Q

↑ ↑ levels of gastrin is seen in what cause of chronic gastritis?

A
  • seen in autoimmune gastritis because oxyntic glands cannot produce HCl (achlorhydria) so ↑ gastrin

however, with H. pylori, there e is still acid secretion in the stomach so can see ↑ or normal levels of gastrin

24
Q

signet cells are associated with which gastric condition?

A
  • diffuse gastric adenocarcinoma
25
Q

what are some secondary changes that can occur in chronic gastritis?

A
  • glandular atrophy
  • intestinal metaplasia (goblet cells in epithelium)
  • dysplasia
26
Q

gastric ulcers is described as loss of mucosa that extends through _____

A

muscular mucosae or deeper

27
Q

describe the mucosal cells seen on biopsy of a malignant GIST

A

normal mucosa (not in seen in gastric adneocarinoma) that covers the tumor is smooth

28
Q

describe some etiological factors for acute gastritis

A
  • NSAIDS
  • excessive alcohol consumption
  • heavy smoking
  • ischemia and shock
  • uremia
  • severe stress
29
Q

flat edges with a punched out out appearance is descriptive of _____

A

peptic ulcer

intestinal gastric adenocarcinoma has heaped up edges

30
Q

autoimmune gastritis where there is autoantibodies to ________ in the _________ part of the stomach, is associated with ↑ risk for ______ and _____

A

parietal cell antigens/IF
found in the fundus and body (corpus)
while chronic gastritis caused by H. pylori would be most commonly seen in the antrum

↑ risk for: gastric carcinoma and neuroendocrine tumors (carcincoids) aka Zollinger Ellison syndrome

31
Q

why is serology not a usually very good for diagnosing H. pylori infection?

A
  • the antibodies can be present longer than the organism, ever after treating the infection
32
Q

E cadherin gene mutation is associated with ________

A
  • diffuse gastric adenocarcinoma

- lobular carcinoma of the breast

33
Q

where can you expect to see peptic ulcers is Zollinger Ellison syndrome?

A
  • stomach
  • duodenum
  • jejunum

due to ↑ ↑ secretion of gastrin

34
Q

H. pylori is the most common cause of _____

A

peptic ulcers

35
Q

krukenberg tumor which is __________ is associated with which gastric disease

A

bilateral ovarian spread;

can be seen with gastric adenocarcinoma

36
Q

what are some acquired causes to pyloric stenosis?

A
  • chronic antral gastritis
  • peptic ulcers
  • malignancy
37
Q

biopsy of a patients stomach shows whorls and bundles of spindle shaped or epithelioid cells. What is the disease and the most commonly associated mutation

A

diagnosis: GIST
mutation: Kit (tyrosine kinase inhibitor)

38
Q

what are 4 conditions that are associated with H. pylori?

A
  • chronic gastritis (diffuse antral and multifocal atrophic)
  • peptic ulcer
    above two caused by enzymes released by H. pylori leading to mucosal damage
  • gastric carcinoma
  • gastric lymphoma (MALToma)
    above two due to H. pylori attacking PMN’s and inflammatory cells → uncontrolled B cell proliferation
39
Q

GIST (gastrointestinal stromal tumors) are derived from _________ and ____ mutations are present in most tumors

A
  • cells of Cajal (pacemaker cells)

- Kit mutations (tyrosine kinase inhibitor)

40
Q

H. pylori produces _______ and is gram _____

A

urease; gram negative

urease produces ammonia which allows it to survive in the very acidic conditions of the stomach

41
Q

ulcers with a necrotic base with granulation tissue is seen in _______

A

peptic ulcers (this a a chronic ulcer)

42
Q

heaped up edges with polypoid growth is seen in _____

A

intestinal gastric adenocarcinoma

peptic ulcer has flat edges

43
Q

is malignant transformation common in gastric and duodenal peptic ulcers?

A

no, but it is the surrounding gastritis that can lead to gastric carcinoma; NOT the ulcer

44
Q

where in the GI do you most commonly see ulcers due to H. Pylori infection

A

duodenum; (second is gastric ulcers)

45
Q

parietal cells secrete ____________

where are they found?

A

acid and intrinsic factor

corpus and fundus (body)

46
Q

thick walled stomach with flattened rugae is a description of stomach due to ______

A

diffuse adenocarcinoma (leather bottle stomach)

47
Q

severe trauma (head injuries) or major surgeries or extensive burns are associated with ______ ulcers

A

acute gastric ulcers;

systemic acidosis and hypoxia: severe trauma and burns
vagal stimulation: intracranial lesions

48
Q

which gastric neoplasm is derived from the cells of Cajal (pacemaker cells)

A

GIST

49
Q

rapid urease test and urea breath test are used to diagnose ______

A

H. pylori

50
Q

what are 3 genetic conditions that are associated with congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis

A
  • Turner syndrome
  • Trisomy 18
  • esophageal atresia

will see concentric hypertrophy of circular muscular coat

51
Q

what are the two most common sites of involvement of gastric adenocarcinoma

A
  • pylorus
  • antrum
  • cardia (25%)

these are sites that have glands that secrete mucus

52
Q

how do you differentiate between chronic gastritis caused by H. pylori vs. autoimmune?

A

autoimmune cause: atrophic gastritis

  • will see thick mucosal folds in H. Pylori caused chronic gastritis
53
Q

glands that only secrete mucus are found in the ____ and ____

A

cardia and antrum

cardia: part right under the esophagus
antrum: part that is right before the pyloric canal which is before the pylorus

54
Q

what drug is given to treat GIST?

A

Gleevec which is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor

55
Q

Kit gene is a _______ and a mutation in these gene is seen in ______

A

tyrosine kinase inhibitor; GIST

56
Q

reactive gastropathy is a precursor lesion for ulcers formed due to ______

A

NSAIDs

  • also other drugs and meds: iron
  • acid, alkali, alcohol
