    Journal: Zhonghua Nei Ke Za Zhi; 1994 Jan; 33(1):11-4. PubMed ID: 8045179.
    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: The relationship between non-ulcer dyspepsia (NUD) and gastric emptying was described in detail in our previous paper "study of gastric emptying and non-ulcer dyspepsia". The present study was designed to evaluate whether patients with non-ulcer dyspepsia present any alteration of gallbladder motility in response to a meal, and whether the altered gallbladder emptying coordinates with gastric emptying and is related with gastrointestinal symptoms. RESULTS: (1) There was no statistical difference of fasting gallbladder volume and GBEFmax between 38 NUD patients and 30 symptom-free controls. The gallbladder emptying rate in NUD patients however was either slower or faster than that of controls, it was associated with the dyspepsia symptoms of NUD patients. (2) Delayed gastric emptying did not affect gallbladder contraction.
