title: [Gastro-pyloro-duodenal motor cooperation in patients with dyspepsia].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the role of the midgastric transverse band(MTB) and gastro-pyloro-duodenal motility in functional dyspepsia (FD) and diabetic dyspepsia (DD).
  
  
  METHODS
  Healthy subjects, patients with FD and DD participated in the study. Of them, 65 subjects received radionuclide gastric emptying, 48 complex ultrasonograph, and 35 gastro-pyloro-duodenal manometry.
  
  
  RESULTS
  (1) MTB was (7.01 +/- 1.31), (3.39 +/- 0.21) cm in FD and DD, which was significantly wider than that in HS group [(2.42 +/- 0.16) cm, P < 0.01, P < 0.001]. (2) The half gastric emptying time (t 1/2) in FD and DD were prolonged, gastric remained rate at 120 min increased, the gastric emptying velocity reduced when compared with HS. (3) The gastric occlusive and non-occlusive peristaltic contractions could be clearly shown under ultrasonograph. The percentage of emptying circle > 10 seconds was reduced in FD and DD. (4) There was decreased number of migrating motor complex phase III in FD and DD, when compared with HS.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  MTB is an area with physiological function, which affects intra-gastric food distribution. Patients with FD and DD showed delayed gastric emptying associated with decreased gastric motor activity and antro-pyloro-duodenal in-cooperative function. There may be different pathogenesis in FD and DD. Further study needs to be performed.
