Abstract:
The use of aspirin continues to increase as a result of accumulation of evidence of benefits in treatment strategies for cardiovascular disease. These antiplatelet agents, however, have recognizable risks of gastrointestinal complications such as ulceration and related bleeding. Based on the published guidelines in Japan, the cause of gastric ulcer is divided roughly into Helicobacter pylori infection and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) including aspirin. With the decrease of H. pylori infection rate in a young and that of ulcer recurrence by H. pylori eradication therapy, the cases with peptic ulcer that is come from H. pylori infection have decreased in Japan. On the other hand, gastric ulcer based on the use of aspirin and NSAID have increased. The author reviewed pathologic characteristics of gastric ulcer in the aged in this report.

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.
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.
