Abstract:
We previously showed that gastric distension inhibits the somatic nociceptive flexion RIII reflex. To explore further the viscerosomatic interactions, we tested in the present study the effects of rectal distensions on RIII reflexes. Rapid and slow-ramp rectal distensions were performed in 10 healthy volunteers with an electronic barostat. The RIII reflex was continuously recorded from the lower limb during both types of distension and from the upper limb during rapid distensions. The visceral sensations were scored on a graded questionnaire. Rapid distensions facilitated the RIII reflex recorded from the lower limb, but at the highest distension level, facilitation was followed by inhibition. Slow-ramp distension induced gradual inhibition of the RIII reflex, which correlated with both distension volume and visceral sensation. RIII reflex recorded from the upper limb was also inhibited by rapid rectal distensions. Reflex inhibitions were probably related to the activation of pain modulation systems. One plausible explanation for the facilitatory effects, observed only at the lower limb, is the convergence of rectal and reflex afferents at the same levels of the spinal cord. The differential effects of rapid and slow-ramp distensions suggest the activation of two distinct populations of mechanoreceptors by these two modes of distension.

Abstract:
Conscious sensations in response to gut distensions may be modulated by temporospatial interactions among different stimuli. This study investigated whether symptoms induced by gastric distension may be modified by hydrochloric acid (HCl) gastric infusion and meal ingestion. In nine healthy subjects, fixed pressure (isobaric) and fixed volume (isovolumetric) distensions were performed during continuous (4 ml/min) intragastric saline or HCl infusion, during fasting and after meal ingestion, until the maximal distension step defined as discomfort or a predefined maximal volume. During fasting isobaric distensions, the maximal distension step was significantly decreased during HCl compared with saline. The intragastric volumes were not significantly different, but the wall tension was significantly lower during HCl than saline. HCl increased gastric compliance. Meal ingestion relaxed the stomach and decreased the pressure at the maximal distension step during saline, but HCl did not further decrease it compared with fasting. During isovolumetric distensions, HCl also increased gastric compliance, but in both fasted and fed states it did not modify the maximal distension steps. In conclusion, sensations in response to gastric isobaric distensions, but not to isovolumetric distensions, are influenced by gastric acid infusion and meal ingestion. The effects of HCl might be related to a sensitization of mucosal mechanoreceptors.

Abstract:
Colonic transit is slowed in patients with disordered rectal evacuation, but the mechanism of this phenomenon is unclear. Our objective was to investigate rectocolonic inhibitory reflexes in humans to provide potential insight into patients with obstructed defecation. In 30 healthy subjects, a barostat-manometric assembly recorded colonic tone and phasic activity in the descending colon during rectal distension and recorded rectal tone during colonic distension. Phasic distensions were 8, 16, and 32 mmHg above balloon operating pressure, and staircase inflations were comprised of balloon inflation then deflation in 2-mmHg increments at 30-s intervals from 0 to 36 mmHg. Colonic balloon volumes increased to a similar extent during phasic rectal distensions 8, 16, and 32 mmHg above operating pressure, reflecting reduced colonic tone; balloon volumes also increased and phasic pressure activity decreased during staircase rectal distensions. In contrast, rectal balloon volume declined, reflecting increased tone during phasic and staircase colonic distensions. Thus rectal distension inhibited colonic motor activity, indicative of a viscerovisceral inhibitory reflex.

Abstract:
With the use of intraluminal manometry in alpha-chloralose-anesthetized opossums, distal esophageal and lower esophageal sphincter responses to prolonged midesophageal balloon distension were compared with those evoked by single transient distensions, vagal efferent stimulation, and swallowing. Balloon inflation caused sphincteric relaxation that recovered during small volume but persisted during large volume-prolonged distension. The esophageal body was either quiescent or exhibited nonperistaltic contractions during prolonged distension. Balloon deflation induced non-peristaltic esophageal and sphincteric contractions as well as further sphincter relaxation. Responses to prolonged large and small volume balloon distension resembled those evoked by high- and low-frequency vagal efferent stimulation, respectively. However, vagal-stimulated "on" contractions were not seen with balloon distension, and atropine did not modify excitatory responses occurring during or after prolonged distension. Although transient distension induced peristaltic esophageal contractions, the peristaltic velocity was faster than swallow-induced peristalsis. With transient distension, atropine prolonged the latency to contraction in the mid but not the distal smooth muscle segment and thus increased peristaltic velocity. These studies demonstrate that 1) esophageal distension evokes a wide spectrum of lower esophageal sphincter and esophageal body response, and 2) cholinergic neurons play a minimal role in distension-induced responses of the distal esophageal circular muscle below the distending balloon.

Abstract:
We previously showed that slow-ramp rectal distensions induce graded inhibitions of the somatic nociceptive RIII reflex recorded from the lower limb, which correlated with both distension volume and visceral sensation. In contrast, rapid phasic rectal distensions induced facilitatory or biphasic effects (i.e., facilitations followed by inhibitions) depending on the level of distension. To examine the role of mucosal and serosal rectal mechanoreceptors in these viscerosomatic interactions, we analyzed, in six healthy volunteers, the effects of both types of rectal distension on the RIII reflex after topical application of lidocaine or placebo administered in a double-blind and crossover fashion. Inhibitions of the RIII reflex induced by both slow-ramp and rapid distensions were strongly reduced after administration of lidocaine but not after placebo. In contrast, facilitations of the RIII reflex observed during the initial phase of rapid distensions were not modified after lidocaine or placebo applications. These results suggest that inhibitions, but not facilitations, of the nociceptive RIII reflex triggered by rectal distensions depend preferentially on the activation of superficial mucosal receptors. This reflexologic technique might thus represent an interesting tool for studying the role of the different rectal mechanoreceptors involved in visceral sensations.

Abstract:
We studied the effects of involuntary and voluntary contraction of the diaphragm on esophagogastric junction (EGJ) pressure during esophageal distension in healthy human volunteers. The EGJ pressure was monitored using a Dent sleeve device. Along with the pressure we concurrently monitored diaphragm electromyogram (EMG) using intra-esophageal bipolar electrodes that were placed on the nonpressure sensing surface of the sleeve device. Graded esophageal distensions were performed by graded inflations of a 2-cm-diameter balloon that was positioned 7 cm above the EGJ. The graded esophageal distensions caused a graded increase in the amplitude of lower esophageal sphincter (LES) relaxation (end-expiratory EGJ pressure). In a majority of the subjects, esophageal distension had no effect on spontaneous inspiratory EGJ pressure increase and diaphragm EMG. During sustained LES relaxation of greater than 70% induced by sustained esophageal distention, graded voluntary contractions of the diaphragm induced proportional increases in the EGJ pressure and diaphragm EMG. The EGJ pressure and diaphragm EMG were similar during diaphragmatic contraction both before and during esophageal distension. During a maximal and sustained diaphragm contraction, esophageal distension had no effect on the EGJ pressure. We conclude that there are two distinct sphincteric mechanisms at the EGJ, the LES and crural diaphragm, and they respond differently to distension of the distal esophagus.

Abstract:
Distal gastric distension may contribute to meal-related dyspeptic symptoms. This study's aims were to determine the effects of distinct nutrient classes on symptoms induced by distal gastric distension and their dependence on 5-hydroxytryptamine3 (5-HT3) receptors. Nine healthy subjects rated pain, nausea, and bloating induced by isobaric distal gastric distensions (6–24 mmHg) during duodenal lipid, carbohydrate, protein, or saline perfusion after treatment with placebo or the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist granisetron (10 μg/kg iv). Distensions produced greater pain, nausea, and bloating with lipid at 1.5 kcal/min compared with saline ( P≤ 0.02), primarily because of greater distal gastric volumes at each distending pressure. In contrast, carbohydrate and protein had no significant effect. At 3 kcal/min, lipid increased symptoms through a volume-independent as well as a volume-dependent effect. Granisetron did not affect symptom perception or gastric pressure-volume relationships. In conclusion, isobaric distal gastric distension produces more intense symptoms during duodenal lipid compared with saline perfusion. Symptom perception during distal gastric distension is unaffected by 5-HT3 receptor antagonism.

Abstract:
Spinal afferent neurons detect noxious and physiological stimuli in visceral organs. Five functional classes of afferent terminals have been extensively characterized in the colorectum, primarily from axonal recordings. Little is known about the corresponding somata of these classes of afferents, including their morphology, neurochemistry, and electrophysiology. To address this, we made intracellular recordings from somata in L6/S1 dorsal root ganglia and applied intraluminal colonic distensions. A transgenic calcitonin gene-related peptide-α (CGRPα)-mCherry reporter mouse, which enabled rapid identification of soma neurochemistry and morphology following electrophysiological recordings, was developed. Three distinct classes of low-threshold distension-sensitive colorectal afferent neurons were characterized; an additional group was distension-insensitive. Two of three low-threshold classes expressed CGRPα. One class expressing CGRPα discharged phasically, with inflections on the rising phase of their action potentials, at low frequencies, to both physiological (<30 mmHg) and noxious (>30 mmHg) distensions. The second class expressed CGRPα and discharged tonically, with smooth, briefer action potentials and significantly greater distension sensitivity than phasically firing neurons. A third class that lacked CGRPα generated the highest-frequency firing to distension and had smaller somata. Thus, CGRPα expression in colorectal afferents was associated with lower distension sensitivity and firing rates and larger somata, while colorectal afferents that generated the highest firing frequencies to distension had the smallest somata and lacked CGRPα. These data fill significant gaps in our understanding of the different classes of colorectal afferent somata that give rise to distinct functional classes of colorectal afferents. In healthy mice, the majority of sensory neurons that respond to colorectal distension are low-threshold, wide-dynamic-range afferents, encoding both physiological and noxious ranges.

Abstract:
The determinants of the lower esophageal sphincter relaxation response to esophageal distension have not previously been systematically examined in humans. In this study, 14 healthy subjects were tested using a manometry catheter with a sleeve device and three balloons spaced 5 cm apart. Subjects had up to five distensions with each balloon at four different diameters and two different durations of inflation. The results indicated that 1,170 separate distensions were available for analysis. Sphincter relaxation occurred more frequently (P < 0.005) with larger balloon diameters, yet occurred in only 84% of inflations at the largest diameter. Sphincter relaxation was more often observed with the proximal balloon (P < 0.005) during longer distensions (P < 0.05) and when esophageal contractions occurred above the balloon (P < 0.005). Once sphincter relaxation occurred, its magnitude was essentially independent of balloon site and diameter, distension duration, and the presence of proximal contractions. In conclusion, even large balloon distensions do not uniformly produce or maintain lower esophageal sphincter relaxation. Sphincter relaxation is more likely with proximal esophageal distension. The association of sphincter relaxation with vagally mediated proximal contractions suggests vagal modulation of this response.

Abstract:
Functionally specific vagal afferents were stimulated by gastric balloon distension in unanesthetized rats, followed by double c-fos/dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH) immunocytochemistry, to identify second-order neurons in the dorsal vagal complex. Continuous and repeated phasic distension with similar volumes produced similar numbers and patterns of c-fos expression, with most of the activated neurons in the medial and commissural nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) and dorsal motor nucleus (DMNX). Larger distension activated significantly more neurons in all responsive areas but there was no differential effect. In most NTS subnuclei and the DMNX, a small (3-5%) proportion of gastric distension-activated neurons was DBH-immunoreactive (DBH-IR), and this proportion did not significantly change with type of distension. With continuous and repeated small distensions, 10-12% and, with the large distension, 22-30% of all DBH-IR neurons expressed c-fos. The results suggest a large degree of convergence between rapidly adapting mucosal receptors and slowly adapting tension receptors, but not between low- and high-threshold tension receptors, and a relatively minor role of catecholaminergic second-order neurons in the dissemination of distension signals in the brain.

O tema dessa dissertação pertence ao estudo da história política e se situa no contexto da “distensão e abertura política no Brasil”. Nesse contexto analisamos as clivagens partidárias existentes na Arena e no MDB baianos, bem como a relação entre esses partidos. Para esse fim destacamos os discursos e debates dos deputados estaduais na Assembléia Legislativa. Analisamos também os períodos que antecedem as eleições de 1974, 1976 e 1978, os resultados eleitorais e a sua repercussão ou relação com as divisões partidárias. Buscamos, assim, traçar um perfil não propriamente dos líderes políticos baianos, mas sim dos seus grupos partidários, distinguindo as características das divisões do MDB e da Arena, além de narrar o processo que antecede a reorganização institucional ocorrida em 1979, com o final do bipartidarismo. The theme of this dissertation belongs to the study of political history and is situated in the context of "distension and opening policy in Brazil”. In this context we analyze the partisan divisions that exist in the Arena and the MDB Bahia, and the relationship between these parties. To this end we emphasize the speeches and debates of state representatives in the Legislative Assembly. We also analyze the periods prior to the elections of 1974, 1976 and 1978, the elections results and its impact or relation to partisan divisions. We seek, therefore, not exactly to draw a profile of political leaders from Bahia but of their party groups, distinguishing the characteristics of MDB and Arena divisions, as well as narrating the historical process prior to the institutional reorganization occurred in 1979, with the end of bipartisanship.

Abstract:
Bloating and distension remain important and intrusive manifestations of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Although much of previous literature has used the the terms bloating and distension interchangeably, epidemiological data suggest that (i) distension is seen more commonly in IBS with constipation (IBS-C) compared with IBS with diarrhoea (JBS-D) patients (ii) bloating and distension seem to "correlate predominantly but not exclusively in IBS-C.

Resumo: Introdução: Atualmente, a histeroscopia é o procedimento padrão ouro para descrever a morfologia da cavidade uterina e a presença de lesões. Para a realização do procedimento é necessária a distensão da cavidade uterina. A distensão pode causar desconforto, dor e às vezes desistência do procedimento. Hoje em dia, duas técnicas de distensão têm sido utilizadas para a histeroscopia diagnóstica: com gás carbônico ou com coluna líquida (solução salina). Objetivos: Comparar a dor da paciente e a opinião do operador em relação à qualidade da imagem durante o procedimento, assim como a taxa de complicações do exame, relacionando-os com o tempo de duração do mesmo e características clínicas dessas mulheres, utilizando-se o gás carbônico (C02) ou solução salina como distensores da cavidade uterina. Sujeitos e método: Todas as mulheres após a menopausa que vieram encaminhadas da rede básica de saúde do município de Campinas ou região e dos ambulatórios de especialidades do CAISM/UNICAMP para realização de histeroscopia, no período de 07 de fevereiro de 2011 a 27 de fevereiro de 2012, foram convidadas a participar do estudo. Selecionou-se 140 pacientes que preencheram os critérios de inclusão e aceitaram participar do estudo. Foram então submetidas ao exame histeroscópico no ambulatório de Histeroscopia do DTG/CAISM/UNICAMP. A escolha da técnica para cada grupo foi feita por meio da randomização realizada através do programa SAS (distribuição de probabilidade uniforme) versão 9.2. A dor foi analisada pelo pesquisador, logo após a realização do exame, aplicando-se a escala visual analógica de dor (EVA). Os outros dados foram colhidos através de um questionário feito durante o exame e após o mesmo. Análise dos dados: Para a análise dos dados: dor, tempo de procedimento e qualidade da imagem, considerou-se um poder de 80% com um nível de significância de 5%. Foram utilizados teste t de Student, teste exato de Fisher, teste do qui quadrado e o teste não paramétrico de Mann Whitney, para comparação das médias de variáveis quantitativas. Resultados: Setenta e duas pacientes constituíram o grupo do CO2 e 68, o grupo da solução salina. A idade média, o tempo de menopausa e o índice de massa corporal (IMC) foram semelhantes nos dois grupos. O antecedente de cesárea foi maior no grupo do líquido (1,1±1,2) que no do gás (0,5±0,8) (p=0,0046). O escore médio de dor referido foi igual nos dois grupos, sendo (5,5±2,3 e 5,8±3,0), no grupo do CO2 e solução salina, respectivamente. O tempo total do exame foi maior no grupo da solução salina (3,5±1,57min) que com CO2 (2,6±1,55min) (p=0.0002). Quase a totalidade das pacientes aceitariam realizar o exame novamente (84,7% vs 89,7%, nos grupos de CO2 e líquido, respectivamente) (p=0.37). No grupo com líquido foi maior a taxa de falha por estenose de canal cervical (16,2%) que no grupo com gás (5,6%) (p=0.04). A qualidade da imagem foi considerada satisfatória em 100% e 96,3%, nos grupos com gás e líquido, respectivamente (p=0.37). Conclusões: A dor referida e a qualidade da imagem durante a histeroscopia diagnóstica foram iguais quando se utillizou CO2 ou líquido. A taxa de falha por estenose cervical, o antecedente de cesárea e o tempo total de procedimento foram maiores no grupo do líquido
Abstract: Presently hysteroscopy has been a "gold-standard" procedure to describe the morphology of the uterine cavity and the presence of lesions. The distension of the uterine cavity is necessary for the procedure and may cause discomfort, pain and sometimes its interruption. Two distension techniques have been utilized for the diagnostic hysteroscopy: one with carbon dioxide and another with liquid column (saline solution).Objectives: To compare the patient's pain and the surgeon's opinion in relation to the quality of the image during the procedure as well as the rate of complications of the test, relating them to their duration and clinical characteristics of the patients utilizing either carbon dioxide (CO2) or saline solution as distension media. Subjects and Method: All the post-menopausal women sent from health services of Campinas and neighboring cities and CAISM UNICAMP for the hysteroscopy procedure from February 7,2011 to February 27,2012 were invited to participate of the study. 140 patients who met the inclusion criteria were selected and underwent an office hysteroscopy at the DTG/CAISM/UNICAMP center. The technique was chosen by SAS program randomization distribution of uniform probability version 9.2 and reported to the patient afterwards. The pain was analyzed by the researcher soon after the procedure applying the visual analogue scale (VAS). The other data were collected by means of a questionnaire during and after the procedure. Data Analysis: For the analysis of pain, time of procedure and image quality an 80% power with 5% significance level was considered. The student't test, the exact Fisher's test, the square qui test and the Mann Witney test were utilized to compare the averages of the quantitative variables. Results: 72 and 68 patients comprised the CO2 saline solution groups, respectively. The average age, date of the last period and mass body index (MBI) were similar in both groups. The previous cesarean section was higher in the saline solution group (1.1±1.2) then in the CO2 group (0.5±0.8) ( p= 0.0046) . The pain average score was the same in both groups, i.e. (5.5±2.3) and (5.8±3.0) in the CO2 and saline solution groups, respectively. The total time of the procedure was longer in the saline solution group (3.5±1.57 minutes) than in the CO2 group (2.6±1.55 min) ( p= 0.0002). Almost all patients agreed on undergoing the procedure again ( 84.7% vs 89.7% in the CO2 and saline solution groups respectively)(p=0.37). The rate of failure by cervical stenosis was higher in the saline solution group (16.2%) than in the group CO2 group (5.6%)(p=0.04).The image quality was satisfactory (100% in the saline solution group and 96.3% in the CO2 group(p=0.37).Conclusions: Both pain and image quality during the diagnostic hysteroscopy were the same. The rate of failure by cervical stenosis, the cesarean section and the total time of the procedure were higher in the saline solution group

Abstract:
The difference in mechanical properties between grafts and host arteries is a complicating factor for vascular bypass surgery and can cause patho-physiological problems after implantation [1–7]. Diffuse and focal intimal hyperplasia, one of the key factors of vein graft failure, has been attributed to over-distension and diametric irregularities of the veins when exposed to the arterial circulation [8]. The external reinforcement of saphenous vein grafts with open-mesh knitted Nitinol structures is suggested to prevent over-distension, smooth the luminal diameter, and address the mismatch in mechanical properties of vein graft and host vessel. The objectives of this work were: 1) development of Finite Element (FE) models of knitted Nitinol structures to assess mechanical behaviour and structural properties, e.g. vascular compliance, and 2) proof of feasibility of the FE method developed for structural design optimisation of the Nitinol mesh.
