Methods: Patients participated in the study were assigned to different groups in accordance with different surgical. In the tubular gastric surgery group: 18 males, 7 females, median age 57 years old; in the conventional surgery group: 19 males and 5 females, median age 63 years old; in the healthy volunteers control group: (gender, age matched or similar with the other two groups) 18 males and 7 females with a median age of 60 years old. All the patients accepted gastrointestinal CEUS

examination 3 months postoperatively. We dynamically observed the reflux episodes within 10 min and compared among the three groups. Results: reflux episodes 15 ± 4.5 times in the traditional surgical group within 10 minutes;

in the tubular stomach surgery group, reflux number was 8 ± 2.6 within 10 min; within the normal control group, 10 min reflux number was 3 ± 1.2. there was a significant difference between selleck screening library traditional surgical group and control group (15 ± 4.5, 3 ± 1.2, P < 0.01); the tubular gastric surgery group compared with control group, there was also a significant difference (8 ± 2.6, 3 ± 1.2, P < 0.05); between the conventional surgical selleckchem group and the tubular gastric surgery group, there was also a significant difference (15 ± 4.5, 8 ± 2.6, P < 0.05). The difference between traditional surgical group and control group is the most significant one. The outcome is consistent with 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring by some scholars. Conclusion: the observation of gastrointestinal dynamics change by gastrointestinal CEUS was conducted in the physiological state. We assess the gastroesophageal reflux conditions by the number of reflux episodes in physiological state. There is certain value for the Gastrointestinal CEUS in the diagnosis of postoperative gastroesophageal reflux disease. Key Word(s): 1. reflux disease; 2. Tubular gastroplasty; 3. CEUS; 4.

With regard to GERD-associated manifestations in the oral cavity, dental erosion, halitosis, non-specific burning sensation, mucosal ulceration/erosion, loss of taste and both xerestomia and increased salivary flow rate have been reported.
