Reviewer's report
Title:Examination of the gastric enteric nervous system and muscle in patients
with diabetic gastroparesis
Version: 1Date:26 September 2007
Reviewer: Bodil Ohlsson
Reviewer's report:
General
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major Compulsory Revisions (that the author must respond to before a decision
on publication can be reached)
I think this is an interesting report showing the broad spectra of differences that
can be found in dysmotiity. However, I want to change the title and call this a
case report, as it only contains 2 cases with gastroparesis. I do not think that this
can be called an original research article but a case report. This shuld be able to
read in the title.
I think that You in M&M describe what the different markers show and label. Now
You mention this in the result section, but everything what the substances label
should be mentioned in the M&M. Be careful and have the abbreviations after
each marker, for example on page 5 You have not mentioned that tyrosine
hydroxylase is shortened as TH.
In the results, please divide the results in case 1 and case 2, to make it easier to
quickly see.
On page 5, explain for the one who is not that familiar with the methods how the
ICCs are divided. Myenteric ICCs and muscle layers can be confusing. Instead
use ICCs around the myenetric plexus??
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minor Essential Revisions (such as missing labels on figures, or the wrong use of
a term, which the author can be trusted to correct)
There are some grammatical errors. On page 6, a unifying
Page 10, the middle section. "That are occur earlier" What does this mean?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Discretionary Revisions (which the author can choose to ignore)
What next?: Unable to decide on acceptance or rejection until the authors have
responded to the major compulsory revisions
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Needs some language corrections before being
published
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
Declaration of competing interests:
I declare that I have no competing interests.
