Predictive value of routine esophageal high-resolution manometry for gastro-esophageal reflux disease.

van Hoeij FB1, Smout AJ, Bredenoord AJ.
Neurogastroenterology and motility : the official journal of the European Gastrointestinal Motility Society.Neurogastroenterol Motil.2015 Apr 30. doi: 10.1111/nmo.12570. [Epub ahead of print]
BACKGROUND: Using conventional manometry, gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) was associated with a reduced lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure and impaired peristalsis. However, with a large overlap between GERD patients and controls, these findings are of limited clinical relevance. It i

Correlation between electric potential and peristaltic behavior in Physarum polycephalum.

Zheng Y1, Jia R1, Qian Y1, Ye Y1, Liu C2.
Bio Systems.Biosystems.2015 Apr 17;132-133C:13-19. doi: 10.1016/j.biosystems.2015.04.005. [Epub ahead of print]
Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is a model species of eukaryotic microorganisms for studying amoeboid movement. Plasmodium's natural movements are characterized by the rhythmic back-and-forth streaming of cytoplasm peristalsis, which results in the directed locomotion of plasmodium, and the peri

Intracellular Ca2+ release from endoplasmic reticulum regulates slow wave currents and pacemaker activity of interstitial cells of Cajal.

Zhu MH1, Sung TS1, O'Driscoll K1, Koh SD1, Sanders KM2.
American journal of physiology. Cell physiology.Am J Physiol Cell Physiol.2015 Apr 15;308(8):C608-20. doi: 10.1152/ajpcell.00360.2014. Epub 2015 Jan 28.
Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) provide pacemaker activity in gastrointestinal muscles that underlies segmental and peristaltic contractions. ICC generate electrical slow waves that are due to large-amplitude inward currents resulting from anoctamin 1 (ANO1) channels, which are Ca(2+)-activated Cl
