It has been shown that children with pancreatic fibrosis who have no pancreatic lipase at all may absorb a considerable proportion of dietary fat (Shohl, 1948; Andersen, 1945a and b; Ross, 1955). In addition it has been demonstrated by Andersen (1945a) that there may be a considerable amount of hydrolyzed fat in the stools of children with pancreatic fibrosis. These findings would indicate the ...

BACKGROUND TFF2, a member of the trefoil factor family of proteins, is a glycosylated protein of 106 amino acids. It is secreted by gastric antral and pyloric glands and by Brunner's glands of the duodenum. TFF2 is found in high concentrations around sites of ulceration. It stimulates cell motility and is probably the principal cytoprotective trefoil peptide in the stomach. AIMS To determine ...

Six patients with a drain in the main pancreatic duct were studied. Ethanol was given orally with individually adjusted doses aiming at a blood value of 0-8/1000 (17-6 mmol/l). Concentrations of ethanol in venous blood and pancreatic juice were recorded for three hours. Similar studies were made when ethanol was administered as an intravenous priming dose followed by a maintenance infusion. Aft...

The samples of human gastric juice were collected from patients of the University Hospital and the Veterans’ Administration Hospital in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The secretion of gastric juice was stimulated by injecting intravenously 10 units of insulin immediately before starting each collection. The gastric juice was collected in jars, cooled to 4”, and kept at this temperature. Samples from ...

PURPOSE To assess gastric pH and its relationship with urease-test positivity and histological findings in children with Helicobacter pylori infection. METHODS Fasting gastric juices and endoscopic antral biopsy specimens were collected from 562 children and subjected to the urease test and histopathological examination. The subjects were divided into 3 age groups: 0-4, 5-9, and 10-15 years. ...

The quantity of histamine entering gastric juice has been followed during standard intramuscular pentagastrin tests in 10 patients (six duodenal ulcer, one gastric ulcer and three nonulcer dyspepsia), and during standard insulin tests in three (all duodenal ulcer). Following pentagastrin, peak histamine output occurred from 0-15 min in six patients and from 15-30 min in two. Acid output peaks f...

The aim of this study was to observe the efficacy of clarithromycin-based triple therapy for Helicobacter pylori (Hp)-infected duodenal ulcer when combined with different pH levels of gastric juices. A total of 160 patients with Hp-infected duodenal ulcers were randomly allocated into two groups. Patients in the treatment group (n=80) were administered a 20-mg dose of omeprazole twice daily for...

Each patient to be tested was fasted overnight and in the morning had a tube (16F) passed through the nose. The position of the tube was checked fluoroscopically. The patient remained seated throughout the test. Saliva was expectorated when necessary. Gastric juice was aspirated continuously and mechanically at 30 mm. Hg subatmospheric pressure, with automatic switch-off for 10 out of every 60 ...

The aim of this study was to characterise the individual human gastric and duodenal juices to be used in in vitro model digestion and to examine the storage stability of the enzymes. Gastroduodenal juices were aspirated, and individual variations in enzymatic activities as well as total volumes, pH, bile acids, protein and bilirubin concentrations were recorded. Individual pepsin activity in th...
