PUD Flashcards
1
Q
pepsinogen secretion is increased by
A
- gastrin
- histamine
- vagal stimulation
2
Q
pepsin activation
A
- maximally active at pH 1-3 and are rapidly inactivated at pH above 4.5
3
Q
two forms of gastrin
A
- G-34: about 2/3 of gastrin in fasting subjects, half life about 30 minutes
- G-17: increases during meal time, half life about 7 minutes
4
Q
basal secretion of gastric acid
A
- takes place during fasting
- high rates in the evening and low in the morning
- dependent on the vagus nerve
5
Q
3 phases of gastric acid secretion
A
- cephalic phase: secretion in response to senses
- gastric phase: secretion triggered by food in the stomach
- intestinal phase: secretion triggered by entry of food into the duodenum
6
Q
stimulation of parietal cells
A
- vagal stimulation
- ACh
- histamine
- gastrin
7
Q
inhibition of parietal cell secreiton
A
- luminal acid
- prostaglandins
- endogenous peptides (secretin, somatostatin, glucagon, GIP, peptide Y)
- drugs
8
Q
pernicious anemia
A
- decrease of intrinsic factor due to antibodies against parietal cells
9
Q
diseases associated with increased acid-pepsin secretion
A
- duodenal ulcer
- ZES: uncontrolled acid secretion due to higher levels of gastrin, islet cell tumor in pancreas, can be associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type I (MEN1) syndrome
10
Q
erosive and hemorrhagic gastritis
A
- seen seriously ill patients as stress lesions
- can be caused by drugs or trauma and physical agents such as NG tubes, reflux injury
11
Q
H. pylori associations
A
- healthy adults
- duodenal ulcer
- gastric ulcer
12
Q
type A gastritis
A
- autoimmune/genetic
- found in fundus and body
- mucosal damage is progressive
- onset at old age (above 60)
- associated with cancer
- achlorhydria, parietal cell antibodies, mucosal gastric biopsy
- treat with lifelong B12 and cancer surveillance
13
Q
type B gastritis
A
- H. pylori infection
- found in antrum
- damage may regress with treatment
- onset at early or middle age
- associated with ulcers
- urea breath positive, H. pylori antibodies and present on biopsy
- treatment usually not required
14
Q
chronic atrophic gastritis (autoimmune corpus gastritis)
A
- involves the gastric fundus and body
- histologic damage is progressive
- final expression is pernicious anemia
- associated with B12 deficiency, long term parental B12 required
15
Q
common forms of peptic ulcer
A
- H- pylori: associated
- NSAIDs: associated
- stress ulcer
