The Role of Brain-gut Peptides in the Symptoms of Functional Dyspepsia and Their Predictive Value for Disease
Journal: Journal of Clinical Medicine Research DOI: 10.32629/jcmr.v5i4.3295
Abstract
Objective: To analyze the role of brain-gut peptide in the symptoms of functional dyspepsia and its predictive effect on the disease. Methods: 100 patients with functional dyspepsia were selected from the Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2022 to August 2022. The distribution of TCM syndrome of functional dyspepsia was collected, and fasting venous blood samples were collected to detect brain-intestinal peptide levels in patients with different symptoms. Moreover, patient data were collected to analyze the influencing factors of functional dyspepsia. Results: The levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and motilin (MTL) in 100 functional dyspepsia patients with early satiety and upper abdominal pain were higher than those without early satiety (P<0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference between vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and no early satiety (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in 5-HT, VIP and MTL levels between patients with upper abdominal distension and upper abdominal burning sensation and those without abdominal distension (P>0.05). Early satiety and upper abdominal satiety were correlated with 5-HT (P<0.05), upper abdominal distension and upper abdominal burning, early satiety, upper abdominal distension, upper abdominal pain and upper abdominal burning were not correlated with VIP (P>0.05), early satiety, upper abdominal distension and upper abdominal burning were not correlated with MTL level (P>0.05). Epigastric pain was correlated with MTL level (P<0.05). The influencing factors of 100 patients with functional dyspepsia included gender, overeating, hot food preference, picky eating, acid products, punctual eating, late night snack, daily sleep time, drug allergy history, family history, constipation and VIP level (P<0.05). Age, drinking tea, drinking alcohol, eating spicy food, eating breakfast, and eating were not included (P>0.05). Conclusion: Brain-gut peptide has predictive effect on functional dyspepsia symptoms and diseases.
