METHODS: The action of these drugs on the sphincter of Oddi (SO) was evaluated by means of choledochofiberscopy manometry in 40 operated patients with T-tube. The patients were divided randomly into 4 groups: anisodamine, atropine, buscopan, and control. The following data were recorded: duodenal pressure (DP), basal pressure of the sphincter of Oddi (BPSO), contractive amplitude of the sphincter of Oddi (CASO), contractive frequency of the sphincter of Oddi (CFSO), contractive duration of the sphincter of Oddi (CDSO), and pressure of the common bile duct (PCBD). Both morphine and anticholinergic agents were given intramuscularly. RESULTS: After injection of 10 mg morphine, BPSO, CASO, CFSO, and PCBD increased significantly. After injection of 15 mg anisodamine or 0.75 mg atropine, CASO, BPSO declined obviously, and after injection of 20 mg buscopan, CASO, BPSO, CFSO declined obviously, but in anisodamine, atropine and buscopan groups, they differed insignificantly. CONCLUSIONS: The results illustrate that SO manometry via choledochofiberscopy is a new method for SO dynamic study. Morphine can increase DP, BPSO, CASO, PCBD, but anisodamine atropine and buscopan can antagonize the effect of morphine.展开更多

METHODS: Seventy patients were retrospectively included in the study. Thirty-five patients were examined with administration of 40 milligrams of HBB (Buscopan ; Boehringer, Ingelheim, Germany); 35 patients were examined without HBB. A multiparametric MRI protocol was performed on a 3.0 Tesla scanner without using an endorectal coil. The following criteria were evaluated independently by two experienced radiologists on a five-point Likert scale: anatomical details (delineation between peripheral and transitional zone of the prostate, visualisation of the capsule, depiction of the neurovascular bundles); visualisation of lymph nodes; motion related artefacts; and overall image quality.RESULTS: Comparison of anatomical details between the two cohorts showed no statistically significant difference (3.9 ± 0.7 vs 4.0 ± 0.9, P = 0.54, and 3.8 ± 0.7 vs 4.2 ± 0.6, P = 0.07) for both readers. There was no significant advantage regarding depiction of local and iliac lymph nodes (3.9 ± 0.6 vs 4.2 ± 0.6, P = 0.07, and 3.8 ± 0.9 vs 4.1 ± 0.8, P = 0.19). Motion arte- facts were rated as 'none' to 'few' in both groups and showed no statistical difference (2.3 ± 1.0 vs 1.9 ± 0.9, P = 0.19, and 2.3 ± 1.1 vs 1.9 ± 0.7, P = 0.22). Overall image quality was rated 'good' in average for both cohorts without significant difference (4.0 ± 0.6 vs 4.0 ± 0.9, P = 0.78, and 3.8 ± 0.8 vs 4.2 ± 0.6, P = 0.09). CONCLUSION: The results demonstrated no significant effect of HBB administration on image quality. The study suggests that use of HBB is not mandatory for MRI of the prostate at 3.0 Tesla.展开更多
