The method can be used in medicine, namely in gastroenterology. With imposed on the patient's body surface electrodes record the electrical signal and the estimate of the organ of the gastrointestinal tract. Measurement of the electrical signal is performed minutely device, in two stages 40-50 min. In the first stage it is produced on an empty stomach in 5-6 minutes after application of the electrodes. On the second - after eating a standard stimulus. Electrodes are placed on the right forearm, the left and right shin. Record the total electrical signal of five divisions GIT and an electric signal of each of the departments. On the contribution of each department in the overall electrical signal, its rhythm and magnitude of differences from the neighboring department of the electric signal is judged on the presence of gastric ulcer and 12 duodenal ulcer, stenosis of the output of the stomach, dyskinesia 12 duodenal ulcer. The method improves the accuracy of the determination.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to medicine, and more particularly to methods of diagnosing the motor-evacuation function of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and can be used for non-invasively identifying a patient gastrointestinal diseases and for the evaluation of the dynamics parameters after treatment.

Known X-ray method for studying motor-evacuation function of the stomach and duodenum 12, comprising a visual assessment of the tone of the stomach size, the nature and speed of the initial evacuation, the tone and the nature of the evacuation of the loop 12 duodenal ulcer, the presence duodeo-gastric reflux (see., for example, LE Kevesh "Rentgenokinematograficheskoe study esophagus" L., Medicine., 1970, p.184). [1]

A disadvantage of the known method is the necessity of introducing into the test body a contrast agent and the inability to carry out a study for a long time due to the radiation load on the patient, the inability to observe nepropulsivnye reductions, which greatly distorts the assessment of gastrointestinal function. In addition, this method does not provide information on the relationship of various motility disorders gastrointestinal tract, and to evaluate or upper gastrointestinal (stomach and duodenum 12) or lower (the colon).

Known and the method of diagnosing motor-evacuation function of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), which consists in the definition and measurement, using superimposed on the electrode the patient's body surface, an electric signal from the body of the gastrointestinal tract, its registration and evaluation (see., Eg. Collection of Scientific Papers "diagnosis and treatment of complications postvagotomicheskih", article by P. Ettinger, MD Polivada "Opportunities intraoperative electromyographic diagnosis of duodenal permeability", Moscow, 1987) [2].

This method is closest to the technical nature and the number of common features with the statement by virtue of which we adopted as the closest analogue.

The disadvantage of this method is the fact that he did not give any idea of ​​the relationship of various motility disorders gastrointestinal tract and to evaluate either the upper sections of the gastrointestinal tract (stomach and duodenum 12) or lower (the colon). In addition, this method does not allow to detect early signs of emerging stenosis distinguish functional character evacuation disorders ulcers 12-duodenum and pyloric canal by organic.

The problem to be solved by the claimed invention is to enhance the accurate diagnosis of opportunities in the early stages of gastrointestinal diseases.

The technical result is to increase the accuracy of diagnosing disorders of motor function of gastrointestinal tract.

The above technical result is achieved due to the fact. a method for diagnosing motor-evacuation gastrointestinal tract, which consists in the definition and measurement, using superimposed on the patient's body surface electrodes. electrical signal from the body of the gastrointestinal tract, its registration and evaluation according to the invention, the electrical signal measurement is carried out in two stages at 40-50 minutes, and during the first stage of its manufacture fasting, 5-6 minutes after application of the electrodes, and the second - after a standard food stimulation, the electrodes are placed on the right forearm, the left and right lower leg, registering the total electrical signal all five GI and an electric signal of each of the departments in the relevant frequency range, 0,010-0,030 Hz colon, stomach 0,031-0,070 Hz, ileum 0,071-0,130 Hz, jejunum 0,131-0,180 Hz and 12-Hz 0,181-0,250 duodenum, followed by the contribution of each department in the overall electrical signal, its rhythm and magnitude of differences from the neighboring department of the electric signal is judged on the state of the motor-evacuation function of the digestive tract . In addition, the change in each indicator is estimated in the dynamics of constantly during the study time. Diagnosis of motor-evacuation function of the gastrointestinal tract as follows. An increase in the electrical activity of the stomach and duodenum 12 by 2-3 times. compared to the norm, and the delay of response to food stimulation, diagnosed peptic ulcer and 12 duodenal ulcer with an increase in the electrical activity of 2-3 times in the frequencies of the stomach; under basal and stimulated research, reducing the electrical activity of the duodenum 12 when stimulated with respect to the normal fasting obtained, when broken phase response to stimulation with increasing rhythm of stomach contractions after stimulation with 3 or more times, with an increase in the coefficient of correlation stomach / 12 -perstnaya gut 3 or more times on an empty stomach, and when stimulated, are diagnosed with stenosis of the outlet of the stomach: with an increase in the electrical activity of 12 duodenal ulcer 4-5 times on an empty stomach, reducing it by 1.5-2 times after stimulation with increasing rhythmic contractions stomach and duodenum 12 to 10 times or more of hypertensive type psoriasis and its decrease 1.5-2 times with hypotonic type dyskinesia. fasting and when stimulated, dyskinesia diagnosed 12 duodenal ulcer.

In medicine and medical technology is known that removal of electrocardiograms (ECG), skin electrodes applied to the right forearm, the left and right shin. that is a triangle Eythovena, removing the electrical signal which can be judged on contractile activity of individual organs.

Known and registration and measurement of the electrical signal cutaneous electrodes with one stomach, on which judge about his motor activities (see., Eg, Journal "GASTROENTEROLOGY" article Marc A., MT Verhagen, Leonard J., 1999) [3] . However, by using these solutions can not achieve the above technical result, to improve the accuracy of diagnosis of functional motility disorder of gastrointestinal tract. The fact is that to get the ECG used completely different frequency, whereby the obtained records impossible to judge the state of the gastrointestinal tract. As for the method [3], then remove one common signal, attributing it entirely to the stomach, and compares only the average general statistical data, we can not get reliable accurate picture of the state of the entire gastrointestinal tract and therefore will not be able to judge when imposing a single electrode on the stomach his motor-evacuation function.

Applicants not found sources of information containing the same set of essential features specified in the claims, namely, the minute assessment during the entire time period, a sequence of actions in two stages, but also the frequency bands, which allows to conclude that the proposed technical solution criteria of invention "novelty "and" inventive step. "

The method is illustrated elektrogastroenterogrammami where: FIG. 1-5 shows the obtained per-minute using electrogastrogram graphics investigated gastrointestinal sections.

The method is implemented as follows

Electrodes are placed on the right and left leg and the right arm of the patient and, at the same place in the superposition of the skin electrodes must be rubbed and smeared alcohol conductive paste (such as PE-2). Then, using a conductive harness is connected to the device electrodes electrogastrogram EGEG-01K, which in turn is connected to a personal computer (PC) and the isolation transformer. After that include the device and begin to measure and record the electrical activity of the peripheral parts of the patient's gastrointestinal tract in two stages. In the first phase measurement of basal contractile activity produces an empty stomach, after 5-6 minutes after application of electrodes for 40-50 minutes. The results of measurements of the basal contractile activity comes in PC and fixed there. In the second stage, and producing measurements for only 40-50 minutes after receiving a standardized breakfast (200 ml warm tea, 10 g glucose, 100 g of white bread). And receives data in the PC, which compares and processed. The results of examination of the patient in the form of tables and spectrograms displayed. As it is judged on the level of the electrical activity of the stomach, intestines, and their co-ordination. When using the claimed method of diagnosis were identified electrophysiological standards gastrointestinal contractile activity in healthy subjects. These include:

1) The percentage of basal values ​​of the electrical activity of the gastrointestinal tract: 22.4% in the stomach and 2.1% for the 12-duodenum. 3.35% on the jejunum, 8.08% for the ileum, 64.04% on the colon.
