Path Peptic disease Flashcards
mucus cells
secrete mucus around entrance to gastric pit
parietal cells: what they produce
how do they produce it?
Triggered by what 4 things?
secretes HCl across H-K-ATPase
adenyl cyclase, cAMP pathway
triggered by ACh (vagal)
gastrin (from G cells)
Histamine (from ECL cells)
prostaglandin I/E
what causes ECL cells to secrete and what do they secrete?
Secrete histamine
chyme in duodenum -> CCK, secretin
what protects epithelium from acid in stomach?
mucus-bicarb
peptic ulcer disease (PUD)
defect in GI mucosa extending through muscularis mucosae.
on the decline
symptoms of peptic ulcer
abdominal pain (80%, may be nocturnal or relieved with food) nausea, anorexia
epidemiology of PUD
more common in elderly & those taking nsaids
risk factors for PUD (5)
Helicobacter pylori gastritis ASA, NSAIDS, clopidogrel smoking genetics acid must be present
what must be present for PUD?
acid
chronic conditions associated with PUD? (4)
ICU & vent
cirrhosis
organ transplants
COPD
(prophylaxis common)
bacteria common in PUD & %
Helicobacter pylori in 70% of PUD
% of helicobacter pylori inhabited pts with PUD
10-15%
4 virulence factor of H. pylori
description
urease (resistance to HCl)
LPS (inflammation)
CagA (cytotoxin-associated gene A, -> p53)
T4SS pilus (syringe-like structure)
4-6 flagella. gram-negative, spiral-shaped
effect of eradication of H. pylori on PUD patients?
reduced recurrence observed in studies
Factors contributing to getting PUD & H pylori
genetic predisposition & family co-incidence
Ulcers from NSAIDS vs H. pylori
increasing, decreasing
rank of NSAIDs related death
15th most common cause of death in USA
high & moderate risk factors for NSAID GI tox
High risk factors:
Hx of complicated ulcer, >2 risk factors
moderate risk factors:
Age >65, high dose NSAIDs, hx of uncomplicated ulcer, aspirin (any dose), glucocorticoids, anticoagulants
