Campylobacter pylori and peptic ulcer disease
1Department of Medicine, Veterans Administration Medical Center, Houston, Texas.
Abstract:
Campylobacter pylori is now known to be the most common and important cause of gastritis, and C. pylori infections have been associated with duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer, nonulcer dyspepsia, and gastric cancer. Although it has been only possible to culture C. pylori for about 5 yr, there are already sufficient data available to allow us to develop the basic framework that relates C. pylori gastritis to the causation of peptic ulcer disease. We review the data and propose mechanisms that implicate C. pylori as an important factor in the pathogenesis of peptic ulcer disease and consider the therapeutic implications. What we now know about C. pylori begins to unravel some of the mysteries surrounding peptic ulcer disease.

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...
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...
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.
