Helicobacter pylori, gastric cancer and gastric epithelial kinetics: a review
Aim:
To review the evidence that Helicobacter pylori promotes gastric carcinogenesis, with particular reference to gastric epithelial proliferation.
Materials And Methods:
Gastric epithelial kinetics were reviewed and a series of studies of gastric mucosal proliferation in H. pylori-associated gastritis were performed in the intact and postsurgical stomach. In vitro bromodeoxyuridine labelling was performed on endoscopic antral biopsies from subjects with a normal gastric mucosa, with H. pylori-negative gastritis and with H. pylori-positive gastritis. The effect of eradication therapy was assessed. Corpus biopsies from the intact stomach were also examined and compared to body-type biopsies from the postsurgical stomach.
Results:
Cell proliferation was increased in patients with H. pylori-positive gastritis and returned to normal levels following eradication therapy. The presence of H. pylori in the postsurgical stomach had a synergistic effect on gastric epithelial proliferation.
Conclusions:
H. pylori may promote gastric carcinogenesis by increasing epithelial proliferation. H. pylori and bile appear to have a synergistic effect on gastric cell proliferation.

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...
