A STUDY ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GASTRIC MOTILITY AND PLASMA MOTILIN IN THE PATIENTS WITH HEPATOCIRRHOSIS / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:We clarify the relationship between dysfunction of gastric motility and the plasma motilin,in order to study the pathogenesis,diagnosis and therapy of the hepatocirrhosis with dyspepsia.Methods:The liquid gastric emptying (GE),electrogastrograpgy(EGG) and plasma motilin were examined in 51 patients with hepatocirrhosis.Results:The dysfunction of gastric motility is associated with the liver function,gastric rhythm and upper gastrointestinal symptom.The plasma motilin concentration increased significantly in patients with hepatocirrhosis as compared with that of controls (P<0.01).The sorbefacient prokinetic drug (prepulsid) can improve the function of gastric power,but the lever of motilin no change.Conclusion:The patients with hepatocirrhosis have the dysfunction of gastric motility,and gastric emptying delayed,and there is a relation between GE and the liver function.We evaluate that this disorder is associated with the low sensitivity about stomach to the plasma molitin in this case.We can judge the degree of the liver damage,gastric emptying delayed.gastric rhythm by testing the gastric motilin.Drug can deal it.
