21
Q

What are causes of acute gastritis?

A

Chemical:

  • Aspirin/NSAIDs
  • Alcohol
  • Corrosives

Infection:

  • e.g. Helicobacter pylori
22
Q

What is this?

A

Acute gastritis

23
Q

What are causes of chronic gastritis?

A

H. pylori associated:

Chemical (NSAIDs, bile reflux; antrum )

Autoimmune (body, auto-antibodies e.g. antiparietal)

Lymphocytes +/- Neutrophils

Mucosal Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) induction

(ABC: Autoimmune, Bacterial, Drugs)

24
Q

What is Helicobacter associated gastritis?

A

Caused by H. pylori.

Pattern: Chronic gastritis +/- activity

Outcome:

  • CLO-IM-Dysplasia,
  • Adenocarcinoma
  • Lymphoma (MALToma)
25
Q

What is this?

A

Helicobacter associated gastritis

26
Q

How is Helicobacter associated with cancer?

A

Helicobacter infection is associated with an 8x increased risk of (non-cardia) gastric cancer.

cag-A-positive H.pylori have a needle like appendage that injects toxin into intercellular junctions allowing the bacteria to attach more easily.

This strain is associated with more chronic inflammation.

Treatment of the infection with antibiotics drastically reduces the risk of cancer.

27
Q

What are other causes of gastritis?

A

Infection e.g. CMV, strongyloides (immunosuppression)

Inflammatory bowel disease: Crohn’s Disease

28
Q

What is this?

A

Gastric ulcer

29
Q

What is this?

A

Gastric ulcer

30
Q

Why should all ulcers be biopsied?

A

To exclude malignancy.

31
Q

What are complications associated with ulcers?

A

Bleeding:

  • Anaemia
  • Shock (massive haemorrhage)

Perforation:

  • Peritonitis
32
Q

What is intestinal metaplasia?

A

As in the oesophagus: Intestinal metaplasia in gastric mucosa in response to long term damage.

Increased cancer risk.

33
Q

What is this?

A

Intestinal metaplasia

34
Q

What is gastric epithelial dysplasia?

A

Abnormal epithelial pattern of growth.

Some of the cytological and histological features of malignancy are present, but no invasive through the basement membrane.

35
Q

What is this?

A

Gastric epithelial dysplasia

36
Q

What is the epidemiology of gastric cancer?

A

High incidence in Japan, Chile, Italy, China, Portugal, Russia.

More common in men (1.8:1 ♂:♀).

>95% of all malignant tumors in stomach are adenocarcinomas.

37
Q

What is this?

A

Gastric cancer

38
Q

What is this?

A

Gastric cancer

39
Q

What is gastric cancer and how can it be split?

A

95% of stomach cancers are adenocarcinoma.

These are split morphologically into:

  • Intestinal: Well differentiated.
  • Diffuse: Poorly differentiated (Linitis plastica), includes signet ring cell carcinoma.
40
Q

What is this?

A

Intestinal gastric cancer

41
Q

What is this?

A

Diffuse gastric cancer

42
Q

What are less common types of gastric cancer?

A

The remaining 5% is made up of:

  • Squamous cell carcinoma
  • Lymphoma (MALToma)
  • Gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST)
  • Neuroendocrine tumours
43
Q

What is the overall survival of gastric cancer?

A

Overall survival rate is 15%

44
Q

What is Gastric MALToma/Lymphoma and the treatment?

A

Chronic inflammation: Chronic immune stimulation

B cell (marginal zone) lymphocytes.

Treatment: If limited to the stomach and H.pylori is present - H.pylori eradication.

45
Q

What is this?

A

Gastric MALToma/Lymphoma

46
Q

What is this?

A

Gastric MALToma/Lymphoma

47
Q

What are the associations between duodenitis, duodenal ulcers and H. Pylori?

A

Increased acid production in the stomach which spills over into duodenum.

Chronic inflammation and gastric metaplasia with helicobacter infection.

48
Q

What is this?

A

Duodenal ulcer

49
Q

Which pathogens are responsible for duodenal ulcers?

A

Immunosuppressed:

CMV

Cryptosporidiosis

Giardia lamblia infection

Whipple’s disease -Tropheryma whippelii.

50
Q

What is seen on a histology slide for malabsorption?

A

Partial villous atrophy

Histology:

  • Villous atrophy
  • Crypt hyperplasia
  • Increased Intraepithelial lymphocytes: Normal range less than 20 lymphocytes /100 enterocytes
