[The factors of cell immunity in patients with peptic ulcer of duodenum]
Abstract:
20 patients with peptic ulcer disease of duodenum were studied. We found that metabolic activity of neutrophils in peripheral blood and in mucosa is the same in patients with complicated peptic ulcer. The absorption activity of tissue neutrophils is higher than in blood. During operation we observed an increase of neutrophils' activity both in blood and mucosa. On the 6th day after operation the response of neutrophils recovered. In patients who undergo conservative treatment for peptic ulcer of duodenum the activity of neutrophils decreased significantly. This emphasizes that immunocorrection treatment is indicated to all patients that receive conservative treatment for peptic ulcer.

Pathophysiology of Peptic Ulcer Disease: Injurious Factors
In the antrum region, G cells secrete the gastrin hormone that binds to gastrin-cholecystokinin-B (CCK2) receptors on parietal and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the fundic glands. Simultaneously, the vagus nerve releases acetylcholine, which binds to M3...

Peptic Ulcer Disease II: Pathophysiology
Damaging agents such as Helicobacter pylori, gastric acid, pepsin, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can weaken the mucosal defense, allowing hydrogen ions to infiltrate back and harm epithelial cells.

Peptic Ulcer Disease I: Introduction
An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.
Peptic ulcers can also be...
