[Changes in the parietal cells of the gastric mucosa in liver cirrhosis]
Abstract:
The delomorphus cells of gastric mucosa in patients with liver cirrhosis and healthy subjects were investigated. They were counted according to Card and Marks method, their number being determined in 0,005 mm2 mucosa. In the patients with liver cirrhosis, corresponding to the stage of gastric mucosa alterations, a considerable decrease of the delomorphus cell number was established as compared with the healthy subjects. Succindehydrogenase activity in them is also decreased. Those data correlate with the hypo- and anacidity in patients with liver cirrhosis, observed and described at the clinic and come to confirm the correlation between the functional and structural state of gastric mucosa.

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...
