摘要:
Gastrointestinal (GI) abnormalities are frequent in patients with Down’s syndrome. In a 12-year retrospective review, we identified 187 patients with Down’s syndrome admitted to the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. Twenty-seven had major GI disorders, the most common being duodenal stenosis (DS, nine), gastroesophageal reflux (GER, five), imperforate anus (five), and Hirschsprung’s disease (four). The mortality for the whole group was 11% (20 patients). The mortality in the small group of patients with duodenal stenosis was particularly high (five out of nine, or 56%). Associated congenital heart disease, especially endocardial cushion defects, and the frequent occurrence of pneumonia contributed to this high mortality rate.

摘要:
A 31-year-old man with a 19-year history of rumination developed frequent episodes of heartburn and regurgitation associated with acid gastroesophageal reflux that occurred predominantly during the day. This reflux and its attendant symptoms resulted from abdominal muscle contractions at the time of gastroesophageal pressure equilibration (i.e., common cavity phenomena) consistent with the egress of air from the stomach to the esophagus. A voluntary pharyngeal maneuver unassociated with swallowing but simultaneous with the abdominal contraction resulted in a decrease in upper esophageal sphincter pressure. This lowered pressure facilitated acid esophagopharyngeal regurgitation at a velocity of 100 cm/s. Biofeedback therapy directed at relaxing the abdominal muscles during eating and avoiding the pharyngeal maneuver resulted in a decrease in reflux and marked improvement in symptoms.

摘要:
Rumination is an uncommon disorder with controversial pathophysiology. We have studied a classic ruminator with esophageal, gastric, and small bowel motility techniques during episodes of voluntary regurgitation. His regurgitation was accompanied by 1) simultaneous positive pressure deflections in multiple locations in the stomach, 2) simultaneous negative pressure deflections in multiple locations in the esophagus followed rapidly by simultaneous positive pressure deflections, 3) brief (1-second) periods of lower esophageal sphincter relaxation, and 4) deep inspiratory movements. No intrinsic abnormalities of esophageal, gastric, or small bowel motility were present. We conclude that regurgitation in a ruminator is triggered by a Mueller experiment (forced inspiration against a closed glottis).

摘要:
We studied the esophageal musculature of 11 cadavers to assess the distribution of striated and smooth muscle. The lower 54-62% of the esophagus was found to be exclusively smooth muscle, the proximal 4.1-5.6% to be exclusively striated, and the remainder to be mixed. The area in which striated and smooth muscle portions were approximately equal, the 50/50 point, was found to be 4.7 ± 0.6 cm from the proximal portion of the cricopharyngeus muscle. This point corresponds to the previously described physiologic low pressure zone in the proximal esophagus.

摘要:
A double-blind crossover study was conducted of two gastric prokinetic drugs in 23 patients with gastroesophageal reflux. Patients were divided into two groups on the basis of a dualisotope mixed-meal study of their gastric emptying (GE). Group I had normal GE and group II delayed GE. Nine gastrointestinal symptoms were assessed for frequency and severity before treatment. The trial had three 1-month treatment periods using metoclopramide 10 mg q.i.d., domperidone 20 mg q.i.d., or placebo on a random basis. Symptoms were reassessed at the end of each month. Taken as a whole, the group showed a significant symptomatic response in all three treatment periods (p< 0.0001), but patients with delayed or normal GE did not differ significantly in their symptomatic response. Eleven patients complained of side effects with metoclopramide and three stopped therapy before the 1-month course was completed. Two patients described side effects with domperidone, including one woman with galactorrhea after 36 h of treatment. Three patients on placebo also complained of important side effects. We conclude that a significant placebo effect is present in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux. No significant difference was demonstrated in symptomatic improvement between placebo, domperidone, and metoclopramide in this study.

摘要:
Seventy-eight patients with endoscopically proven duodenal ulcer were randomly allocated to be treated with a medium dose of liquid aluminum-magnesium antacid (75 ml in five daily doses) or cimetidine (400 mg twice daily) for 4 weeks in a prospective double-blind, double-dummy study. Healing rates at completion of trial were 66.7% in the cimetidinetreated group and 71.8% in the antacid group (p, ns). Both treatments were equally effective in relieving ulcer symptoms.Among the patient variables considered, only cigarette smoking was found to have a significant negative effect on ulcer healing. These results indicate that medium doses of antacids are as effective as cimetidine in the short-term treatment of duodenal ulcer.

摘要:
When ingested 1 hour after a meal, conventional liquid antacids have a buffering effect of approximately 2 hours, while in the fasting state their effect is brief, lasting less than 1 hour. We tested the hypothesis that equal doses of antacid, one water soluble (sodium bicarbonate) and the other water insoluble (aluminum hydroxide plus magnesium hydroxide, MaaloxR), would have similar durations of postprandial buffering if the water soluble antacid regenerates the paniculate protein buffer of the meal that leaves the stomach more slowly than liquids. Tests were conducted in random order on three separate days in 10 patients with duodenal ulcer. The effects of 30 ml of 2.39 M sodium bicarbonate (6.17 g, about 1 teaspoonful), the aluminum-magnesium antacid, each equivalent to 71.7 mmol of in vitro buffer, and water as a control on pH, hydrogen ion activity, and titratable acidity were compared. Thirty milliliters of each was swallowed 1 and 3 hours after ingestion of a standard solid plus liquid. Compared to the water control each dose of sodium bicarbonate significantly increased intragastric pH and decreased hydrogen ion activity and titratable acidity for only 1 hour. Each dose of the aluminum-magnesium antacid significantly buffered intragastric contents for 2 hours. These findings indicate that sodium bicarbonate transiently buffers postprandial intragastric contents. Therefore, sodium bicarbonate fails to reconstitute the protein buffer of the meal effectively, and the observations suggest that it leaves the stomach rapidly with the liquid phase of the meal. However, the water insoluble, aluminum-magnesium antacid has a longer duration of buffering, probably because it leaves the stomach more slowly, largely with the solid portion of the meal.

摘要:
We evaluated the hypothesis that the noncaffeine gastric acid stimulant effect of coffee might be by way of serum gastrin release. After 10 healthy volunteers drank 50 ml of coffee solution corresponding to one cup of home-made regular coffee containing 10 g of sugar and 240 mg/100 ml of caffeine, serum total gastrin levels peaked at 10 min and returned to basal values within 30 min; the response was of little significance (1.24 times the median basal value). Drinking 100 ml of sugared water (as control) resulted in occasional random elevations of serum gastrin which were not statistically significant. Drinking 100 ml of regular or decaffeinated coffee resulted in a prompt and lasting elevation of total gastrin; mean integrated outputs after regular or decaffeinated coffee were, respectively, 2.3 and 1.7 times the values in the control test. Regular and decaffeinated coffees share a strong gastrinreleasing property. Neither distension, osmolarity, calcium, nor amino acid content of the coffee solution can account for this property, which should be ascribed to some other unidentified ingredient. This property is at least partially lost during the process of caffeine removal.

摘要:
The efficacy of a 5-day intensive intravenous regimen (IVR), used as treatment for severely active Crohn’s disease in 49 patients, has been evaluated retrospectively. The value of such systemic therapy has not been reported before. Immediate remission was achieved in 38 (76%) patients with no significant difference between those with established disease and those seen for the first time. Patients with ileocolonic disease had the poorest response. There was no apparent change in the natural history of the Crohn’s disease after IVR therapy. Nevertheless, this is a safe and effective method of achieving remission in most sick patients with severely active Crohn’s disease.
