Studies on papillary function and effect of prifinium bromide and other antispasmodics on motility of the papillary region (sphincter of Oddi) in humans.

We determined endoscopically the motility of the papillary region in humans, using a pressure sensor devised in our department. The subjects were 184 patients with various diseases. Prifinium bromide and four other antispasmodics were given to 60 of the 184 patients, and their effects were investigated. In 41 (85%) of the 48 patients with chronic gastritis, regular wave patterns were noted. In 35 (85%) of the 41 patients with diseases of the biliary tract and papillary region, in nine (82%) of the 11 patients with pancreatic diseases, and in six (67%) of the nine patients with liver diseases, irregular wave patterns were observed. It was postulated that a high incidence of papillary dysfunction accompanies biliary and pancreatic diseases. Additionally, it was concluded that prifinium bromide has as potent an effect on motility of the papillary region as does a massive dose (40 mg) of hyoscine N-butylbromide.

Studies on the functional disturbances of the papillary region using a pressure sensor.

Investigation of the duodenal papilla and the bile duct by EPCG is essential to diagnose the organic and functional disturbances of the papillary region. We have developed a pressure sensor based on a semi-conductor in order to obtain a more objective observation of pathological conditions in the papillary region. Using a duodenofiberscope, the pressure sensor was placed on the tip of canula, and it was inserted into the papilla and measured the movements of the papillary region. The pressure sensor method was carried out in 18 normal subjects and 69 patients with various diseases. As the result of analysis of wave forms in normal subjects, regular wave form patterns were obtained. In about 71% of cases with biliary diseases irregular wave forms were observed. Irregular wave form patterns were also observed 40% of cases with cholecystolithiasis, while irregular patterns were revealed in 86% cases with choledocholithiasis. The pressure sensor method during for duodenofiberscopy is important diagnostic procedure for the determination of functional disturbances in the papillary region.

An evaluation of endoscopic pancreatocholangiography in surgical patients.

Retrograde pancreatocholangiography was successful in 110 or 83 per cent of 133 patients suspected of having pancreatobiliary disease. Cannulation of the pancreatic duct was successful in 95 per cent of the patients suspected of having disorders of the pancreas. In 84 per cent, the biliary tree was successfully visualized among the group suspected of having disorders of the biliary tract. Dilatation of the main pancreatic duct in association with cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis was observed in 33 and 72 percent, respectively.
