types of peptic ulcer.
Gastric and duodenal ulcers
Causes of peptic ulcer
(1) Helicobacter Pylori (HP) infection,
(2) Use of non-steroid anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
(3) Stress-relatedmucosal disease (SRMD)
Stress-relatedmucosal disease (SRMD) includes
stress-related injury (superficialmucosal damage)
stress ulcers (focal deep mucosal damage).
Both types of Stress-relatedmucosal disease (SRMD) are caused by
mucosal ischemia
Stress-related mucosal damage onset is
usually acute
Both types of Stress-relatedmucosal disease (SRMD) show a propensity ميلfor
the acid-producing body and fundus
Stress-related mucosal damage is thought to be caused by factors such as
low mesenteric perfusion rather than HP or NSAIDs
Stress-related mucosal damage in a
small proportion of patients may progress to deep ulceration and hemorrhage
Less common causes of peptic ulceration include
- Zollinger- Ellison syndrome (ZES),
- cancer chemotherapy/ radiation,
- illicit-drug
illicit-drug cause
vascular insufficiency.
ZES is caused
by a gastrin-producing tumor called a gastrinoma found in pancreases and
results in gastric acid hyper-secretion.
Helicobacter pylorus normally resides in
in the human stomach
Helicobacter pylorus is transmitted via
the fecal-oral route or
through ingestion of fecal-contaminated water or food
Helicobacter pylorus Infection is more common in developing countries because
of crowded conditions and
the presence of contaminated food and water
Helicobacter pylorus Cellular active infection is usually
asymptomatic and
leads to chronic active gastritis
Helicobacter pylorus colonization does not necessarily reflect an
active infection since the organism can attach itself to the gastric epithelium without invading
cells
Helicobacter pylorus Cellular invasion is
necessary for an active infection
Helicobacter pylorus are
(a) gram-negative
(b) micro-aerophilic
(c) rod shape
(d) S-shaped bacterium
(e) multiple flagella
) multiple flagella that initially invade the
gastric antrum but migrates to the more
proximal sections
Helicobacter pylori causes
75% of gastric ulcers
90% of duodenal ulcers
mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma
adenocarcinoma
