Purpose. To examine the effects of body position and time after feeding on gastric residuals in low birth weight infants(LBW). Methods. A repeated measures design was conducted. Twenty LBW infants being fed via indwelling nasogastric tubes were randomly assigned to one of 5 different position orderings. In each position, gastric residuals were measured at 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 minutes after feeding. Results. In comparisons of gastric residuals with position and time, the main effects of position and time were statistically significant (F=5.038, p=0.001; F=429.763, p < 0.001, respectively), but the interaction between position and time was found not to be significant. In pairwise comparisons, the gastric residuals were more reduced in the right anterior oblique and prone positions compared with the left lateral position (p < 0.05) and the differences across time periods were significant (p < 0.001). Conclusions. The body position after feeding has a significant affect on gastric residuals over time in LBW infants. The right anterior oblique or prone position is recommended rather than left lateral position after feeding. Knowledge of the proper position and the pattern of gastric emptying over time after feeding may lead to the development of evidence-based nursing care.

Anorexia, nausea, and vomiting are one of the most frequent symptoms in viral hepatits patients. These may be due to poorly detoxified substances by dysfunctioned hepatocytes or by gastritis, but the pathophysiology is not totally understood. The symptoms interfere with adequate nutrient intake and are managed by metoclopramide, which accelerates gastric emptying. Thus delayed gastric emptying may well be a contributing factor to such symptoms. To determine such a relationship, we measured gastric emptying time in 11 normal subjects,9 acute (AVH), and 12 chronic B viral hepatitis (CVH) patients. All were males with a mean age of 23 years. An egg was labeled with 0.5 mCi of $^{99m}Tc-sulfur$ colloid, fried, then eaten between 2 slices of bread with 100 cc of water. Anterior and posterior images were taken at 20 minute intervals over a 2 hour period. A geometric mean of activity pertaining to the gastric region was measured, and $T_{1/2}$ was calculated from the time activity curve. $T_{1/2}$ for normal the group was $57.8{\pm}6.3$ minutes while that for the AVH and CVH group was $58.2{\pm}8.2$ (p=0.40) and $64.1{\pm}10.5$ (p=0.09), respectively. There was 1 AVH Patient and 4 CVH patients with prolonged $T_{1/2}$. Anorexia and nausea was seen in 71% and 46% of the patients, respectively. 80% and 60% of the patients with prolonged $T_{1/2}$ had anorexia and nausea, respectively.

Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) commonly occurs after Nissen fundoplication in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease. Since the understanding of its pathogenesis is insufficient, an effective method of management has not yet been suggested. The authors report a case of a 16-year-old girl with DGE after laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication and treated with intravenous injection of low dose erythromycin.

There are many drugs reproted to show unusual pharmacokinetic behavior by producing a significant secondary peak in the plasma concentration-time curve after oral administration. The drugs are ranitidine, cimetidine, acetaminophen, aspirin, furosemide, bumetanide, piretanide, veralipride, sobrerol, penicillamine and doxycycline etc. Enterohepatic circulation-, two absorption site-, biphasic gastric emptying-, tissue deposition- and multi-fraction absorption theories have been suggested for the mechanisms of this phenomenon. Here, the theories were reviewed and critisized for their validity as a possible mechanism of the multiple peak phenomenon.

Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a prevalent idiopathic upper gastrointestinal (GI) disorder characterized by diverse symptomatology including epigastric pain or discomfort, postprandial fullness, and early satiety. Although its pathophysiological mechanisms have not yet been fully established, the available studies suggest that the etiology of FD is invariably multifactorial. Benachio-F$^{(R)}$ (BF) is a proprietary liquid formulation of 7 herbal extracts that has been proposed to address this multifactorial etiology using multi-drug phytotherapy. The pharmacological effects of BF, in comparison with those of two other herbal products (Whalmyungsu$^{(R)}$; WM and Iberogast$^{(R)}$; IB) were evaluated in rats. In a laparotomy-induced rat model of delayed GI transit, BF significantly accelerated the delayed gastric emptying caused by morphine, apomorphine, and cisplatin, and also significantly increased mean gastric transit, as compared to the control animals. BF markedly increased gastric accommodation in rats and produced higher gastric volume values than did the control treatment. The effects of BF were generally comparable or superior to those of WM and IB in these models. Furthermore, BF significantly stimulated biliary flow, as compared to the control treatment. These results indicated that BF might have great potential as an effective phytotherapeutic agent capable of reducing GI symptoms and increasing quality of life in FD patients.

Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a gastrointestinal disorder with diverse symptoms but no structural or organic manifestations. Benachio-F^® (herein named 'BF-1') is an over-the-counter liquid digestive formulated with multiple herbal extracts, which has been reported to improve symptoms of FD. A total two experiments were conducted. First, we examined whether BF-1 can modulate the progression of FD through two experimental rat models. A total of three doses (0.3x, 1x, 3x of the human equivalent dose) were used. In the gastric emptying model, both 1x (standard) or 3x (3-fold-concentrated) BF-1 enhanced gastric emptying was compared with that of vehicle-treated animals. In a feeding inhibition model induced by acute restraint stress, treatment with 1x or 3x BF-1 led to a similar degree of restoration in food intake that was comparable to that of acotiamide-treated animals. Among the constituents of BF, fennel is known for its choleretic effect. Thus, we next investigated whether a novel BF-based formula (named 'BF-2') that contains an increased amount of fennel extract (3.5-fold over BF-1), has greater potency in increasing bile flow. BF-2 showed a superior choleretic effect compared to BF-1. Furthermore, the postprandial concentration of serum secretin was higher in animals pretreated with BF-2 than in those pretreated with BF-1, suggesting that the increased choleretic effect of BF-2 is related to secretin production. Our results demonstrate that BF-1 can modulate the pathophysiological mechanisms of FD by exerting prokinetic and stress-relieving effects, and that BF-2 has a better choleretic effect than BF-1.

Objectives: This study examines the effect of Sagunja-tang on functional dyspepsia (FD) through a systematic review and meta-analysis of a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Methods: A search for RCTs that tested the effect of Sagunja-tang on functional dyspepsia was conducted in Medline, Embase, PubMed, CENTRAL, CiNii, CNKI, NDSL, RISS, OASIS, and KISS databases on November 8, 2020, with no limit on the year of publication. A meta-analysis was performed by synthesizing the findings, including total efficiency, clinical symptom score, myosin light-chain kinase (MLCK) level (pg/mL, and gastric half-emptying time (min). RevMan 5.4.1 software was used for data analysis. The quality of the literature was evaluated using Cochrane's risk of bias (RoB) tool. Results: A total of 14 RCTs met the selection criteria. As a result of the meta-analysis, the treatment group had higher total efficacy and MLCK levels (gastric antrum, jejunum) than the control group, and the clinical symptom score and gastric half-emptying time were lower. However, due to the low quality of the included RCT and the small sample size, the results may be slightly biased.

목 적 : 신생아의 식도 특히 하부 식도 괄약근의 발달은 해부학적으로 미숙하기 때문에 하부 식도 괄약근의 수축력이 낮아 신생아에서 역류와 구토가 잘 일어난다. 식도는 15개월이 되어야 성숙하게 되므로 그 동안 역류와 구토의 빈도가 적도록 돌보아 주어야 한다. 역류와 구토의 빈도를 줄이는 방안으로 섭취한 음식이 위에 머므르는 시간을 단축시킬수 있다면 도움이 될 것이므로 수유의 종류와 수유 후 자세에 따른 위 배출 시간의 영향을 알아 보기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법: 신생아를 대상으로 초음파검사를 이용하여 수유 종류(모유 및 분유)에 따른 위 배출 시간을 비교하고, 수유 후 자세(앙와위 및 복와위)에 따른 위 배출 시간을 비교해 보았다. 수유 종류에 따른 비교에서 대상아는 모유수유아 15명, 분유수 유아 15명이었고 수유 후 자세는 앙와위를 취하였다. 수유 후 자세에 따른 비교에서는 분유 수유를 하였고 앙와위 15명, 복와위 18명을 대상으로 하였다. 위 전정부 면적은 상장간막 동맥과 대동맥이 지나는 위치에서 5 MHz 컨벡스 초음파 탐촉자로 종단스캔을 하여 초음파 기계에 내장된 컴퓨터에 의해 구하였다. 위 배출 시간은 금식 후 4시간에 위 전정부 면적의 기본 크기를 측정하고 수유 후 즉시, 그 후 30분마다 측정하여 기본 크기로 돌아올 때까지 추적하여 측정하였고 기본 크기로 두번 계속 측정되면 측정을 마쳤으며 처음 기본크기로 돌아온 시간을 위 배출 시간으로 정하였다. 결 과: 1) 수유 종류에 따른 위 전정부 면적 및 위 배출 시간의 비교; (1) 모유수유아를 앙와위로 누인 경우의 위 전정부 면적은 금식 시 $0.59{\pm}0.13\;cm^2$이었고 수유 후 즉시는 $0.70{\pm}0.17\;cm^2$이었으며 수유 후 30분에 최고치에 달하여 $0.82{\pm}0.19\;cm^2$이었고 금식 시 면적의 1.39배였다. 위 배출 시간은 $76.0{\pm}20.02$분이었다. (2) 분유수유아를 앙와위로 누인 경우의 위 전정부 면적은 금식 시 $0.52{\pm}0.08\;cm^2$이었고 수유 후 즉시는 $0.68{\pm}0.10\;cm^2$이었으며 수유 후 30분에 최고치에 달하여 $0.85{\pm}0.14\;cm^2$이었고 금식 시 면적의 1.63배였다. 위 배출 시간은 $96.0{\pm}20.28$분이었다. 3) 모유수유아 및 분유수유아를 앙와위로 누인 경우의 위 전정부 면적은 금식 시와 수유 후 경과시간에 따른 차이가 없었으나 위 배출 시간은 모유수유아가 분유수유아 보다 유의하게 빨랐다(p<0.05). 2) 수유 후 자세에 따른 위 전정부 면적 및 위배출 시간의 비교; (1) 분유수유아를 앙와위로 누인 경우의 위 전정부 면적은 금식 시 $0.52{\pm}0.08\;cm^2$이었고 수유 후 즉시는 $0.68{\pm}0.10\;cm^2$이었으며 수유 후 30분에 최고치에 달하여 $0.85{\pm}0.14\;cm^2$이었고 금식 시 면적의 1.63배였다. 위 배출 시간은 $96.0{\pm}20.28$분이었다. (2) 분유수유아를 복와위로 누인 경우의 위 전정부 면적은 금식 시 $0.54{\pm}0.06\;cm^2$이었고 수유 후 즉시는 $0.63{\pm}0.13\;cm^2$이었으며 수유 후 30분에 최고치에 달하여 $0.81{\pm}0.12\;cm^2$이었고 금식 시의 1.50배였다. 위 배출 시간은 $85.0{\pm}22.43$분이었다. (3) 분유수유아에서 수유 후 자세를 앙와위 및 복와위로 취한 경우 위전정부 면적은 금식 시와 수유 후 경과에 따른 차이는 없었으나 수유 후 30분에는 앙와위로 누인 경우 $0.85{\pm}0.14\;cm^2$이었고 복와위로 누인 경우 $0.81{\pm}0.12\;cm^2$로 앙와위인 경우가 컸다(p<0.01). 위 배출 시간은 두 군간에 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 결 론: 식도의 기능이 미숙하고 위의 연동운동이 덜 발달된 미숙아나 신생아는 역류와 구토의 빈도를 줄이고 경구 영양을 잘 진행해 나가기 위해서 위 배출 시간이 빠른 모유수유를 적극 권장하는 것이 좋을 것으로 사료된다. 수유 후 자세는 위 배출 시간에 영향을 주지는 않으나 역류나 구토가 일어났을 때 흡인의 가능성이 적어 안전하고, 편안히 잠잘 수 있으며 전통적으로 선호하는 자세를 취하면 적절할 것으로 사료된다.

To investigate the mechanism of smooth muscle contraction induced by emptying of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ stores, we measured isometric contraction and $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ influx. $CaCl_2$ increased $Ca^{2+}$ store emptying- induced contraction in dose-dependent manner, but phospholipase C activity was not affected by the $Ca^{2+}$ store emptying-induced contraction. The contraction was inhibited by voltage-dependent $Ca^{2+}$ channel antagonists dose dependently, but not by TMB-8 (intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ release blocker). Both PKC inhibitors (H-7 and staurosporine) and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (genistein and methyl 2,5-dihydroxycinnamic acid) significantly inhibited the contraction, but calmodulin antagonists (W-7 and trifluoperazine) had no inhibitory effect on the contraction. The combined inhibitory effects of protein kinase inhibitors, H-7 and genistein, together with verapamil were greater than that of each one alone. In $Ca^{2+}$ store-emptied condition, $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ influx was significantly inhibited by verapamil, H-7 or genistein but not by trifluoperazine. However combined inhibitory effects of protein kinase inhibitors, H-7 and genistein, together with verapamil were not observed. Therefore, this kinase pathway may modulate the sensitivity of contractile protein. These results suggest that contraction induced by emptying of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ stores was mediated by influx of extracellular $Ca^{2+}$ through voltage-dependent $Ca^{2+}$ channel, also protein kinase C and/or tyrosine kinase pathway modulates the $Ca^{2+}$ sensitivity of contractile protein.
