本期的主要内容是讨论结肠憩室症。“结肠憩室症的最近动向”一文介绍了在欧美多见乙状结肠憩室,而日本则多见右侧结肠憩室。Painter 等曾在各种条件下测定乙状结肠内压,发现在食物摄取,精神刺激以及投与某些药物时,结肠憩室患者肠内压较正常人明显增高。憩室的形成,是由于升高的内压沿着肠壁抵抗最弱的血管方向传递,使粘膜膨出所致。对右侧结肠憩室的发生机理尚不清楚。由于纤维结肠镜的研制,提供了对全部结肠测压 The main content of this issue is to discuss colon diverticulitis. “Recent diverticular disease trends,” a paper introduced in Europe and the United States more common sigmoid diverticulum, while Japan is more common right colon diverticula. Painter et al. Measured sigmoid colon pressure under various conditions and found that the intestinal pressure in patients with colonic diverticulitis was significantly higher than that in normal subjects during food intake, mental stimulation, and administration of certain drugs. Diverticulum formation is due to increased internal pressure along the intestinal wall of the weakest resistance to the direction of the transfer of blood vessels, so that mucosal bulging due. The mechanism of the right colon diverticulum is unclear. Due to the development of fiber colonoscopy, it provides total colon pressure measurement
