Résumé
ObjectiveTo compare the difference effects on the proximal stomach in rapid(intake rate 100 mL/min) and slow(intake rate 15 mL/min) LNLT.Methods Forty healthy subjects received both the rapid and slow LNLTs.The caloric density of the nutrient was 1 kcal/mL. The TVDRI and MVDRI were recorded,and the corresponding TVPS and MVPS were measured by B-ultrasound.Results(1) There were positive correlation was identified between TVDRI and TVPS,and between MVDRI and MVPS in both slow and rapid LNLTs.(2) TVDRI and MVPS in slow LNLT were significantly smaller than those in rapid LNLT,but MVDRI was significantly larger in slow LNLT than that in rapid LNLT.(3) TVDRI was much closer to TVPS in slow LNLT than those in rapid LNLT.But MVDRI was much closer to MVPS in rapid LNLT than those in slow LNLT.Conclusion Both slow and rapid LNLTs could be used to evaluate the accommodation to a meal and visceral sensitivity of the proximal stomach.The visceral sensitivity is related to the accommodation function.TVDRI of slow LNLT is more sensitive in estimating the visceral sensitivity of the proximal stomach;MVDRI of rapid LNLT is more accurate in estimating the accommodation of the proximal stomach.
