H. pylori

A

microaerophilic, gram neg, spiral shape, multiple polar flagella

most protein products allow survival, colonization, virulence

Q

Which type of H. pylori infection leads to inc gastric pH?

A

chronic atrophic gastritis

via damage to parietal cell and urease effects (urea –> NH3 +CO2)

Q

Which type of H. pylori infection leads to dec gastric pH?

A

chronic non-atrophic gastritis

more duodenal and gastric ulcer disease

colonization of astral G cells

  • hyperplasia of G cells
  • inc gastrin –> inc acid

Q

NSAIDs –> ulcers, major MOA

A

toxicity to GI mucosa due to COX 1** inhibition (RLS) in prostaglandin synthesis

(prostaglandins usu enhance mucosal BF, so if blocked, mucosa vulnerable)

Q

AI gastritis

A

inflamm @ body/fundus

Abs against parietal cells, IF, and block proton pump

–>B12 deficiency, megaloblastic anemia (inc MCV), hypOchlorhydria or achlorhydria

A

low/no acid –> inc gastrin

risk factor for

  • type 1 gastric neuroendocrine tumors (carcinoid) via xs ECL stim
  • intestinal metaplasia (precursor to gastric adenocarcinoma)

Q

NSAIDs –> ulcers, minor MOA

A

topical effect

  • nonselective NSAIDs are weak acids, un-ionized in stomach, lipid soluble
  • diffuse across gastric epithelial cell
  • in cell - ionize in neutral pH
  • high intracellular [NSAID] –> toxic

A
epigastric pain (gnawing)
N/V
poss improve w/ oral intake
poss bleeding (hematemesis "coffee ground")
17
Q

NSAID induced ulcers may cause no sx except ____

A

bleeding

18
Q

ulcer obstruction usually occurs at

A

pylorus

19
Q

tx of gastric and peptic ulcer disease

A

tx H. pylori
H2 receptor antagonists
PPIs
NSAID prophylaxis (misoprostal)

20
Q

Zollinger-Ellison syndrome

A
  • massive amounts of acid secretion
  • neuroendocrine tumor secretes gastrin
  • tumor arises in gastrinoma triangle, most from pancreas
  • ulcers in somach, duodenum (outside of bulb), jejunum
  • severe reflux esophagitis possible
  • can be metastatic

dx: clinical history, gastrin level, CTscan or octreotide scan

21
Q

gastrinoma triangle

A

defined by duodenal walls, bile ducts, pancreas

22
Q

octreotide

A

somatostatin

splanchnic vasoconstrictor

inhibits gastrin, VIP, insulin, others

23
Q

which gastric polyp has a high risk of malignancy?

A

adenomatous polyps

most comm in antrum

24
Q

common location of fundus gland polyps

A

fundus and gastric body

25
Q

common location of hyperplastic polyps

A

anywhere in stomach, most comm in antrum

26
Q

which gastric neoplasia develop in setting of high gastrin levels?

A

fundic gland polyps

27
Q

gastric adenocarcinoma, intestinal type

A
  • declining incidence
  • east Asia (china, Japan)
  • M>F, mean 70 y/o
  • usu asympotomatic until advanced
  • risk fx: H. pylori, chronic atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia/dysplasia, adenomatous gastric polyps, cigarette smoking
28
Q

gastric adenocarcinoma, diffuse type

A
  • linitis plastica, broad region of thickened gastric wall
  • signet ring cells, nuclei pushed to periphery
  • cells=iniltrative, poorly differentiated, and discohesive
