Three groups of them were ligated around the upper part of common bile duct (CBD). The experiments were performed in conscious and fasting state. The gastrointestinal myoelectrical activity was recorded. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and saline were then perfused into stomachs of two groups with CBD obstruction and the effects of them on the MMC were observed.RESULTS: A typical pattern of MMC was observed in normal fasting rats. MMC of antral and duodenal origin disappeared temporarily in earlier stage of CBD obstruction. While MMC of jejunum origin appeared.increased MMC cycle duration was seen after 4 d in rats with CBD obstruction. The MMC after CBD obstruction was characterized by an increased duration of phase Ⅱ-like activity and decreased duration of phase Ⅰ & Ⅲ activity.Perfusion into stomachs with UDCA resulted in a shorter MMC cycle duration and a longer duration of phase Ⅲ of duodenal origin compared to the normal group.CONCLUSION: Entero-hepatic bile acid circulation initiates inter-digestive MMC of duodenal origin.展开更多

Methods Sprague-Dawley rats were supplied with a venous catheter and bipolar electrodes in the duodenum and jejunum for electromyography of stomach and small intestine in wake state. PYY,phentolamine,nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA,the inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase) and atropine were served with PYY respectively. The plasma motilin levels before and after the infusion of PYY were observed. Results At all the three recording points,PYY lengthened the circle length of MMC [from (591.90±128.98)s to (999.25±216.59)s,P<0.01] and lowered the frequency of phase Ⅲ [from (39.28±8.40) min-1 to (22.08±3.13) min-1,P<0.01],amplitude of phase Ⅲ [from (0.320±0.060)mV to (0.179±0.030)mV,P<0.01],and the portion of phase Ⅲ over the whole circle length [from (28.61±5.84)% to (15.43±5.16)% ,P<0.01]. Phentolamine had no influence on the role of PYY. Administered L-NNA combined with PYY,the percentage of phase Ⅲ increased [(42.09±8.67)%] compared with that of control (P<0.01) and compared with that of PYY administered alone (P<0.01) too. Atropine combined with PYY showed stronger depressing effects on MMC. No significant difference was found between the plasma motilin levels before and after the infusion of PYY. Conclusion PYY may inhibit the interdigestive intestine motility through the none-adrenergic none-cholinergic tract,while the α-receptor tract and circulating motilin are probably not involved in the depressing effect.展开更多

Methods: Adult SD rats of either sex were used; 0.5 μl motilin (0.74 mmol/L) was injected into the guide cannula which was stereotaxically implanted into the hippocampus previously. Then the MMC was recorded by a RM6240B multilead physiological recording system. Results: (1)MMC characteristics of normal rats’ duodenum: the frequency of phase Ⅲ was (18.1±0.4) bursts/min; the amplitude of phase Ⅲ was (260.5±42.3)μV; the duration of phase Ⅲ was (354.1± 21.6) s; MMC cycle duration was (690.2±58.7)s. (2) After motilin was injected into the hippocampus, the duodenal MMC cycle duration was decreased significantly. However, the amplitude of phase Ⅲ and the frequency of phase Ⅲ were increased. But there were no effects on the duration of phase Ⅲ. Frequency of phase Ⅲ percentage change was much more than amplitude of phase Ⅲ percentage change (57.2±2.8 vs 39.3±5.2). (3) Effects of motilin in the hippocampus on MMC were completely abolished by subdiaphragmal vagotomy. (4) Effects of motilin in the hippocampus on MMC were unaffected by intravenously injected atropine, phentolamine or propranolol. (5) The anti-motilin serum partly abolished the effects of motilin in the hippocampus on MMC. Conclusion: Motilin in the hippocampus has effects on the duodenal MMC cycle duration, the amplitude of phase Ⅲ and the frequency of phase Ⅲ. Motilin in the hippocampus plays an important role in duodenal MMC.展开更多

METHODS: Interdigestive MMC activities of the antrum and duodenum were recorded by strain gauge implanted on the serosa of 8 conscious dogs. A cannula was intubated in femoral vein for motilin injection. The plasma motilin concentration was measured by RIA. We observed: (1) normal interdigestive MMC activity and fluctuations in plasma motilin concentration; (2) the effects of electrically damaging the AP on MMC activity and plasma motilin level; (3) whether intravenous injection of motilin could induce phase III contractions after the AP was destroyed. RESULTS: (1) Typical interdigestive MMC with phase I, II, III, and IV was recorded in normal dogs. Phase III was concurrent with the peak of plasma motilin level. (2) In damaged AP dogs, antroduodenal interdigestive MMC contractions were suppressed; cyclic, phasic and migratory pattern of MMC was disrupted. Plasma motilin concentration was decreased. Intravenous injection of motilin could not induce phase III contractions. CONCLUSIONS: The area postrema might play an important role, which is mediated by motilin, on the regulation of interdigestive MMC.展开更多
