Gastrointestinal System at a Glance is organized in four parts, each starting with a structural and functional overview of the main components of the system and followed by chapters dealing with integrated gastrointestinal function The clinical relevance of aspects of anatomy, physiology and function is discussed in each chapter in order to highlight the practical importance of each subject The third and fourth sections are more clinical, covering the most important gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary diseases and the major aspects of diagnosis and treatment Endoscopy and radiology are described in dedicated chapters Self-assessment questions on the accompanying website are all based on the text, and can be used to check understanding and recall How to use this book This book offers a visual and graphic scaffold for further detailed study The aim is to provide pictures that will illustrate concepts and make them more memorable Thus, the book can be read before starting on coursework, annotated with additional details from lectures, tutorials and self-directed study, and then used for revision before examinations It will therefore be useful for students approaching a subject for the first time, particularly as part of an integrated systems-based medical curriculum The diagrams, many of which will also be available as online flashcards, should trigger recall of facts that might otherwise be lost in plain text Anatomical and clinical detail The anatomical diagrams are representations, and not exact reproductions, to illustrate how structure supports function, rather than to provide exact detail For more thorough anatomy, students may use Anatomy at a Glance, also available in this series Similarly, specific diseases are discussed to demonstrate pathogenic mechanisms and general principles, rather than to provide exhaustive detail This book should be used to understand the normal physiology, how it goes wrong in disease, and the principles underlying modern clinical practice in gastroenterology and hepatology Satish Keshav Adam Bailey Acknowledgements We thank all the staff at Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, particularly Martin Sugden, Fiona

↓Excretion = terminal ileal disease Functional tests measure aspects of gastrointestinal pathophysiology and complement endoscopy, radiological imaging and blood tests There are many specific tests available, some of which are no longer in common usage, but they illustrate some of the important underlying principles discussed here Breath tests The principle underlying these tests is that gases such as CO2 and H2 that can be generated in the intestine are rapidly absorbed into the circulation and excreted through the lungs 13 C-urease breath test This test detects the presence of the urease enzyme of Helicobacter pylori in the stomach A drink containing 13C-labelled urea is administered and, after a short interval, a sample of expiratory breath is taken to detect the presence of 13C-labelled CO2, produced by the breakdown of 13C- urea, principally by the urease enzyme of H pylori 13C is a non-radioactive isotope and it is measured by mass spectrometry; similar tests use 14C-labelled urea, which emits beta particles that are detected by scintigraphy Lactose breath test A test meal containing lactose is administered, and the amount of H2 excreted on the breath is measured over the subsequent few hours Lactose is usually digested in the intestine by the enzyme lactase and absorbed, resulting in no excess production of H2 However, in lactase deficiency, either congenital or acquired, for example after a bout of gastroenteritis, lactose passes undigested into the large intestine, where bacteria metabolize it, releasing H2 The excess H2 is absorbed into the bloodstream and excreted via the lungs Lactulose breath test Lactulose is a disaccharide that is not absorbed or metabolized in the small intestine but passes to the colon, where bacteria digest it, releasing H2 H2 is produced after a delay necessitated by the passage of lactulose through the small intestine However, where there is bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine, lactulose metabolism occurs in the small intestine and is accelerated, resulting in excessive and early H2 production Absorption and excretion tests The principle underlying these tests is that tracer compounds absorbed from the intestine can be readily detected in the bloodstream or in the urine when they are excreted The chosen tracer compounds are easily detected, either by measuring radioactivity or by a simple chemical test Schilling test This test investigates the various steps in the absorption of vitamin B12 (hydroxocobalamin) It is rarely used nowadays due to lack of production of the cobalt radioisotopes and labeled-B12 test substances First, a large dose of vitamin B12 is administered by intramuscular injection, to saturate body stores and ensure that any additional vitamin B12 that is absorbed will be excreted in the urine rather than stored Next, an oral dose of radiolabelled vitamin B12 is administered and the urinary excretion measured Providing that intestinal absorption is normal, most of the labelled vitamin will be detected in the urine, suggesting that any previous deficiency was due to dietary insufficiency If, however, excretion cannot be detected, implying that there is inadequate intestinal absorption, a further oral dose of radiolabelled vitamin B12 is administered, this time together with intrinsic factor (IF) If exogenous IF restores normal absorption and excretion, the interpretation is that the patient has pernicious anaemia or IF deficiency caused by atrophic gastritis If, however, exogenous IF fails to restore normal absorption and excretion, the likely cause of the vitamin B12 deficiency is disease of, or damage to, the terminal ileum Xylose excretion Xylose is a non-metabolized sugar that is absorbed in the small intestine Once absorbed into the bloodstream, it is excreted unchanged in the urine Thus, urinary excretion allows intestinal absorption and permeability to be measured The xylose excretion test is mainly used as a research tool Stimulation tests In these tests, a hormone or other physiological stimulus is administered and the response noted In most cases, this involves measuring the secretion of another hormone or chemical into the circulation Secretin test This test is used to assess the extent of functional pancreatic tissue The duodenum is intubated and secretin infused intravenously The amount of pancreatic juice secreted and the HCO3− concentration and content are measured These are directly correlated with the amount of functional pancreatic tissue, and low levels indicate pancreatic insufficiency caused, for example, by chronic pancreatitis The test can be augmented by also infusing cholecystokinin and measuring pancreatic enzyme secretion Manometry Pressure transducers introduced into parts of the intestinal tract allow the function of sphincters to be studied The most commonly performed measurements are of the lower oesophageal and anal sphincters and the sphincter of Oddi Oesophageal manometry is used to diagnose various dysmotility disorders, including diffuse oesophageal spasm and achalasia of the cardia, while anal manometry helps in the diagnosis of the causes of faecal incontinence pH measurement pH electrodes introduced into the oesophagus and stomach through the nose or mouth allow the frequency and severity of gastro-oesophageal acid reflux to be evaluated Episodes of low pH in the distal oesophagus are correlated with symptoms, to ensure that reflux symptoms are actually caused by acid reflux The test can be used to document the effects of medical and surgical treatment In the Bernstein test, dilute HCl may be infused into the lower oesophagus to determine whether this reproduces heartburn for the patient This test is not commonly used Oesophageal pH measurement can be performed in ambulatory patients, over a 24-hour period, allowing documentation of the effects of meals, posture and sleeping Functional tests  Diagnosis and treatment  107 50

Blackwell Publishing Ltd Intestine-specific chemokine receptor, e.g CCR9 Intestine-specific adhesion receptor, e.g α4β7 integrin Pharmacological treatment of gastrointestinal disorders is a mature and well-advanced field, and new treatments are constantly emerging The biggest-selling drugs recently have been gastrointestinal acid suppressants, reflecting the high incidence of dyspepsia and peptic ulceration, and also the exquisite specificity of the medications, with a resulting low incidence of adverse effects Special considerations Target specificity Many drugs selectively bind to cellular receptors or proteins By mimicking the structure of the naturally occurring chemical, its effect is either replicated (agonist), or blocked (antagonist) One example is the histamine type (H2) receptor antagonists that block acid secretion by the parietal cells With advancing scientific knowledge, greater specificity can be achieved: for instance, different serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5HT) receptor subtypes are now being selectively targeted Immunological specificity Many intestinal diseases, such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, have an immunological basis, and are treated by immunosuppression This typically involves the use of corticosteroids, thiopurines and anticytokine antibodies such as infliximab, which is directed against tumour necrosis factor (TNFα) A major disadvantage of such treatment is that it causes global immunosuppression and increases the risk of infection However, it is now possible to target the immune system specifically in only one organ system, because certain subtypes of lymphocytes, adhesion molecules, and chemokines and chemokine receptors are tissue-specific An approach currently being tested is to block the chemokine receptor CCR9, which is intestine-specific, in active Crohn’s disease This approach to treatment could allow effective treatment with much less risk of infection Selective release and topical treatment Another way of achieving selective effects is to apply the medication only where it can reach the target tissue In the gastrointestinal system, this can be achieved by oral administration of non-absorbed drugs that then act locally Mesalazine, or 5-aminosalicylic acid (5ASA), used to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is delivered in this way, either as a slow-release preparation that is active in the distal intestine, or as a pro-drug that is activated by bacterial enzymes in the colon Some drugs are significantly absorbed through the rectal mucosa, such as diazepam, used to treat epileptic seizures, while others, such as rectal 5ASA, act locally Other drugs are well absorbed through the oral and buccal mucosa, and can be administered this way without the need to be swallowed, which can be an advantage, for instance in treating vomiting (buccal preparations of the antiemetic prochlorperazine) Hepatic first-pass effect Enterically administered drugs that are rapidly and completely metabolized by the liver are said to have a high hepatic first-pass metabolism This allows high doses to be delivered to the intestine, with fewer systemic side-effects An example is the synthetic corticosteroid, budesonide, used to treat IBD Augmenting or inhibiting intestinal function Pancreatic enzyme supplements and lactase can be taken by mouth to correct the effects of pancreatic failure and intestinal hypolactasia, respectively The enzyme supplements act locally in the intestine Orlistat, which is designed to reduce fat absorption, acts by inhibiting pancreatic lipase in the intestine Oral tolerance, immunotherapy and vaccination Orally administered antigens stimulate a strong secretory immune response, with IgA and IgM antibodies, while the systemic immune response is inhibited Thus, the live polio vaccine, and vaccines against salmonellae and Vibrio cholerae are administered orally Orally administered autoantigens may induce selective immunological tolerance and could be used to treat autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, although the results of clinical trials have so far been discouraging Antibiotics and probiotics Some intestinal symptoms may be due to a proliferation of abnormal intestinal bacteria or a reduced number of normal commensals, and oral or rectal administration of live commensal bacteria is currently being investigated, particularly in the treatment of IBD This is a counterpart to the administration of antibiotics to selectively decontaminate the intestinal lumen, for example before abdominal surgery Certain antibiotics are not absorbed systemically when administered orally, and these can be used to treat intestinal infection without systemic toxicity Examples include rifaximin, which is newly available, and vancomycin, which is usually administered intravenously, and when given orally, treats Clostridium difficile infection Food as therapy Intolerance to various food elements occurs, for example, in coeliac disease, lactose intolerance and cows’ milk protein, peanut and other food allergies A totally bland, antigen-free diet comprising monomers or short oligomers of carbohydrate, fat and protein (elemental diet) is considered to be effective in treating Crohn’s disease, although the mechanism of action is unknown Enteral, as opposed to parenteral, feeding, even in severely ill patients, is critically important, as the food-free intestine atrophies, increasing the risk of bacterial translocation and systemic sepsis Parenteral nutrition Providing all necessary nutrients without eating is difficult, and was impossible prior to the discovery of lipid preparations that could be safely administered intravenously It is now possible to provide total parenteral nutrition (TPN) intravenously, for instance after major surgery, for the time before enteral feeding can be re-established Rarely, intestinal failure is permanent, for instance after a vascular catastrophe causing infarction of the intestine In these cases, patients can nowadays be offered TPN at home, administered via a permanently indwelling catheter in a major vein such as the subclavian (home parenteral nutrition, HPN) The lipid component of TPN remains dangerous, however, and after a few years of HPN, most patients have liver damage that can ultimately lead to cirrhosis and liver failure Permanent venous cannulae are also at risk of infection, and can cause thrombosis of veins Pharmacotherapy  Diagnosis and treatment  109 51 Gastrointestinal surgery Cholecystectomy Laparotomy Appendicectomy Cholecystectomy Nissen

Publishing Ltd Incision of the abdominal wall to gain access to the peritoneal cavity is termed laparotomy Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery has transformed many abdominal operations from major, hazardous undertakings to routine day-case procedures However, gastrointestinal surgery is frequently performed as an emergency and remains highly demanding for both patient and surgeon In addition, many gastrointestinal disorders are treated jointly by physicians and surgeons, who collaborate to determine the best combined therapeutic approach for individual patients, particularly when managing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and hepatobiliary conditions Basic considerations As for any surgery performed under general anaesthetic, patients fast beforehand, and for intestinal surgery, the bowel is also purged with laxatives, and prophylactic antibiotics are administered perioperatively Manipulating the intestine temporarily halts peristalsis, causing paralytic ileus; therefore, patients cannot eat or drink immediately after abdominal surgery Stomas Parts of the intestinal tract are commonly brought out onto the surface of the abdomen, creating an artificial opening or stoma This may be permanent or temporary, allowing time for the distal part of the bowel to heal, or to defunction the distal intestine prior to further surgery Stomas release intestinal or colonic contents onto the skin, which is not adapted for constant exposure to their pH, salt and enzymatic composition; therefore, stomas require special care, involving equipment such as adhesive dressings and bags In addition, small intestinal stomas lose large volumes of intestinal juice that can no longer be reabsorbed by the colon, and patients risk salt and water depletion unless they compensate by increasing their intake Laparoscopic surgery Operations such as a cholecystectomy are now usually performed laparoscopically, whereby, instead of a large incision of the anterior abdominal wall, a small ‘keyhole’ incision is made through which a narrow laparoscope is inserted This allows visualization of the internal organs, and instruments are introduced through the same or additional incisions to perform the surgery The technique requires skill and practice and is much less traumatic for the patient Common operations • Cholecystectomy:  usually to remove symptomatic gallstones causing cholangitis or pancreatitis • Hernia repair:  such as inguinal hernias, particularly in men • Appendicectomy:  usually for acute appendicitis Gastrointestinal bleeding Fifty per cent of gastrointestinal bleeding is caused by peptic ulcers, and although many cases can be treated medically, endoscopically or radiologically with arterial embolization, uncontrollable bleeding, especially where the bleeding source cannot be identified, necessitates emergency laparotomy Gastrointestinal bleeding caused by portal hypertension may require surgically constructed vascular shunts (portocaval shunts) to reduce portal pressure and prevent variceal haemorrhage Inflammatory bowel disease Inflammatory bowel disease, particularly Crohn’s disease, can cause intestinal strictures and fistulae that require surgical correction However, as Crohn’s disease typically recurs after surgery, surgery is used sparingly Medically uncontrolled colitis may necessitate emergency colectomy as a life-saving measure Furthermore, in ulcerative colitis, colectomy is curative and is sometimes also performed because of the high risk of colorectal cancer Cancer Cancers of the intestinal tract, pancreas, liver or gallbladder may be treated surgically, particularly if they are detected at an early, potentially curable stage However, most operations are palliative, aiming to reduce tumour bulk before chemotherapy or radiotherapy, or to relieve intestinal obstruction or bleeding Obesity Surgical treatment of obesity (bariatric surgery) is a rapidly growing area in which a variety of operations are performed The earliest operations, in which the jejunum and varying lengths of ileum were bypassed, achieved weight loss but were complicated by steatohepatitis causing severe liver damage, and are no longer performed Gastric bypass operations (roux-en-Y gastric bypass) are the most common bariatric surgical procedures performed However, smaller operations whereby a portion of the stomach is stitched or enclosed with a rubber band (laparoscopic adjustable gastric band), which can be adjusted to vary the effect, probably lead to less durable weight loss (see Chapter 38) Transplantation Transplant surgery may be performed to replace the liver, pancreas or pancreatic islet tissue, or small intestine Orthotopic liver transplantation, whereby the original liver is removed and replaced with a donor organ, is the most successful, and 85% of liver transplant recipients survive for at least years postoperatively Pancreatic and small intestinal transplantation are less successful, although when the small intestine and liver are transplanted together, the outcome improves, possibly because liver transplantation induces donor-specific immune tolerance in the host, reducing the risk of rejection Gastrointestinal surgery  Diagnosis and treatment  111 Index Page numbers in italics refer to figures abdomen examination 98, 99 abdominal pain 23, 31 coeliac
