    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les prostaglandines et la sérotonine sont des substances vaso-actives qui exercent un effet important sur le tube digestif. Toutes deux inhibent la sécrétion gastrique d'acide (bien que la sérotonine stimule la sécrétion de pepsine). Toutes deux stimulent la motilité intestinale et transforment l'activité d'absorption de la muqueuse intestinale en sécrétion d'eau et d'électrolytes. Leurs effets sur les fonctions biliaires et pancréatiques ne sont pas encore bien définis. Les prostaglandines semblent agir surtout par un effet paracrine et la sérotonine est principalement un neurotransmetteur (neurocrine). Mais il est clair que, même dans des conditions normales, ces deux substances peuvent agir comme agents humoraux. Nous avons, par exemple, montré que la sérotonine joue un rôle physiologique comme inhibiteur humoral de la sécrétion gastrique d'acide. Cependant, les effets de ces substances sont les plus nets chez les malades atteints de syndromes diarréiques d'origine humorale. La sérotonine (et des indoles de la même famille, en particulier le 5-hydroxytryptophane) semble clairement étre cause de diarrée dans le syndrome carcinoïde. Nos études récentes suggèrent que le diagnostic peut être mieux établi par la mesure des concentrations circulantes de sérotonine immunoréactive que par l'excrétion urinaire de 5-HIAA et qu'une partie de la sérotonine circulante échappe à l'inactivation hépatique. Ainsi, de volumineuses tumeurs intestinales peuvent causer un syndrome carcinoïde en l'absence de métastases hépatiques et des quantités importantes de sérotonine sont produites par des tumeurs diarrhéogènes non carcinoïdes, telles que carcinome médullaire de la thyroïde et tumeurs associées au syndrome WDHA. Bon nombre de tumeurs dont l'origine est probablement la crête neurale—carcinome médullaire de la thyroïde, tumeurs associées au syndrome WDHA, par exemple—secrètent des quantités importantes de prostaglandines, en particulier de PGE2. La réponse clinique de certains malades atteints de ces types de tumeurs aux inhibiteurs de la synthèse des prostaglandines, en particulier l'indométhacine, suggère que les prostaglandines jouent un rôle dans l'étiologie de ce syndrome diarrhéogène.
    Notes: Abstract Prostaglandins and serotonin are vasoactive compounds with profound effects on the gastrointestinal tract. Both cause inhibition of gastric acid secretion (although serotonin stimulates gastric pepsin secretion), stimulation of intestinal motility, and conversion of small intestinal mucosa from absorption to secretion of water and electrolytes. Their effects on pancreatic and biliary function are still not clear. Although prostaglandins appear to elicit their effects primarily by a paracrine mode of action, and serotonin is primarily a neurotransmitter (neurocrine), it is clear that even under normal conditions both can function as humoral agents. For example, we have shown that serotonin plays a physiologic role as a humoral inhibitor of gastric acid secretion. However, the effects of these agents become more pronounced in patients with humorally mediated diarrheogenic syndromes. Serotonin (and related indoles, particularly 5-hydroxytryptophan) has been firmly implicated as a cause of diarrhea in patients with carcinoid syndrome; our recent studies suggest that the diagnosis can be more effectively made by measuring circulating immunoreactive serotonin concentrations than urinary excretion of 5-HIAA; that some circulating serotonin escapes hepatic inactivation and, thus, large intestinal tumors can cause carcinoid syndrome in the absence of hepatic metastases; and that large amounts of serotonin are produced by some noncarcinoid diarrheogenic tumors, including medullary carcinomas of the thyroid and tumors associated with the WDHA syndrome. A large number of tumors of probable neural crest origin, including medullary thyroid carcinoma, carcinoids, and tumors associated with the WDHA syndrome, secrete large amounts of prostaglandins, particularly PGE2. The clinical response of at least some of the patients harboring these tumors to inhibitors of prostaglandin synthesis (particularly indomethacin) suggests that prostaglandins play a role in the etiology of these diarrheogenic syndromes.

    Notes: Abstract George F. Laidlaw first described a pancreatic abnormality now known to be the most common cause of persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in infants in 1938 (1, 2). The term he coined, nesidioblastosis, is derived from the Greek words for “islets” (nesidia) and “germ” (blastos) (3). It accurately describes the characteristic feature of nesidioblastosis, islet cells differentiating and budding from ductal epithelium. In adults, hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia is rarely caused by nesidioblastosis and is usually caused by insulinoma or exogenous insulin treatment (4, 5). The first case series of adult nesidioblastosis was reported by Harness et al in 1981 (6). Since this case series of six patients, there have been only sporadic literature reports of adult nesidioblastosis, documenting fewer than 20 cases of adult nesidioblastosis over the past 15 years (3, 7-10). This paper presents an adult patient with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia due to nesidioblastosis and provides a guide to the diagnosis and treatment of this rare disorder in the adult population.

    Notes: Abstract The purpose of this study was to define the existence of an intestinal phase of pancreatic polypeptide (PP) release and to assess whether it was mediated by a cholinergic-sensitive mechanism. Four conscious dogs with 20-cm upper intestinal Thiry-Vella loops and chronic gastric fistulas were used. The Thiry-Vella (T-V) loops were perfused with 10% liver extract or 0.154 M NaCl at a rate of 1 ml/min for 120 min. In a separate experiment, 240 ml of 10% liver extract was infused over a 5-min period into the stomach via the gastric fistula. Basal PP levels were 29±4 fmol/ml. The gastric infusion of liver extract caused a significant increase of plasma PP levels to a peak of 215±29 fmol/ml (P〈0.05). The perfusion of the T-V loop with liver extract significantly increased plasma PP levels over basal to a peak of 73±14 fmol/ml (P〈0.05). This value was significantly less than that released by gastric infusion of liver extract (P〈0.05). Perfusion of the loop with NaCl did not significantly alter basal plasma PP levels (P〉0.05). PP release by perfusion of the T-V loop with liver extract was abolished by atropine intravenous bolus (0.2 mg/kg). Although the combination of bethanechol (100 μg/kg/hr intravenous) and liver extract consistently increased the plasma levels of PP, the values did not attain statistical significance when compared to liver extract alone (P〉0.05). The data presented are thus consistent with the hypothesis that there is an enteric phase of pancreatic polypeptide release and that this enteropancreatic reflex is mediated by a cholinergic-sensitive mechanism which might be hormonal or neural.

    Notes: Abstract This study was initiated to evaluate mechanisms of release of immunoreactive substance P into the peripheral circulation and to determine whether these mechanisms are subject to cholinergic modulation. In conscious dogs, a high-protein meal significantly increased plasma concentrations of immunoreactive substance P from basal levels of 13.7±1.8 pg/ml to a peak of 20.1±2.8 pg/ml at 30 min after which they returned to baseline. Prior atropinization (200 mg/kg) abolished this response and lowered the plasma levels to a nadir of 2.2 pg/ml at 20 min. Similarly, infusion of bombesin (17 ng/kg/min) increased peripheral venous substance P levels by 768±155 pg-min/ml for 120 min, whereas after prior treatment with atropine, bombesin released no significant amounts of this peptide (−10±134 pg-min/ml). The data support the concept that substance P release is under cholinergic control.

    Notes: Abstract Five dogs with chronic doubly cannulated proximal jejunal Thiry-Vella loops were studied to evaluate the role of luminal and circulating serotonin on intestinal intraluminal pressure quantitated using computer-assisted planimetry. Luminal perfusion with serotonin (50 μg/min) for 60 min resulted in a significant increase in luminal pressure. Upon cessation of infusion, intraluminal pressures rapidly returned to basal. While 4% lidocaine had no effect on basal intraluminal pressure, the drug almost abolished the pressure response to luminal serotonin. In contrast, atropine lowered mean baseline intraluminal pressures and also markedly inhibited the response to subsequent perfusion with serotonin. These data suggest that the motility response to intraluminal serotonin is neurally mediated. Intravenous serotonin infusion (3.3 μg/kg/min), which raised circulating levels of the amine to those noted after a standard meal, increased intraluminal pressures to a maximum similar to those noted after luminal perfusion; after cessation of infusion, pressures rapidly returned to basal. These observations support a physiologic role for serotonin in the modulation of intestinal motility.
