Significance of gastric surface epithelial metaplasia in the duodenum
1Department of Surgery, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.
Abstract:
An experimental study was undertaken to establish whether normally occurring gastric surface epithelial metaplasia was increased in chronic duodenitis caused by explanting duodenal mucosa in dogs. All the histological changes of chronic duodenitis were observed in the explants. However, as established by morphometry, the distribution and the amount of gastric surface epithelial metaplasia remained unchanged in 9 dogs following periods of explantation from 3 months to 1 year. It was concluded that under these experimental conditions, gastric surface epithelial metaplasia was not a manifestation of chronic duodenitis.

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...
