title: [Antro-pyloro-bulbar contractibility in diabetics studied by cineradiography. Effect of erythromycin].
abstract: We studied antropyloroduodenal contractility in diabetics and the effect of erythromycin IV (100-500 mg) using the non invasive Boiron cineradiographic method analysis. Fourteen diabetics and 22 controls were examined. Four hours after a standard liquid-solid meal, patients drank 250 mL baryum solution. Fluorographic plates (10 x 10 cm) were taken every 2 s during 30 s. Semi-automatic data processing analysis allowed to measure motility parameters including antral (CA) and bulbar (CB) contractility indexes; pyloric opening index (OP), gastric (FG) and bulbar (FB) frequencies. Three types of pylorus behaviour patterns were define: A and B related to antropyloric and antropyloroduodenal coordination respectively and N without coordination. In diabetics, CA, OP and FG were decreased vs controls (P < 0.01) (CA: 65.5 +/- 6.8 vs 83.1 +/- 2.4%; OP: 60.9 +/- 8.7 vs 84.8 +/- 1.9%; FG: 2.42 +/- 0.14 vs 3.08 +/- 0.04 c/min) and antropylorbulbar coordination altered (N was predominant; no bulbar cycles at 3/min). Antral hypocontractility was correlated with autonomic neuropathy. After erythromycin, radiological parameters returned to normal values (CA = 83.0 +/- 2.4%; OP = 86.0 +/- 4.7%; FG = 3.0 +/- 0.16 c/min) and coordination improved type N disappeared and FB = 3 c/min (58%). Cineradiographic analysis is simple, able to show antropylorobulbar contractile abnormalities, to study pharmacological effects, and in diabetics is capable of studying improvement of motility parameters with erythromycin.
