Abstract:
Acupuncture of points E36 Zusanli and auricular points is shown to influence acid production in the body of the stomach and alkalinization in the stomach antrum in patients with duodenal ulcer and hyperacidity. 20-min acupuncture on points E36 intensifies acid production while 40-min procedure inhibits acid production. Combination of auricular and corporal acupuncture enhances acid production suppression in gastric body and improves alkalinizing function of the antrum.Keywords:

The mucosal distribution of G cells was quantitatively mapped in resected stomachs from 42 patients (12 with gastric ulcer, 11 with duodenal ulcer, 14 with duodenal ulcer and uremia, and 5 with gastric cancer). Along the histological border of the proximal part of the pyloric antrum there was in all patient categories a transitional zone of varying extent, with a low G-cell density before the cells disappeared in the body of the stomach. The proximal end of the duodenum contained considerably fewer G cells than the antrum, and the number was virtually equal in all groups. Within the antrum there was in the material as a whole a gradual increase in G-cell density from the proximal to the distal part, but this difference was not apparent for the gastric ulcer patients. When corresponding antral segments were compared between the various patient groups, the G-cell density was found to be significantly decreased in the distal antrum of the gastric ulcer patients. In all patient categories, except the duodenal ulcer group with uremia, the circumferential distribution of G cells showed reduced density along the curvatura minor. For the material as a whole there were great individual variations in the overall antral G-cell density, in the antral area corresponding to the distribution of G cells and in the total G-cell mass; these three variables were not significantly related to diagnosis, age or sex.

Morphological changes were studied of gastritis in patients with ulcer localized in the upper, middle thirds of the stomach, in its antral segment, and in patients with ulcer in the bulb of duodenum, the former two groups of patients displaying mild inflammation/activity if any, the latter ones showing a high to moderate degree of inflammation and activity of gastritis identifiable in the antral segment of the stomach. The findings secured can be helpful in the diagnosis of gastritis of different localization, prognostication of the course of the illness, and adoption of adequate therapy.

The number of G cells is evaluated in biopsy specimens of fundic, antral and duodenal mucosa from the bulb, second and third parts in 10 patients with duodenal ulcer, and compared with that observed in 6 normal controls. G cells are absent in fundic mucosa but in the antrum their number in duodenal ulcer patients does not differ from that of controls and is strictly related to the histological pattern of the mucosa. In the second and third duodenum of duodenal ulcer patients the number of G cells is significantly higher in comparison with controls, while in the bulb the two groups do not differ significantly. Moreover, when different duodenal portions are compared no differences in the number of G cells are observed in the duodenal ulcer group; while in controls the bulbar number of G cells is higher in comparison with second and third duodenum.

PurposeThe influence of acupuncture at point Zusanli (S 36) on the antral area was observed. MethodsIn accordance with the wholism concept and meridian th eory in Chinese medicine, AloKA SSD 630 B ultrasonic equipment was employed t o observe the gastric antrum areas in 180 health persons respectively 3 minutes before and after acupuncture at Zusanli (S 36).Results and ConclusionAfter acupuncture, antral areas increase d obviously and stomach moved more quickly, which presented an effective acupoin t for the treatment of gastric diseases.

AbstractBackground: So far, only a few and conflicting data are available about the possible correlation between Helicobacter pylori infection and disorders of gastrointestinal motility. Methods: In the present study we have evaluated the interdigestive manometric recordings from the stomach and duodenum of 100 consecutive dyspeptic patients, to ascertain whether the absence of phase III of the migrating motor complex (MMC) might be associated with a different prevalence of H. pylori infection. All the patients who entered a protocol study for functional dyspepsia had endoscopic examinations of the upper gastrointestinal tract with at least two biopsy specimens from both the gastric antrum and corpus (for histologic evaluation, with search for Helicobacter-like organisms). Then, 240-min interdigestive manometric recordings, with evaluation of activity fronts (phase III of the MMC), starting from the stomach and the duodenum, were made. Results and Conclusions: The data obtained suggest that in patients without evidence of gastric phase III of MMC the prevalence of H. pylori colonization is significantly (P = 0.032) higher.Key Words: Functional dyspepsiagastric motilityHelicobacter pylorimigrating motor complex

We have compared acidity level and Helicobacter Pylori contamination rate of the mucous coat of stomach in 50 patients with duodenal ulcer at the age from 17 to 54 y.o., among which were 25 smokers and 25 non-smokers. The period of smoking varied from 5 to 21 years. In the morning Ph-measurements were carried out by means of IAS-2 device based on V. N. Chernobrov's method. We used fibrogastroduodenoscopy technique for verifying a duodenal ulcer and obtaining mucous coat material from antrum and corpus ventriculi to obtain Helicobacter Pylori contamination rate. The acid level of the stomach in the smokers was shown to be reliably lower than in non-smoking patients, what was the cause of higher Helicobacter Pylori contamination rate.
