Electroacupuncture for patients with refractory functional dyspepsia: A randomized controlled trial
ConclusionAcupuncture efficaciously improves dyspeptic symptoms in patients with refractory FD. The efficacy of acupuncture in treating refractory functional dyspepsia is unknown. We found that electroacupuncture is efficacious and safe for this population. (Source: Neurogastroenterology and Motility)

Inhibition of ZERO ‐BK by PKC is involved in carbachol‐induced enhancement of rat colon smooth muscle motility
ConclusionOur results provide strong evidence that inhibition of ZERO‐BK but not STREX‐BK channels via PKC pathway is involved in the enhancement of CSM motility by mAChR activation. Besides the activation of BK by an increase in intracellular calcium, inhibition of BK played an important role in GI motility regulation during mAChR activation. BK channels were involved in basic and carbachol‐induced contraction regulation of GI strips. Only ZERO‐BK channels were inhibited by PKC which took part in carbachol‐induced motility enhancement in rat CSM. (Source: Neurogastroenterology and Motility)

Allelic variant in the glucagon ‐like peptide 1 receptor gene associated with greater effect of liraglutide and exenatide on gastric emptying: A pilot pharmacogenetics study
Conclusions & InferencesThe minor A allele of GLP1R (rs6923761) is associated with greater delay in GE T1/2 in response to liraglutide and exenatide. These studies provide data to plan pharmacogenetics testing of the hypothesis that GLP1R (rs6923761) influences weight loss in response to GLP1R agonists. The degree of weight loss is associated with greater delay in gastric‐emptying T1/2 in response to liraglutide and exenatide. The minor A allele of GLP1R (rs6923761) was associated with higher weight loss with liraglutide treatment. These studies provide data to plan pharmacogenetics testing of the hypothesis that GL...

Indirect vs direct assessment of gastric emptying: A randomized crossover trial comparing C ‐isotope breath analysis and MRI
Conclusions & InferencesBT can assess relative emptying differences on group level and collecting breath data for 90 minutes constitutes a lower burden for participants and the research facility. However, BT has severe shortcomings compared to MRI for individual GE assessment. Notably, food matrix effects should be considered when interpreting the results of BT. Our aim was to assess similarity in assessment of gastric emptying between 90‐min 13C breath analysis and MRI among four liquid meals. On group level both measurement methods show similar order of emptying times, however, both t50 times and rankings within ...
