Effect of cisapride on intestinal bacterial and endotoxin translocation in cirrhosis
Open accessAbstract
AIM: To investigate the effects of cisapride on intestinal bacterial overgrowth (IBO), bacterial and endotoxin translocation, intestinal transit and permeability in cirrhotic rats. METHODS: All animals were assessed with variables including bacterial and endotoxin translocation, intestinal bacterial overgrowth, intestinal transit and permeability. Bacterial translocation (BT) was assessed by bacterial culture of MLN, liver and spleen, IBO by a jejunal bacterial count of the specific organism, intestinal permeability by determination of the 24-hour urinary (99m)Tc-DTPA excretion and intestinal transit by measurement of the distribution of (51)Cr in the intestine. RESULTS: Bacterial translocation (BT) and IBO was found in 48 % and 80 % cirrhotic rats respectively and none in control rats. Urinary excretion of (99m)Tc-DTPA in cirrhotic rats with BT (22.2+/-7.8) was greater than these without BT (10.5+/-2.9). Intestinal transit (geometric center ratio) was significantly delayed in cirrhotic rats (0.31+/-0.06) and further more delayed in cirrhotic rats with BT (0.24+/-0.06) than these without BT (0.38+/-0.11). Cirrhotic rats with IBO had significantly higher rates of intestinal bacterial and endotoxin translocation, slower intestinal transit time and higher intestinal permeability than those without IBO. It was also found that BT was closely associated with IBO and the injury of intestinal barrier. Compared with the placebo group, cisapride-treated rats had lower rates of bacterial/endotoxin translocation and IBO, which was closely associated with increased intestinal transit and improved intestinal permeability by cisapride. CONCLUSION: These results indicate that endotoxin and bacterial translocation in cirrhotic rats may be attributed to IBO and increased intestinal permeability. Cisapride that accelerates intestinal transit and improve intestinal permeability might be helpful in preventing intestinal bacterial and endotoxin translocation.

Cisapride decreases intestinal transit time and inhibits intestinal bacterial overgrowth and bacterial translocation in animal models and cirrhosis patients.
“The prokinetic drug cisapride not only decreases intestinal transit time but also inhibits intestinal bacterial overgrowth and bacterial translocation, both in animal models150,151 and in patients with cirrhosis150,152.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
