Abstract:
Objective To investigate the role of motility of Oddi's sphincter in pigment gallbladder stone formation in the model of guinea pigs.Methods Thirty-four general adult male Hartley guinea pigs were divided randomly into two groups.Control group (10 guinea pigs)and pigment stone groups (24 guinea pigs,which were divided into 4 subgroups with 6 guinea pigs each according to the time they were sacrificed),fed with pigment lithogenic diet.After 3,6,9 and 12 weeks later,Oddi's sphincter manometry and myoelectric activity record were obtained by multifunctional physiograph at each stage.Results The incidence of pigment gallstone formation was 0,0,16.7％ and 66.7％ in 3w,6w,9w and 12w group,respectively.The frequency of myoelectric activity decreased apparently in the 3w group(P ＜ 0.05).The amplitude of myoelectric activity had the tendency of decreasing but not statistically significant.The motility frequency of Oddi's sphincter decreased greatly in the 9w group (P ＜ 0.05).The basal pressure of Oddi's sphincter and common bile duct increased markedly in the 12w group [from (25 ± 8) mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa) to (41 ± 12) mmHg and from (22 ± 8) mmHg to (39 ± 12) mmHg,P ＜ 0.05)].Conclusions Pigment lithogenic diet may induce dysfunction of Oddi's sphincter.The disturbance of Oddi's sphincter motility may play a role in pigment gallstone formation.
