Q

Gastric glands cell types and function

A

parietal cells: OXYNTIC, maintain acid pH by pumping H into lumen and make intrinsic factor (mucoprotein) that binds B12 for absorption in distal SIchief cells: secrete pepsinogen (converted to pepsin in acid environment)–breaks down proteinsmucous neck cells: secrete mucus to protect other gland cells from the action of enzymes and acidendocrine cells: produce gastrin, histamine, serotonin

4-5 cm seromuscular layer of gastric antrumcorresponding incision into peritoneum and transverse abdominis muscle (lateral or ventral lateral); 2-3 cm caudal to rib RIGHT sided for the prevention of GDV
26
pyloric surgical options to treat pyloric luminal obstructions
1. Fredet--Ramstedt pyloromyotomy: LONG PARTIAL incision through SM; does NOT penetrate (can't get bx); left open with mucosa/submucosa bulging2. Heineke--Milkulicz pyloroplasty: LONG FULL THICKNESS incision closed transversely; can obtain biopsy3. Y-U Advancement pyloroplasty
27
compare pyloromyotomy (FR) vs pyloroplasty (HM) in terms of gastric emptying
Gastric emptying of solids was significantly enhanced in dogs undergoing pyloroplasty, but pyloromyotomy did not significantly change gastric emptying relative to preoperative values (other studies reported no change to slowed gastric emptying)
28
types of gastro--intestinal anastomoses
BILLROTH 1 (gastroduodenal)--pylorectomy with gastroduodenal anastomosisBILLROTH 2 (gastrojejunal)--partial gastrectomy/pylorectomy with gastrojejunal anastomosis--jejunum is attached to stomach in a side to side fashion (Roux en Y is end to side anastomosis)--poor px+/- biliary diversion procedures with either
29
4 types of hiatal hernia
I. sliding: GE junction moves cranial ** most common, congenital, english bulldogs, shar peis (can also be acquired in dogs with BCAS)II. paraesophageal : portion of stomach (fundus) moves into caudal thorax next to esophagusIII. combo of sliding and paraesophagealIV: herniation of other abdominal organs (other than the stomach) into the thoracic cavityOther differential: GASTROESOPHAGEAL INTUSSUSCEPTION (without displacement of the gastroesophageal junction)
30
T/F2/3 of dogs do not have an abdominal esophagus
TRUEPratschke et al 2004 Vet Surgery8/12 (67%) no abdominal portion of esophagus
31

45
most common causes of gastric ulceration in small animals
--hepatic disease--neoplasia--renal disease--NSAID--GCCassociated with decr PG production, decr gastric blood flow, excess acid production, decr bicarb/mucus protection
46
renal and hepatic pathophys to gastric ulcer formation
hypergastrinemia from decreased clearance or increased secretiondecreased clearance of gastrin +/- histamine (both of which increase acid)
47
2 mechanisms of NSAID induced gastric ulceration
1. direct topical effect of weak acid, lipid soluble NSAID2. systemic COX inhibition resulting in decreased PG GI protection
48
decreasing COX effect on PG production
inhibit COX decrease PG productiontherefore, decr GI blood flow, decr mucus/bicarb secretion, decr epithelial turnoveris a result of both COX 1 and COX 2 inhibition (historically thought of as just cox 1 inhibitory effect)
49
histamine (H2) receptor antagonist for treatment of gastric ulcers
least potentcimentidine (q8hr dosing, inhibits p450)ranitidine (prokinetic)famotidine (most potent)
50
proton pump (H/K+) inhibitors for treatment of gastric ulcers
block H+/K+ ATPaseinhibits H+ release into the lumendecreases gastric acidityDRUG ABSORBED IN ALKALINE ENVIRONMENT (in prox duodenum)
51
sucralfate MOA for treatment of gastric ulcers
sulfated dissacharide aluminum hydroxidein the acidic stomach it breaks into its componentssucrose becomes thick paste like "bandaid" may stimulate local PG releaseq6 hr
52
misoprostol MOA for treatment of gastric ulcers
analogue of PGE1increases mucusincreases bicarbincreases gastric blood flow30 minute half life therefore frequent dosing needed
53
most common cause of gastric perforation
neoplasia NSAID administration
54
what is a gastrinoma
distant tumor affecting the stomachtumor of the non-beta pancreatic islet cellshypersectretion of gastrin from antral G cells leading to hyperacidity and ulceration
55
list risk factors for GDV
--breed predisposition (large to giant breed)--large thoracic depth to width ratio--affected first degree relative --feeding fewer meals per day--rapid eating--aggressive/fearful/anxious temperament--decreased food particle size --incr hepatogastric ligament length--stress or exercise after a meal
56
breeds at highest risk for GDV

57
EKG abnormalities in dogs with GDV
40-70%
58
Key points on pathophysiology of GDV
1. cardiovascular dysfunction: shock, decr preload, blood loss, arrhythmias2. respiratory: pressure on diaphragm3. gastric necrosis4. bacterial translocation5. reperfusion injury
59
Lactate SN/SP if > 6 mmol/L according to dePapp et al 1999 JAVMA
plasma lactate in GDV dogs > 6.0 mmol/L was 61% SN/ 88% SP for gastric necrosis99% dogs with < 6.0 mmol/L survived, but only 60% dogs > 6.0 mmol/L survive
60
Lactate according to Zacher et al 2010
90% of dogs with initial serum lactate concentrations of 9.0 mmol/L or less survived vs with 54% of dogs with initial lactate concentrations of 9.0 mmol/L or moreIn the group of dogs with initial lactate concentrations of 9.0 mmol/L or more, the response to resuscitative therapy (measured by the posttreatment lactate concentration), absolute change in lactate concentration, and percentage change in lactate concentrations were evaluated relative to survival. Survival rates were significantly lower for dogs with posttreatment lactate concentrations above 6.4 mmol/L, absolute changes in lactate concentration of 4 mmol/L or less, and percentage change in lactate concentrations of 42.5% or lesscare must be taken when applying specific cutoff values to individual patients because the values of survivors and nonsurvivors overlap
61
average recurrence rate of GDV following circumcostal vs belt loop vs gastrocolopexy gastropexy
circumcostal 4.3%(ranged anywhere from 0-7% based on different studies)belt loop 0%gastrocolopexy 15%
62
benitez et al 2013 JAAHA recurrence GDV following incisional gastropexy
~10% recurrent GD< 5% (4.8%) probably of GDV recurrence though no dogs in the study had recurrent GDV
63
Factors associated with increased mortality following GDV surgery
1. duration clinical signs >6 hr2. concurrent gastrectomy/splenectomy or splenectomy needed3. hypotensive4. gastric wall necrosis5. pre op peritonitis/sepsis6. pre op cardiac arrhythmias7. DIC
64
T/FIncreased duration of time from presentation to surgery has been associated with an overall decrease in the mortality rate.
TRUEMackenzie JAAHA 2010Increased duration of time from presentation to surgery has been associated with an overall decrease in the mortality rate. This decrease in mortality presumably reflects that time spent stabilizing the patient with aggressive fluid support; gastric decompression is critical and positively impacts survival.
65
positive predictors of survival for dogs with initial lactate > 9 mmol/L based on Zacher et al
based on serial lactate measurements--absolute change in lactate > 4 mmol/L (86% survive)--% changes in lactate >42.5% (100% survive)--final lactate < 6.4 mmol/L (91% survive)
66

67
T/Fsurvival following GDV was NOT influenced by the presence of bacteremia
TRUEseen in 43% GDV patients and 40% OHE control patients
68
T/Flidocaine treatment had no significant difference in mortality rate or post op complications
TRUEbut they were in hospital longer
69
prophy gastropexy decreases risk of GDV by how much
29 fold

Mayhew et al Vet Surgery 2009compared total laparoscopic gastropexy using two different techniques for gastropexy suturing with laparoscopic-assisted gastropexy.
Laparoscopic-assisted gastropexy was performed in a significantly shorter time than either total laparoscopic gastropexy technique and required less specialized equipment. Activity, as measured by accelerometry postoperatively, was significantly reduced for the first 4 days after surgery in dogs that underwent laparoscopic-assisted gastropexy compared with dogs that underwent total laparoscopic gastropexy.
