Chronic duodenal stasis and the state of cavity intestinal microbiota

Abstract

Objective: to study the motor-evacuation function of the gastrointestinal tract in chronic duodenal stasis and the conjugation of their disorders with excessive bacterial growth.Materials and methods. Thirty patients with chronic duodenostasis (DS) aged 37.1 ± 13.8 years were examined. Anamnestic and physical data, results of X-ray and endoscopic examinations, intracavitarymanometry were used in the verification of DS. The determination of excess bacterial growth (IDB) in the small intestine was carried out by analyzing the results of the hydrogen respiratory test (VDT). The assessment of the motor function of the stomach and duodenum was carried out using the gastroenteromanometer GEM-01 “Gastroskan-GEM”. For conducting short-term pH-measurement, the Gastroskan-5M device was used.Results. All patients with DS presented dyspeptic complaints, revealed asthenic syndrome. In the postprandial period, impaired propulsive motility in all sections of the digestive tube was also expressed, which proves a 1.5-fold decrease in fasting urea, jejunum and ileum by 1.5 times in both phases of the study (p& <0.001). In patients with DS, IDB was detected in 22 (78.6%) cases. Among all examined patients in 19 (67.9%) patients, IDB was associated with increased bacterial activity in the small intestine. Colon dysbiosis was detected in 3 (10.7%) patients (χ2 = 7.093, p = 0.008). A correlation analysis between the hydrogen content in exhaled air and the rhythmic coefficient of the large intestine showed a reliable strong feedback (r& = 0.65, p = 0.015).Conclusion. A comprehensive study of the motor-evacuation function of the digestive system and the state of enteric microbiocenosis expands the possibilities of pathogenetically substantiated therapy for diseases of the organs of the gastroduodenobiliary pancreatic zone.
