Q

how is autoimmune chronic gastritis caused

A
  • autoantibody to parietal cell proteins
  • leads to chronic inflammation

16
Q

result of decreased intrinsic factor

A
  • decreased B12 absorption leads to pernicious anemia
17
Q

what is peptic ulcer disease

where do they most occur

how far does it go into those areas

A
  • chronic ulcers in GI tract exposed to pepsin-acid luminal contents
  • duodenum and stomach
  • penetrates through muscularis mucosa into submucosa
18
Q

causes of peptic ulcer disease

result

A
  • H. pylori
  • NSAIDs
  • increased gastric acid
  • combine with acid and pepsin to cause epithelial cell necrosis
19
Q

importance of the mucus layer in gastroduodenal defense

A
  • creates a pH gradient between stomach lumen and surface of epithelial cells
  • protects cells from action of pepsin
20
Q

importance of prostaglandins in gastroduodenal defense

A
  • stimulate bicarbonate and mucus secretion
21
Q

how many ulcers in peptic ulcer disease

what does it look like

A
  • generally just one

- smooth base and flat margins “cookie cutter”

22
Q

4 characteristic zones of an active ulcer

A
  • fibrinopurulent exudate
  • necrotic tissue
  • granulation tissue
  • fibrotic tissue/scar
23
Q

complication of peptic ulcer

A
  • hemorrhage
  • perforation
  • obstruction
24
Q

how does Zollinger-Ellision disease occur

A
  • gastronoma in pancreas secretes gastrin.

- increases gastric HCl secretion which leads to severe peptic ulceration

25
Q

how does Menetrier disease occur

A
  • hyperplasia of gastric pit mucus cells
  • increased mucus secretion
  • causes thick rugae in cerebriform pattern
26
Q

MALT causes which cancer

A
  • low grade B cell lymphoma
27
Q

smooth muscle causes which cancer

is this benign or malignant

A
  • Leiomyoma

- benign

28
Q

how does an ulcerating malignancy compare to a peptic ulcer

A
  • ulcerating has more irregular sides and looks more jagged

- not cookie cutter

29
Q

left supraclavicular nodes are called

A
  • Virchow node
30
Q

periumbilical nodes are called

A
  • Sister Mary Joseph nodes
31
Q

Krukenberg tumor is of what organ

A
  • ovary
32
Q

2 Types of Gastric Adenocarcinomas

which is associated with forming glands

A
  • diffuse type

- intestinal type - forms glands

33
Q

Diffuse Type gastric adenocarcinomas arise from

can result in

A
  • gastric mucous cells

- Linitis Plastica

34
Q

Intestinal Type gastric adenocarcinomas arise from

A
  • metaplastic intestinal epithelial cells
35
Q

causes of gastric lymphoma

A
  • H. pylori infection

- expansion of MALT due to chronic inflammation

36
Q

what do you see on histology with gastric lymphomas

A
  • lymphocytes destroy and replace glands
