Review article: Relationship between Helicobacter pylori, atrophic gastritis and gastric cancer

Abstract:
Helicobacter pylori causes chronic active inflammation of the gastric mucosa in the majority of infected patients. In a considerable number of them, this will eventually lead to a loss of gastric glands, and thus the establishment of atrophic gastritis. This is associated with the development of intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia. These consecutive conditions increase the risk for gastric cancer. particularly of the intestinal type. We reviewed the evidence that H. pylori plays an important role in this sequence of events that can lead to gastric cancer. This paper focuses on the difficulties in staging atrophic gastritis, the incidence and prevalence of this condition and the relation with H. pylori infection. Furthermore, it describes the evidence for the role of this organism and gastric mucosal atrophy in the aetiology of gastric cancer and focuses on the life-time incidence of gastric cancer in the presence of this bacterium.

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...
