Abstract:
Investigations designed to study gastric mucosa (GM) in patients with chronic primary gastroduodenitis with the aid of electron microscopy showed the abnormal changes in the cellular, subcellular membranes and capillaries to be of the same type as they are in peptic ulcer (PU) though poorly manifest. Changes in GM under chronic atrophic gastroduodenitis (ChGD) suggested involutive changes while in chronic secondary gastroduodenitis (ChSGD) it was generally not different from the mucosa ultrastructure in healthy subjects except for changes in surface epithelium. Based on the histoenzymologic studies it has been ascertained that in ChPGD there occurs a rise in lysosomal enzymes similar to that encountered in PU, reflecting the intensity of catabolic processes, decrease in the activity of enzymes of the capillary wall and mitochondria respiratory chain against the background of compensatory enhancement of the activity of the glycolytic enzyme lactate dehydrogenase. In ChAGD the activity of all the enzymes was low, while in ChSGD it did not differ significantly from that in healthy subjects.

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...
Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
