    Study Notes

    Peptic Ulcer Disease and Reflux Esophagitis

    • Peptic ulcers are characterized by ulcers in the duodenum or stomach due to an imbalance between invasive forces (e.g., HCl, pepsin) and protective mechanisms.
    • Invasive factors contributing to ulcers include:
      • Increased secretion of HCl and pepsin by parietal cells.
      • Dietary influences, such as coffee, alcohol, and spicy foods.
      • Medications, particularly NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and opioids.
      • Infection with Helicobacter pylori, a gram-negative bacterium found in the stomach lining that can lead to tissue damage.
    • Helicobacter pylori diagnosis includes endoscopic biopsy or serological markers.

    Defensive Mechanisms

    • Mucus production by gastric mucosa helps protect the stomach lining.
    • Pancreatic bicarbonate secretion neutralizes gastric acid.
    • Adequate mucosal blood flow supports healing.
    • Local production of PGE2 and PGI2 helps maintain protective lining.

    Regulation of HCl Secretion

    • Acetylcholine increases HCl secretion via M1 receptors which elevate intracellular Ca²⁺ levels.
    • Gastrin enhances HCl secretion through G receptors, also increasing Ca²⁺ levels.
    • Histamine stimulates HCl secretion via H2 receptors, raising intracellular cAMP.
    • Both Ca²⁺ and cAMP activate the H⁺/K⁺ ATPase, commonly referred to as the "proton pump."
    • PGE2 and PGI2 work through PG receptors to reduce cAMP and thus lower HCl secretion.

    Clinical Presentation

    • Epigastric pain is common; diffuse and worsened by food in gastric ulcers (GU) and localized relief in duodenal ulcers (DU).
    • Potential complications include bleeding and anemia.
    • Diagnosis through endoscopy for visualizing ulcers or radiology with a barium meal.

    Therapy for Peptic Ulcer

    Non-Drug Therapy

    • Lifestyle modifications can aid in healing:
      • Rest and sedation can alleviate pain and promote ulcer healing.
      • Avoid smoking, alcohol, spices, coffee, and tea to minimize HCl production.
      • Manage stress, as it can exacerbate HCl secretion.
      • Avoid ulcerogenic medications, like NSAIDs.
      • Dietary recommendations include small frequent meals, encouraging milk and fats, and avoiding spices and fried foods.

    Pharmacological Therapy

    • Antacids neutralize HCl and reduce pepsin activity, offering symptomatic relief for hyperacidity but are not suitable for long-term use.
    • Antacid types include:
      • Sodium bicarbonate: can cause systemic absorption leading to salt and water retention or metabolic alkalosis.
      • Calcium carbonate: may lead to acid rebound due to gastrin stimulation.
      • Magnesium and aluminum salts (e.g., Mg hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide): have no systemic effects and poorly absorbed from the GIT.

    Medications That Affect HCl Secretion

    • Drugs that decrease HCl secretion:
      • Selective M1 blockers (pirenzepine, telenzepine).
      • H2 blockers (cimetidine, ranitidine, famotidine).
      • Proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole, lansoprazole).
    • Drugs that enhance mucosal defenses:
      • Sucralfate, colloid bismuth compounds, carbenoxolone, and PGE1 analogues (misoprostol).
    • Antimicrobial therapy targets H. pylori to promote healing.
    • Adjuvant treatments may include sedatives and multivitamins to reduce stress and enhance recovery.

    • Gastrin enhances HCl secretion through G receptors, also increasing Ca²⁺ levels.
    • Histamine stimulates HCl secretion via H2 receptors, raising intracellular cAMP.
    • Both Ca²⁺ and cAMP activate the H⁺/K⁺ ATPase, commonly referred to as the "proton pump."
    • PGE2 and PGI2 work through PG receptors to reduce cAMP and thus lower HCl secretion.

    Clinical Presentation

    • Epigastric pain is common; diffuse and worsened by food in gastric ulcers (GU) and localized relief in duodenal ulcers (DU).
    • Potential complications include bleeding and anemia.
    • Diagnosis through endoscopy for visualizing ulcers or radiology with a barium meal.

    Therapy for Peptic Ulcer

    Non-Drug Therapy

    • Lifestyle modifications can aid in healing:
      • Rest and sedation can alleviate pain and promote ulcer healing.
      • Avoid smoking, alcohol, spices, coffee, and tea to minimize HCl production.
      • Manage stress, as it can exacerbate HCl secretion.
      • Avoid ulcerogenic medications, like NSAIDs.
      • Dietary recommendations include small frequent meals, encouraging milk and fats, and avoiding spices and fried foods.

    Pharmacological Therapy

    • Antacids neutralize HCl and reduce pepsin activity, offering symptomatic relief for hyperacidity but are not suitable for long-term use.
    • Antacid types include:
      • Sodium bicarbonate: can cause systemic absorption leading to salt and water retention or metabolic alkalosis.
      • Calcium carbonate: may lead to acid rebound due to gastrin stimulation.
      • Magnesium and aluminum salts (e.g., Mg hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide): have no systemic effects and poorly absorbed from the GIT.

    Medications That Affect HCl Secretion

    • Drugs that decrease HCl secretion:
      • Selective M1 blockers (pirenzepine, telenzepine).
      • H2 blockers (cimetidine, ranitidine, famotidine).
      • Proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole, lansoprazole).
    • Drugs that enhance mucosal defenses:
      • Sucralfate, colloid bismuth compounds, carbenoxolone, and PGE1 analogues (misoprostol).
    • Antimicrobial therapy targets H. pylori to promote healing.
    • Adjuvant treatments may include sedatives and multivitamins to reduce stress and enhance recovery.

    Peptic Ulcer Disease and Reflux Esophagitis

    • Peptic ulcers are characterized by ulcers in the duodenum or stomach due to an imbalance between invasive forces (e.g., HCl, pepsin) and protective mechanisms.
    • Invasive factors contributing to ulcers include:
      • Increased secretion of HCl and pepsin by parietal cells.
      • Dietary influences, such as coffee, alcohol, and spicy foods.
      • Medications, particularly NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and opioids.
      • Infection with Helicobacter pylori, a gram-negative bacterium found in the stomach lining that can lead to tissue damage.
    • Helicobacter pylori diagnosis includes endoscopic biopsy or serological markers.

    Defensive Mechanisms

    • Mucus production by gastric mucosa helps protect the stomach lining.
    • Pancreatic bicarbonate secretion neutralizes gastric acid.
    • Adequate mucosal blood flow supports healing.
    • Local production of PGE2 and PGI2 helps maintain protective lining.

    Regulation of HCl Secretion

    • Acetylcholine increases HCl secretion via M1 receptors which elevate intracellular Ca²⁺ levels.
    • Gastrin enhances HCl secretion through G receptors, also increasing Ca²⁺ levels.
    • Histamine stimulates HCl secretion via H2 receptors, raising intracellular cAMP.
    • Both Ca²⁺ and cAMP activate the H⁺/K⁺ ATPase, commonly referred to as the "proton pump."
