[Histamine metabolism in patients with chronic gastritis]
Abstract:
Examination of 104 patients has demonstrated that in marked exacerbation of chronic gastritis, surface involvement of the gastric mucosa largely localized to the fundal part, high acid-peptic activity and short-term duration of the disease, absolute hyperhistaminemia are noted. Subsiding gastritis exacerbation, the presence of glands atrophy, primary involvement of the mucous membrane in the antral part of the stomach, secretory insufficiency, as well as the disease of many years are accompanied of absolute hypohistaminemia manifesting in a low blood histamine content, the activity of histaminase and histaminopexia being unchanged or elevated.

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...

Intestinal Phase of Digestion
The arrival of the chyme in the small intestine distends the duodenum, which triggers the enterogastric reflex. This distension...
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...
