Structure and Function of the Gastro-esophageal Junction
Combined Magnetic Resonance Imaging and High Resolution Manometry Studies
Aims of research project:
To identify key features of the gastro-esophageal junction (structure and function) that protects the esophagus from gastro-esophageal reflux investigated by combined high resolution manometry and magnetic resonance imaging.
Hypothesis:
- Functional factors including GEJ function (e.g. sphincter pressure) and proximal gastric distension determine whether or not TLESR occurs; however
- Structural factors including separation of GEJ anatomy, intra-gastric distribution of the meal and secretions determine whether TLESR is accompanied by no reflux event, gas reflux (belching) or reflux of ingested food and gastric secretion ('true reflux').
- Initial findings by descriptive studies in healthy volunteers (study #1) and patients with mild to moderate gastro-esophageal reflux disease (study #2) will be further interrogated by a randomized, double-blind control trial of baclofen in patients with GORD; a medication that inhibits reflux by effects on GOJ function (study #3) .
