Natural motilin was investigated for its effect on gastrointestinal motor activity in anesthetized dogs. In doses starting from 10 ng/kg as single injection and 100 ng/kg-h as intravenous infusion, motilin induced phasic pressure changes in the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and in the lumen of the fundus, antrum, and duodenum. Tachyphylaxis was seen in 6 out of 10 dogs. Motilin had no effect on isolated muscle strip preparations of the LES, fundus, antrum, and duodenum in this species.

Reduced gastric mucosal nerve density in functional dyspepsia: clinical significance and functional correlation.
Am J Gastroenterol
January 2025
Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology.
Background: This study aimed to quantitatively examine gastric mucosal nerve density (GMND) in patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) and analyzed its clinical correlation.
Methods: We prospectively enrolled 35 patients with FD and 16 age-and gender-matched healthy controls for comparison of GMND on endoscopic biopsy, scores of Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI), and gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES).
Results: Patients with FD had lower GMND than the control subjects in gastric antrum, body, and fundus.
Intragastric botulinum toxin injection: a promising alternative for obesity treatment?

Introduction: Over the past 50 years, the rise in obesity has prompted a search for new treatments. Intragastric injections of botulinum toxin A (BT-A), a safer alternative to surgery, show promise in reducing weight and caloric intake by inducing early satiety. This study examines their efficacy for weight loss.

J Med Case Rep
October 2024
Department of Gastroenterology, Nepal Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal.
Article Synopsis
- Gastric antral vascular ectasia is a rare condition that primarily causes severe gastrointestinal bleeding in older adults, particularly affecting the gastric antrum, and is uncommon among patients undergoing hemodialysis for chronic kidney disease.
- A case is presented involving a 71-year-old male from Nepal who was diagnosed with this condition alongside erosive gastritis after experiencing symptoms like melena and fatigue, leading to a low hemoglobin level and the need for blood transfusion.
- Diagnosis was confirmed through an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, and despite initial management, advanced treatment like argon plasma coagulation was required at a different facility due to limited resources.
Endoscopic Management of Dysfunctioning Gastric Band after Sleeve Gastrectomy with the Luso-Cor Esophageal Stent.
GE Port J Gastroenterol

Serviço de Gastrenterologia e Hepatologia, Centro Hospitalar Universitário Lisboa Norte, Lisboa, Portugal.
Article Synopsis
- A 58-year-old woman experienced complications, including regurgitation and obstruction, after her SG and subsequent ring placement, necessitating a two-step endoscopic procedure with a new Luso-Cor esophageal stent for treatment.
- After initial unsuccessful attempts to alleviate symptoms through dilatation, the stent was ultimately removed, revealing a partially eroded calibration ring, and the patient reported being asymptomatic afterward, leading to a conservative follow-up approach.
Efficacy of a real-time intelligent quality-control system for the detection of early upper gastrointestinal neoplasms: a multicentre, single-blinded, randomised controlled trial.
EClinicalMedicine
September 2024
Department of Gastroenterology, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong, China.
Background: Oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) quality and identification of the early upper gastrointestinal (UGI) neoplasm play an important role in detecting the UGI neoplasm. However, the optimal method for quality control in daily OGD procedures is currently lacking. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a real-time intelligent quality-control system (IQCS), which combines OGD quality control with lesion detection of early UGI neoplasms.
