GI PATHOLOGY Flashcards
Types of cells in stomach
Parietal
Chief
Foveolar cells
Endocrine
Parts of stomach
Fundus
Cardia
Pylorus
Antrum
Mucosal protection in the stomach
Mucus secretion Bicarbonate secretion epithelial barrier mucosal blood flow prostagladin protection neural and muscular components
congenital pyloric stenosis
hypertrophy or hyperplasia of muscularis propria causing persistent GOO
Causes of gastritis
NSAIDS Excessive alcohol consumption Cytotoxic drug therapy Uremia stress ischemia and shock irradiation
morphology of gastritis
edema
hyperemia
neutrophils
sequelae in chronic gastritis
chronic inflammatory cells mucosal atrophy epithelial metaplasia dysplasia carcinoma
pathogenesis of chronic gastritis
infection by h.pylori
immunologic
toxic - alcohol and cigarette
enzymes secreted by h.pylori
urease
protease
phospholipases
conditions caused by h.pylori
peptic ulcer
gastric carcinoma
lymphoma
Classification of chronic gastritis
Autoimmune. usually h.pylori negative. corpus
H.pylori gastritis. antral predominant
both
what other conditions is autoimmune gastritis associated with
Diabetes
Addison
Crohn disease
h.pylori pathogenesis
Releases ammonia from urea. raise local ph. acts on antral G cells, release of gastrin, hypergastrinemia, result in hypergastrinemia, result in hypersecretion of gastric acid.
cause production of proinflammatory cytokines by mucosal epithelial cells, activate neutrophils and macrophages, release of lysosomes, ros, impair mucosal .
some cytokines also mediate gastrin release. leading to increased acid secretion.
gastric ulcer
Breach in mucosa of alimentary tract extending into submucosa or deeper.
common location of ulcer
1st part of duodenum
gastric antrum lesser curvature
barrett’s mucosa
gastro-enterostomy margin
conditions associated with duodenal ulcer
Alcoholic cirrhosis copd crf hyperacidity phychological and social stress ingestion of hot liquid and spicy food steroid therapy
pathophysiology of ulcer
stress smoking nsaids h.pylori ze
how does cigarette cause ulcer
impairs mucosal blood flow and healing
how does alcohol cause ulcer
direct injury to mucosal cells
morphology of ulcer
punched out defect
oedematous reddened surrounding
histology
necrotic fibrinoid debris
inflammatory cells mainly neutrophils
granulation tissue
complications of ulcer
hemorrhage perforation GOO Malignant transformation intractable pain
types of ulcer
Menetrier disease - hyperplasia of surface mucous glands
cushing’s ulcer from intercranial injury
Curling’s ulcer from severe burns
tumors of the stomach
non-neoplastic polpys(inflammatory or hyperblastic) Neoplastic ae adenomas proliferative dysplastic epithelium pedunculated or sessile adenomatous polyposis of the stomach
Gastric carcinoma
90-95% of gastric cancers
other carcinomas of the stomach aside gastric carcinoma
lymphomas
carcinoids
malignant spindle cells
pathobiological classification by Lauren
Types Intesinal type with better prognosis
associated with hp and chronic gastritis
difffuse type
poorly differentiated with signet ring appearance and associated krukenberg syndrome
pathogenesis
environmental like diet
host factors like disease states like gastritis, h.pylori infection
Genetic. those with blood group A
morphology of the gastric ulcers
mainly antral and lesser curvature
linitis plastica
triad of zollinger ehler syndrome
hypergastrinemia
increased acid secretion
multiple and recurrent peptic ulcer
source of bleeding in duodenal ulce
GD artery
source of bleeding in gastric ulcer
left gastric artery
do peptic ulcer in duodenum become malignant?
Never
MEN 1 is associated with which kind of gastric disease
Zollinger ehler
