Key result
Diabetic gastroparesis is linked to a ~40% lower gastric emptying rate versus healthy controls.
Why the study?
The study aimed to detect changes in gastric emptying function using gastroenteric contrast-enhanced ultrasonography to provide evidence for diagnosing and treating diabetic gastroparesis.
Does gastroenteric contrast-enhanced ultrasonography detect changes in gastric emptying function in patients with diabetic gastroparesis compared to healthy volunteers?
Case-Control (n=70)
Does gastroenteric contrast-enhanced ultrasonography detect changes in gastric emptying function in patients with diabetic gastroparesis compared to healthy volunteers?
Gastroenteric contrast-enhanced ultrasonography is a simple, noninvasive method that can effectively detect delayed gastric emptying in patients with diabetic gastroparesis.
Supports gastroenteric contrast-enhanced ultrasonography for detecting delayed emptying in diabetic gastroparesis; leaves open routine adoption pending prospective validation.
Objective To detect the changes of gastric emptying function by gastroenteric contrastenhanced ultrasonography and to offer the evidence for the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic gastroparesis.Methods The gastric emptying function was measured by gastroenteric contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in 35 cases of diabetic gastroparesis (DGP,DGP group) and 35 volunteers (control group).The gastric emptying rate(GER) and emptying time(ET) after taking orally gastroenteric ultrasound developer in DGP group were observed and compared with control group.Results The GER in DGP group was lower than that in control group [(27.05 ± 11.32)％ vs.(45.38 ± 15.08) ％] (P ＜ 0.05).The ET in DGP group was longer than that in control group[(102.43 ± 15.76) min vs.(75.31 ± 11.52) min] (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The method of gastroenteric contrast-enhanced ultrasonography is a simple,and repeatable imaging method,which can be used to make a real-time assessment on the gastric dynamic changes,but don't influence gastroenteric function and can provide a dependent and noninvasive examine means for clinical physician to test the gastric emptying function in DGP.

吴俊 et al. (2014) conducted a case-control in Diabetic gastroparesis (n=70). Diabetic gastroparesis vs. Healthy volunteers was evaluated on Gastric emptying rate (GER) (p=<0.05). Diabetic gastroparesis was associated with a significantly lower gastric emptying rate (27.05% vs 45.38%, P<0.05) and longer emptying time compared to healthy volunteers.
