RESUMEN

The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of pancreatic carcinoma on gastric motility and autonomic system activity in patients before surgery. Patients with histologically confirmed pancreatic cancer were studied. Our results show that gastric dysrrhythmias are continuously present in patients with pancreatic cancer both with and without gastric emptying delay. Antral distribution of meal suggests the presence of impaired proximal gastric response to meal due to diminished autonomic nervous system function and impaired myoelectric gastric activity in patients with pancreatic cancer.

RESUMEN

The function of the sodium iodide symporter (Na(+)/I(-), (NIS), a membrane protein that mediates iodide transport into cells, is the best described in the thyroid cells. NIS is also found in mammary cells during lactation and in breast carcinoma cells. The aim of this study was evaluation of incidence and grade of NIS expression in invasive ductal breast cancer. Immunohistochemistry using a panel of antibodies against NIS was carried out in surgical paraffin-embedded tissue obtained from 50 patients with invasive ductal breast carcinoma. NIS expression was found in 45 (90%) cases. The demonstration of NIS expression in breast carcinoma cells may provide a novel approach to its diagnosis and treatment.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To estimate gastric emptying rate in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients, with or without indwelling dialysate, and to evaluate if there is an association between gastric motility and nutritional status. DESIGN: Single-center cross-sectional study. SETTING: Peritoneal Dialysis Unit, Medical Faculty, Jagiellonian University Hospital, Krakow, Poland. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 20 end-stage renal disease patients [11 F, 9 M; mean age 50.1 +/- 11 years; treated with CAPD for median 13.5 (2-61) months] were studied. All patients were nondiabetic and had no comorbidity that might influence gastric motility; nor were they receiving any prokinetic drugs. Gastric emptying rate was estimated with dynamic abdominal scintigraphy, started immediately after complete ingestion of a standard 200-kcal solid meal injected with 99mTc-labeled colloid, activity 40 MBq. Scintigraphy was performed at the rate of 23 images in 4-minute intervals for 92 minutes. Two consecutive procedures--with and without PD fluid--were performed at weekly intervals. As nutritional parameters, protein catabolic rate (PCR) and lean body mass (LBM) (based on urea and creatinine kinetics, respectively), body mass Index (BMI), and serum albumin were measured. RESULTS: All analyzed gastric emptying parameters, measured with or without dialysis fluid, were markedly prolonged in patients compared to values accepted as normal in the local scintigraphy unit. Gastric emptying half-time (T(1/2)) and percent of initial activity in minute 46 and in minute 92 were 60.5 +/- 25.0 minutes, 57.19% +/- 17.5%, and 33.8% +/- 20.9% with a full peritoneal cavity, and 63.9 +/- 28.2 minutes, 59.1% +/- 23.9%, and 33.9% +/- 24.3% with an empty peritoneal cavity. The T(1/2) and percent of initial activity after 46 and 92 minutes for healthy subjects were 39 +/- 9 minutes, 45% +/- 11%, and 15% +/- 6%, respectively. T(1/2) without dialysis fluid revealed a negative correlation with LBM and BMI values (r = -0.5, p < 0.05, and r = -0.56, p < 0.01; respectively). Patients with dialysate-free T(1/2) > 40 minutes were characterized by significantly lower serum albumin level compared to subjects with T(1/2) < 40 minutes (39.2 +/- 2.9 vs 42.9 +/- 3.6 g/L, p < 0.05). The values of all gastric emptying parameters measured for an empty abdomen were prolonged in subjects with BMI < 25 kg/m2. No difference was found between patients with and without PD fluid. CONCLUSIONS: Gastric emptying is markedly impaired in CAPD patients compared to healthy subjects. However, the presence of dialysate does not influence it significantly. Gastric emptying rate was negatively associated with the nutritional status of treated subjects. This association can be demonstrated when gastric motility is measured with an empty peritoneal cavity.
