12 The basal serum gastrin concentrations in the patients with idiopathic DU ( 15–110 ) were more similar to those of the H pylori positive patients with DU or H pylori positive healthy volunteers than to those of the H pylori negative healthy volunteers .
13 The integrated gastrin response ( IGR ) ( ng/l min ) was exaggerated in the H pylori positive patients with DU ( 3375 ( 550–8725 ) ) compared with the H pylori negative healthy volunteers ( 560 ( 225–1125 ) p<0.002 ) but was similar to that in the H pylori positive healthy volunteers ( 4150 ( 900–8500 ) ) ( Fig 2 ) .
14 The integrated gastrin response in the patients with idiopathic DU ( 2810 ( 750–8750 ) ) was similar to that of the H pylori positive patients with DU and H pylori positive volunteers , with four of the six patients with idiopathic DU having values above the range of the H pylori negative healthy volunteers .
15 The liquid emptying rate in the patients with idiopathic DU was significantly faster than in the H pylori negative healthy volunteers ( median 60 minute percentage retentions 23 ( range 15–33 ) and 34 ( 30–53 ) respectively ( p<0.01 ; Fig 5 ) ) .
16 The liduid emptying half time was correspondingly shorter in the patients with idiopathic DU ( median 28 min ( range 22–38 ) ) than in the H pylori negative healthy volunteers ( 39 ( 35–66 ) ; p<0.001 ) .
17 There was no significant difference in liquid emptying rate between the patients with idiopathic DU and H pylori positive patients with DU or between the H pylori positive patients with DU and H pylori negative healthy volunteers ( Fig 5 ) .
18 The solid emptying rate as measured by the percentage retention at 60 minutes was faster in the patients with idiopathic DU ( median 54 ( range 9–83 ) ) than in the H pylori positive patients with DU ( 79 ( 51–100 ) ; p<0.01 ) or H pylori negative healthy volunteers ( 87 ( 49–95 ) ; p<0.01 ; Fig 6 ) .

20 the H pylori positive patients with DU were similar to the H pylori negative healthy volunteers with respect to both solid emptying 60 minute retention values ( p=0.3 ) and half time ( p=0.4 ) .
21 Theonly characteristic that clearly distinguished the patients with idiopathic DU from both H pylori positive patients with DU and H pylori negative healthy volunteers was their rapid gastric emptying of both liquids and solids .
22 The median acid output ( mmol/h ) to gastrin releasing peptide ( 40 pmol/ kg/h ) in the H pylori positive healthy volunteers was 15.1 ( range 3.3–38.3 ) , which was three times that of the H pylori negative healthy volunteers ( median=5.5 , range 1.0–9.0 ) ( p<0.02 ) .
23 The median acid output in the duodenal ulcer patients with H pylori was 37 ( range 8.5–57 ) , which was >six times that of the H pylori negative healthy volunteers .
