ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the solid gastric emptying characteristics of awake gastroparesis Beagle. Methods A Beagle model of gastroparesis was established by truncal vagotomy combined injection glucagon. Solid gastric emptying of the Beagle under normal and gastroparesis were evaluated with ultrasound imaging,and compared with the results of radionuclide SPECT scintigraphy. Results The solid gastric emptying process of the Beagle was in accordance with modified power exponential models: Y =1-(1-e-kt)β, half time of the gastric emptying of gastroparesis Beagle was obviously longer than normal, there was a significant difference between the two situation ( P < 0.05). Conclusions The solid gastric emptying characteristics of the gastroparesis Beagle has a stable mathematical expression.
