Oesophageal wall stretch: the stimulus for distension induced oesophageal sensationNeurogastroenterology and Motility - Tập 16 Số 6 - Trang 721-728 - 2004
Tomoshiro Takeda, Toshinaga Nabae, Ghassan S. Kassab, Jinyuan Liu, Ravinder K. Mittal
Abstract Recently, we reported a novel ultrasound technique to assess the
biomechanical properties of the oesophagus in humans. To investigate whether the
oesophageal sensation induced by oesophageal distension correlates with wall
tension, wall stress or wall strain, we studied 20 healthy subjects using a
manometry catheter equipped with a high‐compliance bag and a high‐frequency
intraluminal ul... hiện toàn bộ
Ghrelin regulates gastric phase III‐like contractions in freely moving conscious miceNeurogastroenterology and Motility - Tập 21 Số 1 - Trang 78-84 - 2009

Abstract In humans and dogs, motilin regulates phase III contractions of
migrating motor complex (MMC) in the interdigestive state, while ghrelin
regulates MMC in rats. It still remains unclear whether ghrelin regulates phase
III contractions of the mouse stomach. A miniature strain gauge transducer was
sutured on the antrum to detect circular muscle contractions and gastric
contractions of the i... hiện toàn bộ
Reversal of visceral hypersensitivity in rat by Menthacarin®, a proprietary combination of essential oils from peppermint and caraway, coincides with mycobiome modulationNeurogastroenterology and Motility - Tập 30 Số 6 - 2018

AbstractBackgroundIrritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common gastrointestinal
disorder associated with altered gastrointestinal microflora and increased
nociception to colonic distension. This visceral hypersensitivity can be
reversed in our rat maternal separation model by fungicides. Menthacarin® is a
proprietary combination of essential oils from Mentha x piperita L. and Carum
carvi. Because th... hiện toàn bộ
Action potential generation, Kit receptor immunohistochemistry and morphology of steel‐Dickie (Sl/Sld) mutant mouse small intestineNeurogastroenterology and Motility - Tập 10 Số 1 - Trang 11-26 - 1998
H B Mikkelsen, J Malysz, J D Huizinga, L Thuneberg
In contrast to wild‐type mice, homozygotes with mutations of the W locus do not
express the functional Kit receptor and are severely deficient in the Auerbach's
plexus (AP)‐associated subtype of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC‐AP). With a
morphologically intact neural and muscular structure, the absence in these
mutants of both small‐intestinal slow waves and ICC‐AP constitutes strong
evidence fo... hiện toàn bộ
Brain activity during distention of the descending colon in humansNeurogastroenterology and Motility - Tập 16 Số 3 - Trang 299-309 - 2004

Abstract Brain‐gut interaction is considered to be a major factor in the
pathophysiology of irritable bowel syndrome. However, only limited information
has been provided on the influence of gastrointestinal tract stimulation on the
brain. Our aim in this study was to determine the specific regions of the brain
that are responsible for visceral perception and emotion provoked by distention
of the ... hiện toàn bộ
Protease‐activated receptor‐4 (PAR4): a role as inhibitor of visceral pain and hypersensitivityNeurogastroenterology and Motility - Tập 21 Số 11 - Trang 1189 - 2009
Céline Augé, Daniela Balz-Hara, Martin Steinhoff, Nathalie Vergnolle, Nicolas Cénac
Abstract Protease‐activated receptor‐4 (PAR4) belongs to the family of
receptors activated by the proteolytic cleavage of their extracellular
N‐terminal domain and the subsequent binding of the newly released N‐terminus.
While largely expressed in the colon, the role of PAR4 in gut functions has not
been defined. We have investigated the effects of PAR4 agonist on colonic
sensations and sensory n... hiện toàn bộ
New insights into human enteric neuropathiesNeurogastroenterology and Motility - Tập 16 Số s1 - Trang 143-147 - 2004
Roberto De Giorgio, Stefania Guerrini, Giovanni Barbara, Cesare Cremon, Vincenzo Stanghellini, Roberto Corinaldesi
AbstractThe functioning of enteric neuronal circuitries has been elucidated in
the recent past. Evidence is now gathering to explain how dysfunction of the
enteric nervous system (ENS) may lead to human gastrointestinal motor disorders.
These conditions include achalasia, congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis,
chronic intestinal pseudo‐obstruction, Hirschsprung's disease, chronic
idiopathic con... hiện toàn bộ
Enterochromaffin cell hyperplasia and decreased serotonin transporter in a mouse model of postinfectious bowel dysfunctionNeurogastroenterology and Motility - Tập 17 Số 6 - Trang 863-870 - 2005
Johanna Wheatcroft, D. Wakelin, Adrian L. Smith, Christine R. Mahoney, Gary M. Mawe, Robert E. Spiller
Abstract Patients with postinfective irritable bowel syndrome and Trichinella
spiralis‐infected mice share many features including visceral hypersensitivity
and disordered motility. We assessed enterochromaffin (EC) numbers and serotonin
transporter (SERT) using National Institute of Health (NIH) female mice studied
for up to 56 days post‐T. spiralis infection. The effects of steroid treatment
