Q

↑ ↑ levels of gastrin is seen in what cause of chronic gastritis?

A
  • seen in autoimmune gastritis because oxyntic glands cannot produce HCl (achlorhydria) so ↑ gastrin

however, with H. pylori, there e is still acid secretion in the stomach so can see ↑ or normal levels of gastrin

Q

most common causes of chronic gastritis are ______

24
Q

signet cells are associated with which gastric condition?

A
  • diffuse gastric adenocarcinoma
25
what are some secondary changes that can occur in chronic gastritis?
- glandular atrophy - intestinal metaplasia (goblet cells in epithelium) - dysplasia
26
gastric ulcers is described as loss of mucosa that extends through _____
muscular mucosae or deeper
27
describe the mucosal cells seen on biopsy of a malignant GIST
normal mucosa (not in seen in gastric adneocarinoma) that covers the tumor is smooth
28
describe some etiological factors for acute gastritis
- NSAIDS - excessive alcohol consumption - heavy smoking - ischemia and shock - uremia - severe stress
29
flat edges with a punched out out appearance is descriptive of _____
peptic ulcer intestinal gastric adenocarcinoma has heaped up edges
30
autoimmune gastritis where there is autoantibodies to ________ in the _________ part of the stomach, is associated with ↑ risk for ______ and _____
parietal cell antigens/IF found in the fundus and body (corpus) while chronic gastritis caused by H. pylori would be most commonly seen in the antrum ↑ risk for: gastric carcinoma and neuroendocrine tumors (carcincoids) aka Zollinger Ellison syndrome
31
why is serology not a usually very good for diagnosing H. pylori infection?
- the antibodies can be present longer than the organism, ever after treating the infection
32
E cadherin gene mutation is associated with ________
- diffuse gastric adenocarcinoma | - lobular carcinoma of the breast
33
where can you expect to see peptic ulcers is Zollinger Ellison syndrome?
- stomach - duodenum - jejunum due to ↑ ↑ secretion of gastrin
34
H. pylori is the most common cause of _____
peptic ulcers
35
krukenberg tumor which is __________ is associated with which gastric disease
bilateral ovarian spread; can be seen with gastric adenocarcinoma
36
what are some acquired causes to pyloric stenosis?
- chronic antral gastritis - peptic ulcers - malignancy
37
biopsy of a patients stomach shows whorls and bundles of spindle shaped or epithelioid cells. What is the disease and the most commonly associated mutation
diagnosis: GIST mutation: Kit (tyrosine kinase inhibitor)
38
what are 4 conditions that are associated with H. pylori?
- chronic gastritis (diffuse antral and multifocal atrophic) - peptic ulcer above two caused by enzymes released by H. pylori leading to mucosal damage - gastric carcinoma - gastric lymphoma (MALToma) above two due to H. pylori attacking PMN's and inflammatory cells → uncontrolled B cell proliferation
39
GIST (gastrointestinal stromal tumors) are derived from _________ and ____ mutations are present in most tumors
- cells of Cajal (pacemaker cells) | - Kit mutations (tyrosine kinase inhibitor)
40
H. pylori produces _______ and is gram _____
urease; gram negative urease produces ammonia which allows it to survive in the very acidic conditions of the stomach
41
ulcers with a necrotic base with granulation tissue is seen in _______
peptic ulcers (this a a chronic ulcer)
42
heaped up edges with polypoid growth is seen in _____
intestinal gastric adenocarcinoma peptic ulcer has flat edges
43
is malignant transformation common in gastric and duodenal peptic ulcers?
no, but it is the surrounding gastritis that can lead to gastric carcinoma; NOT the ulcer
44
where in the GI do you most commonly see ulcers due to H. Pylori infection
duodenum; (second is gastric ulcers)
45
parietal cells secrete ____________ | where are they found?
acid and intrinsic factor | corpus and fundus (body)
46
thick walled stomach with flattened rugae is a description of stomach due to ______
diffuse adenocarcinoma (leather bottle stomach)
47
severe trauma (head injuries) or major surgeries or extensive burns are associated with ______ ulcers
acute gastric ulcers; systemic acidosis and hypoxia: severe trauma and burns vagal stimulation: intracranial lesions
48
which gastric neoplasm is derived from the cells of Cajal (pacemaker cells)
GIST
49
rapid urease test and urea breath test are used to diagnose ______
H. pylori
50
what are 3 genetic conditions that are associated with congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis
- Turner syndrome - Trisomy 18 - esophageal atresia will see concentric hypertrophy of circular muscular coat
51
what are the two most common sites of involvement of gastric adenocarcinoma
- pylorus - antrum - cardia (25%) these are sites that have glands that secrete mucus
52
how do you differentiate between chronic gastritis caused by H. pylori vs. autoimmune?
autoimmune cause: atrophic gastritis - will see thick mucosal folds in H. Pylori caused chronic gastritis
53
glands that only secrete mucus are found in the ____ and ____
cardia and antrum cardia: part right under the esophagus antrum: part that is right before the pyloric canal which is before the pylorus
54
what drug is given to treat GIST?
Gleevec which is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor
55
Kit gene is a _______ and a mutation in these gene is seen in ______
tyrosine kinase inhibitor; GIST
56
reactive gastropathy is a precursor lesion for ulcers formed due to ______
NSAIDs - also other drugs and meds: iron - acid, alkali, alcohol - bile: due to duodeno pancreatic reflux has minimal inflammation
