GI DISEASES Flashcards
WHAT ARE THE TWO MAIN CAUSES OF PEPTIC ULCER?
> infection of H-pylori
adverse effects of NSAIDs to GI tract
A cell in the stomach that is responsible for gastric acid secretion
Parietal cells
Acetylcholine and gastrin involvement in formulation gastric acid
binds to their receptors and increases cytosolic calcium which stimulates protein kinases that stimulates acid creation done by H+/K+-ATPase.
ECL is responsible for?
stimulation of releasing of histamine which activates adenylyl cyclase, increasing cAMP and activates protein kinase which then stimulates secretion of gastric acid by H+/K+-ATPase.
They were the mainstay of treatment for acid peptic disorders until the advent of H2−receptor antagonists and proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs).
Antacids
They were the mainstay of treatment for acid peptic disorders until the advent of H2−receptor antagonists and proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs).
Antacids
with calcium-containing dairy products can lead to hypercalcemia, renal insufficiency, and metabolic alkalosis
Milk-alkali syndrome
What causes Milk-alkali syndrome?
Calcium carbonate antacids reacting with dairy with calcium
does not causes metabolic alkalosis and belching
Antacids w formulation of magnesium hydroxide/ aluminum hydroxide
what is the first mechanism of H2 antagonist?
blockage of histamine receptor
what is the second mechanism of H2 antagonist?
by blocking the histamine receptor it diminishes the effect of acetylcholine and gastrin
a 5HT2 antagonist that may cause gynecomastia or impotence in men and galactorrhea in women.
Cimetidine
PPIs that are available in IV
Esomeprazole, lansoprazole and pantoprazole
why PPI is administered inactive?
to protect the drug from being destroyed by the gastric acid
how many days does the PPI takes to produce its full acid-inhibiting activity?
3-4 days
what has the AE of B. 12 def.
PPIs
What are the protective device of GI mucos?
- tight junctions of mucos and epithelial
- bicarbonate secretion of epithelial
- bicarbonate and vital nutrients by the blood to the surface cells
- Areas of injured epithelium are quickly repaired by restitution
In water or acidic solutions it forms a viscous, tenacious paste that binds selectively to ulcers or erosions for up to 6 hours.
Sucralfate
has limited solubility, breaking down into SUCROSE SULFATE (strongly negatively charged) and an aluminum salt.
Sucralfate
prostaglandin primarily synthesizes what?
P. E and F
A prostaglandin produced by the gastric mucosa, INHIBITS secretion of acid and stimulates secretion of mucus and bicarbonate
P. E
A methyl analog of PGE1
Misoprostol
What are the 2 available bismuth compounds?
Bismuth salicylate (OCD) and bismuth subcitrate potassium
Second line therapy for Bismuth compounds is
Quadruple therapies
Agents that increase lower esophageal sphincter pressures may be useful for?
GERD
Agents that enhance colonic transit may be useful for?
constipation
An interneuron in enteric nervous system that is important for peristaltic reflex
Myenteric plexus
may stimulate excitatory neurons or muscle cells directly
Motilin
