ESOPHAGEAL MOTOR FUNCTION IN IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME / 中华消化内镜杂志

ABSTRACT

Patients with irritable bowel syndrome(IBS,n=41)subjected to gastroscopy,patholo- gy,esophageal manometry and 24h pH monitoring.The records were compared with that of normal in- dividuals(n=30)to clarify the relation of esophageal motor function with esophageal complaints in cas- es with IBS.Results showed that 21/41 cases with IBS presented esophageal symptoms.Rate of abnor- mal endoscopic and pathologic findings in 6 of which was statistically higher than the control's; esophageal lower sphincter pressure in IBS with symptoms declined significantly than that without and the control;esophageal peristaltic velocity and duration increased with significance;no pressure differ- ence was detected in esophageal upper sphincter;total pH score ,fraction-time pH
