Deneysel koşullar bir dizi genelinde vivo gastrointestinal (Gİ) hareketliliğinde rekor besin homeostasisin için gerekli yatan normal ve patofizyolojik süreçleri anlamak için güçlü bir araç olmaya devam deneysel çalışmalar.

Bu tekniklerin her biri literatürde daha önce ele alınmış özgü avantajları ve dezavantajları vardır.

Son zamanlarda, bir minyatür arter basıncı kateter başvuru ve doğrulama sıçanlar ve fareler 3 gastrik kasılma izlenmesi için cerrahi olmayan bir yöntem önerir bildirilmiştir. Bir orogastrically yerleştirilen basınç dönüştürücü etkin invaziv cerrahi prosedürleri kaçınarak gastrointestinal fonksiyon üzerindeki karıştırıcı değişkenleri ortadan kaldırır iken, böyle bir yaklaşım anestezi hazırlıkları için uygundur. Ayrıca, görsel rehberlik eksikliği mide özel bölgeleri içinde transdüktörün tutarlı yerleştirilmesine izin vermez. Bu nedenle, bu uygulama, oniki parmak bağırsağı içinde, nispeten sert bir tel ile bağlanmış transdüser görselleştirme yana mide ya da kalın bağırsak, ince bağırsak ya da sınırlı bir seçenek değildir. Benzer şekilde, biyomanyetik alternatif akım biosusceptometry (ACB) tekniği GI daralma analizi 4 için valide edilmiştir. ACB tekniği noninvaziv ap sağlarkenmide-bağırsak kasılmaları ölçmek için yaklaştığınızda, ACB olması ile, benzer bir sınırlama GI bölgesinin spesifik bölgelerinin kesin bir kaydını izin vermez sindirilen manyetik algılama ortamın kullanılmasıdır uğrar.

fabrication and implantation of miniature dual-element strain gages for measuring in vivo gastrointestinal contractions in rodents.

Gastrointestinal dysfunction remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Indeed, gastrointestinal (GI) motility in health and disease remains an area of productive research with over 1,400 published animal studies in just the last 5 years. Numerous techniques have been developed for quantifying smooth muscle activity of the stomach, small intestine, and colon. In vitro and ex vivo techniques offer powerful tools for mechanistic studies of GI function, but outside the context of the integrated systems inherent to an intact organism. Typically, measuring in vivo smooth muscle contractions of the stomach has involved an anesthetized preparation coupled with the introduction of a surgically placed pressure sensor, a static pressure load such as a mildly inflated balloon or by distending the stomach with fluid under barostatically-controlled feedback. Yet many of these approaches present unique disadvantages regarding both the interpretation of results as well as applicability for in vivo use in conscious experimental animal models. The use of dual element strain gages that have been affixed to the serosal surface of the GI tract has offered numerous experimental advantages, which may continue to outweigh the disadvantages. Since these gages are not commercially available, this video presentation provides a detailed, step-by-step guide to the fabrication of the current design of these gages. The strain gage described in this protocol is a design for recording gastric motility in rats. This design has been modified for recording smooth muscle activity along the entire GI tract and requires only subtle variation in the overall fabrication. Representative data from the entire GI tract are included as well as discussion of analysis methods, data interpretation and presentation.

Fabrication and Implantation of Miniature Dual-element Strain Gages for Measuring In Vivo Gastrointestinal Contractions in Rodents.

The in vivo measurement of smooth muscle contractions along the gastrointestinal tract of laboratory animals remains a powerful, though underutilized, technique. Flexible, dual element strain gages are not commercially available and require fabrication. This protocol describes the construction of reliable, inexpensive strain gages for acute or chronic implantation in rodents.
