Comparison of pathophysiological mechanisms in different subtypes of patients with functional dyspepsia
2010
Objective To explore whether the pathophysiological mechanisms are same or not in different subtypes of functional dyspepsia (FD) patients. Methods Severity of symptoms and (44.2± 14. 6) years. Multi-gastrointestinal functions were also tested. Results No statistical difference was found among epigastric pain syndrome (EPS), postprandial distress syndrome (PDS) and mixed type in the data of gastric emptying function, gastric myoelectrical activity, autonomic nerve function,simultaneous introgastric pressure and water loading test, and psychological status assessment as well (P>0.05). There was a positive linear correlation between postprandial fullness and half gastric emptying time (correlation coefficient=11.5, P= 0. 043). Early satiation was negatively related to maximal water intaking volume (correlation coefficient=-6. 8, P=0. 033). Conclusions In this study, it suggested that the FD patients with different pathophysiologic mechanisms cannot be distinguished efficiently according to Rome Ⅲ criteria, and then be treated in a well-targeted manner.
