Peptic ulcer is the condition in which imbalance of aggressive factor and defensive
factors occours.
Peptic ulcers are localized erosions of the mucous membranes of the stomach or
duodenum. The pain associated with ulcers is caused by irritation of exposed
surfaces by the stomach acids.
H.pylori Phospholipid
The secretion of gastric acid by parietal cells of the oxyntic gland in the gastric
mucosa, producing 2 to 3 L of gastric juice per day, pH 1 in HCL .
- Cardiac - located at the upper portion of the stomach - prevents reflux of acid
into the esophagus.
- pyloric - located at the lower portion of the stomach - prevents reflux of acid into
the duodenum.
* Esophageal ulcers reflux of acidic gastric secretion into the esophagus d/t a
defective or incompetent cardiac sphincter
* Duodenal ulcers hypersecretion of acid from the stomach that passes to the
duodenum
Pathology: 2 types:
1) Those associated with organisms H-pylori.
2) Those associated with the use of aspirin, NSAIDS.
2) Use of non steroidal anti inflammatory agents (NSAIDS) .Agents such as aspirin
inhibits the enzyme CYCLOOXYGENASE 1 (COX-1)As COX-1 is responsible
for synthesis of prostaglandins that inhibit acid secretion and protect the gastric
mucosa.
Symptoms
Scarring and swelling due to ulcers causes narrowing in the duodenum and
gastric outlet obstruction. Patient often presents with severe vomiting.
Diagnosis:
1) Endoscopy 2) Radiology. 3) H-pylori detection. 4) Serological
test.
5) Urea breathe test. 6) Stool antigen test.
Treatment:
1) H2 Receptors Antagonists:
Therapeutic effects:
1 Promote the healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers 2 Gastro-esophageal
reflux
HEME: Thrombocytopenia.
Block the M1 class receptors & reduce acid production. abolish gastrointestinal
spasm .Relatively unpopular as a first choice because of high incidence of
anticholinergic side effects (dry mouth and blurred vision).
Irreversibly binds to H+/K+ ATPase & Prevents H+ ion production & secretion
Block all acid secretion & to return to normal must synthesize new H+/K+ ATPase
& Inhibit H. pylori.
4 Upper GI bleed.
Adverse effects:
Bone fractures (on long term therapy) Enzyme inhibitor On prolonged therapy
these agents suppress gastric acid results in less absorption of vit B12,and calcium
carbonate products. Diarrhea GI disturbances
4) Mucosal Protective Agents
5) Mucoprotectives:
MOA : by forming complex gels with epithelial cells,it creats a physical barrier
and prevents degradation of mucus by pepsin and acid ; stimulates PG ;inhibits
peptic digestion.
Adverse effects : should not given with agents which decreases HCl does not
prevent NSAID induced ulcer does not heal gastric ulcers.
2) Bismuth
6 Antacids: to neutralize the released HCl . These are weak bases those react with
gastric acid to form water and salt to diminish gastric acidity.
3) Mg(OH) diarrhea.
