Abstract
-
Gastric peptic ulcer operation is designed to reduce gastric secretion, of gastric acid and pepsin enough to control the peptic ulcer diathesis and also to have least complications after operation which are related to alterations of gastric motility and emptying rate. The author studied the physiologic effects of proximal gastric vagotomy with pyloroplasty on the gastric secretion, gastric acid, gastric pepsin, gastric motility and gastric emptying rate by means of the ballon-physiographic method through gastric fistula. In this exprimental studies, 2 kinds of animal i.e. dogs and cats were used. 15 dogs were used which were divided into 5 groups i.e. gastrostomy for control, proximal gastric vagotomy, truncal vagotomy only and truncal vagotomy with gastric pyloroplasty. Cats were used 25 ones which were divided into 3 groups i.e. gastrostomy for control, proximal gastric vagotomy and truncal vagotomy and following results and conclusion were obtained. 1. Important role on the gastric secretion, gastric acid, gastric pepsin, gastric motility, gastric emptying and the relationship between the intragastric pressure and volume.2. Both proximal gastric vagotomy and subtotal gastrectomy(Billroth II) made a marked reduction on the gastric secretion, gastric acid and gastric pepsin than that of control group but were similar to control group on the gastric motility and gastric emptying rate. 3. Truncal vagotomy alone caused marked reduction on gastric secretion, gastric acid and gastric pepsin and showed remarkable slowness on gastric motility and gastric emptying rate. 4. The wave of contraction and motility index in duodenum were more higher than that gastric body and antrum and antral contraction is higher than that of gastric body in control groups. 5. Pacesetter potential is formed by intrinsic myogenic phenomena and is related to motor activity and gastric emptying. 6. Truncal vagotomy with pyloroplasty hastened the gastric emptying rate of liquid meals and rate of emptying of solid meals was slightly faster than that of control groups. 7. Emptying of liquid meal is controlled by intragastric transmural pressure and emptying of solid meal is controlled by antral contraction. 8. The vagus distributed on the stomach was divided into cholinergic excitory fibers and noncholinergic or nonadrenergic inhibitory fibers. As gastric vagal inhibitory fibers were cut when vagotomy was done, pyloroplasty was must be done.
