Q

the pathogenesis of acute gastric ulcers is related to ____ and ____

A

the pathogenesis of acute gastric ulcers is related to systemic acidosis and hypoxia (severe trauma and burns) and vagal stimulation (intracranial lesions)

21
Q

list the sites of peptic ulcer disease

A
22
Q

list clinical features of a peptic ulcer

A
  • clinical features:
    • burning epigastric pain 1-3 hours after meals
    • relieved by food and alkali
    • worse at night
    • associated weight loss
    • gastric outlet obstruction
23
Q

list complications of peptic ulcers

A
  • complications:
    • bleeding
    • perforation
    • gastric outlet obstruction
    • malignant transformation:
      • unknown in duodenal ulcer and exceedingly rare in gastric ulcer
24
Q

a risk factor for ___ gastritis is severe burns, which causes ____

A

a risk factor for acute gastritis is severe burns, which causes Curling ulcer

caused by hypovolemia → decreased blood flow to stomach → blood can’t “sweep away” the acid or bring nutrients → acute gastritis

25
Q

a risk factor for ___ gastritis is increased intracranial pressure which leads to ____

explain how this occurs

A

a cause of acute gastritis is increased intracranial pressure which leads to Cushing ulcer

increased intracranial pressure → increased vagal stimulation → increased ACh → binds to parietal cell and increases acid production

26
Q

describe the mechanism of NSAID injury

A
  • inhibition of enzyme COX
    • rate limiting step in converting arachidonic acid to PGs
    • PGs protect gastric mucosa
      • maintain blood flow, increase mucus and bicarb. secretion and augment epithelial defenses
  • direct irritant
    • denudation of surface epi., increased mucosal permeability to ions
27
Q

intestinal gastric adenocarcinoma is associated with ____

A

intestinal gastric adenocarcinoma is associated with H. pylori

28
Q

diffuse gastric adenocarcinoma is caused by a mutation in ____

A

diffuse gastric adenocarcinoma is caused by a mutation in E-cadherin

29
Q

in diffuse gastric adenocarcinoma, ____ cells can be seen when the single cells proliferate (since they are detached from one another because of the mutation in E-cadherin)

A

in diffuse gastric adenocarcinoma, signet ring cells can be seen when the single cells proliferate (since they are detached from one another because of the mutation in E-cadherin)

30
Q

in diffuse gastric adenocarcinoma, there is a _____ appearance

A

in diffuse gastric adenocarcinoma, there is a linitis plastica appearance

31
Q

describe what is seen in the image

A

intestinal gastric adenocarcinoma

32
Q

describe what is seen in the image

A

diffuse gastric adenocarcinoma

33
Q

describe what is seen in the image

A

signet ring cells (diffuse gastric adenocarcinoma)

34
Q

early gastric carcinoma is confined to ___ and ___ regardless of ____

A

early gastric carcinoma is confined to mucosa and submucosa regardless of involvement of regional lymph nodes

35
Q

list clinical features of gastric adencarcinoma

A
  • mostly asymptomatic in early stages
  • non-specific weight loss, anorexia, abdominal pain
  • pyloric outlet obstruction
  • prognosis depends upon depth of invasion and nodal status
  • Krukenberg tumor: bilateral ovarian spread
  • Virchow node: left supraclavicular lymph node
36
Q

gastrointestinal stromal tumors are derived from ____

A

gastrointestinal stromal tumors are derived from cells of Cajal (the pacemaker cells)

37
Q

describe the appearance of GIST

A

whorls and bundles of spindle-shaped or epithelioid cells

38
Q

____ mutations are present in most GIST tumors

A

Kit mutations are present in most GIST tumors

39
Q

___, a KIT inhibitor, is used for malignant GIST

A

imatinib (Gleevec), a KIT inhibitor, is used for malignant GIST

40
Q

describe oral leukoplakia

A
  • well-defined white patch or plaque caused by epidermal thickening or hyperkeratosis
41
Q

oral leukoplakia is associated with…. (3 things)

A

oral leukoplakia is associated with:

  • tobacco use
  • chronic friction (ill-fitting dentures)
  • HPV infection
42
Q

oral leukoplakia are (removed or not removed?) with scraping

A

oral leukoplakia are not removed with scraping

43
Q

oral leukoplakia range from ___ to ____

A

oral leukoplakia range from benign epithelial lesions to highly dysplastic lesions

44
Q

oral hairy leukoplakia is seen in patients with ___ and is caused by ____

A

oral hairy leukoplakia is seen in patients with HIV and is caused by EBV

45
Q

what words are used to describe oral hairy leukoplakia?

A

white, confluent, fluffy hyperkeratotic thickenings

46
Q

there (is or is no) malignant potential in oral hairy leukoplakia

how does this differ from oral leukoplakia?

A

there IS NO malignant potential in oral hairy leukoplakia

oral leukoplakia has small chance of malignancy (there is dysplasia!)

47
Q

describe erythroplakia aka erythroplasia

A
  • red, velvety eroded area
  • poorly circumscribed
  • more atypical epithelial changes
    • typically marked dysplasia
  • malignant transformation in more than 50%
48
Q

what words are used to describe erythroplakia?

A

red, velvety, eroded area

49
Q

list the order of malignant potential seen in oral epithelial changes (oral leukoplakia, oral hairy leukoplakia, erythroplakia)

A

erythroplakia/erythroplasia >> oral leukoplakia

NO malignant potential in oral hairy leukoplakia
