lüll Review article: gastrointestinal sensory and motor disturbances in inflammatory bowel disease - clinical relevance and pathophysiological mechanisms De Schepper HU; De Man JG; Moreels TG; Pelckmans PA; De Winter BYAliment Pharmacol Ther 2008[Apr]; 27 (8): 621-37BACKGROUND: It is well known that inflammation has a profound impact on the neuromuscular apparatus of the gastrointestinal tract during the inflammatory insult and in periods of remission, at the site of inflammation and at distance from this site. The importance of this interaction is illustrated by the higher prevalence of functional gut disorders in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. AIMS: To document the epidemiological and clinical significance of functional alterations of gut motility and sensitivity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and to formulate potential pathophysiological mechanisms. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Functional gut disorders occur frequently in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, both during inflammatory episodes and in periods of remission, and have a major impact on their quality of life. The clinical manifestations of these motility and sensitivity disorders vary and are often difficult to treat, mainly because therapeutic guidelines and specific diagnostic tests to distinguish inflammatory bowel disease from functional gut disorders are lacking. Chronic bowel inflammation results in a complicated interaction between neuroendocrine serotonin-predominant cells of the mucosa, inflammatory cells (particularly mast cells) in the submucosa, the intrinsic and extrinsic innervation and the muscular apparatus including the interstitial cells of Cajal. The outcome of this interaction is a perturbation of gastrointestinal motor function, both locally and at distance from the site of inflammation and during both acute inflammation and remission.|Gastrointestinal Motility[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Immune System Diseases/complications[MESH]|Inflammatory Bowel Diseases/diagnosis/*etiology/physiopathology[MESH]|Intestines/innervation[MESH]|Mast Cells/physiology[MESH]|Nervous System Diseases/complications[MESH]|Serotonin/physiology[MESH] |
