Abstract:
Our understanding of the function and etiology of various gastric diseases has exponentially expanded over the past 40 years. In particular, several animal models had been devised and used for screening of anti-ulcer drugs and elucidation of pathogenesis. This review describes how water-immersion stress ulcer model, Helicobacter pylori ulcer model, and acetic acid ulcer models were established in experimental animals. In recent years, genetically modified mice allowed rapid accumulation of very important findings. H(2)-receptor knockout mice revealed to exhibit Menetrier's disease-like gastric mucosal changes. Gastrin-transgenic mice infected with H. pylori revealed to develop gastric cancer. The hypothesis for the origin of parietal cells was provided.

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...
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...

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...
