Segmental colonic transit after oral 67Ga-citrate in healthy subjects and those with chronic idiopathic constipation. (1/712)

Measurement of segmental colonic transit is important in the assessment of patients with severe constipation. 111In-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) has been established as the tracer of choice for these studies, but it is expensive and not readily available. 67Ga-citrate is an inexpensive tracer and when given orally is not absorbed from the bowel. It was compared with 111In-DTPA in colonic transit studies in nonconstipated control subjects and then in patients with idiopathic constipation. METHODS: Studies were performed after oral administration of 3 MBq (81 microCi) 67Ga-citrate or 4 MBq (108 microCi) 111In-DTPA in solution. Serial abdominal images were performed up to 96 h postinjection, and computer data were generated from geometric mean images of segmental retention of tracer, mean activity profiles and a colonic tracer half-clearance time. RESULTS: There were no differences in segmental retention of either tracer or in mean activity profiles between control subjects and constipated patients. Results in constipated subjects were significantly different from those in controls. The mean half-clearance times of tracer for control subjects were 28.8 h for 67Ga-citrate and 29.9 h for 111In-DTPA in control subjects and 75.0 h for 67Ga-citrate and 70.8 h for 111In-DTPA in constipated patients. CONCLUSION: Oral 67Ga-citrate can be used as a safe alternative to 111In-DTPA for accurate measurement of segmental colonic transit.  (+info)

Antinociceptive properties of the new alkaloid, cis-8, 10-di-N-propyllobelidiol hydrochloride dihydrate isolated from Siphocampylus verticillatus: evidence for the mechanism of action. (2/712)

The antinociceptive action of the alkaloid cis-8, 10-di-n-propyllobelidiol hydrochloride dehydrate (DPHD), isolated from Siphocampylus verticillatus, given i.p., p.o., i.t., or i.c.v., was assessed in chemical and thermal models of nociception in mice, such as acetic acid-induced abdominal constriction, formalin- and capsaicin-induced licking, and hot-plate and tail-flick tests. DPHD given by i.p., p.o., i.t., or i.c.v. elicited significant and dose-related antinociception. At the ID50 level, DPHD was about 2- to 39-fold more potent than aspirin and dipyrone, but it was about 14- to 119-fold less potent than morphine. Its analgesic action was reversed by treatment of animals with p-chlorophenylalanine, naloxone, cyprodime, naltrindole, nor-binaltrorphimine, L-arginine, or pertussis toxin. Its action was also modulated by adrenal-gland hormones but was not affected by gamma-aminobutyric acid type A or type B antagonist, bicuculine, or phaclofen, nor was it affected by glibenclamide. DPHD, given daily for up to 7 days, did not develop tolerance to itself nor did it induce cross-tolerance to morphine. However, animals rendered tolerant to morphine presented cross-tolerance to DPHD. The antinociception of DPHD was not secondary to its anti-inflammatory effect, nor was it associated with nonspecific effects such as muscle relaxation or sedation. DPHD, in contrast to morphine, did not decrease charcoal meal transit in mice, nor did it inhibit electrical field stimulation of the guinea pig ileum or mouse vas deferens in vitro. Thus, DPHD produces dose-dependent and pronounced systemic, spinal, and supraspinal antinociception in mice, including against the neurogenic nociception induced by formalin and capsaicin. Its antinociceptive effect involves multiple mechanisms of action, namely interaction with mu, delta, or kappa opioid systems, L-arginine-nitric oxide and serotonin pathways, activation of Gi protein sensitive to pertussis toxin, and modulation by endogenous glucocorticoids.  (+info)

Prolonged large bowel transit increases serum deoxycholic acid: a risk factor for octreotide induced gallstones. (3/712)

BACKGROUND: Treatment of acromegaly with octreotide increases the proportion of deoxycholic acid in, and the cholesterol saturation of, bile and induces the formation of gallstones. Prolongation of intestinal transit has been proposed as the mechanism for the increase in the proportion of deoxycholic acid in bile. AIMS: To study the effects of octreotide on intestinal transit in acromegalic patients during octreotide treatment, and to examine the relation between intestinal transit and bile acid composition in fasting serum. METHODS: Mouth to caecum and large bowel transit times, and the proportion of deoxycholic acid in fasting serum were measured in non-acromegalic controls, acromegalic patients untreated with octreotide, acromegalics on long term octreotide, and patients with simple constipation. Intestinal transit and the proportion of deoxycholic acid were compared in acromegalic patients before and during octreotide. RESULTS: Acromegalics untreated with octreotide had longer mouth to caecum and large bowel transit times than controls. Intestinal transit was further prolonged by chronic octreotide treatment. There were significant linear relations between large bowel transit time and the proportion of deoxycholic acid in the total, conjugated, and unconjugated fractions of fasting serum. CONCLUSIONS: These data support the hypothesis that, by prolonging large bowel transit, octreotide increases the proportion of deoxycholic acid in fasting serum (and, by implication, in bile) and thereby the risk of gallstone formation.  (+info)

Selective stimulation of colonic transit by the benzofuran 5HT4 agonist, prucalopride, in healthy humans. (4/712)

BACKGROUND: Prucalopride (R093877) is a selective and specific 5HT4 agonist, the first of a new chemical class of benzofurans, with gastrointestinal prokinetic activities in vitro. AIMS: To evaluate the effects of prucalopride on gastrointestinal and colonic transit. METHODS: A validated scintigraphic technique was used to measure gastrointestinal and colonic transit over 48 hours in 50 healthy volunteers. For seven days, each subject received a daily dose of 0. 5, 1, 2, or 4 mg prucalopride, or placebo in a double blind, randomised fashion. The transit test was performed over the last 48 hours. RESULTS: There were significant accelerations of overall colonic transit at 4, 8, 24, and 48 hours (p<0.05) and proximal colonic emptying t1/2 (p<0.05). The 0.5, 2, and 4 mg doses of prucalopride were almost equally effective and accelerated colonic transit compared with placebo. Prucalopride did not significantly alter gastric emptying (p>0.5) or small bowel transit (overall p=0. 12). The medication appeared to be well tolerated during the seven day treatment of healthy subjects. CONCLUSION: Prucalopride accelerates colonic transit, partly by stimulating proximal colonic emptying, but does not alter gastric or small bowel transit in healthy human subjects. Prucalopride deserves further study in patients with constipation.  (+info)

Gastric emptying and intestinal transit of pancreatic enzyme supplements in cystic fibrosis. (5/712)

OBJECTIVE: To investigate gastric emptying and intestinal transit of pelleted pancreatin in relation to food boluses. METHODS: Dual isotope scintigraphy combined with breath hydrogen sampling was used to track the concurrent gastric emptying and intestinal transit of 111indium labelled microspheres and a 99mtechnetium labelled tin colloid test meal. Twelve pancreatic insufficient cystic fibrosis patients aged 5 to 38 years performed the study. RESULTS: 50% gastric emptying times showed patient to patient variation. The mean discrepancy in 50% gastric emptying times between the two labels was > 67 minutes. Mean small bowel transit time for the food bolus was prolonged at 3.6 minutes. A significant correlation was seen between weight standard deviation score and 50% emptying time for pancreatin (r = +0.73). CONCLUSION: Gastric mixing of food and pancreatin may be limited by rapid emptying of microspheres. Patients with high dosage requirements could benefit from changing the pattern of their pancreatin supplementation.  (+info)

Randomised controlled trial of trophic feeding and gut motility. (6/712)

OBJECTIVES: To determine the effect of trophic feeding on gastric emptying and whole gut transit time in sick preterm infants. METHODS: A randomised, controlled, prospective study of 70 infants weighing less than 1750 g at birth, who were receiving ventilatory support, was performed. Group TF (33 infants) received trophic feeding from day 3 (0.5 ml/h if birthweight less than 1 kg, 1 ml/h if greater or equal to 1 kg) in addition to parenteral nutrition until ventilatory support finished. Group C (37 infants) received parenteral nutrition alone until ventilatory support finished. Expressed breast milk or a preterm formula were given according to maternal preference. Gastric emptying was assessed within 24 hours of nutritive milk feeding equal to 90 ml/kg/day, using ultrasound scans to measure the reduction in the gastric antral cross sectional area after a feed. Whole gut motility was assessed at both 3 and 6 weeks of age by measuring the whole gut transit time (WGTT) of the marker carmine red. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between groups in their gastric half emptying time, median difference (95% confidence interval) 2.6 (-5.9, 13.9) minutes. The WGTT was significantly faster (p < 0.05) in group TF at both 3 and 6 weeks; median difference -13 (-47, -0.1) and -12.5 (-44, -0.5) hours, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Trophic feeding enhances whole gut motility but not gastric emptying. This effect could subsequently improve milk tolerance in sick preterm infants.  (+info)

Visual parameters define the phase and the load of contractions in isolated guinea pig ileum. (7/712)

How the movements of the intestinal walls relate to luminal pressures and outflow remains incompletely understood. We triggered the peristaltic reflex in the isolated ileum of the guinea pig and quantified wall movements through computerized measurements of diameter changes. Contractions developed as indentations close to the upstream end of the loop. The indentations deepened and expanded in length. The downstream shoulder of contractions started and stopped to propagate before the upstream shoulder. Shoulders differed in their length and gradient over most of the duration of the contraction, and this gives the contraction an axial asymmetry. Over the course of individual contractions, the length of the indented segment correlated well with the luminal pressure. Contractions in response to large volumes generated long indented segments and high luminal pressures. The onset and the end of pressure waves and of outflow did not necessarily coincide with the onset and end of visual parameters of contractions. These findings indicate that objective visual parameters might be useful to describe and to classify contractions.  (+info)

Modeling intermittent digesta flow to calculate glucose uptake capacity of the bovine small intestine. (8/712)

To test the hypothesis that the uptake capacity of the bovine small intestine for glucose is upregulated to match or slightly exceed glucose delivery, glucose was continuously infused into the proximal duodenum of four cannulated holstein heifers. Every 3 days, infusion rates were increased by an average of 34 mmol/h. A model of glucose disappearance from multiple boluses of intestinal digesta was used to estimate the transporter maximum velocity and functional maximum uptake capacity for the entire small intestine from average ileal glucose flows during the third day of each period. Because of its intermittency, digesta flow remained independent of simulated transit time. For each unit increase in glucose infusion rate, uptake capacity increased by only 0.55 units. Excess capacity for glucose uptake was approximately twofold in forage-fed cattle and declined to below delivery at infusions of >208 mmol/h added glucose, approximately three times the normal load. Calculations for cattle, sheep, and rats indicate that the glucose transport capacity of the small intestine is typically underutilized because of a fraction of time that transporters are not in contact with digesta.  (+info)

The primary aim of this study is to assess the equivalence of SP to ROM through characterization of device agreement using SP cutoffs for colonic and whole gut transit (59hrs and 73 hrs respectively) derived from the above mentioned study. The cutoffs are derived from the 95th percentile of the healthy subjects in the study. Demonstration of agreement will also serve to validate these SP cutoffs. Device agreement will be evaluated by comparing the percentage of subjects identified with slow transit versus normal transit with SmartPill to the percentage of subjects identified with slow versus normal transit with ROM in the study population. The colonic transit time results will serve as the primary measure for slow versus normal transit for SmartPill. For ROM test we will employ the Metcalf protocol which provides a measure of whole gut transit to compare the SmartPill results to. Additionally, we will characterize gastric emptying and small bowel transit time of the SmartPill in this population. ...
The effect of chilli powder and its pungent ingredient capsaicin on gastrointestinal transit in the rat was studied. Fasted unanaesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 144) received by gavage a test meal containing charcoal and cellulose in water or capsaicin solvent plus 51Cr as a radioactive marker. Either 100 or 200 mg of chilli powder (containing 0.13 and 0.26 mg of capsaicin, respectively) or 0.5 or 1 mg of capsaicin were added, the final volume of each meal being 1.5 mL. At 10 and 20 min, animals were killed and the amount of isotope that had left the stomach was measured, together with the distance the charcoal column had travelled along the small intestine. Compared to controls, animals given chilli powder emptied less of their gastric content at 10 and 20 min, an effect partly reproduced by capsaicin. However overall gastric-small intestinal transit was unaffected by chilli powder or capsaicin. Another 12 male Sprague-Dawley rats received, under light ether anaesthesia, on six ...
Looking for bowel transit time? Find out information about bowel transit time. sequential arrangement of all events, or the interval between two events in such a sequence. The concept of time may be discussed on several different... Explanation of bowel transit time
A bowel transit time test measures how long it takes for food to travel through the digestive tract. After you chew and swallow your food, it moves into your stomach, where it is mixed with acid and digestive enzymes. After your food leaves your stomach, it is squeezed through your small intestine, where nutrients are absorbed for use by your body. The food then goes into your large intestine (colon) where water is absorbed. Whatever hasnt been digested and absorbed by your intestines combines with bacteria and other waste products and becomes stool (feces). Stool is expelled from your body through your anus. The time it takes for food to travel from your mouth through your digestive tract to your anus is your bowel transit time. Sometimes, just the time it takes for food to travel through the colon is measured. This is called the colonic transit time.. Bowel transit time depends on what types of food you eat and how much you drink. For example, people who eat lots of fruits, vegetables, and ...
Objective methods for examination of pouch function are warranted for a better understanding of the functional result and treatment of dysfunction. The objective of this study was to evaluate the results of scintigraphic intestinal transit time and defaecography compared to the results of pouch function, mucosal condition and a questionnaire on quality of life (QoL). This cross-sectional study included 21 patients. Scintigraphic transit time and defaecography was determined with the use of Tc-99m. Pouch function was assessed by number of bowel movements, pouch volume, and continence. Pouch mucosal condition was evaluated by endoscopy and histology. Median transit time was 189 min (105-365). Median ejection fraction at defaecography (EF) was 49% (3-77) and 62% (17-98) after first and second defecation. Median pouch volume was 223 mL (100-360). A median daily stool frequency of nine (4-25) was reported and three (14%) patients suffered from daytime incontinence. No patients had symptomatic or endoscopic
The effect of an infusion of two doses of peptide YY (PYY), a novel putative gastrointestinal hormone, has been assessed on mouth to caecum intestinal transit time and on the rate of gastric emptying after ingestion of an inert 200 ml liquid meal thought unlikely to interrupt fasting gastrointestinal motility patterns. A low dose of PYY was chosen to give plasma concentrations within the range seen postprandially in healthy subjects, while the high dose mimicked the raised levels seen in several malabsorptive conditions. During infusion of PYY at 0.18 pmol/kg/min plasma concentrations rose from a basal of 8 +/- 2 pmol/l to 38 +/- 5 pmol/l and at 0.51 pmol/kg/min to 87 +/- 10 pmol/l. Mouth to caecum transit time was delayed from 67 +/- 4 mins on the saline infusion day to 94 +/- 7 mins (p less than 0.01) on the low dose and 192 +/- 9 mins (p less than 0.001) on the high dose infusion day. Time to 50% gastric emptying was prolonged from 37 +/- 8 mins during saline infusion to 63 +/- 10 mins (p ...
F-004-009 The SDEIS states that Since transit routes are designed to serve trips to downtown, while the tunnel is designed to serve trips through downtown, the impact of tolls on transit is negligible (p. 215). This is simplistic and inaccurate. First, much transit does indeed serve trips through downtown both by design and necessity, sometimes directly and sometimes through connections. Second, the extent tolling affects the ability of transit to operate effectively - that is, if tolling affects access, reliability or travel time - it obviously affects ridership.. ….. The SDEIS finds the impact of tolling on transit ridership to be negligible (p.215). However, FTA believes the assessment of the effectiveness of priority treatments to be optimistic. More realistic is the depiction of dramatically increased travel time on Second and Fourth Avenues (Exh. 9-15)… The Project should be ensuring that even the most conservative assumptions show increasing transit use and only minimally ...

I convinced my parents to use the SkyTrain to get to the airport on our trip last fall instead of driving and then having to leave the car in an airport lot for three weeks. And all four of us had suitcases to lug, first on the 156 bus, then the Millennium Line, and then the Canada Line. The Canada Line was a breeze, but they took up a fair amount of space on the M-Line. And on the bus, no one could get them up the aisle so we had to sit in the front section thats supposed to be for passengers whore either physically disabled or really old. (I was a little embarrassed about taking up that space. Luckily no one showed up who needed it more than we did.). Thats the only really ENORMOUS thing Ive taken on transit, but I -have- carted around two 12-packs of Dr. Pepper on one occasion and a new-in-box Xbox 360 on another.

Watherian indica is a dicotyledonous shrub used in the treatment of diarrhoea in Northern Nigeria. It consists of a well-defined mixture of flavonoids, saponins, sugars, alkaloids and mucilage. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments of the aqueous extract were done. The study to determine the in vivo effect of aqueous root extract of the shrub was on the gastrointestinal transit in conscious rats. In the in vivo experiment, fasted rats were given 20, 40, 60 and 80 mg/kg of the extract orally and 15 minutes later, 0.5ml of 10% charcoal (BaSO4. H2O) was administered into the conscious animals. The control group received the vehicle (normal saline) before charcoal meal. In the in vitro experiment, the effect of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8mg/ml of the extract on the frequency and strength of contraction of an isolated rabbit jejunum was determined using a multi-channel physiograph (model PMP-4B). The result of the study indicates that Watherian indica root extract delays the gastrointestinal transit and ...
The benefits of strength training are numerous; from helping to prevent illnesses and diseases to better posture and balance, better sleep and the reduction in stress and anxiety.Improved musculoskeletal systemStrength training has profound effects on the musculoskeletal system, as it helps maintain functional abilities and prevents osteoporosis, sarcopenia, lower-back pain and other disabilities.Positively affects health risk factorsSensible strength training involves precise controlled movements for each major muscle group and does not require the use of heavy loads. Research shows that strength training may positively affect risk factors such as insulin resistance, resting metabolic rate, glucose metabolism, blood pressure, body fat and gastrointestinal transit time, which are associated with diabetes, heart disease and cancer. And all the benefits of strength training are likely to be obtained in two 15 to 20 minute training sessions a week.Other benefits of strength training:Enhances performance of

To see how bad decisions can be, look at California, a state which once led in economically critical infrastructure but now striving to present the worst possible example. Over the past two decades, California has become among the states least committed to new infrastructure, despite absurdly high tax levels. And when the spigot has been turned on, its been largely to socially engineer people from roads, which provide nearly all trips, to transit.. The losers here are Californians, with massive spending on transit rail rejects people cannot use, while the roads they depend on are among the nations worst. Less than 2 percent of the states motorized travel is on transit and ridership is declining. Worse, transit provides little mobility compared to cars. In the largest California metropolitan areas, the average worker can reach 65 times as many jobs by car as by transit in 30 minutes, even with our traffic congestion. No wonder that poorer people in Los Angeles are increasingly buying their own ...

N2 - Defining the catchment transit time distribution remains a challenge. Here, we used a new semi analytical physically-based integrated subsurface flow and advective dispersive particle movement model to assess the subsurface controls on subsurface water flow paths and transit time distributions. First, we tested the efficacy of the new model for ...
A stacked patch antenna has a first element having a feed thereto spaced above a ground plane and one or more spaced apart parasitic elements spaced above the first element. The first and parasitic elements may be tuned to a fundamental mode for radiation of a specified frequency. The geometric centers of the parasitic elements are offset from one another and from the geometric center of the first element along the same direction. The stacked patch configuration provides increased gain and bandwidth. The offset configuration determines the direction of maximum gain for the antenna. The first and parasitic elements can be single antenna elements and may be microstrip antenna elements. The elements can also be arrays of microstrip antenna elements. The phasing of the arrays of microstrip elements can be controlled to determine a gain sensitivity direction.
If youve read about me in any way, youll likely know about my issue with the Surrey at-grade rail (Light Rail Transit) proposal. It was the turnkey issue that became responsible for dragging me into a world of politics. As a stakeholder, it motivated me to educate myself as best as I could about issues in the community, and is the reason why I pay attention.. My problem with Light Rail? As much as everyone seems to like the option - especially over a SkyTrain expansion - and as much as it DOES work well in many locations around the world, the reality of Light Rail in Surrey is that it wont help us achieve ambitious goals (rather restricting us from getting to them ever); wont move our people the most efficiently; and wont give us the most benefits for the cost.. These arent wild claims; these are facts and stats that have been made clear in numerous studies, including TransLinks Surrey Rapid Transit Study. So far, people across the city of Surrey - from stakeholders to big advocacy ...

The hybrid delivery model - or integrator model as we refer to it at MV Transportation - is a viable alternative to dedicated fleet deployment against todays transit needs. The hybrid delivery model can help transit agencies do more with less, effectively allowing them to shutter portions of their service that may be less cost effective or less efficient for their ridership, and replace them with more flexible on-demand types of services.. When properly implemented, this model can also help agencies and communities increase transit equity when deployed to underserved areas. As transit seeks to connect people with jobs and city services, hybrid solutions can promote economic growth or access to critical services that didnt exist before, even while reducing costs. Ultimately, the hybrid model can help cities attract additional transit ridership along with increasing efficiency of operations.. However, its essential to remember that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to implementing a ...

Cancer thrives on sugar. Regular exercise reduces your insulin levels, which creates a low sugar environment that discourages the growth and spread of cancer cells. Controlling your insulin levels is one of the most powerful steps you can take to reduce your cancer risk. Physically active adults experience about half the incidence of colon cancer as their sedentary counterparts. Exercise has a beneficial influence on insulin, prostaglandins and bile acids, all of which are thought to encourage the growth and spread of cancer cells in your colon. Exercise also improves bowel transit time, which means your body s waste is spending less time in contact with the mucosal lining of your colon. As the Wall Street Journal article points out, women who exercise regularly can reduce their breast cancer risk by 20 to 30 percent over their inactive counterparts. This is likely due to a lowering of estrogen levels. The article cites a study in which women being treated for breast cancer were 50 percent less ...

The gut microbiota of humans and other animals comprises more than a thousand microorganisms (Cho and Blaser, 2012; Lakshminarayanan et al., 2014). Most of these microbes reside in the ileum and colon. Their primary function is to ferment carbohydrates and proteins that are not digested in the upper gut into absorbable energy. Other functions of these bacteria include producing vitamins (B and K), protecting against pathogens, mediating innate and adaptive immune responses, and metabolizing orally administered natural products and drugs.. The composition of the gut microbiota, as well as the residence of specific bacterial species, is affected by pH, diet, the use of antibiotics, the presence of digestive enzymes, and the redox potential of the tissue and gut transit time (Oktyabrsky and Smirnova, 1989; Nord, 1990; Aguilera et al., 2013; Xu et al., 2014a). Conditions are extremely variable in the gastrointestinal tract, mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. ...

Beginning with the 2011 Happy Valley Park-and-Ride, at I-17 and Happy Valley Road, Lucking designed the waterjet-cut patterns of the shade panels to illustrate cars, bicycles, and buses traveling the curving mountain roads of north Phoenix. She also worked with the design team to integrate custom fencing, free-standing screens, and scored concrete into the transit campus. For the second in the Shade for Transit series, the 27th Avenue and Baseline Road Park-and-Ride, Lucking drew upon the ranching history of Laveen, depicting cowboys waiting along a fence - like other transit riders - for the bus to arrive. For the latest in the series of park-and-rides, at 24th Street and Baseline Road, Lucking created images inspired by the agricultural history of the Japanese flower gardens that once lined Baseline Road ...
