Gastroenterology 1998, 114:724-736. Small-intestinal myoelectrical activity and intraluminal pressure changes in isolated intestinal tissue and in vivo movement of intraluminal contrast under fluoroscopy were studied in normal mice and in mutant W/Wv mice, which lack ICCs. Synchronized electrical and pressure waves and normal peristaltic activity were seen in control mice, whereas seemingly random electrical and pressure waves and nonpropagative motor activity were seen in mutant mice. The demonstration of abnormal in vivo motor function in addition to abnormal properties of isolated intestine in mutant mice strongly supports a central role for ICCs as physiologically important pacemaker cells.

Verapamil treatment following infection with Trichinella spiralis, a widely used model of intestinal inflammation, reduced the frequency of giant migrating contractions and diarrhea without affecting the inflammatory response. This study suggests that L-type calcium channels are involved in the induction of giant migrating contractions and diarrhea in the setting of T. spiralis-induced inflammation.

Am J Physiol 1997, 274:G447-455. Production of inflammatory mediators during ricin-induced inflammation was blocked by intraluminal treatment with the sensory neurotoxin capsaicin. These results suggest that sensory afferents may contribute to alterations of motility in inflammatory states through release of inflammatory mediators.

27. 27 Soffer EE, Thongsawat S: Small bowel manometry: short or long recording sessions? Dig Dis Sci 1997, 42:873-877. Small-bowel manometry studies span several hours at minimum, during which fasting and postprandial motility is recorded. In this study, findings during the first 3 hours of the fasting period and first 2 hours of the postprandial period of long recording sessions (at least 15 hours) agreed with the findings of the full study in 81 of 91 cases. This suggests that shorter recording sessions agree with longer sessions in the majority of cases, but the authors suggest monitoring at least 6 to 7 hours of fasting activity to improve diagnostic accuracy.

Paraneoplastic symptoms may be the presenting complaints of patients with underlying malignancy. This series explores the symptoms and ultimate oncologic diagnoses of 162 patients with type 1 antineuronal nuclear antibodies, markers often associated with paraneoplastic syndromes. In 19 patients, the initial presentation was with pure gastrointestinal symptoms, serving as a reminder that occult malignancy may present as a dysmotility syndrome.

Gut 1998, 42:235-242. Great interest has been generated in the potential role of gut motor dysfunction in functional bowel diseases, but no discrete manometric patterns have been associated with illness or symptoms. In this study, ambulatory small bowel manometric studies revealed a high prevalence of dysmotility in 14 patients with motility-like dyspepsia, but no specific patterns discriminated patients from healthy subjects and no correlation was found between symptoms and motility patterns, indicating that the potential relationship between dysmotility and functional symptoms remains to be clarified.

Although symptoms in Crohn's disease are classically attributed to mucosal dysfunction, dysmotility may also play an important role. In this investigation, 26 of 35 patients with Crohn's disease displayed evidence of small bowel dysmotility; however, the role of these abnormalities in symptom pathogenesis remains uncertain.
