Abstract:
The results of the treatment of 2384 patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers are analyzed. It is demonstrated that over last years the number of complications has increased: perforations -- 2.6 fold, and bleedings -- 7 fold. Markers of a destructive injury of gastric and duodenal mucosa (helicobacter contamination, immunological disorders, level of tumor necrotic factor alpha, indices of catabolism of connective tissue) were studied. It is revealed that such disorders have direct influence on destruction of gastric and duodenal wall manifesting as life-threatening complications.

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.
