Objective To investigate the effects of highly selective vagotomy plus mucosal antrectomy (HSVMA) and highly selective vagotomy (HSV) alone on the functions of the gastric antrum. MethodsEighteen dogs and 48 patients with chronic duodenal ulcer were tested. The time of gastric emptying, antral myoelectric activity, antral pressure were measured 4-6 months after operation in 18 dogs which were randomized into the control, HSV and HSVMA groups. The gastric evacuation, frequency and amplitude of electrogastrography (EGG) were observed 4-6 months after operation in 48 patients who were randomly divided into HSV (20 patients) and HSVMA (28 patients) group, their preoperative values were considered as control group. ResultsIt was found by barium meal examinations that the shape of the stomach and duodenum was normal and gastric peristalsis was clearly visible in all the animals and patients of two postoperative groups. The beginning and ending time of gastric emptying were (5.0±0.06) min and (4.0±0.4) h respectively in the dogs of HSVMA group, which were similar to those of the dogs of control and HSV group (Pgt;0.05). The frequency of the antral myoelectric action potential was (3.11±0.65 ) cycles/min in the dogs of HSVMA group, the frequency of EGG was (3.25±0.75) cycles/min in the patients of HSVMA group, which were significantly lower than that of the dogs or patients of control and HSV group (P<0.05). Injection of pentagastrin in dogs or taking meal in patients significantly increased the antral pressure or amplitude of EGG. Conclusion The motor function of the reconstructed antrum in the HSVMA group approaches the normal level despite a lower antral myoelectric frequency. It is believed that HSVMA will be a choice for the treatment of duodenal ulcer.
目的 探讨在Sprague-Dawley大鼠右心房注射缓激肽对呼吸的影响。 方法 7~9 d和21~23 d大鼠在迷走神经完整和迷走神经切断的情况下从右心房注射缓激肽,观察呼吸指标的变化。 结果 ① 右心房注射缓激肽后,7~9 d大鼠出现呼吸暂停,而在21~23 d大鼠仅出现呼吸抑制(P<0.05);② 切断迷走神经后,右心房注射缓激肽在两组大鼠均不再出现呼吸暂停。 结论 右心房注射缓激肽在7~9 d大鼠产生呼吸暂停,且依赖于迷走神经的完整性。
Forty-two patients with duodenal ulcer underwent highly selective vagotomy and mucosal antrectomy (HSV+MA) and were followed up for 3 years. Two weeks, 1 year and 3 year after operation, serum gastrim level and gastric emptying capacity were tested. The results show that he postoperative levels of serum gastrin were lower than the preoperative ones, but wih no significant difference (P>0.05). Only a few patients had delayed gastric emptying 2 weeks and 1year after operation,but it returned to normal in 3 years .The authors conclude that HSV+MA is a better operative treatment for duodenal ulcer since it can abolish the factors of postoperative ulcer recurence and perserve the functions of the antrum and the pylorus.
Six dogs underwent high selective vagotomy and mucosal antrectomy (HSV+MA). The gross and histological change of dog’s stomach were observed at 4-6 months after operation. It was found that the reconstructed antrum healed well and there was no stasis and distension in the stomach .The appearance of the nerves in muscular layer of the antrum was normal. No serious gastritis and mucosal atrophy was observed. These results indicat that HSV+MA is a reasonable procedure for the treatment of duodenal ulcer.
目的:探讨在不同年龄SD大鼠右心房注射前列腺素E2(PGE2)对呼吸的影响。方法:7~9 d和21~23 d大鼠在迷走神经完整和迷走神经切断的情况下从右心房注射PGE-2,观察呼吸指标的变化。结果:①右心房注射PGE2在7~9 d和21~23 d大鼠中均引起呼吸暂停,呼气延长时间分别为基础呼气时间的9.5和7.5倍(Plt;0.05);②切断迷走神经后,右心房注射PGE-2在7~9 d和21~23 d大鼠均不再产生呼吸暂停,仅出现轻微呼吸抑制。结论:右心房注射PGE2在7~9 d和21~23 d大鼠均产生呼吸暂停,且依赖于迷走神经的完整性。
ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in patients with refractory magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-negative epilepsy and to evaluate potential clinical predictors. MethodsA retrospective collection of efficacy data was conducted on 24 patients with intractable MRI-negative epilepsy treated with VNS, who were followed up for more than six months, at Beijing Tiantan Hospital and Beijing Fengtai Hospital from January 2016 to September 2023. Patients were divided into two subgroups based on their response to VNS: responders (≥50% reduction in seizure frequency) and non-responders (<50% reduction in seizure frequency). The relationship between preoperative clinical data and VNS efficacy was further analyzed to identify potential predictors of VNS efficacy. ResultsA total of 24 patients were included, with an average age of (14.26±8.39) years old. Seizure frequency was reduced by more than 50% in 37.5% of patients, and 8.3% of patients achieved seizure-free after VNS treatment. Preoperative seizure frequency and interictal epileptiform discharge type were significantly associated with VNS efficacy (P<0.05). Multivariate regression analysis showed that a monthly seizure frequency of less than 100 and focal interictal epileptiform discharges were independent predictors of VNS efficacy (P<0.05). ConclusionVNS is an effective treatment for patients with refractory MRI-negative epilepsy. Lower monthly seizure frequency and focal interictal epileptiform discharges are potential predictors of VNS efficacy. These findings provide important references for clinicians in selecting and evaluating patients for VNS treatment.
