Gastrointestinal motility disorder is a major clinical manifestation of acute liver injury, and interdigestive migrating motor complex (MMC) is an important indicator. We investigated the changes and characteristics of MMC in rats with acute liver injury. Acute liver injury was created by d-galactosamine, and we recorded the interdigestive MMC using a multichannel physiological recorder and com...

Abstract The groin and pelvis represent a large anatomical region with disorders affecting diverse array of osteoarticular, musculotendinous, gastrointestinal, genitourinary structures. Although it can be difficult to pinpoint pain generator clinically, patients often present non-specific orthopedic complaints at the anterior , lateral inferior or posterior aspect pelvis. purpose this practical...

Nitric oxide (NO) is now recognized as an important modulator of an enormous number of physiological processes, ranging from blood pressure regulation to neuronal transmission to penile erectile function. In the gastrointestinal tract, NO also participates in many physiological and pathophysiological processes. In this review, we summarize the contribution made by NO to the ability of the gastr...

A 4-year-old girl presented with intermittent abdominal pain and frequent vomiting later with bile contents for 2 days. No history of blunt abdominal injury can be traced. The initial clinical impression was upper gastrointestinal obstruction and a series of examinations were performed including an upper gastrointestinal series, endoscopy and abdominal CT. Because of unimproved condition a week...

Factors controlling gastric mucosal blood flow are now better understood, and improved techniques have been established to study microcirculation in the gastrointestinal tract. In this paper, four areas are reviewed: gross and microscopic vessels that supply blood to the stomach; factors that control gastrointestinal blood flow; pathogenic role of disturbed mucosal blood flow circulation induce...

The purpose of the present study is to confirm the protective effect of berberine (BBR) on gastrointestinal injury caused by acute heavy alcohol exposure, an effect that has not been reported previously. Our research details how BBR protects against gastrointestinal injuries from acute alcohol exposure using both in vivo and in vitro experiments. Acute high alcohol concentrations lead to obviou...
