[Regulation of the frequency of the basic electrical rhythm of the stomach]

Results are presented of electrical stimulation of smooth muscles of the stomach by impulses of an electronic device. The work of the latter was synchronized by biopotentials of this organ circulating in the external feedback contour. Myoelectronic control of the frequency of the stomach basic electrical rhythm permits artificial maintenance of its value on quasi-constant level exceeding the initial one by 1.2-1.4 times. The data obtained are explained by a reduced system of differential equations describing the myoelectrical activity of the stomach smooth-muscle cell in terms of the excitable membrane theory.
