[Stimulating effect of certain chemical carcinogens on gastric organ cultures]
Abstract:
Results of measuring the relative growth of the area surrounding the explants of nonibred rat embryonal stomach were studied after transplacental exposure to benz(a)pyrene (BP) and N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). The embryonal tissue of the rat stomach is marked by high sensitivity to the carcinogens. This was manifested in better survival of the test cultures. The magniture of the relative growth of the explants exposed to transplacental MNNG exceeded, over the same period of culture, the control measurements by 2.5--3.5 times on the average, while on transplacental administration of BP the largest growth was recorded on the 6th day.

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...
