In order to characterise human interdigestive cyclical motor activity, and its interruption by food, jejunal pressure changes in healthy volunteers were recorded continuously for 24 hours, using an ingested pressure-sensitive radiotelemetry capsule tethered at the duodenojejunal flexure. In 20 studies, the subjects fasted throughout; in another 20 studies they received a single standard meal. Using this technique, fasting motor complexes were easily detected. There was considerable variation in interdigestive cycle duration and in the interruption caused by food. The data were not normally distributed. The study indicates that any descriptions of 'atypical' jejunal motility patterns must take into account the wide variations seen in health, before they can be regarded as representing dysfunction or disease.
为了描述人体消化间期的周期性运动活动及其被食物打断的情况，使用一个固定在十二指肠空肠曲处的可摄入式压敏无线电遥测胶囊，对健康志愿者的空肠压力变化进行了24小时连续记录。在20项研究中，受试者全程禁食；在另外20项研究中，他们接受了一顿标准餐。使用这种技术，很容易检测到禁食运动复合体。消化间期的周期持续时间以及食物引起的中断存在相当大的差异。数据呈非正态分布。该研究表明，在将任何“非典型”空肠运动模式描述视为代表功能障碍或疾病之前，必须考虑到在健康状态下所观察到的广泛差异。
