Aim. The purpose of the article is to study the possibilities of MRI diagnosis of postprandial distress syndrome using the drinking test and its correction with mineral water.Materials and methods. Clinical observation is described. Patient A., 24 years old, came to the clinic with symptoms of functional dyspepsia. After a comprehensive examination, the diagnosis of Postprandial Distress Syndrome was established. The capabilities of MRI diagnostics of functional dyspepsia were assessed by drinking test. The study lasted 50 minutes. Scans were performed 5, 13, 20, 35 and 50 minutes after water intake. For the next 4 weeks, the patient ingested the non-carbonated mineral water “Uvinskaya” room temperature 30 minutes before taking a meal of 100 ml in the first 6-7 days, followed by an increase in volume to 200 ml 3 times a day.Results. An MRI study with a drinking test in dynamics showed an increase in the volume of water drunk. When assessing the morphofunctional state of the stomach, differences were revealed at the level of the fundus: before treatment - the wall is tense, after course therapy - relaxed, relaxation accommodation is more pronounced. An acceleration of evacuation of the received water into the duodenum after treatment was also found. The positive dynamics of the state of motor-evacuation function of the stomach is due to the chemical composition of mineral water and the regimen of balneotherapy.Conclusions. Gastric MRI is an informative and safe diagnostic method for Postprandial Distress Syndrome, which allows to evaluate the structural and functional features of the gastroduodenal zone. Drinking test can help in the MRI diagnosis of functional dyspepsia, increasing the information content of the study. The use of drinking mineral waters in postprandial distress syndrome is pathogenetically justified, but requires further research to develop rational balneotherapy regimens.

Introduction. The high prevalence of functional dyspepsia in the population requires detailing the mechanisms of its development with the definition of the role of hormones of the gastrointestinal tract in the development of clinical symptoms.Purpose of the study: to clarify the pathogenetic role of cholecystokinin in functional dyspepsia.Materials and methods. A prospective examination of 90 people aged 22.3 ± 0.17 years, divided into 3 groups, was carried out: patients with postprandial distress syndrome (PDS), patients with epigastric pain syndrome (EPS), practically healthy. The participants of the study were questioned according to the GSRS questionnaire, their anthropometric data, the concentration of cholecystokinin in the blood before and after the drinking test were determined. Statistical processing included calculation of means, their errors, Mann-Whitney U-test for independent samples and Wilcoxon W-test for related samples, Spearman’s rank correlation test.Results. Patients with EPS are characterized by a statistically significantly greater severity of abdominal pain syndrome (4.33 ± 0.51 points) than those suffering from PDS (2.47 ± 0.38 points) and healthy people (2.19 ± 0.22 points). Dyspeptic syndrome is more typical for patients with PDS (2.07 ± 0.12 points) than those with EPS (1.10 ± 0.04 points). Patients with PDS are characterized by higher values of height, hip volume, lean mass, waist to hip ratio than patients with EPS. The concentration of cholecystokinin in the blood on an empty stomach in patients with EPS (213.37 ± 14.35 pg/ml) is statistically significantly higher than in those examined with PDS (129.45 ± 10.44 pg/ml) and healthy people (146.99 ± 5.17 pg/ml). The level of cholecystokinin in the blood after water exercise in patients with PDS increased statistically significantly to 176.14 ± 8.16 pg/ml, with EPS – decreased to 187.98 ± 7.26 pg/ml. Correlations between the magnitude of cholecystokininemia and the main anthropometric data in EPS and PDS are multidirectional.Conclusion. Cholecystokinin plays an important role in the pathogenesis of gastroduodenal motility disorders in patients with functional dyspepsia.

Objective of the study: to clarify the influence of external factors on the symptoms of functional dyspepsia in medical students.Materials and methods: A survey of 105 students aged 20.2 ± 0.18 years was conducted. The survey was conducted on a special gastroenterological questionnaire GSRS. Also in the questionnaire we added questions that characterize postprandial distress syndrome. An additional questionnaire was conducted on issues that allow us to assess the influence of external factors on the functional dyspepsia of students (nutrition, bad habits, constitutional features).Results: During the study revealed: the intensity of manifestations of functional dyspepsia from 1 to 6 courses is reduced. Bad habits like smoking, eating at bedtime, using chewing gum, eating with alcohol have a negative effect on the digestive system, which can be a risk factor for developing functional dyspepsia. A correlation was also found between clinical syndromes: epigastric pain syndrome and reflux syndrome (r = 0.4), diarrhea syndrome (0.37), dyspeptic syndrome (0.5), constipation syndrome (0.37); postprandial distress syndrome and reflux syndrome (0.42), diarrhea syndrome (0.39), dyspeptic syndrome (0.83), constipation syndrome (0.39).Conclusions: The intensity of most manifestations of functional dyspepsia during the transition to older courses decreases, however, 4-year students are more susceptible to postprandial distress syndrome, which can be associated with adverse factors such as smoking, eating food at bedtime, using chewing gum, eating with alcohol.

The aim. To study the influence of anthropometric indicators on the results of a drinking test with water of different temperatures, as well as on the psycho-emotional status.Materials and methods. The study involved 36 students. Conducted: measurement and calculation of basic anthropometric indicators, psychological testing using questionnaires, fasting drinking test with still water of different temperatures for four days with fixing the volume of liquids drunk. All examined students are divided into two groups according to the results of anthropometric examination.Results. The prevalence of overweight among students was 25,0%. Studies have shown the relationship between the main anthropometric indicators, the amount of fluid drunk and the temperature of the water taken, which indicate a violation of the relaxation accommodation of the stomach in individuals with a large amount of adipose tissue and% relative fat content. An increase in visceral hypersensitivity and a progressive deterioration of the relaxation accommodation of the stomach with an increase in the temperature of the received water were established. As a result of the work done, it was found that with an increase in BMI, a deterioration in well-being, an increase in depression, situational and personal anxiety and neurotization are observed. Overweight students with an increase in the volume and mass of total adipose tissue have a deterioration in mood and a greater tendency to depression. It was also proved the presence of a pronounced positive effect of drinking water on the human body with excess body weight, including its psychoemotional state.Conclusion. The results obtained make it possible to form anthropometric images of a person predisposed to disturbed accommodation of the stomach, taking into account gender, body weight and the nature of the distribution of adipose tissue. These studies confirmed a change in psychoemotional status depending on the main anthropometric indicators. The corrected effect of fasting drinking room-temperature water (30 °C) on the psycho-emotional state of overweight people is shown.

Purpose of the study: to clarify the effect of the concentration of motilin in the blood on the clinical symptoms of functional dyspepsia. Materials and methods. A prospective examination of 90 people aged 22,3±0,17 years was carried out, divided into 3 groups: patients with postprandial distress syndrome (PDS), patients with epigastric pain syndrome (EPS), practically healthy. All subjects were questioned according to the GSRS questionnaire, and the concentration of motilin in their blood was determined before and after the drinking test. Statistical processing included the calculation of mean values, their errors, Student’s t-test, Pearson’s correlation test, factor analysis. Results. In patients with PDS, the intensity of abdominal pain (2,47±0,38 points) does not differ from healthy ones (2,19±0,22 points), in patients with EPS it is higher (4,33±0,51 points). Dyspeptic syndrome is more typical for patients with PDS (2,07±0,12 points) than for EPS (1,10±0,04 points). The concentration of motilin in the blood on an empty stomach with PDS (9605,47±167,64 pg/ml) is higher than with EPS (8780,67±232,27 pg/ml). After the drinking test, the level of motilin in the blood of patients with EPS increased to 9367,33±145,78 pg/ml, the PDS decreased to 9323,33±239,04 pg/ml. With PDS, the severity of reflux syndrome directly correlates with the concentration of motilin in the blood. In EPS, the initial level of motilin correlates inversely with the severity of reflux syndrome, constipation syndrome, and the volume of water drunk. After the drinking test, there is an inverse correlation between the level of motilin and the severity of diarrheal and dyspeptic syndromes, and a direct correlation with the intensity of abdominal pain. The initial level of motilin in the blood brings the greatest factor load into the “factor of motor disorders”. Conclusion. The initial level of motilin and its dynamics during water load play an essential role in the formation of the clinical picture of functional dyspepsia.
