- W1996399963 abstract "Based upon previous morphologic studies, we hypothesized that the development of acquired megacolon was associated with abnormalities of enteric neurotransmitter concentrations and enzymatic activities. Specimens were obtained at surgery from patients with normal descending-sigmoid colon (n = 13) and patients with sigmoid megacolon (n = 6; defined by radiologic measurement). Radioimmunoassays were used to measure the non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic inhibitory neuropeptide, vasoactive intestinal peptide, and the non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic excitatory neuropeptide, substance P, while spectrophotometric assays were used to quantitate acetylcholinesterase activity and choline acetyltransferase activity. There were significantly decreased concentrations of vasoactive intestinal peptide and decreased acetylcholinesterase activity in muscularis externa from patients with acquired megacolon. In megacolon, vasoactive intestinal peptide-containing nerve fibers appeared to be diminished in circular and longitudinal smooth muscle, and immunostaining of nerve cell bodies in the plexus submucosus externus appeared diminished. These results suggest the hypothesis that production of vasoactive intestinal peptide is altered allowing secondary colonic hypertrophy to develop from prolonged cholinergic nerve-mediated contractions of circular smooth muscle. As a corollary to this hypothesis, colonic dilatation might result from prolonged contraction of longitudinal smooth muscle." @default.
