Gastritis cystica profunda (GCP) consists of hyperplasia and cystic dilatation of the gastric glands extending into the submucosa. It occurs in the residual stomach post surgery and in the unoperated stomach. GCP is considered a benign lesion, but there is controversy about its malignant potential. We report a case of early gastric cancer arising from GCP treated by endoscopic submucosal dissec...

AIMS We previously reported that mechanical atrial stretch (AS) by balloon distention increased gastric tonus in anesthetized rats. The present study evaluated the effect of AS on the gastric emptying of a liquid test meal in awake rats and its underlying neural mechanisms. MAIN METHODS Anesthetized male rats received a balloon catheter into the right atrium and a gastrostomy cannula. The nex...

Curcumin is unstable under different environmental conditions. To increase the bioavailability and stability of curcumin, it proposed in present study to encapsulate palm oil-in-water nanoemulsions using ultrasound. The work deals with maximum curcumin encapsulation into oil forms stable nanoemulsion a food-grade surfactant examines its antioxidant assay in-vitro study. synthesized (CuNE) shows...

OBJECTIVE The physiology of gastrointestinal transfer function after proximal gastrectomy with bypass-tract reconstruction is not well understood. We applied a simultaneous dual-radionuclide method with a hepatobiliary imaging and gastric emptying study to evaluate physiologic alterations occurring after surgery. METHODS Nineteen patients with early gastric cancer, including 9 preoperative co...

The study was designed to investigate the effect of trimebutine maleate, a drug used in both hyperkinetic and hypokinetic motility disorders, on gastric emptying in patients with non-ulcer dyspepsia having prolonged gastric emptying rates and to compare the parameters used for the determination of the lag period observed during the emptying of solid foods from the stomach. Gastric emptying was ...

AIM To evaluate gastric emptying in girls with Turner's syndrome to detect if gastrointestinal motor dysfunction was present. SUBJECTS Thirteen girls (mean age 8.1 years) with Turner's syndrome, seven girls with familial short stature (6.1 years), and eight control girls (7.6 years). METHODS Gastric emptying studies were performed by using 500 microCi of technetium 99m-sulphur colloid bound...

Despite the tremendous advancement in drug delivery, oral route remains the preferred route for the administration due to higher levels of patient compliance. But conventional forms offer no control over drug delivery, leading to fluctuations in plasma drug level. These have a disadvantage of a release all or nothing emptying process while the multiple unit particulate system pass through the g...

with diffuse abdominal pain, melena, and iron-deficiency anemia. Gastroscopy and colonoscopywere unremarkable.Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) (PillCam SB2; Given Imaging, Yoqneam, Israel) was then carried out. The video sequence showed the capsule passing through a narrow orifice of the distal ileum into a cavity containing multiple enteroliths swirling in a greenish fluid with debris (●" Figs...

Covasa, Mihai, Robert C. Ritter, and GilbertA. Burns. NMDA receptor participation in control of food intake by the stomach. Am J Physiol Regulatory Integrative Comp Physiol 278: R1362–R1368, 2000.—We previously reported that MK801 (dizocilpine), an antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-type glutamate receptors, increased meal size and duration in rats. MK-801 did not increase sham feeding o...
