A radiotelemetric system using dual pressure pills was used to record the jejunal motility in man. Prolonged recordings were made under relatively physiological conditions. Six patients with functional abdominal pain and six age/sex matched normal subjects were studied. Motility patterns varied markedly both within and between subjects. No differences were detected between the two groups. In particular, the occurrence of characteristic pain in the patients bore no relation to the recorded motor activity. The wide range of jejunal motility patterns in normal subjects needs to be appreciated before conclusions can be drawn about possible abnormalities in gut diseases or disorders.

Effects of BLa80 on fecal and mucosal flora and stem cell factor/c-kit signaling pathway in simulated microgravity rats.
World J Gastroenterol

Department of Gastroenterology, The Air Force Medical Center, Beijing 100142, China.
Background: Simulated microgravity environment can lead to gastrointestinal motility disturbance. The pathogenesis of gastrointestinal motility disorders is closely related to the stem cell factor (SCF)/c-kit signaling pathway associated with intestinal flora and Cajal stromal cells. Moreover, intestinal flora can also affect the regulation of SCF/c-kit signaling pathway, thus affecting the expression of Cajal stromal cells.

Objective: To study the changes in gastrointestinal wall thickness, blood flow, motility, and symptoms in patients with acute heart failure, and to assess gastrointestinal function by ultrasound.
Methods: In this study, patients diagnosed with acute heart failure were selected as the study group, and healthy individuals were selected as the control group. Both groups collected general data and completed the Chinese version of the gastrointestinal symptom rating scale.
Two Cases of Pylorus-Preserving Pancreatoduodenectomy with Remnant Stomach Preservation in Patients Who Have Undergone Proximal Gastrectomy.
Surg Technol Int
December 2024
Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Kochi Health Sciences Center, Kochi, Japan.
Introduction: Pancreaticoduodenectomy after proximal gastrectomy (PG) presents technical challenges owing to the need to preserve blood flow in the remnant stomach. Considering the oncological factors and preservation of the remnant stomach blood supply, it is crucial to preserve or reconstruct the right gastric artery (RGA) and/or right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA). In cases where the RGEA is preserved, technical considerations for reconstruction arise owing to the poor motility of the remnant stomach.

Background: The movement of intestinal smooth muscle is regulated by the external autonomic nervous system (ANS) and its internal enteric nervous system (ENS). Previous studies have shown that acupuncture has a bidirectional regulating effect on intestinal motility through the sympathetic and vagal ANSs. ENS can independently regulate the sensory, secretory, and motor functions of the intestine.

Department of Farm Animals, Vetsuisse Faculty, University of Zurich, Winterthurerstrasse 260, Zurich, CH-8057, Switzerland.
Background: Small intestinal obstruction (SIO) is a blockage of the intestinal lumen by blunt foreign bodies, neoplasms originating from the intestinal wall or thick chyme. This study analysed the medical records (only data) of 110 cattle with SIO and described the clinical findings, treatment and outcome. These findings were compared between surviving and non-surviving cattle, and among the affected regions such as the duodenum, jejunum and ileum.
