Existem alguns grupos de riscos independentes para o desenvolvimento desta doença e a obesidade está entre os principais fatores de risco para a DRGE. A DRGE pode acarretar em algumas complicações como o desenvolvimento de esôfago de Barrett, estenose, úlcera e sangramento esofágico, além de perda da qualidade de vida. Síndrome metabólica (SM) é uma associação central da obesidade, definido por medidas de circunferência abdominal em relação ao IMC, seguido por outros parâmetros como triglicérides alto, colesterol HDL baixo, pressão sistólica e/ou diastólica elevadas e glicemia em jejum acima de 100 mg/dL ou ainda algum tratamento prévio para uma ou mais dessas doenças citadas. A observação da possível associação de alterações clínicas às disfunções celulares e moleculares em pacientes com DRGE e/ou SM, torna-se crucial para o melhor entendimento da doença, bem como fornecer subsídios para a busca de novas alternativas terapêuticas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a relação dos aspectos clínicos e celulares da DRGE e SM. Os resultados encontrados sugerem que há uma relação entre DRGE e a presença de SM ou obesidade central e ainda sugere que pessoas com circunferência abdominal, triglicérides e HDL alterados, podem apresentar DRGE. Também foram encontrados marcadores moleculares diferentes nos grupos DRGE+SM e SM, o que pode levar a possível diagnóstico diferencial no futuro além de ser um alvo potencial para intervenções ou diagnósticos. / Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most important digestive disorders, due to the high and increasing incidence, the intensity of the symptoms and the severity of the complications. There are some groups of independent risks for the development of this disease and obesity is among the main risk factors for GERD. GERD can lead to complications such as the development of Barrett's esophagus, stenosis, ulcer and esophageal bleeding, and loss of quality of life. Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a central association of obesity, defined by measures of waist circumference in relation to BMI, followed by other parameters such as high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, elevated systolic and / or diastolic blood pressure and fasting glycemia above 100 mg/dL or some previous treatment for one or more of these diseases. The observation of the possible association of clinical alterations to cellular and molecular dysfunctions in patients with GERD and / or MS is crucial for a better understanding of the disease, as well as providing subsidies for the search for new therapeutic alternatives. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between clinical and cellular aspects of GERD and MS. The results suggest that there is a relationship between GERD and the presence of MS or central obesity and also suggests that people with altered abdominal circumference, triglycerides and HDL may present GERD. Different molecular markers were also found in the GERD + MS and MS groups, which may lead to a possible differential diagnosis in the future besides being a potential target for interventions or diagnoses.

Objetivo: Avaliar o perfil funcional do esôfago e a prevalência de refluxo gastroesofágico (RGE) em pacientes candidatos a transplante pulmonar. Métodos: Foram analisados prospectivamente entre Junho de 2005 a Novembro de 2006, 55 pacientes candidatos a transplante pulmonar da Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Porto Alegre. Os pacientes foram submetidos a esofagomanometria estacionária e pHmetria esofágica ambulatorial de 24 horas de um e dois eletrodos antes de serem submetidos ao transplante pulmonar. Resultados: A esofagomanometria foi anormal em 80% dos pacientes e a pHmetria revelou RGE ácido patológico em 24%. Os sintomas digestivos apresentaram sensibilidade de 50% e especificidade de 61% para RGE. Noventa e quatro por cento dos pacientes com DPOC apresentaram alteração à manometria, sendo a hipotonia do esfíncter inferior o achado mais frequente (80%). Pacientes com bronquiectasias apresentaram a maior prevalência de RGE (50%). Conclusões: RGE é achado freqüente em pacientes com doença pulmonar avançada. Na população examinada, a presença de sintomas digestivos de RGE não foi preditiva de refluxo ácido patológico. A contribuição do RGE na rejeição crônica deve ser considerada e requer estudos posteriores para seu esclarecimento. / Objective: To assess the prevalecence of gastro-esophageal reflux (GER) and esophageal motor profile in lung transplant candidates. Methods: Between July 2005 and November 2006, a prospective study was conducted in 55 candidates for lung transplantation. Patients underwent esophageal manometry and 24-hour pH testing before undergoing transplantation as an attempt to obtain the prevalence of reflux in this subset. Results: Abnormal esophageal manometry was documented in 80% of the patients and abnormal GER was documented in 24% of the patients. Reflux-related symptoms presented sensitivity and specificity of 50% and 61% for GER, respectively. Ninety-four per cent of the patients with COPD presented an abnormal esophageal manometry, and hipotensive lower esphincter was the most common finding (80%). Bronchiectasis patients presented the highest prevalence of GER (50%). Conclusions: GER is highly prevalent in end-stage lung disease. Reflux-related symptoms was not preditive of gastroesophageal reflux. The contribuition of GER to chronic rejection and allograft dysfunction must be considered and needs to be addressed in future studies.

Background. Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is associated with an increase in nocturnal gastro-oesophageal reflux (nocturnalGOR) events and symptoms, however the mechanism for this remains undefined. Treatment of OSA with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has been shown to reduce nocturnalGOR in individuals with OSA however the reasons for this reduction are not clear. The combination of OSA and nocturnalGOR could be particularly problematic for individuals who have had a lung transplant in whom Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS) limits survival. It is thought that GOR plays a role in the development of BOS in these individuals. Methods and Results. Five interrelated studies were undertaken. The first two studies sought to determine and compare the prevalence and risk factors of nocturnalGOR in OSA patients with the general population. To do this, a GOR questionnaire was completed by 2,042 members of the general community as part of the Busselton Health Survey and by 1,116 patients with polysomnography-diagnosed OSA. Risk of OSA in the general population was determined using a standardised sleep questionnaire. 137 of the OSA patients completed the questionnaire before and after treatment with CPAP. The prevalence of nocturnalGOR symptoms reported more than once a week (frequent symptoms) was greater in OSA patients (10.1%) than the general population (5.8%) (p<0.001), in individuals from the general population at high (11.2%) than low risk of OSA (4.5%) (p<0.001) and in patients with severe (14.7%) than mild OSA (5.2%) (p<0.001). Treatment of OSA with CPAP decreased the prevalence of frequent nocturnalGOR from 9.0% to 3.8% (p=0.04). In the general population, high risk of OSA was independently associated with a 2.4-fold increased risk of frequent ABSTRACT vi nocturnalGOR symptoms than low risk. In the OSA group, disease severity was independently associated with nocturnalGOR symptoms, with an adjusted odds ratio of 1.7 for frequent nocturnalGOR symptoms.
