Progress in small-bowel physiology and disease

There have been many interesting and exciting developments in the field of gastro-enterology in the past few years. Many of these advances have been due to technical skills in physiology, biochemistry and radiology, but newer diagnostic and therapeutic measures have also been introduced. The complex functions of the small bowel andespecially the mucosal lining of the intestine, provide particular scope for detailed multidisciplinary research, clinical, paraclinical and scientific.The present communication reflects our own brief selection of recent advances in the field of small-bowel physiology and disease and does not represent a comprehensive coverage of all the advances in the past decade

The effect of a boots preparation and pure natural secretin and pancreozymin on pancreatic and gastric function in man

Secretin was found to be a powerful inhibitor of basal gastric acid secretion in man. Pure natural secretin was more effective and more rapid in its action on gastric secretion than Boots secretin.Boots pancreozymin and Swedish CCK (cholecystoktnin) had a variable effect on basal gastric acid secretion and all the changes were modest and unimpressive
