1. After gastrectomy or vogotomy with pyloroplasty the reflux of bile acids and lysolecithin increased. 2. The highest values of reflux were observed in the retrocolic (short loop) B-II anastomosis. The different types of B-I antrectomy and the antecolic B-II with Braun's enterostomy have each the same reflux, which is significantly lower than the retrocolic B-II. Even these types of gastrectomy have 6 - 10-fold elevated reflux values compared to the controls. After vagotomy with pyloroplasty the reflux was reduced to two or three times normal. After selective proximal vagotomy without pyloroplasty no reflux was observed. 3. After an isoperistaltic jejunal transportation, the reflux was reduced, the reduction depending on the length of the transposed segment. The same result was obtained with a ROUX-en-Y-gastro-enterostomy. 4. After hemigastrectomy and isoperistaltic transposition of 25 cm of jejunum, more reflux could be observed under experimental and clinical conditions.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007583	Jejunum	The middle portion of the SMALL INTESTINE, between DUODENUM and ILEUM. It represents about 2/5 of the remaining portion of the small intestine below duodenum.	Jejunums
D008244	Lysophosphatidylcholines	Derivatives of PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINES obtained by their partial hydrolysis which removes one of the fatty acid moieties.	Lysolecithin,Lysolecithins,Lysophosphatidylcholine
D011708	Pylorus	The region of the STOMACH at the junction with the DUODENUM. It is marked by the thickening of circular muscle layers forming the pyloric sphincter to control the opening and closure of the lumen.	Pyloric Sphincter,Pyloric Sphincters,Sphincter, Pyloric,Sphincters, Pyloric
D004386	Duodenum	The shortest and widest portion of the SMALL INTESTINE adjacent to the PYLORUS of the STOMACH. It is named for having the length equal to about the width of 12 fingers.	Duodenums
D005743	Gastrectomy	Excision of the whole (total gastrectomy) or part (subtotal gastrectomy, partial gastrectomy, gastric resection) of the stomach. (Dorland, 28th ed)	Gastrectomies
D005756	Gastritis	Inflammation of the GASTRIC MUCOSA, a lesion observed in a number of unrelated disorders.	Gastritides
D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001647	Bile Acids and Salts	Steroid acids and salts. The primary bile acids are derived from cholesterol in the liver and usually conjugated with glycine or taurine. The secondary bile acids are further modified by bacteria in the intestine. They play an important role in the digestion and absorption of fat. They have also been used pharmacologically, especially in the treatment of gallstones.	Bile Acid,Bile Salt,Bile Salts,Bile Acids,Acid, Bile,Acids, Bile,Salt, Bile,Salts, Bile
D013552	Swine	Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).	Phacochoerus,Pigs,Suidae,Warthogs,Wart Hogs,Hog, Wart,Hogs, Wart,Wart Hog
