17
Q

Describe what occurs in collagenous colitis

A

Infilitration of lymphocytes into colonic epithelium AND Distinctive thickening of sub-epithelial collagen layer.

Thickened collagen layer

  • serves as a diffusion barrier
  • reduced Cl- & Na+ absorption

Thickened sub epithelial collagen layer in lamina propia

18
Q

Compare lymphocyte colitis to collagenous colitis?

A

LC

  • infiltration of lymphocytes into colonic epithelium
  • preservation of crypt architecture

CC
- infiltration lymphocytes into colonic epithelium and distinctive thickening of sub-epithelial collagen.

19
Q

Why might patients with collagenous colitis get secretory diarrhoea?

A

Increase in immunoreactive prostaglandin E2 & NO in colonic epithelium, may contribute to a secretory diarrhoea.

Thickened collagen layer serving as diffusion barrier, hence reduced net Na+. Cl- absorption.
- epithelium loses ability to absorb ion

20
Q

Drugs which may cause diarrhoea

A 
NSAIDs
Ranitidine 
Omeprazole 
Lansoprazole 
Tidopinin
21
Q

Describe action of Histamine 2- receptors

A

Inhibit H+ secretion.
Raise pH.
May increase permeability and function of intestinal barrier.
Intestinal microbiota composition altered.

22
Q

Describe the role of intrinsic factor in absorption of b12

A

Parietal cells - intrinsic factor

  • Dietary B12 binds to R-factor (secreted from salivary glands)
  • Pancreatic enzymes cleave B12 from R-factor
  • B12 allowed to bind to IF
  • B12 & IF complex bind to receptors on ileum
  • receptors allow for absorption of b12
23
Q

Summarise functions of different parts of small bowel

A
  1. Duodenum: receives acidic content from stomach which are neutralised by pancreatic secretions and bile added to facilitate fat absorption
  2. Jejunum: secretion of water, nutrient absorption
  3. Ileum: longest segment and responsible for processing carbs and proteins
  4. Terminal ileum: B12 absorption and bile acid absorption
24
Q

Very briefly describe the entero-hepatic circulation of bile

A
  1. RBC broken down as aa removed from globin to leave ‘heme’
  2. Haem oxidised -> bilivirdin
  3. reduced to –> bilirubin
  4. bilirubin conjugated (addition of aa) to make it water soluble
  5. Conjugated bilirubin converted to urobilogen by bacterial proteases
  6. then to stercobilinogen (excreted in faeces)
  7. Conjugated bilirubin excreted from liver with primary and secondary bile acids: BILE!
25
Q

Function of the colon

A
  • absorption of water and electrolytes
  • breakdown of fibre by colonic bacteria to short chain fatty acids
  • formation and elimination of faeces
26
Q

Gastroparesis

A

Stomach cannot empty itself of food in a normal fashion.

27
Q

Billroth II

A

Greater curvature of stomach, connected to first part of jejunum in end to side anastomoss.

Follows resection of antrum.

28
Q

Billroth I

A

Pylorus removed.

Distal stomach anastomosed directly to the duodenum.

29
Q

Describe dumping

A
  • post prandial flushing, hypotension, diarrhoea and hypoglycaemia
  • caused by dysregulated gastric emptying, osmotic load and peptide hormone release
30
Q

Management of dumping

A
  • diet
  • antidiarroreals
  • SSI - octreotide
31
Q

Octreotide

A

Octapeptide mimicing somatostatin.

Potent inhibitor of GH, glucagon and insulin.

32
Q

Effect on gut function of Right hemicolectomy

A

Ileocaecal resection
- uncompensated limited absorption of sodium against electrochemical gradient.

Terminal ileal resection

  • permanent reduction in vitamin B12 absorption - parenteral replacement
  • reduced bile acid absorption resulting in bile mediated fluid and electrolyte secretion by colon
33
Q

Describe briefly some mechanisms of peptic ulcer disease

A

Gastric mucosal integrity depends on careful balance of secretion of aggressive (acid, pepsin) and defensive (HCO3, mucin and substances)

Pepsin (proteolytic enzyme)

34
Q

State some causes of peptic ulcer disease

A
  • H.Pylori infection
  • medications: NSAIDs, aspirin
  • Hypersecretory conditions (ZE)
  • Curling ulcer (stress induced)`
35
Q

Curlings ulcer

A

Acute gastric erosion resulting as a complication from severe burns when reduced plasma volume leads to ischaemia and cell necrosis.
- sloughing of the gastric mucosa

36
Q

How do prostoglandins stimulate gastric protection and how do NSAIDs effect this

A

Production of

  • mucus
  • bicarbonate
  • phospholipid
  • mucosal blood flow

NSAIDs
- inhibit COX1 and 2 , enzymes essential to prostoglandin synthesis

37
Q

Effect of inhibition of COX 1

A

Expressed in stomach.

Inhibition results in reduced mucosal blood flow and reduced mucosal defence.

38
Q

Osmotic diarrhoea

A

Increased solute in lumen drives osmotic diarrhoea.

Fasting usually resolves osmotic diarrhoea

39
Q

Secretory diarrhoea

A

Body secretes electrolytes into intestine.
Causes water to build up.
Not resolved by fasting.

40
Q

Inflammatory diarrhoea

A

Breach of GI barrier and disruption of epithelium

  • reduced absorption
  • inflammatory response stimulates secretion
    e. g. Microscopic colitis , chemotherapy
41
Q

Antibiotic associated diarrhoea

A

Disturbance of colonic microflora.
Osmotic diarrhoea due to loss of bacteria that metabolise non-absorbed carbohydrates and bile acids.
- increased motility

42
Q

Microscopic colitis associated diarrhoea

A

Syndrome of watery diarrhoea with normal colonic appearances and histologic changes of inflammation with or without thickening of the sub epithelial collagen table.
