TY - JOUR. T1 - Long-term effects of jejunoileal autotransplantation on myoelectrical activity in canine small intestine. AU - Quigley, Eamonn M M. AU - Spanta, Ali D.. AU - Rose, Scott G.. AU - Lof, John. AU - Thompson, Jon S. PY - 1990/12/1. Y1 - 1990/12/1. N2 - We studied the longitudinal effects of autotransplantation on the motor function of the jejunoileum. By performing the autotransplantation procedure in a manner similar to that employed for allotransplantation, we sought to examine the long-term effects of both extrinsic denervation and the operative procedure itself on small intestinal motor function. Although initially disrupted, interdigestive myoelectrical activity demonstrated progressive organization: 88% of migrating myoelectrical complexes in animals studied between 12 and 20 months following autotransplantation demonstrated each phase of the complex in normal sequence. Longitudinal studies of several parameters of myoelectrical activity provided further evidence of progressive ...

Control of slow wave frequency in cat small intestinal muscle was investigated with microelectrodes. Exposure of intact muscle or isolated longitudinal muscle to low Ca(2+) saline decreased slow wave frequency with less than a 6 mV change in resting potential. This frequency decline was characterized by a prolongation of the diastolic phase of the slow wave. Raising Ca(,0)(2+) to 2-3 times normal increased slow wave frequency. At Ca(,0)(2+) greater than 4 times normal, the slow wave frequency again decreased. However, this decrease in frequency was characterized by a prolongation of the systolic phase of the waveform. Application of Ca conductance blockers (Co(2+), Mn(2+), D600, verapamil), increasing Mg(,0)(2+) or increasing internal pH decreased slow wave frequency by a prolongation of the diastolic region of the slow wave. Addition of db-cAMP to Krebs saline made hypertonic with sucrose or decreasing internal pH increased slow wave frequency. These results indicate a relationship ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Gastrointestinal Dysfunction in Parkinsons Disease. AU - Pfeiffer, Ronald. PY - 2018/12/1. Y1 - 2018/12/1. N2 - Purpose of review: During the past 25 years, there has been an explosion of information regarding the occurrence of gastrointestinal dysfunction in Parkinsons disease. In this review, the clinical features of gastrointestinal dysfunction in Parkinsons disease will be described and information regarding the potential role of the enteric nervous system and the gut microbiome in the genesis of Parkinsons disease will be addressed. Recent findings: Recognition is growing regarding the role that gastroparesis and small intestinal dysfunction may play in Parkinsons disease, especially with regard to erratic responses to anti-Parkinson medication. The presence of enteric nervous system involvement in Parkinsons disease is now well established, but whether the enteric nervous system is the starting point for Parkinsons disease pathology remains a source of debate. The ...

Identification of Intestinal Motility Events of Capsule Endoscopy Video Analysis - Abstract. Purpose: To develop a system for assisting the analysis of capsuleendoscopy (CE) video data and identifying sequences of frames related to small intestine motility. Material and Methods: Six videos were analyzed and labelled manually by an expert, indicating the events of contractions. For addressing the imbalanced recognition task of small intestinal contractions we employed an efficient two-level video analysis system. At the first level of the system, each video was processed resulting in a number of possible sequences of contractions. In the second operating part of the system, the final recognition of contractions sequences was carried out by means of a SVM classification algorithm. To encode the patterns of intestinal motility a panel of textural and morphological features of the intestine lumer were extracted. Results: The system exhibited an overall sensitivity of 73.53% in correct detecting events of

Lang et al. (l986) examined the gastrointestinal motor correlates of vomiting in canines by means of implanted extramural strain gauge transducers. One of the motor responses was a retrograde peristaltic contraction commencing in the middle of the small intestine and moving in an orad direction through the small intestine to the gastric antrum. Ejection did not occur after a consistent delay following the antral retrograde peristaltic contraction, i.e. there was no evidence that the antral contraction correlated with vomitus ejection. This was consistent with previous findings that the stomach did not provide the propulsive force for vomitus ejection; it was more likely that the propulsive force was provided by contractions of the abdominal or respiratory muscles. The small intestinal retrograde peristaltic contraction, leading to gastric antral contractions, was probably mediated peripherally by muscarinic cholinergic receptors as it was selectively blocked by atropine (which does not ...

Cell therapy has the potential to treat gastrointestinal motility disorders caused by diseases of the enteric nervous system. Many studies have demonstrated that various stem/progenitor cells can give rise to functional neurons in the embryonic gut; however, it is not yet known whether transplanted neural progenitor cells can migrate, proliferate, and generate functional neurons in the postnatal bowel in vivo. We transplanted neurospheres generated from fetal and postnatal intestinal neural crest-derived cells into the colon of postnatal mice. The neurosphere-derived cells migrated, proliferated, and generated neurons and glial cells that formed ganglion-like clusters within the recipient colon. Graft-derived neurons exhibited morphological, neurochemical, and electrophysiological characteristics similar to those of enteric neurons; they received synaptic inputs; and their neurites projected to muscle layers and the enteric ganglia of the recipient mice. These findings show that transplanted ...

Hyperglycemia attenuates the stimulation of antral pressures and propagated antral sequences by erythromycin, but not the effects of erythromycin on pyloric or duodenal motility.

As relatively little is known of human colonic motor activity either in health, or in pathological conditions, we investigated mass movements in 14 chronically constipated patients and 18 healthy volunteers. Mass movements were recorded from proximal and distal colon during 24 h (12 noon-12 noon) by a colonoscopically positioned multilumen manometric probe and low compliance infusion system. Patients and controls differed significantly in the number (mean 2.6 (0.7) v 6.1 (0.9) (SE), p = 0.02) and duration (mean 8.2 (1.6) v 14.1 (0.8) s, p = 0.04) of mass movements. The data suggest that one pathophysiological mechanism of constipation may be decreased propulsive activity. A circadian pattern, with a significant difference between day and night distribution, was documented in both groups. The patients reported decreased defecatory stimulus concomitant with the mass movements.

The Road to Recovery: If it Aint Completely Broke, Dont Fix it. It is absolutely essential that the caretaker faced with a rabbit in GI stasis be patient, allowing the treatments and medications to work. Rabbits are easily stressed, and excessive handling should be avoided. It may take several days before any fecal pellets are seen, and it may take two weeks or more on intestinal motility agents and therapy before the intestine is moving normally again. We have had one case in which a rabbit produced no fecal pellets for 14 days, but finally did respond to gentle,consistent administration of the above treatment regimen. Patience and persistence are key! Do not make more trips to the veterinarians office with the rabbit than absolutely necessary. Increased stress will only slow recovery. Whenever possible, administer medications at home, where the rabbit feels safe and secure. Every bunny parent should have a stethoscope (not necessarily an expensive one) to monitor intestinal sounds. The ...

We have shown the existence of a vagal pathway that participates in erythromycin prokinetic effects. This pathway primarily modulates the motility and resistance of the pylorus.. The most important result of our study was that the increased gastric emptying rate induced by erythromycin was suppressed by vagal cooling. This demonstrates that vagal pathways are essential for gastrokinetic activity induced by erythromycin. This result does not intrinsically contradict former studies in humans and dogs (6a, 15, 27, 32), although we reached a different conclusion. In previous studies, we also found that vagal section does not drastically modify erythromycin-induced increases in antral and duodenal motility. A decreased emptying rate was not observable in vagotomized patients with drainage because in these patients the pyloric area has been removed or made not functional.. Our results must be interpreted with the knowledge that the regulatory mechanisms may be altered by the experimental conditions. ...

Functional GI and motility disorders in children refer to a wide variety of digestive conditions that occur from birth to 18 years old.. A functional GI disorder refers to a condition where the primary abnormality is an alteration in the way the body works (altered function), rather than an identifiable structural or biochemical cause.. Gastrointestinal motility is defined by the movements of the digestive system, and the transit of the contents within it. When nerves or muscles in any portion of the digestive tract do not function normally, symptoms may result. While GI motility can be measured using tests, abnormal patterns do not always cause symptoms. When symptoms are present motility tests provide information to help with diagnosis and treatment.. ...

A manometric method was developed to study the motor activity in the unprepared human colon, and the results in eight healthy subjects were compared with those obtained in the same subjects after bowel cleansing with a non-absorbable solution containing polyethylene glycol 4000 (PEG). A tube assembly (4.5 m long, 12 lumen) was introduced through the nose and passed through the gastrointestinal tract. Two manometric recordings were performed one month apart, one without any preparation and the other after bowel cleansing with PEG. There was no obvious qualitative difference between the recordings performed in the uncleansed and PEG cleansed colon. Moreover, in the unprepared colon motility indices were close to those measured in the cleansed colon. The number of high amplitude propagated contractions (mean (SEM)) was, however, higher in the cleansed colon (8.6 (2.8) v 5.4 (1.8)/subject/9 h in the unprepared colon; p , 0.04). It is concluded that in healthy subjects taking a regular diet, motor ...

Sepsis often accompanies gastrointestinal motility disorder that contributes to the development of sepsis in turn. Propofol and dexmedetomidine, as widely used sedatives in patients with sepsis, are likely to depress gastrointestinal peristalsis. We queried whether propofol or dexmedetomidine, at sedative doses, aggravated sepsis-induced ileus. Sedative/Anesthetic Scores and vital signs of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endotoxemic mice were measured during sedation with propofol or dexmedetomidine. Endotoxemic mice were divided into 10% fat emulsion, propofol, saline, and dexmedetomidine group. The gastric emptying, small intestinal transit, tests of colonic motility, gastrointestinal transit and whole gut transit were evaluated at 15 mins and 24 h after intraperitoneal injection of sedatives/vehicles respectively. 40 mg·kg− 1propofol and 80 μg·kg− 1 dexmedetomidine induced a similar depth of sedation with comparable vital signs except that dexmedetomidine strikingly decreased heart rate in

The prokinetic effects of GC7101 were tested using the charcoal transit assay from the pylorus to the most distal point of migration of charcoal mixture. To clarify the mechanism of action of GC7101, atropine, dopamine and the selective 5-hydroxytryptamine 4 receptor ...

Twenty six patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus underwent a gastric emptying test, a gall bladder contraction test, an orocaecal transit study, and a colon transit test. Eleven patients had signs of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy, 15 patients were without signs of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy. Mean gastric clearance of radioopaque markers ingested with a meal averaged 29.5 (2.3) markers per six hours in subjects without cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy compared with 17.8 (2.3) markers per six hours in patients with cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (p , 0.02). Gall bladder emptying in response to graded CCK8 stimulation was impaired in five of 11 patients with cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy, whereas it was normal in the patients without cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (p , 0.01). Oral caecal transit times were not significantly different in the two patient groups, whereas colonic transit was slower in the patients with cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy ...

The interactions between the composition of the microbiota and gut motility are bidirectional, which indicates that the microbiota play an important role in gut motor function and the gut motor function affects the diversity of microflora in the gastrointestinal tract [6]. Here, we found that the depletion of microbiota by antibiotics treatments was associated with gut motility, and its relationship might be related to 5-HT biosynthesis in the colon. And we also found that metabolism of bile acids was affected in antibiotic-treated mice, and the secondary bile acids was decreased in our study which has been demonstrated to be associated with 5-HT metabolism and gastrointestinal motility [13].. Several studies have focus on the interaction between the normal gut microbiota and gut motility. The dysfunction of gut motility has been considered to be one of the main pathophysiology in STC [31]. Recent years, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has become a new therapy for functional ...

The effects of the nitric oxide donor nitroglycerin on gastric emptying and antropyloroduodenal motility were evaluated in nine healthy male subjects (ages 19-36 yr). Antropyloroduodenal pressures were recorded with a manometric assembly that had nine side holes spanning the antrum and proximal duodenum and a pyloric sleeve sensor; gastric emptying was quantified scintigraphically. In each subject, the emptying of 300 ml of 25% glucose labeled with 99mTc was assessed on two separate days during intravenous infusion of either nitroglycerin (5 micrograms/min in 5% dextrose) or 5% dextrose (control). Studies were performed with the subject in the supine position; blood pressure and heart rate were monitored. Nitroglycerin had no significant effect on blood pressure or heart rate. Nitroglycerin slowed gastric emptying (P , 0.02), and this was associated with greater retention of the drink in the proximal stomach (P , 0.05). In both nitroglycerin and control studies, ingestion of the drink was ...

Intestinal inflammation is associated with dysfunction from the mucosal barrier, which can occur in intestinal bowel diseases, allergic diarrhea, and infectious enteritis, or conditions that affect muscularis or outer layers of the bowel wall, such as peritonitis and postoperative ileus. In the latter case, intestinal muscularis macrophages play an important role in inducing intestinal dysmotility during inflammation by producing PGs and NO (7, 20, 40, 41, 50). However, the roles of PGs in iNOS induction and the subsequent intestinal dysmotility are not well understood. In the present study, we demonstrate that PGE2 produced due to LPS stimulation activates the muscularis resident macrophages via EP2 and EP4 receptors to express the iNOS gene, which, in turn, induces intestinal dysmotility via the production of NO. PGE2 induces iNOS gene expression through the cAMP/PKA/MAPK signal transduction pathways in the intestinal muscularis macrophages.. Intestinal muscularis macrophages play an important ...

There is both morphological and functional evidence that capsaicin-sensitive sensory neurons innervate the digestive tract. The possible function of these neurons in gastric ulceration and gastrointestinal motility was investigated in rats which had been systemically pretreated with capsaicin (50-125 mg/kg). It was found that capsaicin-sensitive afferent neurons do not participate in the physiologic control of gastrointestinal propulsion. However, the inhibition of gastrointestinal transit due to surgical trauma or peritoneal irritation with iodine was reduced in capsaicin-treated rats. It was concluded that capsaicin-sensitive sensory neurons may be involved in sympathetic reflex inhibition of gastrointestinal propulsion. Gastric ulceration induced by the intraperitoneal injection of indomethacin or intragastric administration of ethanol was greatly aggravated in capsaicin-treated rats. Since an involvement of the autonomic nervous system as well as of histamine and prostaglandins in this effect of

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 hormone prolactin stimulates lactation (production of breast milk). Dopamine, released by the hypothalamus stops the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland. Domperidone, by acting as an anti-dopaminergic agent, results in increased prolactin secretion, and thus promotes lactation (that is, it is a galactogogue). In some nations, including Australia, domperidone is used off-label, based on uncertain and anecdotal evidence of its usefulness, as a therapy for mothers who are having difficulty breastfeeding.[24][25] In the United States, domperidone is not approved for this or any other use.[26][27] A study called the EMPOWER trial was designed to assess the effectiveness and safety of domperidone in assisting mothers of preterm babies to supply breast milk for their infants.[28] The study randomized 90 mothers of preterm babies to receive either domperidone 10 mg orally three times daily for 28 days (Group A) or placebo 10 mg orally three times daily for 14 days followed by domperidone ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Some of the most intractable gastrointestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease, are motility disorders, where the contents of the intestines dont proceed normally through the GI tract. Such disorders are known to have a strong brain-microbiome connection, but preclinical research has typically been limited to in vitro studies or anesthetized animal models, neither of which provide a realistic picture of gut motility.. Now, University at Buffalo researchers may have solved that problem with a technique called transillumination intestine projection (TIP) imaging, which they described in a recent Nature Communications paper. For the first time, this technique reveals how food moves through the gut in free-moving animals in real time.. The new method makes use of Raspberry Pi technology, the credit card-sized computer now ubiquitous in applications ranging from education to digital media to research.. For the first time, TIP allows us to ...

Doxofylline is a new xanthine derivative with significant bronchodilatatory activity. We have studied in HPLC the distribution of doxofylline in various areas of rat brain (cortex, cerebellum, limbic system) and its activity on the central nervous system by using a spontaneous motility test comparing it with aminophylline administered orally in equimolar doses (4.7 - 9.4 - 19 x 10(-5) mol/kg). Doxofylline is absorbed 3 or 4 times less than aminophylline at the same doses. Nevertheless, the quantity of doxofylline that goes to the brain is equivalent to that absorbed, whereas the quantity of aminophylline is about one-third. This is due to the greater liposolubility of doxofylline in comparison to aminophylline. In spite of the fact that doxofylline is easily distributed in the brain, spontaneous motility in animals is not modified, whereas aminophylline increases this activity significantly. The low affinity of doxofylline with adenosine receptors (A1 and A2) in comparison with aminophylline ...

The results of our meta-analysis have indicated gum chewing after caesarean section can significantly promote the intestinal function recovery by accelerating the time to first passage of flatus, first defecation, first bowel sound, first bowel movement and shortening the length of hospital stay. The gum-chewing groups faster recovery of gastrointestinal tract motility may result from stimulating intestinal motility by strengthening the cephalic-vagal reflex and increasing the gastrointestinal hormones secretion associated with bowel motility [9]. However, we did not find benefits of gum chewing on the time to first feeling of hunger, one possible explanation is that the chewing movement cause a feeding feedback to the brain, making a full feeling for our central nerve systems, additionally, the early feeding program employed in some studies can further enhance the hunger stimulus, previous study [10] has concluded that sham feeding confers no advantage if patients are placed on a rapid ...

The emphasis in therapy depends on the needs of the patient. The particular need might include amblyopia, strabismus, accommodative and vergence disorders, ocular motility dysfunction (i.e. saccadic control), developmental visual information processing disorders, acquired visual information processing disorders, sports vision, and myopia control. Learning therapy extends this to include additional activities to address emotional and cognitive concerns, regardless of visual status.. Development occurs first through working primitive motor coordination, balance, and bilateral integration. Further activities help the child gain full awareness of spatial orientation, depth, and relative orientation and positioning of objects in space. Therapy also incorporates use of locomotion and kinesthesis to promote directionality and laterality awareness, as well as saccadic control and peripheral visual sensitivity. In the end, the child stands a firm foundation allowing easier integration and evolution of ...

Helpful, trusted answers from doctors: Dr. Gallant on intestinal bacteria overgrowth: If you have ibs due to sibo (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth)--antibiotics like xifaxan (rifaximin) may help.

All together for the body to have ordinary defecations, Peristaltic Activity is vital. Peristaltic Activity is the regular development inside the body that pushes nourishment from the stomach into the digestion tracts. A short time later, the activity pushes the loss from the digestive organs through the colon and out the rectum. At the point when signals from the mind are not sent or got appropriately, Peristaltic Activity wont happen appropriately and stoppage is the outcome. Despite the fact that the drugs to treat neurological issue may help in the transmission of the signs, they may at present reason stoppage because of lack of hydration. Interminable stoppage, be that as it may, is frequently the aftereffect of less than stellar eating routine or a blockage in the gastrointestinal tract. A blockage, or fecal impaction, is caused when the excrement that sticks to the dividers of the colon and digestive organs develops to the point of causing a check.

The pathogenesis of IBS, like that of most functional disorders of the gut, is controversial and evolving. Alterations in gastrointestinal motility and visceral hypersensitivity are not universally present in all individuals with IBS. Mechanisms associated with visceral hypersensitivity in IBS involve hypervigilance to expected aversive visceral events and hyperalgesia induced by sustained noxious visceral stimulation. Using various paradigms of balloon distention, studies have shown that, overall, IBS patients demonstrate lowered visceral perceptual thresholds, increased viscerosomatic referral areas, and increased sensory ratings when compared with healthy individuals ...

Gastrointestinal motility is one of the most important factors that can influence drug absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of the present s

To develop a strategy for metabolites in safety testing, the types of mechanisms of toxicity that could be caused by metabolites, and the chemical structure of the metabolite, relative to parent drug need to be considered. Toxicity can be categorized into four overall types (A, B, C, and D), as defined below.. In type A toxicity, the toxic mechanism has a pharmacological basis. For this commentary, we consider two subtypes of type A: one based on the target pharmacology (A1) and the other based on other nontarget pharmacology (A2). For Type A1 toxicity, the parent drug is the most common culprit. This can arise by too much receptor occupancy or enzyme inhibition, or either factor occurring for too extended a period (suprapharmacological effects). It can also occur merely due to concurrent side effects of the pharmacological mechanism. Simple examples include gastrointestinal bleeding due to cyclooxygenase-1 inhibition by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, gastrointestinal motility decreases ...

Students learn about Pascals law, an important concept behind the engineering of dam and lock systems, such as the one that Thirsty County wants Splash Engineering to design for the Birdseye River (an ongoing hypothetical engineering scenario). Students observe the behavior of water in plastic water bottles spilling through holes punctured at different heights, seeing the distance water spurts from the holes, learning how water at a given depth exerts equal pressure in all directions, and how water at increasing depths is under increasing pressure.

The patients small bowel had a lot more motility than normal which gave it a pretty weird appearance. When the bowel was visible the entire small intestine was wiggling a lot more than normal. The surgeon examined the small intestine to look for a potential obstruction and couldnt find one but it soon became apparent that the peristaltic activity of the bowel was not moving any of the stool. To alleviate this problem the surgeon made two incisions in the bowel and inserted a catheter into one and flushed saline into the intestine. He then ran the bowel to force the stool out of the other incision farther down the bowel. According to the attending and the resident the consistency of the stool was abnormal and indicated the patient could have cystic fibrosis ...

Upon central administration, NT and NT agonist analogs have been shown over the years to produce a constellation of effects in rodents, including hypothermia, analgesia, sedation, and antipsychotic-like activity (Bissette et al., 1976; Nemeroff et al., 1977; Clineschmidt et al., 1979; Nemeroff, 1980; Kinkead et al., 1999; Cusack et al., 2000). Most, if not all, of these CNS effects of NT can be mimicked by systemic dosing of metabolically stable analogs of NT, most notably NT-2 (Machida et al., 1993; Sarhan et al., 1997) and NT69L (Cusack et al., 2000; Tyler-McMahon et al., 2000). NT is also known for its pharmacological effects on certain peripheral functions, including effects on intestinal motor and secretory activity (Kitabgi and Freychet, 1978), as well as certain effects on endocrine and neuroendocrine function (Brown and Miller, 1982).. Several receptor subtypes (NTR1, NTR2, NTR3) have now been cloned from human and rodent species that are candidates for mediating the effects of NT ...
