A model of gastric motility disorders was established in the experimental group undergone truncal vagotomy combined with injection of glucagon. Gastric half-emptying time (GEt1/2) was monitored with single photon emission computerized tornography (SPECT), and the half-solid test meal was labeled with an isotope-^99mTc sulfur colloid. Plasma motilin concentration was measured with radioimmunoassay (RIA) kit. Surface gastric pacing at 1.1-1.2 times the intrinsic slow-wave frequency and a superimposed series of high frequency pulses (10-30Hz) was performed for 45min daily for a month in conscious dogs.RESULTS:After surgery, GEt1/2 in dogs undergone truncal vagotorny was increased significantly from 56.35±2.99min to 79.42±1.91min (P<0.001), but surface gastric pacing markedly accelerated gastric emptying and significantly decreased GEt1/2 to 64.94±1.75min (P<0.001) in animals undergone vagotomy. There was a significant increase of plasma level of motilin at the phase of IMCⅢ (interdigestive myoelectrical complex, IMCⅢ) in the dogs undergone bilateral truncal vagotomy (baseline vsvagotomy, 184.29±9.81pg/ml vs 242.09±17.22pg/ml;P<0.01).But plasma motilin concentration (212.55±11.20pg/ml; P<0.02) was decreased significantly after a long-term treatment with gastric pacing.Before gastric padng, GEt1/2 and plasma motilin concentration of the dogs undergone vagotomy showed a positive correlation (r=0.867, P<0.01), but after a long-term gastric pacing, GEt1/2 and motilin level showed a negative correlation (r=-0.733, P<0.04).CONCLUSION: Surface gastric pacing with optimal pacing parameters can improve gastric emptying parameters and significantly accelerate gastric emptying and can resume or alter motor function in a canine model of motility disorders. Gastric emptying is correlated well with plasma motilin level before and after padng, which suggests that motilin can modulate the mechanism of gastric pacing byaltering gastric motility.motilin can modulate the mechanism of gastric pacing by altering gastric motility.展开更多
