UNLABELLED An animal model of gastric emptying may have use in the study of gastric physiology and pharmacoscintigraphy. The pig has anatomy and physiology similar to that of humans. Our aim was to develop a model of gastric emptying in the pig. It was not possible to perform this study in conscious pigs; therefore, an anesthetic model was developed. METHODS Fifteen studies were performed on 4 pigs (age, 2-6 mo; weight, 20-100 kg). After acclimatization and training, pigs were fasted overnight before the study. Pigs were anesthetized using inhaled isoflurane without the use of injected premedication agents. An orogastric tube was inserted for the administration of a liquid meal, which consisted of (99m)Tc-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid either in water (nonnutrient) or with dextrose (nutrient meal). The pig was laterally positioned to enable right lateral dynamic acquisition to be performed. Anesthesia was maintained at 2% +/- 0.5% isoflurane in 4 studies and 0.8% +/- 0.5% in 11 studies (4 nutrient, 7 nonnutrient). RESULTS With 2% +/- 0.5% isoflurane, there was delayed gastric emptying with a mean 50% emptying time (+/-SEM) of 141 +/- 14 min. With 0.8% +/- 0.5% isoflurane, the liquid meal emptied in an exponential manner similar to that of humans, with mean 50% emptying times (+/-SEM) of 30 +/- 7 min (nutrient) and 31 +/- 4 min (nonnutrient). CONCLUSION The results indicate that high-dose anesthesia inhibits gastric emptying, but with low-dose anesthesia a useful pig model of liquid gastric emptying can be developed.

Sodium hydrosulfide: A new potential candidate for treating delayed gastric emptying in diabetes

Introduction: Sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) has shown to enhance the gastric emptying rate in normal rats but till now its effect on gastric emptying of food stuffs in diabetic rats was not investigated. Therefore, this study designed to determine the role of an oral administration of NaHS on gastric emptying rate (GER) of glucose, albumin and olive oil in gastroparetic and normal rats. Methods: T...

Scintigraphic evaluation of gastric emptying after greater curvature plication in comparison with sleeve gastrectomy

Introduction: Laparoscopic gastric plication (LGP) is a relatively new restrictive bariatric procedure that emerged to avoid the problems and to reduce the cost of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. In this study we present the initial short-term outcome of LGP and its effect on gastric emptying and compare it with the results of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). <stro...

Comparative Study of Protective Effects of Salbutamol and Beclomethasone against Insulin Induced Airway Hyper-reactivity on Isolated Tracheal Smooth Muscle of Guinea Pig

Inhalational insulin was withdrawn from the market due to its potential to produce airway hyper-reactivity and bronchoconstriction. So the present study was designed to explore the acute effects of insulin on airway reactivity of guinea pigs and protective effects of salbutamol and beclomethasone against insulin induced airway hyper-responsiveness on isolated tracheal smooth muscle of guinea pi...
