Abstract
En 中文
Luminal infection by the noninvasive tapeworm, H. diminuta, alters rat small intestinal myoelectric activity. The significance of continuity between small intestinal enteric nervous system (ENS) and that of both the stomach/pylorus and colon/caecum regarding the induction of tapeworm-altered myoelectric patterns was evaluated. A total of 32 rats were implanted with four serosal electrodes placed at sites in the duodenum through the mid-jejunum. Sixteen of the 32 rats underwent intestinal transections and anastomoses at both the duodenum and ileum. After recording myoelectrical activity of both normal and transected intestines, eight rats from each group (normal and transected) were infected with H.diminuta. Phase III frequency, duration of the migrating myoelectric complex (MMC), slow wave frequency, percentage of slow waves associated with spike potentials and the occurrence of the the two tapeworm-initiated myoelectric patterns, repetitive bursts of action potentials (RBAP) and sustained spike potentials (SSP), were measured. In infected rats, the frequency of the RBAP and SSP electric patterns were significantly reduced by the double transection. Intestinal transection did not affect the other changes caused by infection, such as decreased MMC phase III frequency and percentage of slow waves associated with spike potentials. In conclusion, a small intestinal ENS in continuity with other segments of the GI tract is required to generate maximal numbers of tapeworm-induced SSP and RBAP myoelectric activity in the small intestine of the rat.
