T/F
lower esophageal sphincter and mucus are the gastric defenses against acid
T
primary esophageal defense

A
prevents reflux of gastric acidic contents into the esophagus
A. lower esophageal sphincter
B. mucus
A
protects stomach and gastric epithelial cells by trapping
secreted bicarbonate at the cell-surface

B. mucus
B
forms an insoluble gel that coats the mucosal surface of the
stomach, slows ion diffusion, and prevents mucosal damage
by macromolecules such as pepsin
A. lower esophageal sphincter
B. mucus
B
mucus production is stimulated by ________ which also directly inhibit gastric acid secretion by the parietal cells; thus, drugs that inhibit prostaglandin formation predispose to the development of acid secretion
prostaglandin E2 or
prostacyclin
follow relatively benign course

T/F
PEPTIC ULCER
patients with duodenal ulcer produce more acid particularly at day time
False
(patients with duodenal ulcer produce more acid particularly at NIGHT time)
→ H. pylori and endogenous agents such as NSAIDs act in complex ways to cause an ulcer
A. GERD (GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE)
B. peptic ulcers
C. stress-related mucosal injury
B
Bacteria that produce an “ammonia cloud” that will protect them from the acid
H. pylori
→ NSAIDs use
→ H. pylori infection
→ high HCL secretion
→ inadequate mucosal defense against gastric acid
A. GERD (GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE)
B. peptic ulcers
C. CAUSATIVE FACTORS
C
T/f
single-antibiotic regimen is ineffective in eradicating H. pylori infection and lead to antibiotic resistance that’s why combination therapy is needed
T
blocker enhances the effectiveness of an antibiotic
PPI or H2
T/F
patients with history of gastric ulcer can influence the choice of therapeutic agent or time of drug administration
T
____ may reduce the absorption of drugs such as Ampicillin
PPIs
____ antagonists inhibit the hepatic metabolism of
Lidocaine
H2 receptor
