Objective:
To evaluate through clinical trials the risk of various aspirin preparations on the gastric mucosa.
Data Sources:
Articles reporting clinical research were accessed through MEDLINE (1980-November 1998). Key search terms included enteric-coated aspirin, buffered aspirin, and gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding.
Data Synthesis:
Aspirin products are known to cause GI bleeding. Enteric-coated aspirin may provide an additional protective effect on gastric mucosa compared with buffered aspirin. An evaluation of studies comparing various aspirin preparations and the risk of gastric mucosal injury was conducted.
Conclusions:
For long-term use, enteric-coated aspirin may provide a safer alternative than buffered aspirin; however, further studies are necessary.

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
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.
