[The gastroduodenal peptic ulcerous disease (author's transl)]
Abstract:
After a brief history of gastroduodenal ulcer since the 19th century, the authors discuss the question of its uniqueness. Upon clinical, biological and genetic grounds, it seems possible to distinguish two different kinds of ulcers. Ulcers situated above the junction between fundic and antropyloric mucosae could possibly be the consequence of biliary reflux, while ulcers situated below this junction would be associated with hyperchlorhydria. Some properties of gastrin, which is responsible for Zollinger-Ellison syndromes I and II, are cited. Presently, gastrin cannot be considered as the primary cause of duodenal 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 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 Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
