[Reflux gastritis in duodenal ulcer]
Abstract:
The results of a comprehensive examination of 44 patients with duodenal ulcer are analyzed. Reflux gastritis was detected in almost 50% of the patients. X-ray method, gastroduodenoscopy, and radiologic method for measuring the duodenal reflux in gastric contents portions were employed to diagnose duodenogastric reflux and reflux gastritis. The radiologic method was found the most informative. Reflux gastritis was finally diagnosed after histologic examination of gastric mucosa biopsy specimens. Increased count of IgE cells in these specimens may be considered as the marker of reflux gastritis. The authors come to a conclusion that reflux gastritis degree should be taken into consideration when choosing a method for conservative and radical treatment of duodenal ulcers.

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...
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 Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
