Background. Electrogastrography and electroenterography are noninvasive methods for measuring gastric and intestinal electrical activities, respectively. Few studies have measured electroenterography in healthy humans; however, no studies have measured electrogastrography and electroenterography simultaneously. This study was performed to provide basic electrogastrography and electroenterography data for comparison with future studies in patients. Methods. Simultaneous preprandial and postprandial measurements of electrogastrography and electroenterography were taken for 30 min each in 50 healthy volunteers. Power spectrum analysis was performed to calculate dominant frequency, dominant power, and power ratio. Results. Gastric and small intestinal dominant frequencies were not significantly different between preprandial and postprandial periods. In preprandial and postprandial periods, normogastria was seen in 49 (98%) and 44 (88%) patients ( p = 0.063 ), bradygastria in 1 (2%) and 6 (12%) patients ( p = 0.063 ), and tachygastria in 0 (0%) patients, respectively. Dominant power was significantly increased in the stomach (828 [460–3203] μV2 vs. 1526 [759–2958] μV2, p = 0.016 ) and small intestine (49 [27–86] μV2 vs. 68 [37–130] μV2, p < 0.001 ). The power ratio was 1.6 (0.9–2.5) in the stomach and 1.4 (1.0–2.5) in the small intestine. Body mass index showed a negative correlation with the stomach and small intestinal dominant power in preprandial and postprandial periods ( r s = − 0.566 , p < 0.001 ; r s = − 0.534 , p < 0.001 ; r s = − 0.459 , p < 0.001 ; and r s = − 0.529 , p < 0.001 , respectively). The Bristol Stool Form Scale correlated positively with the small intestinal power ratio ( r s = − 0.430 , p = 0.002 ). Conclusion. There was no change in frequency in the stomach or small intestine, but power significantly increased in both the stomach and small intestine.

The application of dynamic in vitro gastrointestinal (GI) models has grown in popularity to understand the impact of food structure and composition on human health. Given that GI motility is integral to digestion and absorption, a predictive in vitro model should faithfully replicate the motility patterns and motor functions in vivo. In this review, typical characteristics of gastric and small intestinal motility in humans as well as the biomechanical and hydrodynamic events pertinent to gut motility are summarized. The simulation of GI motility in the presently existing dynamic in vitro models is discussed from an engineering perspective and categorized into hydraulic, piston/probe‐driven, roller‐driven, pneumatic, and other systems. Each system and its representative models are evaluated in terms of their motility patterns, the key hydrodynamic characteristics concerning gut motility, their performance in simulating the key physiological events, and their ability to establish in vitro–in vivo correlations. Practical Application: The review paper provided useful information in the design of dynamic GI models and the simulation of human gastric and small intestinal motility which are important for understanding food and health.
AimsThis pilot study aimed to evaluate domperidone in the treatment of Chinese patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) diagnosed according to Rome IV criteria, including identification of FD subtypes that potentially respond better to domperidone.MethodsThis study was conducted at hospitals in China from Aug 2018 to Jul 2020. The study consisted of a 1‐week screening phase and a 2‐week double‐blind treatment phase. Participants were randomized to domperidone 10 mg or matching placebo tablets three times daily for 14 days. The primary endpoint was overall treatment effect (OTE) response rate after 2 weeks of therapy.ResultsThe study enrolled 160 patients, 80 in each group. The OTE response rate after 2 weeks therapy was numerically higher for domperidone (60.7%) compared with placebo (46.0%) (relative risk [RR], 1.318; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.972‐1.787). The OTE response rates after 2 weeks by FD subtype for domperidone and placebo were 60.3% vs 54.9% for postprandial distress syndrome (PDS) (RR, 1.098; 95% CI, 0.750‐1.607) and 60.6% vs 35.2% for overlapping PDS‐epigastric pain syndrome (EPS) (RR, 1.722; 95% CI, 0.995‐2.980). Adverse events were reported by seven patients in the domperidone group and twelve patients in the placebo group. None of the adverse events in the domperidone group were serious or unexpected.ConclusionsDomperidone showed a positive pattern on OTE response rates after 2 weeks therapy compared to placebo in patients with FD as well as in subtypes of PDS and overlapping PDS‐EPS.
