STOMACH Cell types: • Mucosal surface & foveolae: • Surface foveolar cells - secrete mucous • Mucous neck cells - progenitor cells • Glands: • Mucous cells - secrete mucous & pepsinogen II • Parietal cells - secrete HCl & IF • Chief cells - secrete pepsinogen I & II • Endocrine cells - secrete peptide & amine hormones
CONGENITAL ANOMALIES • Diaphragmatic Hernia: • Defect in diaphragm, away from esophageal hiatus • Portions of stomach & SI herniate pulmonary hypoplasia & respiratory impairment
CONGENITAL ANOMALIES • Heterotopic rests: • Location: Anywhere in the GIT • MC: Pancreatic & gastric • S/S: Usually asymptomatic but may cause ulceration
CONGENITAL ANOMALIES • Congenital Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis:CHiPs • M > F (3:1), 1 in 200 infant males, multifactorial inheritance • Cause: • Hypertrophy & hyperplasia of circular muscle of pylorus regurgitation, projectile non- bilious vomiting commences at 2 - 6 wks of age • May be due to defective autonomic regulation • Dx: Visible peristalsis & palpable mass in RUQ • Tx: Pyloromyotomy is curative
ACUTE GASTRITIS • Other Causes: • Ingestion of strong acids or alkali • Ca chemotx • Radiation • Ischemia & shock • NGTs
- Reduced mucosal blood flow - Direct damage to mucosal epithelium
ACUTE GASTRITIS • Clinically: • Asymptomatic to epigastric pain of varying severity, up to acute abdomen w/ hematemesis & shock • major cause of massive hematemesis (esp. alcoholics) • Common in those who take daily aspirin for RA
ACUTE GASTRITIS • Morphology: • Mucosal edema & congestion, PMN infiltration (milder cases) • Erosions (not deeper than muscularis mucosa) & hges (acute erosive gastritis)
CHRONIC GASTRITIS • Pathogenesis: • Autoimmune: Abs to parietal cells parietal cell destruction ( HCl & IF) • Environmental: • Chronic infection by H. pylori • Alcohol, tobacco, radiation, bile reflux, Crohn’s disease, uremia, gastric atony
CHRONIC GASTRITIS • Gross: • Red mucosa (thickened or flattened) • Autoimmune fundus & body • H pylori antrum & body • Bile reflux antrum
Histology: Lympho & plasma cell infiltrates in LP (superficial or involving entire mucosal thickness) Others: Regenerative atypia Intestinal metaplasia Atrophy Dysplasia CHRONIC GASTRITIS
CHRONIC GASTRITIS • Clinical: • Mild abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, hypochlorhydria • Autoimmune gastritis: • Hypo- / a- chlorhydria, hypergastrinemia, ~ 10% overt PA, long-term risk of Ca is 2-4%
~ 50% of asymptomatic American adults > 50 yrs are infected Dx: CLO test Diseases Association: Chronic gastritis PUD Gastric ca/ lymphoma Helicobacter pylori
PEPTIC ULCERS • Usually solitary ~ 0.6 - 4 cm • MC: duodenum & antrum • Ratio of duodenal: gastric PU is ~ 4 : 1 • ~ 4 M Americans have PU • Life-time incidence in USA is 10% for men & 4% for women
