Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) often suffer from gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, but these correlate poorly to established objective GI motility measures. Our aim is to perform a detailed evaluation of potential measures of gastric and small intestinal motility in patients with DM type 1 and severe GI symptoms.

Twenty patients with DM and 20 healthy controls (HCs) were included. GI motility was examined with a 3-dimensional-Transit capsule, while organ volumes were determined by CT scans.

Patients with DM and HCs did not differ with regard to median gastric contraction frequency (DM 3.0 contractions/minute [interquartile range IQR, 2.9-3.0]; HCs 2.9 [IQR, 2.8-3.1];
= 0.725), amplitude of gastric contractions (DM 9 mm [IQR, 8-11]; HCs 11 mm (IQR, 9-12);
= 0.151) or fasting volume of the stomach wall (DM 149 cm
[IQR, 112-187]; HCs 132 cm
[IQR, 107-154];
= 0.121). Median gastric emptying time was prolonged in patients (DM 3.3 hours [IQR, 2.6-4.6]; HCs 2.4 hours [IQR, 1.8-2.7];
= 0.002). No difference was found in small intestinal transit time (DM 5 hours [IQR, 3.7-5.6]; HCs 4.8 hours [IQR, 3.9-6.0];
= 0.883). However, patients with DM had significantly larger volume of the small intestinal wall (DM 623 cm
[IQR, 487-766]; HCs 478 cm
[IQR, 393-589];
= 0.003). Among patients, 13 (68%) had small intestinal wall volume and 9 (50%) had gastric emptying time above the upper 95% percentile of HCs.

In our study, gastric emptying time and volume of the small intestinal wall appeared to be the best objective measures in patients with DM type 1 and symptoms and gastroenteropathy.

Achalasia is a rare disease, but the incidence is increasing recently. Peroral esophageal myotomy (POEM) is an effective treatment. Regurgitation is a common symptom before and after POEM. Our aim is to investigate the factors related to preoperative and postoperative reflux symptoms.

Our study was retrospective. The achalasia patients diagnosed by high-resolution manometry and gastroscopy were divided into reflux group and non-reflux group before and after POEM, respectively. General information, symptoms, POEM information, and manometric results were compared.

(1) Ninety-six of 130 patients had reflux symptoms before POEM. The lower esophageal sphincter pressure (LESP) in the reflux group was significantly higher than the non-reflux group (
= 0.023), while integrated relaxation pressure (IRP) was similar. The reflux group had longer esophagus than the non-reflux group (
= 0.006). Reflux symptoms were not related to subtypes of achalasia. (2) Twenty-five of 84 patients had reflux symptoms after POE.
The gastric acid pocket has an important role in gastroesophageal reflux disease development. In this study, we utilized a novel 8-channel pH monitoring system with sensor intervals of 1 cm on the vertical axis for evaluation of postprandial gastric acid pocket in healthy Japanese adults, as well as the effects of vonoprazan and rabeprazole.

Twelve healthy volunteers without
infection were enrolled. A catheter was inserted transnasally and positioned under X-ray guidance, then postprandial acid pocket formation was monitored over time in a sitting position. Thereafter, acid pocket changes were assessed following administration of vonoprazan (20 mg) or rabeprazole (20 mg).

The gastric acid pocket was successfully measured by use of the present system in 10 cases, while failure occurred in 2 because of inappropriate catheter positioning. Observed acid pockets were visualized with a mean length of 2.2 ± 0.4 channels on the top layer of food contents approximately 20 minutes after finishing a meal. There were some variations for lasting time of the acid pocket. Complete elimination within 3 hours after administration of vonoprazan was noted in all cases. Likewise, following administration of rabeprazole, the acid pocket was eliminated in 7 cases, while acidity was reduced though the pocket remained observable in 3.

s Gastric acid pocket observations were possible using our novel vertical 8-channel sensor catheter. The present findings showed that vonoprazan strongly suppressed acid secretion within a short period, suggesting its effectiveness for gastroesophageal reflux disease treatment.

Esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO) is characterized by elevated integrated relaxation pressure (IRP) and preserved esophageal peristalsis. RSL3 clinical trial The clinical significance of EGJOO is uncertain. This study aim to describe the clinical characteristics of these patients and to find out potential parameters to predict patients' symptom outcome.

Consecutive patients who received high-resolution manometry examination in our hospital in 2013-2019 and met the diagnostic criteria of EGJOO were retrospectively included. Motility and reflux parameters as well as endoscopy and barium esophagogram results were studied and compared. Patients were also followed up to record their treatment methods and symptom outcomes.

A total of 138 EGJOO (accounting for 5.2% of total patients taking high-resolution manometry examination in our hospital) patients were included. Only 2.9% of these patients had persistent dysphagia. A total of 81.8% of EGJOO patients had symptom resolution during follow-up. Patients with persistent dysphagia had significantly higher upright IRP (16.6 [10.3, 19.8] vs 7.8 [3.2, 11.5];
= 0.026) than those without. Upright IRP can effectively distinguished patients with persistent dysphagia (area under curve 0.826;
= 0.026) using optimal cut-off value of 9.05 mmHg.

EGJOO patients with persistent dysphagia and higher upright IRP (median > 9.05 mmHg) needs further evaluation and aggressive management.
