Abstract
AIM: To investigate the influence of colonic bypass with ileorectal anastomosis on plasma levels of substance P (SP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in rats with slow transit constipation (STC).
METHODS: A total of 72 rats were used in the study, of which 10 were included in normal control group, and 62 were used to induce STC by intragastric administration of gradually increasing doses of rhubarb suspension. STC was successfully induced in 57 rats, and 12 of them were used as model controls and killed before operation. The remaining 45 rats were randomized into operation group (n = 35) and recovery group (n = 10). Plasma levels of SP and VIP were measured in each group.
RESULTS: SP: Compared to the normal control group, plasma levels of SP decreased significantly in the model group (63.364 ± 4.211 vs 81.032 ± 4.237, P < 0.01). Plasma levels of SP were lower in the recovery group than in the model group (50.138 ± 5.283 vs 63.364 ± 4.211, P < 0.01), but were higher in the operation group than in the recovery group (58.165 ± 6.592 vs 50.138 ± 5.283, P < 0.05). Compared to the normal control group, plasma levels of VIP increased significantly in the model group (32.152 ± 6.204 vs 25.469 ± 4.523, P < 0.01). Plasma levels of VIP were lower in the recovery group than in the model group (25.217 ± 3.517 vs 32.152 ± 6.204, P < 0.05), but showed no significant difference between the normal control group and recovery group.
CONCLUSION: Colonic bypass with ileorectal anastomosis significantly improves symptoms and reduces the further deterioration of colonic function in STC rats.
