tested in healthy subjects of 3 different age groups (Group Ⅰ: 18-39 years,Group Ⅱ: 40-59 years,Group Ⅲ:≥60 years) with pneumohydraulic capillary perfusion system.The repeatability and stability of this method in lower esophageal sphincter (LES) testing were observed. Results There were no significant differences of LES length (LESL),LES pressure (LESP) at the end of expiration,average LESP,residual pressure of LES and LES relaxation rate (LESRR) in three groups (P＞0.05).The LESP at the end of inspiration in Group Ⅰ (28.98± 1.11 ) mm Hg was significantly lower than that of Group Ⅲ (34.35±1.96) mm Hg (P＜0.05).Trandiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) in Group Ⅰ (9.55±0.62) mm Hg was significantly lower than that of Group Ⅱ (13.05±0.76) mm Hg (P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in contraction amplitude and duration of proximal and distant esophagus in 3 groups (P＞0.05).UES pressure (UESP) of Group Ⅲ was significantly lower than that of Group Ⅰ and Ⅱ (P＜0.05).As for repeatability,the second recording of LESP in Group Ⅰ and Ⅱ were significantly higher than first recording (P＜0.05).Amplitude of distant esophageal peristaltic contraction (DEPC) of female was significantly higher than of male (P＜0.05).However,there was no significant difference in amplitude of proximal esophageal peristaltic contraction (PEPC)between femal and male (P＞0.05).ConclusionsThe normative values of esophageal manometry in different age groups have been obtained.The dynamic parameters of LES do not change with age.Between age 40 to 59 years old,the contraction of esophageal body is strongest.UESP decreases significantly in old people.If the subjects have enough time to adapt before test,it will help to get accurate and reliable dynamic parameters of LES.
