introduction: gastric drainage disorder is one of the complications of gastric pull-up and esophagectomy after surgery which might lead to esophageal cancer and benign strictures. the aim of this study was to determine the role of pyloromyotomy on gastric drainage. materials and methods: in this prospective randomized controlled clinical trial study, we studied 51 patients in two matched groups...

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...

Gastric emptying is a critical determinant in postprandial glycaemic control. This study aimed to assess whether gastric emptying in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) relates to gastrointestinal symptoms and to heart rate variability (HRV) as a measure of autonomic function. We studied 30 adolescents (age 15 ± 2.5 years, BMI 22 ± 3.1 kg/m) with T1D. Subjects consumed a C labelled pancake m...

The net release of insulin, glucagon and somatostatin by the portal-drained viscera (PDV) and their net uptake by the liver in response to 3-d abomasal infusions of casein were measured in seven multicatheterized beef steers. The steers were fed 4.3 kg DM/d of a high-concentrate diet in 12 equal meals (13.1 Mcal ME/d and 95 g N/d). In two separate experiments, the abomasal infusion of 300 g cas...

Galectins and collectins are proteins classified in the lectin family that have the ability to recognize molecular patterns associated with pathogens. Studies on cattle have demonstrated high expression of these proteins during infection with gastrointestinal nematodes. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the level of Haemonchus contortus infection would alter the expression of gal...

Abstract Introduction Surgical pyloroplasty is often performed to reduce the rate of delayed gastric emptying. However, clinical significance this not clear. The aim meta-analysis compare rates emptying, anastomotic leak, pulmonary complications, need for further pyloric intervention, and mortality in those patients undergoing following oesophagectomy who do not. Method Relevant Randomised Cont...

Plasma amino acid response of wethers to abomasal infusions of DL-methionine (DLM), DL-homocysteine thiolactone-HCl (HCTL) and N-acetyl-DL-methionine (NAM), in vivo rumen stability of the latter two methionine analogs and preintestinal absorption of HCTL were studied. The daily infusion of 1.06 g of DLM elevated molar percentage of methionine and lysine in plasma'and decreased molar percentage ...

Accepted for publication 21 December 1992 Abstract Gastric emptying of liquid (orange juice containing technetium-99m ('Tc) labelled antimony sulphide colioid) and solid (570 kcal pancake containing O 5 mm resin microspheres labelled with Indiun-ll ("'-In)) was measured in seven patients with jejunum and no colon (jejunal lengths 30-160 cm), six patients with jejunum in continuity with the colo...

the prevalence of the latent form of sheep abomasal phytobezoariasis and the effect of husbandry management on this condition were determined in a survey in and industrial abattoir in urmia from june 2005 to july 2006. the effect of different age groups and seasons on the prevalence of sheep abomasal phytobezoariasis was also determined. furthermore, the histological changes in the affected abo...

Rate of gastric emptying is a frequently measured variable in glycaemic response studies. One of the indices employed for measurement of the gastric emptying rate is the blood level of paracetamol at frequent intervals of time following coingestion of paracetamol with the meal. But the effect of paracetamol itself on glycaemic response is not known. The present study was performed on ten health...
