317 PUD Flashcards
Lowest dose of aspirin leading to GI bleed
Aspirin 75 mg per day
When to do endoscopy patient with GI bleed?
Most patients within 24 hours
When to do endoscopy in patient with GI bleed with hemodynamic compromise?
Stabilize then do endoscopy within 12 hours
What is the hemoglobin threshold to do blood transfusion?
Hemoglobin less than 7 mg/dl if without cardiac or respiratory compromise
Hemoglobin less than 10 mg/dl if with cardiac or Respiratory compromise (heart attack)
disruption in the mucosal integrity of the stomach and duodenum leading to local defect or excavation due to active inflammation
peptic ulcer
True or false. Majority of patient with peptic ulcer patients, about 90%, are asymptomatic
True.
location of 75% of the gastric glands
oxyntic mucosa
what are the gastric glands
mucous neck, parietel, chief, endocine, enterochromaffin, and enterochromaffin-like cells
where are pyloric glands located
antrum
what are the pyloric glands
mucous and endocrine cells
also known as the oxyntic cells
parietal cell
where does acid secretion occur
apical canalicular surface
what are the mucosal defense system
three level barrier composed of preepithelial, epithelial, and subepithelial elements
first line of defense
mucus bicarbonate phospholipid layer which serves as physiochemical barrier
what is mucus made of
90% water and 10% mixture of phospholipids and glycoproteins
second line of defense
surface epithelial cells
true or false. Surface epithelial cells generate heart and shock proteins that prevent protein denaturation
True.
True or false.epithelial cells also generate trefoil factor family peptides and cathelicidins which play a role in surface cell production
True.
refers to the migration of gastric epithelial cells to restore a damaged region
restitution
key component of the subepithelial defense/repair system providing HCO which neutralizes acid
elaborate microvascular system
play a central role in gastric epithelial defense/ repair
prostaglandins
contains abundant levels of prostaglandins
gastric mucosa
from where is prostaglandin derived
esterized arachidonic acid
controls the rate limiting step prostaglandin synthesis
cyclooxygenase
COX expressed in a host of tissues, including stomach, platelets, kidneys and endothelial cells
COX-1
COX inducible by inflammatory stimuli and is expressed in marcophages, leukocytes, fibroblasts and synovial cells
COX-2
Expounds the beneficial and toxicity effects of NSAIDs
beneficial effects: inhibition of COX-2 leads to reduction of inflammation toxic effect: inhibition of COX-1 isoform leading to GI mucosal ulceration and renal dysfunction
have the potential of providing the beneficial effect of decreasing tissue inflammation while minimizing toxicity in the GI tract
COX-2 selective NSAIDs
NSAIDs removed from the market and the reason for removal
valdecoxib and rofecoxib due to adverse effect on cardiovascular system
important in the maintenance of gastric mucosal integrity
nitric oxide
referred to as microbiota
bacterial communities consisting of hundreds of phylotypes
two principal gastric secretory products capable of inducing mucosal injury
Hcl and pepsinogen
basal acid production is highest during and lowest during?
basal acid products is highest at night and lowest during morning hours
principal contributors to basal acid secretion
cholinergic input via the vagus nerve and histaminergic input from local gastric sources
three phases of gastric acid secretion
cephalic, gastric, intestinal
components of cephalic phase
sight, smell and taste of food
when is gastric phase activated
when food enters stomach
true or false. Distention of the stomach wall also leads to gastrin release and acid production
True.
what is the last phase of acid secretion and how is mediated
intestinal phase is initiated as food enters the intestines and is mediated by luminal distention and nutrient assimilation
appetite regulating hormone
Ghrelin
inihibit acid production both direct and indirectly
somatostatin
responsible for generating large concentrations of H
H K ATPase
synthesize and secrete pepsinogen
chief cell
what are ulcers
breaks in mucosal surface of more than 5 mm in size with depth to the submucosa
most common risk for PUD
H pylori and NSAIDs
where does duodenal ulcer commonly located
first portion of the duodenum 95% and 90% located within 3 cm of the pylorus
True or false. Malignant duodenal ulcer are common
False. Malignant DU are extremely rare.
True or false. Gastric ulcer can represent a malignancy and should biopsied upon discovery
True.
where are gastric ulcer often found
distal to the junction between the antrum and the acid secretory mucosa
Type of gastric ulcers. Associated with low gastric acid production
Type I. Occur in the gastric body and Type IV cardia.
Type of gastric ulcer. Gastric acid can vary from low to normal
Type II. Occur in the antrum
Type of gastric ulcer. Normal or high acid production. Associated with duodenal ulcers
Type III. 3 cm from the pylorus
Type of gastric ulcer. Low gastric production.
Type IV. Found in the cardia
organism that play a role in the development of MALT and gastric adenocarcinoma
H pylori
True or false. H Pylori resides in the antrum but over time migrates towards the proximal segments of the stomach
True.
