We examined gallbladder motility function after intramuscular injection of caerulein (0.2 micrograms/kg) to the cases of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) by using ultrasonography. We measured gallbladder area pre and after caerulein injection (0' 5' 10' 15' 20' 25' 30' 40' 50' 60') and calculated contraction rate of gallbladder in each time. We applied one way analysis of variance among the four groups [diarrhea group (N = 9), alternative group (N = 8), constipation group (N = 8), control group (N = 15)]. Gallbladder contraction rate was low in diarrhea group and high in constipation group (p less than 0.05). And then we classified gallbladder contraction pattern to three groups (hyperkinetic, intermediate, hypokinetic). These three groups correlated bowel habits and biliary knocked pain. Therefore, constipation group showed hyperkinetic tendency and diarrhea group showed hypokinetic tendency (chi 2 analysis: p = 0.004 CMH analysis: p = 0.001). And biliary knocked pain significantly appeared in constipation group and hyperkinetic type of gallbladder (chi 2 analysis: p = 0.026, CMH analysis: p = 0.019). Consequently, it was suggested that bowel habits concerned with abnormality of gallbladder motility function in IBS.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D009068	Movement	The act, process, or result of passing from one place or position to another. It differs from LOCOMOTION in that locomotion is restricted to the passing of the whole body from one place to another, while movement encompasses both locomotion but also a change of the position of the whole body or any of its parts. Movement may be used with reference to humans, vertebrate and invertebrate animals, and microorganisms. Differentiate also from MOTOR ACTIVITY, movement associated with behavior.	Movements
D003109	Colonic Diseases, Functional	Chronic or recurrent colonic disorders without an identifiable structural or biochemical explanation. The widely recognized IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME falls into this category.

D005704	Gallbladder	A storage reservoir for BILE secretion. Gallbladder allows the delivery of bile acids at a high concentration and in a controlled manner, via the CYSTIC DUCT to the DUODENUM, for degradation of dietary lipid.	Gallbladders
D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man

D000328	Adult	A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available.	Adults
D000704	Analysis of Variance	A statistical technique that isolates and assesses the contributions of categorical independent variables to variation in the mean of a continuous dependent variable.	ANOVA,Analysis, Variance,Variance Analysis,Analyses, Variance,Variance Analyses
D014463	Ultrasonography	The visualization of deep structures of the body by recording the reflections or echoes of ultrasonic pulses directed into the tissues. Use of ultrasound for imaging or diagnostic purposes employs frequencies ranging from 1.6 to 10 megahertz.

D016009	Chi-Square Distribution	A distribution in which a variable is distributed like the sum of the squares of any given independent random variable, each of which has a normal distribution with mean of zero and variance of one. The chi-square test is a statistical test based on comparison of a test statistic to a chi-square distribution. The oldest of these tests are used to detect whether two or more population distributions differ from one another.
