Abstract:
Morphology of gastric mucosa is characterized in the presence of Helicobacter pylori (HP) and Herpes viruses (HSV-1 and CMV). A total of 85 patients were examined (20 patients with primary APS and 65 with SLE). Chronic active gastritis was revealed in 85% patients with APS and 96% with SLE. 60% patients with APS and 45% with SLE had mucosal erosions. HP was detected in 70-87% of cases. Mixed infection of the gastric mucosa was observed in all the groups which was significantly associated with increased fibroblast and plasma cell number in the tunica propria. Tissue eosinophilia of the antral part of the stomach was observed in 39% of SLE patients. Glucocorticoid therapy was not associated with erosions and was combined with vascular thrombosis of gastric mucosa.

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...

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...
