High impact information on Celiac Plexus

• Moreover, diethylamine/nitric oxide complex superfused at the coeliac plexus level inhibited duodenal motility in the absence of gastric distension [1].
• 2. L-Arginine, superfused at the coeliac plexus level, enhanced this reflex, whereas Nomega-nitro-L-arginine (L-NOARG) or 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5 tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (carboxy PTIO) reduced or abolished it [1].
• Moreover, 8-bromo-cGMP and cGMP, superfused at the coeliac plexus level, inhibited duodenal motility in the absence of gastric distension [1].
• Octreotide in the treatment of diarrhoea induced by coeliac plexus block [2].
• The reflex was unaffected by superfusion of the coeliac plexus with hexamethonium and tubocurarine, ruling out a nicotinic mechanism [3].

Anatomical context of Celiac Plexus

• In order to shed light on the controversial issue of vagal innervation of the solar plexus ganglia, vagal efferent preganglionic fibers were anterogradely labeled by injecting the fluorescent carbocyanine dye Dil into the dorsal motor nucleus (dmnX) [4].
• At the start of the hepatic artery dissection, the celiac plexus was blocked by injection of bupivacaine [5].
• However, when lidocaine of 0.6% was used to block the right celiac plexus, no above-mentioned reaction happened when the biliary tract pressure was increased again [6].
• All underwent section of the median arcuate ligament to free the celiac axis and resection of the connecting nerve fibers of the solar plexus (periarterial neurectomy) [7].

Associations of Celiac Plexus with chemical compounds

• Coeliac plexus block with bupivacaine reduces intestinal dysfunction in neurosurgical ICU patients [8].
• Letter: Ketamine and the coeliac plexus reflex [9].
• Gabapentin for coeliac plexus pain [10].
• Percutaneous neurolysis of the coeliac plexus was described by Hegedus Direct injection of ethanol and laser ablation of liver tumors, diskectomy and tubal recanalization are other more recently developed procedures [11].

Gene context of Celiac Plexus

• Of the nonorganic abdominal disorders the celiac/solar plexus syndrome represents a frequently seen entity characterized by the typical association of epigastric pain and "lambda-type" tenderness [12].
• We postulate that somatostatin analogue may be useful as treatment for diarrhoea following neurolytic coeliac plexus block that is unresponsive to conventional anti-diarrhoeal agents [13].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Celiac Plexus

• Patients were divided into three groups: palliative bypass surgery (BP), palliative bypass surgery with an intraoperative celiac plexus blockade (CPB), and palliative bypass surgery with or without celiac plexus blockade followed by high-dose conformal radiotherapy (RT) [14].
