Abstract:
Objective To apply the oral gastrointestinal ultrasound contrast agents for evaluating the gastric motility abnor‐mality in the patients with anxiety disorder .Methods Twenty patients with anxiety disorder complicating upper digestive tract symptoms without organic pathological changes were enrolled as the anxiety disorder group .Twenty healthy volunteers were en‐rolled as the control group in this study .The two groups orally took gastrointestinal ultrasound contrast agents .The antral contrac‐tion frequency ,antral contraction amplitude amd MI were measured at each time point .GER was calculated .The the gastric motility parameters in the patients with anxiety disorder were evaluated .Results The antral contraction frequency and MI at initial 2 min had no statistical difference between the anxiety group and the control group .The antral contraction amplitude ,antral contraction frequency amd MI at each time point during 5 -10 min after contrast in the anxiety disorder group were significantly decreased compared with the control group ,and the differences were statistically significant (P< 0 .05) .After 20 min ,GER in the control group was significantly higher than that in the anxiety group ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05) .Conclusion O‐ral gastrointestinal ultrasound contrast agents is a economic ,strongly operable ,non‐invasive and highly repeatable method for evalu‐ating the gastric motility .
