Schematic diagram of experimental design. A 2-Fr solid-state Millar transducer is located in the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). The catheter is glued to the stomach wall. Two silk sutures were tied outside the esophageal wall to exert oroaxial stretch (A) and inside the esophageal wall to exert transverse stretch (B).
