摘要:
Objective: We investigated the relationships among gastrointestinal sounds, gastrointestinal manometric findings, and small intestinal transit time in healthy fasted humans. Methods: Gastrointestinal sounds acquired with two microphones attached to the upper and lower abdominal walls of healthy subjects were quantified with a computer-aided sound analysis program. Antroduodenal contractions were recorded by manometry. Small intestinal transit time was measured by breath hydrogen testing after intraduodenal administration of lactulose. Results: The sum of the gastrointestinal sound amplitudes (sound index) in both the upper and lower abdomen changed with time, coinciding with the gastric phases of the migrating motor complex. The sound indices in the upper and lower abdomen were 59.0 +/- 24.8 and 98.1 +/- 21.6 mV/min in phase 1, 95.5 +/- 27.9 and 127.4 +/- 34.9 mV/min in phase 2, and 132.8 +/- 12.4 and 188.5 +/- 73.4 mV/min in phase 3, respectively. There were no significant differences among motility phases in terms of the mean duration or frequency of each sound event. Intravenous erythromycin induced phase 3 in the stomach and doubled the sound index. Somatostatin analogue induced phase-3-like clustered contractions in the duodenum, but inhibited antral contractions and decreased the sound index. The small intestinal transit time was shorter and the sound index increased after intravenous metoclopramide, compared with controls. Scopolamine delayed small intestinal transit time and decreased the sound index. Conclusions: This study is the first to document the relationships between gastrointestinal sounds and the migrating motor complex. The chronological relation between antral motility and gastrointestinal sounds, and the dissimilar effects of erythromycin and somatostatin, suggest that antral contractions increase gastrointestinal sounds, perhaps by supplying gas into the intestine.
