pressure radius wall tension Laplace’s lawin diverticular disease P = k .T / r highest intraluminal pressurein gut segments withsmallest diameter i.e. sigmoid
segmenting contractions mass contractions high-amplitude peristaltic contractions do not lead to significant transit lead to transit of large volumes continuously present (day-time) 3-10 times per day Two types of colonic contractions
Two types of colonic contractions 60 cm 50 cm 40 cm 30 cm 20 cm 10 cm 200 mmHg 5 min. segmenting contractions mass contractions high-amplitude peristaltic contractions

Enteric nervous system • Submucosal plexus (Meissner) • Myenteric plexus (Auerbach) Interstitial cells of Cajal • Smooth muscle cells • Circular layer • Longitudinal layer
Altered neuronal regulation in diverticular disease More excitatory (cholinergic) neurons Fewer inhibitory (nitrergic) neurons Tomita R et al. Hepatogastroenterology 2000;47:692-696 Increased sensitivity of smooth muscle to exogenous acetylcholine Huizinga JD et al. Scand J Gastroenterol 1999;34:363-368 Golden M et al.

Ageing • Ageing associated with deterioration of collagen in extracellular matrix, mediated by changes in: • matrix metalloproteinases (‘collagenases’) • tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases Wess LA et al. Gut 1995;37:91-94 Mimura T et al. Dis Colon Rectum 2004;47:371-379
premature development of diverticulosis in connective tissue disorders: • Marfan syndrome • Ehlers-Danlos syndrome • Williams syndrome • scleroderma
connective tissue disorders IBS narrow lumen ageing abnormal colonic motility abnormal collagen weak spots at vasa recti fibre deficiency Pathogenesis of colonic diverticula increased intraluminal pressure weakened wall diverticula

Myochosis ‘concertina-like’ appearance
Myochosis Hypertrophy or hyperplasia of circular muscle? NEITHER !
muscle cells extracellular matrix Increased elastin content of the taeniae coli (‘elastosis’) Whiteway J Morson BC Gut 1985;26:258-266 elastin fibres increased by at least 200% compared to healthy controls
Myochosis Circular muscle thickened, lumen narrowed and concertina-like appearance caused by shortening of taeniae
Myochosis Myochosis may precede the development of diverticula ‘Prediverticular state’
