Objective To compare the effects of tibolone and cisapride on gastrointestinal motility in menopausal patients with functional dyspepsia (MPFD).Methods Fifty-three MPFD and 31 MPFD complicated with bile reflux were divided into 3 groups randomly.They were treated with tibolone,cisapride and both drugs for 4 weeks,respectively.The gastric emptying,serum motilin and intragastric bile were measured before and after the treatment.Results The 30-min gastric emptying rates of all groups were significantly improved (P

Objective To detect the gastric motility in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and to explore the relationship between disorder of gastric motility in diabetes and the influential factors. Methods Sixty-five patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 30 health control subjects were collected. The gastric motility was tested with the signal processing device designed by Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications. The impedance and electrical signals were collected at the same time. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) was detected by oxidation enzyme method, while microcolumn method was adopted to test HbA1c. Results In the 65 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus,the occurrence of abnormal gastric motility was 53.85% , they had several symptoms, such as abdominal distension, early satiety, and belching. The percentage of dominant frequency of impedance gastrogram in diabetes group was lower than that in the normal controls (P<0. 05 ). The percentage of dominant frequency of EGG in the abnormal HbA1c group( ≥6. 5% ) was significantly lower than that in the normal HbA1c group ( P<0. 01). The percentage of bradygastria in the elderly was higher than that in young and middle-aged subjects (P<0. 05), respectively. Disorder of gastric motility was not correlated with FBG and course of disease. Conclusions The incidence of disordered gastric motility is very high in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Elderly patients and those with higher HbA1c are prone to suffer from disordered gastric motility. However, disorder in gastric motility is not correlated with FBG and duration of the illness.

Aim To investigate the effects of dual COX-2/5-LOX inhibitor darbufelone on the inhibition of gastric adenocarcinoma in vitro.Methods MTT assay was used to detect the inhibition of gastric adenocarcinoma cell line SGC-7901 by darbufelone in different concentrations and at different times.TUNEL staining was used to evaluate the apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells.The changes of 5-LOX and COX-2 mRNA expression were studied by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.5-LOX and COX-2 protein expressions were analyzed by immunocytochemistry in SGC-7901 cells.Results darbufelone could decrease the proliferation significantly in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner in SGC-7901 cells.After treating SGC-7901 with darbufelone at concentration of 1.5?10-5,1.0?10-5,5?10-6 mol?L-1 for 72 hs,apoptosis index(%) of SGC-7901 was(30.3?2.1)%,(23.0?2.0)%,(15.0?1.5)%,respectively,which was significantly higher than(0.6?0.1)% that in control group(P

Objective In order to investigate the comlex course of electricity and mechanism of erosive gastritis(EG) and its relative factors,and to extract gastric motility feature indexes.Methods 30 volunteers of erosive gastritis were selected.The signal processing device was designed by Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications.By the means of spectrum analysis technic,the signals could be classified according to the dominant power and dominant frequency.Some indexes such as frequency of EGG and IGM,signal power spectrum and dynamic spectrum,the rates of rhythm and power for the normal EGG and IGM and so on could also be calculated.Results The power ratio in 2~4 cpm was 59.2?4.4,the frequency ratio was 70.4?25.5,the frequency instability coefficient was 0.182?0.059,and the power instability coefficient was 1.576?0.481.The parameters changed signifcantly between health adult and patient(P0.05).Conclusion The results of the experiments show that the method based on the synchronous measurement of EGG and IGM can provide a non-invasive way to investigate and evaluate erosive gastritis corresponding to gastrointestinal physiology and pathology conditions.
