RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the location of esophagogastrostomy on acid and duodenogastroesophageal reflux (DGER) in patients undergoing gastric tube reconstruction and intrathoracic esophagogastrostomy. METHODS: Thirty patients receiving transthoracic esophagectomy without cervical lymph node dissection and gastric tube reconstruction by intrathoracic anastomosis were enrolled. All patients underwent 24-h pH and bilirubin monitoring and gastrointestinal endoscopy one year after surgery. Patients were divided into three groups according to esophagogastrostomy location: group A (n = 9), above the top of the aortic arch; group B (n = 15), between the top and bottom of the aortic arch; and group C (n = 6), below the bottom of the aortic arch. The relations among the esophagogastrostomy location, 24-h pH and bilirubin monitoring results, endoscopic findings, and reflux symptoms were investigated. RESULTS: No acid reflux into the remnant esophagus was observed in group A, whereas it was observed in three of 15 patients (20%) in group B and in two of six patients (33%) in group C (P = 0.139). No DGER was found in group A, whereas DGER was observed in eight (53%) patients in group B and all patients in group C (P < 0.001). Reflux esophagitis was observed in one patient (11%) in group A, five patients (33%) in group B, and all patients in group C (P = 0.002). CONCLUSION: In gastric tube reconstruction via intrathoracic anastomosis, esophagogastrostomy should be performed above the top of the aortic arch to prevent postoperative DGER and reduce the incidence of reflux esophagitis.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: We examined the clinical significance of duodenogastric regurgitation (DGR) as a late complication in the long-term follow-up after hepaticoduodenostomy (HD) as a reconstruction surgery for congenital biliary dilatation (CBD). METHODS: Seventeen patients with CBD were retrospectively analyzed for late complications (mean follow-up, 16.8 years). All patients had undergone total resection of the extrahepatic bile duct followed by HD. DGR was identified using endoscopic examination, intraluminal bile monitoring, and liver scanning. RESULTS: DGR was found in all 17 patients by endoscopic examination and intraluminal bile monitoring. Fourteen of the 17 (82.4%) patients with DGR had experienced abdominal symptoms since a mean of 6.9 years postoperatively. Liver scanning also revealed apparent DGR in all 14 symptomatic patients. We converted 7 of the 14 patients to hepaticojejunostomy reconstruction at a mean of 13.0 years after the initial excisional surgery. Their symptoms were completely relieved postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: DGR is an important complication after HD. Examination of patients for the development of DGR is an essential part of long-term follow-up in patients with CBD who have undergone HD as a reconstruction surgery. Conversion surgery is recommended in patients with DGR accompanied by long-term abdominal symptoms. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE: Level IV.

RESUMO

Endoscopy plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of postoperative complications of gastric cancer. Endoscopic intervention can avoid the second operation and has attracted wide attention. Early gastric anastomotic bleeding after gastrectomy is the most common. With the development of technology, emergency endoscopy and endoscopic hemostasis provide a new treatment approach. According to the specific circumstances, endoscopists can choose metal clamp to stop bleeding, electrocoagulation hemostasis, local injection of epinephrine or sclerotherapy agents, and spraying specific hemostatic agents. Anastomotic fistula is a serious postoperative complication. In addition to endoscopically placing the small intestine nutrition tube for early enteral nutrition support treatment, endoscopic treatment, including stent, metal clip, OTSC, and Over-stitch suture system, can be chosen to close fistula. For anastomotic obstruction or stricture, endoscopic balloon or probe expansion and stent placement can be chosen. For esophageal anastomotic intractable obstruction after gastroesophageal surgery, radial incision of obstruction by the hook knife or IT knife, a new method named ERI, is a good choice. Bile leakage caused by bile duct injury can be treated by placing the stent or nasal bile duct. In addition, endoscopic methods are widely used as follows: abdominal abscess can be treated by the direct intervention under endoscopy; adhesive ileus can be treated by placing the catheter under the guidance of endoscopy to attract pressure; alkaline reflux gastritis can be rapidly diagnosed by endoscopy; gastric outlet obstruction mainly caused by cancer recurrence can be relieved by metal stent placement and the combination of endoscopy and X-ray can increase success rate; pyloric dysfunction and spasm caused by the vagus nerve injury during proximal gastrectomy can be treated by endoscopic pyloromyotomy, a new method named G-POEM, and the short-term outcomes are significant. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) allows complete resection of residual gastric precancerous lesions, however it should be performed by the experienced endoscopists.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cholecystectomy alters bile release dynamics from pulsatile meal-stimulated to continuous, and results in retrograde duodeno-gastric bile reflux (DGR). Bile is implicated in mucosal injury after gastric surgery, but whether cholecystectomy causes esophagogastric mucosal inflammation, therefore increasing the risk of metaplasia, is unclear. STUDY DESIGN: This study examined whether cholecystectomy-induced DGR promotes chronic inflammatory mucosal changes of the stomach and/or the esophagogastric junction (EGJ). Four groups of patients were studied and compared with controls. A group of patients was studied before and 1 year after cholecystectomy; 2 further groups were studied long-term post-cholecystectomy (LTPC) at 5 to 10 years and 10 to 20 years. All underwent abdominal ultrasound and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with gastric antral and EGJ biopsies, noting the presence of gastric bile pooling. Biopsy specimens were stained for Ki67 and p53 overexpression, and the bile reflux index (BRI) was calculated. RESULTS: At endoscopy, bile pooling was observed in 9 of 26 (34.6%) controls, in 8 of 25 (32%) patients pre-cholecystectomy, in 15 of 25 (60%) 1 year post-cholecystectomy patients (p = 0.047), and 23 of 29 (79.3%) LTPC patients (p = 0.001). Bile reflux index positivity at the EGJ increased from 19% of controls through 41% of LTPC patients (p = 0.032). Ki67 was overexpressed at the EGJ in 19% of controls, but in 62% of LTPC patients (p = 0.044); p53 was overexpressed at the EGJ in 19% of controls compared with 66% of LTPC patients (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Duodeno-gastric bile reflux was more common in patients with gallstones than in controls, and its incidence doubled after cholecystectomy. This was associated with inflammatory changes in the gastric antrum and the EGJ, evident in most LTPC patients. Ki67 and p53 overexpression at the EGJ suggests cellular damage attributable to chronic bile exposure post-cholecystectomy, increasing the likelihood of dysplasia. Further studies are required to determine whether DGR-mediated esophageal mucosal injury is reversible or avoidable, and whether surveillance endoscopy is indicated after cholecystectomy.

RESUMO

Remnant gastric cancer (RGC) and gastric stump cancer after distal gastrectomy (DG) are recognized as the same clinical entity. In this review, the current knowledges as well as the non-settled issues of RGC are presented. Duodenogastric reflux and denervation of the gastric mucosa are considered as the two main factors responsible for the development of RGC after benign disease. On the other hand, some precancerous circumstances which already have existed at the time of initial surgery, such as atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia, are the main factors associated with RGC after gastric cancer. Although eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in remnant stomach is promising, it is still uncertain whether it can reduce the risk of carcinogenesis. Periodic endoscopic surveillance after DG was reported useful in detecting RGC at an early stage, which offers a chance to undergo minimally invasive endoscopic treatment or laparoscopic surgery and leads to an improved prognosis in RGC patients. Future challenges may be expected to elucidate the benefit of eradication of H. pylori in the remnant stomach if it could reduce the risk for RGC, to build an optimal endoscopic surveillance strategy after DG by stratifying the risk for development of RGC, and to develop a specific staging system for RGC for the standardization of the treatment by prospecting the prognosis.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We have reported the short-term results of pylorus reconstruction gastrectomy (PRG) that prevents duodenogastric reflux (DGR) and remnant gastritis after distal gastrectomy. We herein report the long-term results of the PRG. PATIENTS AND METHODS: PRG was performed in 37 patients (age 31 to 86 [mean 67.8 ± 12.3] years, male:female = 22:15) with gastric cancer from June 2006 through December 2013. We examined the long-term outcome in 28 patients (age 41 to 86 [mean 67.0 ± 10.7] years, male:female = 18:10) that passed over 3 years after surgery (LTR 44.1 ± 11.7 months), and compared with their short-term result after the operation (STR 13.1 ± 6.9 months). The adverse events of gastric surgery evaluated in this study consisted of the degree of remnant gastritis, the presence of dumping syndrome, and degree of weight loss (%). RESULTS: There was no difference in the degree of DGR and remnant gastritis by gastroscopic finding between LTR and STR after PRG (P = 0.21). Statistically, there was no difference in the bile acid concentration of remnant gastric juice between LTR and STR (108.4 ± 254.1 vs. 94.0 ± 208.6 µmol/L, P = 0.33), and weight loss of LTR was the same as that of STR (5.67 ± 7.08 vs. 4.59 ± 5.63%, P = 0.34). There were few morphological changes in the reconstructed pylorus by the long-term course, but 2 patients showed mild atrophy. CONCLUSION: The form of reconstructed pylorus and the effect that reduces side effects of Billroth I seem to last for a long time.

RESUMO

THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: Determine the pathogenetic significance of express molecules PCNA, Bcl-2, NF-Kb and tachykinins (substance P, neurokinin A) in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), receiving polychemotherapy (PCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: In total 60 patients were examined with GERD time-divided into 2 equal groups on the receiving PCT Leukemia over standard dose for at least one year. The first group consisted of 30 subjects with non-erosive GERD (NEGERD) endoscopically positive form receiving PCT. The second group consisted of 30 subjects with erosive form of GERD (EFGERD) receiving PCT. Patients underwent endoscopy, morphological and immunohistochemical examination of the esophageal mucosa to the definition expression of molecules PCNA, Bcl-2, neurokinin A, substance P and factor Nf-Kb. In patients with refractory form of GERD to proton pump inhibitors therapy (PPIs), additionally imposed ursodeoxycholic acid. THE RESULTS: Patients with NEGERD receiving PCT in 33.3% of cases formed refractory to PPIs form of the disease, when EFGERD refractoriness occurs in 46.7% of patients, which is associated with slowing the proliferation of epithelial cells of the esophagus due to decreased expression of PCNA. Reduced expression of neurokinin A in patients receiving PCT is associated with less activity and intensity of inflammation of esophageal mucosa. Against the background of a high degree of PCT expression of Bcl-2 and factor Nf-Kb, which may explain the frequent detection of atrophic and meta- plastic changes in the esophageal mucosa. Appointment of ursodeoxycholic acid in the complex therapy of GERD can overcome resistance to PPIs and improve the performance of cell renewal. CONCLUSION: Due to the frequent development of GERD refractory to PPIs in patients suffering from diseases requiring the appointment of long-term courses of PCT requires the appointment of cytoprotective therapy, as that can be used ursodeoxycholic acid.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Duodenogastric reflux, commonly encountered as an aftermath of gastroenteroanastomosis, with or without gastric resection (Billroth I, Billroth II), vagotomy and pyloroplastic surgery, is known to cause inflammatory-dystrophic-metaplastic lesions of gastric mucosa. Our objective was to determine the effects of surgery-induced duodenogastric reflux on the development of precarcinogenic lesions or carcinoma in correlation with the reflux duration. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The experiment was performed on three groups of Wistar rats with 1) Billroth II-induced reflux surgery, 2) resection of the Rouxr-en-Y type reconstruction, and 3) control group with no resection. The aim of the experiment was to study the effects ofduodenogastric reflux on the rat gastric mucosa in correlation with two different types of gastroenteroanastomosis 8, 16 and 24 weeks after the surgery. RESULTS: In Billroth II group, hyperplastic changes were observed as early as in week 16. Statistically significant results were recorded in week 24, with 6.7% of metaplastic alterations, including dysplasia of all three degrees, dominantly severe dysplasia in 66.67%, early carcinoma in 20% and gastric carcinoma in 6.67%. In the Roux-en-Y group, gastric mucosa remained predominantly normal (60%), with somewhat increased frequency ofgastritis and dysplasia in week 24. In the control group, the finding of normal gastric mucosa was constant. CONCLUSION: The experiment confirms that direct contact of duodenal juice with gastric mucosa associated with Billroth II resection causes precarcinogenic lesions. Development of adenocarcinoma caused solely by duodenogastric reflux, excluding a carcinogenic agent is possible 20 weeks after the experiment--earlier than suggested by previous researchers.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Our goal was to verify surgical factors that affect duodenogastric reflux (DGR) after esophagectomy through the use of a flow visualization model that would mimic an intrathoracic gastric tube. METHODS: Transparent gastric tube models for different routes (retrosternal space [RS] and posterior mediastinum [PM]) were fabricated. Various distal pressures were applied to the experimental model filled with water, and the flow was recorded with a high-speed camera. The volume and maximum height of the refluxate through the pylori of two different sizes (7.5 mm, 15 mm) in two different postures (upright, semi-Fowler) was measured by analyzing the video clips. RESULTS: For the large pylorus setting, when the pressures of 20, 30, and 40 mmHg were applied in the upright position, the volumes of the refluxate in the RS/PM tubes were 87.7 ± 1.1/96.4 ± 1.7 mL, 150.8 ± 1.1/158.0 ± 3.2 mL, and 156.8 ± 3.3/198.0 ± 4.7 mL (p < 0.05), and the maximum heights were 101.6 ± 4.8/113.4 ± 2.9 mm, 151.4 ± 2.2/165.4 ± 1.5 mm, and 166.1 ± 1.7/193.7 ± 6.6 mm (p < 0.05). The data for the small pylorus setting or in the semi-Fowler position showed similar tendencies. For any given route, posture or pressure setting, DGR in the large pylorus model was definitively higher than that for small one. CONCLUSIONS: This fluid mechanics study demonstrates posterior mediastinal gastric interposition or pyloric drainage procedure, or both, is associated with high reflux of duodenal contents.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Reddish streaks in an intact stomach are an endoscopic feature of duodenogastric reflux. This study aimed to identify which factors are associated with gastric reddish streaks and thus help prevent mucosal damage from duodenogastric reflux. METHODS: Demographic data, personal habits, stressful life events, and psychological distress were compared between subjects with only gastric reddish streaks and those with normal mucosa who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy as part of a self-paid physical checkup. Stress hormones dopamine and cortisol were also checked by high-performance liquid chromatography and radioimmunoassay methods respectively. RESULTS: There were 95 subjects with gastric reddish streaks and 52 subjects with normal mucosa. No significant differences in age, gender, blood groups, education levels, marital status, religion, aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use, smoking habit, alcohol consumption, and intake of tea was found between the two groups, but intake of coffee was borderline more common in subjects with normal mucosa (38.5% vs 22.1%, P = 0.055). Subjects with gastric reddish streaks had lower Helicobacter pylori infection rate (37.8% vs 19.3%, P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in psychological distress and stressful life events between the two groups. Multivariate analysis shows that serum dopamine concentrations (odds ratio = 11.31, 95% confidence interval = 2.11-60.48, P = 0.005) and being without the consumption of coffee (odds ratio = 2.97, 95% confidence interval = 1.27-6.94, P = 0.012) were associated with gastric reddish streaks. CONCLUSIONS: Elevated serum dopamine and less coffee consumption are associated with gastric reddish streaks. These findings implicate that increased dopamine level plays a role for abnormal duodenogastric reflux.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: To study the functional aspects of the transposed stomach in the thoracic cavity and its effects on other organ systems. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Children who had undergone gastric transposition more than 5 years ago were evaluated for symptoms, anthropometry, anaemia, duodenogastric reflux, pulmonary function, gastric emptying, gastric pH, gastroesophageal reflux and stricture, gastric motility, and gastritis and atrophy on histological examination of gastric mucosa. RESULTS: Ten children were evaluated at a median follow-up of 90.5 months. On evaluation of symptoms, nine children were satisfied with the overall outcome. All patients had their weight and 7 patients had height less than 3 rd percentile for their respective age. Anaemia was present in 7/10 children. On evaluation with hepatobiliary scintigraphy, duodenogastric reflux was present in only 1 patient. Mass contractions of the transposed stomach were present in two thirds of the children. The mean gastric emptying t1/2 was 39.1 minutes. Pulmonary function tests were suggestive of restrictive lung disease in all the patients. Forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV1) were worse in children who underwent transposition or diversion following oesophageal anastomotic leak. Acid secretion was preserved in most patients with episodes of high gastric pH during sleep in nearly half. Mild gastritis was present in all patients where as mild atrophy of the gastric mucosa was observed in only 1child. Helicobacter pylori were positive in 3/ 8 children. Barium swallow demonstrated reflux in 2 children. CONCLUSIONS: Most children with transposed stomach remain asymptomatic on follow up. However, subclinical abnormalities are detected on investigations, which need close observation as they can manifest later in life.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cholecystectomy, gold standard treatment for gallbladder lithiasis, is closely associated with increased bile reflux into the stomach as amply demonstrated by experimental studies. The high prevalence of gallstones in the population and the consequent widespread use of surgical removal of the gallbladder require an assessment of the relationship between cholecystectomy and gastric mucosal disorders.Morphological evaluations performed on serial pre and post - surgical biopsies have provided new acquisitions about gastric damage induced by bile in the organ. METHODS: 62 elderly patients with gallstone related disease were recruited in a 30 months period. All patients were subjected to the most appropriate treatment (Laparoscopic cholecystectomy). The subjects had a pre-surgical evaluation with:• dyspeptic symptoms questionnaire,• gastric endoscopy with body, antrum, and fundus random biopsies,• histo-pathological analysis of samples and elaboration of bile reflux index (BRI).The same evaluation was repeated at a 6 months follow-up. RESULTS: In our series the duodeno-gastric reflux and the consensual biliary gastritis, assessed histologically with the BRI, was found in 58% of the patients after 6 months from cholecystectomy. The demonstrated bile reflux had no effect on H. pylori's gastric colonization nor on the induction of gastric precancerous lesions. CONCLUSIONS: Cholecystectomy, gold standard treatment for gallstone-related diseases, is practiced in a high percentage of patients with this condition. Such procedure, considered by many harmless, was, in our study, associated with a significant risk of developing biliary gastritis after 6 months during the postoperative period.

RESUMO

Pancreatitis, a late complication of an annular pancreas (AP), results from coexisting pancreaticobiliary malformations including pancreas divisum (PD), and pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM). The authors report the case of a 3-year-old boy with an unusual type of AP in which the dorsal anlage encircled the duodenum. The patient developed duodenal obstruction as well as duodenopancreatic reflux with resulting hyperamylasemia and hyperlipasemia. This type of AP associated with duodenopancreatic reflux in AP has not been reported previously. The patient was successfully treated by duodenoduodenostomy, which, by correcting the duodenopancreatic reflux, prevented the later development of pancreatitis.

RESUMO

Reflux esophagitis (RE) is a known complication disturbing patients' quality of life after esophageal resection. It is generally recognized that bile reflux as well as acid reflux cause RE. However, the clinical influence of acid and bile reflux, and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection on RE in the cervical esophagus after esophagectomy is not yet clarified. Sixty patients who underwent cervical esophagogastrostomy following esophagectomy were enrolled in this study. They underwent examination for H. pylori infection, endoscopic examination, and continuous 24-hour pH and bilirubin monitoring, at 1 month after surgery. The influence of acid and/or bile reflux, H. pylori infection, and others on the development of RE were investigated. RE was observed in 19 patients (32%) at 1 month after esophagogastrostomy, mild RE in 16 (27%), and severe RE in 3 (5%). The percentage of time duration of both acid and bile reflux into the cervical esophagus was higher in patients with RE than in those without (P = 0.027, P < 0.001). A significant difference in %time pH < 4 acid reflux was found between mild RE and severe RE (P = 0.014), and a statistical difference in %time abs. > 0.14 between non-RE and mild RE (P = 0.017). Acid and/or bile reflux was observed in 31 patients (52%), acid-only reflux in 6 (10%), bile-only reflux in 15 (25%), and acid-and-bile reflux in 10 (17%). Severe RE was observed only in patients having acid-and-bile reflux. On the univariate analysis, no infection of H. pylori, acid reflux, and bile reflux were determined to be the influencing factors to RE among the clinical factors including age, gender, route of esophageal reconstruction, H. pylori infection, and acid-and-bile reflux. In the subanalysis using the logistic model, there were significant correlations between bile reflux and RE irrespective of the presence of H. pylori infection (P = 0.016, P = 0.007). On the other hand, there was a significant correlation between acid reflux and RE only in patients without H. pylori infection (P = 0.039). In the early period after esophagogastrostomy, bile reflux could cause RE irrespective of H. pylori infection, while acid reflex could cause RE only in patients without H. pylori infection. There is a possibility that bile reflux plays an important role in the development of RE after esophagectomy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We performed this prospective randomized study to evaluate what is the best reconstruction method after distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer. METHODS: One hundred fifty-nine patients who underwent laparoscopy-assisted or open gastrectomy for gastric cancer were analyzed from March 2006 to August 2007. Billroth I (B-I) anastomosis, Billroth II (B-II) with Braun anastomosis, and Roux-en-Y (R-Y) anastomosis were applied randomly. Additionally, the patients were divided into two groups based on treatment type: laparoscopic and open operation. Endoscopy and hepatobiliary scans were performed to investigate gastric stasis and enterogastric reflux. The Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) was used to evaluate postoperative quality of life, and the hematologic test was used to assess nutritional aspect. RESULTS: Endoscopy revealed that reflux after the R-Y anastomosis procedure was significantly less frequent than after the other anastomosis types at 12 months. Comparison of the GIQLI and the nutritional parameters between the reconstruction types revealed that there were no differences, but a significantly higher GIQLI score was observed in the laparoscopic group immediately following the procedure (P = 0.042). CONCLUSIONS: R-Y anastomosis is superior to B-I and B-II with Braun anastomosis in terms of frequency of bile reflux, despite the fact that there is no difference in the postoperative quality-of-life index and nutritional status between reconstructive procedures. The laparoscopic approach is the better option than open surgery in terms of QOL in the immediate postoperative period.

RESUMO

Reflux of gastroduodenal contents and delayed gastric emptying are the most common and serious problems after esophagectomy with gastric reconstruction. However, attempts to reduce the above symptoms, surgically as well as non-surgically, had no or limited effect. To address this issue, we performed retrosternal gastric reconstruction with duodenal diversion plus Roux-en-Y anastomosis (RY) in eight patients with thoracic esophageal cancer and compared the outcomes with control patients who underwent standard reconstruction. The procedure is simple, safe, and not associated with any postoperative complications. The pancreatic amylase concentrations in the gastric juice samples on postoperative day 2 were slightly lower in the non-RY group than in the RY group (1884 ± 2152 vs. 25,790 ± 23,542IU/mL, respectively, P= 0.07). Postoperative endoscopic examination showed neither reflux esophagitis nor residual gastric content in the RY group. Quality of life assessed by the Dysfunction After Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery-32 questionnaire postoperatively was significantly better in the RY group than in the non-RY group for 'decreased physical activity,''symptoms of reflux,''nausea and vomiting,' and 'pain.' The results of this pilot study suggest that gastric reconstruction with duodenal diversion plus RY seems effective in improving both the reflux and delayed gastric emptying. The benefits of this procedure need to be further assessed in a large-scale, randomized controlled trial.

RESUMO

AIM: To determine the chronic cholangitis risk factors and to provide a practically significant diagnostic criteria of chronic cholangitis in patients after cholecystectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Were examined the clinical, anamnestic data, clinical laboratory and instrumental studies of the condition of the hepatobiliary system in 127 patients with chronic cholangitis after cholecystectomy. The determination of microbial contamination of bile was performed during the duodenal intubation. RESULTS: In the bile microbial landscape study were noted the violation of biliary system microbiota in 92.1% of cases. Herewith identified a combination of bacterial factors with parasitic invasion (mixed infection) in 28 (22.0%) patients. Cholangitis develops in the presence of duodeno biliary reflux, duodenal motility disorders and hypotonia of Oddi's sphincter in the early postoperative period. In the late periods after cholecystectomy, cholangitis chronization defines outflow obstruction and cholestasis due to functional or organic causes in most patients. CONCLUSIONS: Risk factors for chronic cholangitis should be referred to long history of gallstone disease, performance of cholecystectomy in the emergency order against the inflammatory process of thehepatobiliary system, absence of adequate correction of postoperative hypertension of bile duct, destruction of sphincter apparatus major duodenal papilla during surgery.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Increased gastro-oesophageal reflux (GER) is common in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Previous studies showed delayed gastric emptying (GE) and a high prevalence of bile acids in saliva suggesting duodenogastro-oesophageal reflux (DGER). AIM: To assess different types of reflux (acid, weakly acidic and bile) and their relationship with rate of GE in adult CF patients. METHODS: Gastric emptying was assessed in 33 CF patients using breath tests, reflux was monitored in 42 patients using impedance-pH-metry and 14 CF patients underwent combined impedance-pH-Bilitec monitoring. RESULTS: Delayed GE was found in 33%, increased GER (predominantly acid) in 67% and pathological DGER in 35% of the CF patients. There was a significant correlation between oesophageal bile and acid exposure (P < 0.0001, r = 0.85). Patients with increased DGER had a higher proximal extent of reflux compared to those without DGER [17 (9-35) vs. 5 (1-12), P = 0.04]. There was no correlation between GE and reflux parameters, however, in a subgroup of 10 patients studied by impedance-pH-Bilitec and GE, there was a strong correlation between GE rate and bile exposure (P = 0.005, r = 0.83). CONCLUSIONS: Delayed gastric emptying is present in 1/3 of patients with cystic fibrosis. There is a subgroup of these patients with both delayed gastric emptying and increased acidic duodenogastro-oesophageal reflux with high proximal extent and risk of aspiration. Controlled studies should be performed to evaluate the effect of prokinetics or antireflux surgery on the clinical cystic fibrosis evolution in these patients.

RESUMO

We report two infants who underwent right pneumonectomy in infancy and developed postpneumonectomy syndrome with obstruction of the left main bronchus causing severe airway obstruction in one patient and gastrointestinal reflux due to a displaced and grossly dilated oesophagus in the other patient. Both patients were operated with implantation of an expandable breast prosthesis.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Alcoholic beverages are known to increase acidic gastro-esophageal reflux (GER) and the risk of esophagitis. Moreover, duodenogastro-esophageal reflux (DGER), containing bile acids, was shown to harmfully alter the esophageal mucosa, alone and synergistically with HCl and pepsin. However, studies directly addressing potential effects of different low proof alcoholic beverages on DGER in health and disease are missing. METHODS: Bilitec readings for beer and white, rose, and red wine were obtained in vitro from pure and from mixtures with bile. One-hour DGER monitoring and pH-metry were performed in 12 healthy subjects and nine reflux patients with DGER after ingestion of a standardized liquid meal together with 300 mL of water, white wine, and in the volunteers, beer and rose wine. KEY RESULTS: Bilitec measurement was found to be feasible in the presence of beer, white wine, and using a threshold of 0.25, rose wine. However, the presence of red wine resulted in extinction values above this threshold. The consumption of all investigated alcoholic beverages, especially of white wine, triggered increased acidic GER, both in healthy participants and patients with reflux disease. In contrast, no relevant DGER was found after intake of alcoholic beverages. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES: Fiber-optic bilirubin monitoring can be used for DGER monitoring in combination with alcoholic beverages, except with red wine. Low-proof alcoholic beverages are a strong trigger of GER, but not of DGER, both in healthy subjects and patients with reflux disease.
