ABSTRACT
Aim To investigate the selective inhibition of ethanol on muscarinic receptor-or 5-HT receptor-me-diated contractile responses in the circular smooth mus-cle strips isolated from the different regions of rat stom-ach. Methods Circular muscle strips isolated from the rat gastric fundus, body, cardia and pylorus were prepared, and the contractile responses to carbachol ( CCh ) or 5-HT were recorded. Results Ethanol (0. 000 05~0. 000 5, V/V) did not affect the contrac-tile response to CCh in circular muscle strips from the rat gastric fundus and cardia, and that to 5-HT in the strips from rat gastric fundus and body ( P >0. 05 ) . However, ethanol(0. 000 1 and 0. 000 5) significantly inhibited the Emax value of the contraction by CCh from (12. 18 ± 0. 33) g of control level to (10. 88 ± 0. 41) g and -lgEC50 value from ( 6. 33 ± 0. 05 ) of control level to (6. 12 ± 0. 06)(P <0. 05) in the strips from rat gastric body. Ethanol(0. 000 1 and 0. 000 5) also significantly inhibited the Emax value of the contraction by CCh from (2. 87 ± 0. 15) g of control level to (2. 2 ± 0. 13) g and -lgEC50 value from (6. 49 ± 0. 10) of control level to (6. 05 ± 0. 09)(P<0. 01) in the strips from rat gastric pylorus. Moreover, ethanol ( 0. 000 1 and 0. 000 5) significantly inhibited the Emax value of the contraction by 5-HT from (2. 93 ± 0. 35) g of con-trol level to ( 2. 1 ± 0. 30 ) g ( P<0. 05 ) , but did not affect the -lgEC50 value in the strips from rat gastric cardia. Conclusions Ethanol inhibits the contractile responses to 5-HT only in the circular muscle strips of rat gastric cardia, and it inhibits the contractile respon-ses to CCh more strongly in the circular muscle strips of gastric pylorus than gastric body. In those gastric circular muscle strips, ethanol decreases both the ac-tivity and affinity of CCh to muscarinic receptors, but decreases only the activity of 5-HT to its receptors.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTlVE To investigate the effect of stretch on muscarinic receptor- and 5-hydroxytryptamine( 5-HT)receptor-mediated contractiIe responses in isoIated circuIar muscIe strips taken from the rat stomach. METHODS The contractiIe responses to carbachoI(CCh)0.001-30 μmoI·L-1 or 5-HT 0.0001 -30 μmoI·L-1 administered cumuIativeIy were recorded in isoIated circuIar muscIe strips taken from the gastric fundus,body,cardia and pyIorus of rats under different preIoads of 1.0,1.5,2.0, 2.5 and 3. 0 g,but a singIe concentration of CCh 0. 3 μmoI·L-1 was administered to the antrum. RESULTS The -Log EC50 vaIue for CCh in the isoIated circuIar muscIe strips of the gastric fundus, body and pyIorus under 1.0 g preIoad was the Iargest,but decreased significantIy with higher preIoads (P﹤0.05,P﹤0.01). A simiIar resuIt was obtained in the isoIated circuIar muscIe strips of the gastric body when 5-HT was used as an agonist. The Emax vaIue of contractiIe responses to CCh and 5-HT in the cir-cuIar muscIe strips of the gastric cardia under 3.0 g preIoad was increased by 117.4% and 75.7% com-pared to that under 1.0 g preIoad. The Emax vaIue of contractiIe responses to 5-HT in the circuIar muscIe strips of the gastric body under 3.0 g preIoad was aIso increased by 115.9% when compared to 1.0 g preIoad. The Emax( g) vaIue of contractiIe responses to CCh in four types of muscIe strips was 10.453±2.956(cardia under 3.0 g preIoad),13.878±2.618(fundus under 2.5 g preIoad),10.244±1.843 (gastric body under 2.5 g preIoad)and 2.585±1.098(pyIorus under 2.5 g preIoad),respectiveIy. The Emax(g)vaIue of contractiIe responses to 5-HT in three types of muscIe strips was 4.363±1.705(cardia under 3.0 g preIoad),3.931±0.615(fundus under 3.0 g preIoad)and 3.161±0.680(gastric body under 3.0 g preIoad),respectiveIy. CONCLUSlON 0.5 g or 1.0 g preIoad is inadequate for accurate determi-nation of contractiIe responses mediated by muscarinic receptors and 5-HT receptors in isoIated circuIar muscIe strips taken from the rat gastric cardia,fundus,body and pyIorus,but 2.0 g preIoad is optimaI for investigating muscarine receptor- or 5-HT receptor-mediated contractiIe responses of isoIated gastric strips of rats.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical significance of gastric cracks by investigating the relationship between stomach cracks under gastroscopy and H.pylori infection as well as its pathological manifestation,in order to improve the detection rate of H.pylori.Methods Gastroscopy patients were enrolled as our subjects excluding those with tumors,major diseases and under 18 years old.Mucosal biopsies were obtained from the lesser curvature of antrum and the greater curvature of body in each patient,then by HE staining,pathological and HP examination.The information including the pathological diagnosis,HP antibody,rapid urease test,endoscopic diagnosis and endoscopic gastric body cracking phenomenon were collected from all patient.H.pylori positivity was defined as a patient who showed two or more positive results in the Rapid Urea's Test,pathohistological examination and H.pylori antibody detection.Results (1) 437 patients with gastroscopy were included between December 2009 and December 2011,among whom 210 were male and 227 were female.There were 32 cases with gastric ulcer,59 cases with duodenal ulcer,51 cases with duodenitis,62 cases with reflux esophagitis,and 276 cases with chronic gastritis.(2) H.pylori distribution in stoma of all patients:160 of 437 patients(36.61％) are H.pylori positive,of which 68.75％ (110/160) was found H.pylori positive in both of gastric antrum and body,25.63％ (41/160) was H.pylori positive only in antrum,and 3.13％ (5/160) was H.pylori positive only in the body of stomach.(3)Relationship between the presence of cracks in gastric body and H.pylori infection:the H.pylori positivity was 62.58％ (97/155) and 22.34％ (63/282) respectively in the group with or without the presence of cracks in body.Cracks in gastric body examined by gastroscopy was related to H.pylori infection(x2 =69.788,P =0.000).(4) Relationship between the presence of cracks in gastric body and patho-histology:the presence of cracks in gastric body was related with severity of gastric inflammation by Wilcoxon rank sum test (P ＜ 0.0001),while there was no relationship between gastric body cracks and atrophy,intestinal metaplasia and atypical hyperplasia(P ＞ 0.05).(5) Relationship between the presence of cracks in gastric body and diseases:the presence of cracks in body was related with duodenitis,bile reflux under gastroscopy while there was no difference among in gastric body and gastric ulcer,esophagitis and chronic gastritis in terms of cracking appearance (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Our finding showed that cracking appearance in the gastric body is related with severity of inflammation in gastric mucosa bile reflux and duodenitis,suggesting that it can be one of the gastroscopic manifestations of more severe gastritis.
ABSTRACT
Objective Toobserve the effect of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) on the SP-induced smooth muscle contractility of gastric body and gastric fundus, so as to investigate the role of BTX-A in the binding between SP and NKi receptor. Methods Muscle strips were prepared from gastric body and gastric fundus and were randomly divided into control group, SP group, SP+APTL-SP (NKi receptor antagonist) group, BTX-A group, BTX-A+SP group, and SP+BTX-A group. The contractility data were recorded by physiological experimental system of Biolap420E. Results SP significantly enhanced the tension and amplitude of gastric body contractility and the tension of gastric fundus contractility (P<0. 01). APTL-SP signficantly inhibited SP-induced smooth muscle contractility tension m gastric body and gastric fundus (P<0. 01). BTX-A significantly mhibited the smooth muscle contractility amplitude in gastric body and gastric fundus (P<0. 01). BTX-A significantly inhibited SP-induced smooth muscle contractility, including the tension (P<0. 05, 0. 01) and amplitude (P<0. 01) in the gastric body and gastric fundus. After BTX-A treatment, SP did not enhance the smooth muscle contractility of the gastic body and gastric fundus in vitro. Conclusion SP can enhance the spontaneous contractility of smooth muscle in the gastric body and gastric fundus; BTX-A can inhibitSP-induced smooth muscle contractility of both gastric body and gastric fundus.

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: Subtotal distal gastrectomy has been accepted as the standard treatment for early gastric cancer that's developed on the gastric body. EMR and ESD have been introduced to minimize the incidence of postgastrectomy syndrome, but these procedures can not detect lymph node metastasis and they have a risk for gastric perforation. Segmental gastrectomy has recently been applied for treating early gastric cancer, but its usefulness has not been clarified. The aim of this study was to compare segmental gastrectomy and distal gastrectomy with Billroth I reconstruction for treating early gastric cancer that's developed on the gastric body. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of all the patients who were diagnosed as having early gastric cancer that developed on the gastric body at Chungnam National University Hospital from January 2004 through July 2007. During this period, 41 patients received segmental gastrectomy and 40 patients underwent subtotal distal gastrectomy. All the patients were studied via a biannual review of the body systems, a physical examination, endoscopy, computed tomography and the laboratory findings. RESULTS: There were no significantly differences of the clinicopathologic characteristics between the two groups. The changes of the nutritional status (Hb, TP, Alb and TC) and the body weight change were not significantly different between the 2 groups. There were significantly more residual food in the SG group than that in the SDG group (RGB classification, Residual>Grade 2), but there were no differences for epigastric discomfort (P>0.05). Esophagitis developed at a similar rate for both two groups (LA classification, >Grade A), and bile reflux was found in only one patient of each group. CONCLUSION: We expected the reduction of esophagitis and gastritis and the improvement of nutritional status according to the type of procedure. Yet the results of our study showed no significant differences between the two study groups. More patients and a longer follow up time are needed for determining the advantage sand disadvantages of segmental gastrectomy.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of gastric cancer and the relationship between H.pylori infection and the histopathologic changes of gastric mucosa in patients who had their H.pylori eradicated for 8 years in the high incidence region of gastric cancer. Methods One thousand and six adults(age from 35 to 75 years old)were randomly selected in Yantai area, Shandong province in 1996. Five hundreds and fifty two individuals with H.pylori positive were randomly divided into treatment group (n=276) and placebo group(n=276). Treatment group received triple therapy (omeprazol, amoxycillin and clarithromycin) for one week. The placebo group was served as control. One month after completion of treatment, H.pylori status was reassessed by 13C-UBT. Eradication rate of H.pylori in the treatment group was 89%.Follow-up study was carried out with endoscopy in the 2nd, 5th and 8th year, respectively. The endoscopic appearance and histology of the biopsies from the same site obtained at the first and final endoscopy were compared. Results ①At the 8th year′s follow up, 7 patients deve-loped gastric cancer, 1 in the H.pylori negative group(n=246)and 6 in the H.pylori positive group(n=306). The prevalence was 1/1968 person years in the treatment group and 6/2448 person years in placebo group(P0.05). ③ Eight years after eradication of H.pylori , the proportion of gastric atrophy in the body in the H.pylori eradication group was much lower than that in the non-eradication group(P0.05). Conclusions H.pylori infection increased the risk of gastric cancer occurrence, H.pylori eradication is able to reduce such risk. H.pylori eradication results in reduction in the pre-valence of gastric atrophy in the body, while continued H.pylori infection leads to progressive aggrava-tion of gastric atrophy and intestinal metaplasia.
ABSTRACT
Aim To observe the modulation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) on motility of isolated gastric smooth muscle from rat.Methods Longitudinal and circular muscle strips of rat gastric body and antrum were prepared, and the effects of ATP (0.1, 1,10,100 ?mol?L~-1 and 1 mmol?L~-1 ) on the motility of the strips were investigated. Results ATP induced a small relaxation followed by an obvious spasm in longi- tudinal muscle strips of the gastric body; when tone was raised by KCl, ATP induced a larger relaxation followed by a smaller spasm.ATP only produced contraction in circular muscle strips of the gastric body.Low concentration of ATP inhibited the contractile amplitude of the antral longitudinal strips, at the same time increased the frequency of the contraction apparently; when tone was raised by KCl, ATP produced a concentration-related relaxation.Low concentration of ATP firstly enhanced and then inhibited contractile amplitude of antral circular musle strips, while high concentration of ATP fully inhibited the motility. Conclusion We firstly reported the obvious effects of ATP on longitudinal and circular strips of rat gastric body and antrum. The effects of ATP on the four preparations were different from each other, suggesting that ATP plays an important modulatory role on motility of gastric smooth muscle of rats.
