[Ultrastructural changes of gastric superficial epithelium cells in chronic Helicobacter gastritis]
Abstract:
Electron-microscopic investigations were carried out in 22 specimens of biopsy material from pyloric and fundal parts of the stomach in patients with chronic Helicobacter gastritis. In 6 cases of normal mucosa Helicobacter pylori (HP) was absent both in the antrum and fundus. In chronic antral gastritis HP was found in both regions. Variants of HP adhesion to the epithelium and its interactions were studied. It is demonstrated that HP may penetrate into intercellular spaces and cell cytoplasm. Cell reciprocal reaction to adhesion and invasion was accompanied by hyperplasia of the microvilli, clasmatosis and "selfsanation" phenomenon. Differences between ultrastructural changes in the antrum and fundus were considered.

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...
Mucosal Barrier of the Stomach
Within parietal cells, carbonic acid is first formed through the reaction of water and carbon dioxide. The dissociation of carbonic acid releases bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. The bicarbonate...
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...
