... characterized by dysmotility-like dyspepsia, delayed gastric emptying at scintigraphy and absence of gastroduodenal phase 3 of the migrating motor complex during a manometric recording of at least 300 min. After overnight fasting in 8 of these patients, neostigmine was administered intravenously at a dose...

... equivalent to 10 and 30 mg/kg as Fe, respectively. In control experiments, 154 m M NaCl, ITF 211 (succinylated albumin) and ITF 297 (succinylated casein) were used. Administration of 154 m M NaCl did not affect gastrointestinal motility nor did it disrupt migrating motor complex (MMC) cycling. ITF 1096...

... subjects with normosecretion. After a basal recording period sufficient to record at least two activity fronts of the migrating motor complex (MMC), an intraluminal infusion of isotonic NaHCO 3 was carried out for 180 min in patients with active duodenal ulcer, whereas in patients with ulcer in remission...

... secretion was obtained by means of the intravenous administration of an H 2 agonist, Impromidine. The gastroduodenal motor activity was recorded manometrically for about 200–300 min in basal conditions to obtain at least two subsequent activity fronts of the migrating motor complex (MMC cycle). Only...

..., were used as controls. In the Billroth II group the interdigestive migrating motor complex (IMMC) showed a higher relative duration of phase II activity than the controls and a shorter mean time-interval than the controls between subsequent activity fronts, with abnormal jejunal propagation...

... and saline infusion in an almost identical way. Conclusion: This study provides no clear evidence for a role of intraduodenal artificial bile (i.e. its main constituents) in the regulation of migrating motor complex cycling or feedback inhibition of inter-digestive gallbladder emptying. © 2001 S.

... and the pathogenesis of bacterial translocation during biliary obstruction. Methods: Rats were fitted with jejunal myoelectrodes for the measurement of the interdigestive migrating motor complex (MMC) and with two cannulas in the proximal common bile duct (CBD) for exteriorization of biliary flow. This allowed...

... motility was recorded by means of a low-compliance manometric system in 15 healthy subjects. Thirty minutes after the first phase III of the migrating motor complex, clarithromycin (CLA) was infused intravenously at a dose of 100 mg in 5, 250 mg in 5 and 400 mg in 5 subjects, randomly and in a double-blind...
