Q

the cephalic phase is mediated by the ___ nerve. outline

A

by the vagus nerve. Ach acts on the G cell via Gastrin releasing peptide to stimulate gastrin release. this acts on the parietal cells. Ach also can act directly on the parietla cell to induce acid secretion.

Q

mechanisms that stimulate the gastric acid secretion during the gastric phase of digestion

A
  1. distention, stimulates the vagus nerve which releases Ach onto parietal cells and G cells to promote H+ release
  2. Amino acids– peptides can stimulate G cells to release gastrin which influence parietal cells to promote H+ release

Q

Outline the processes of the intestinal phase

A

protein digestion products in the duodenum stimulate acid secretion.

this is likely via intestinal G clels and gastrin release
IV administrationi can also induce acid secretion.

part of the intestinal phase may be due to absorbed AAs,
somatostatin released when pH is below three, this slows down acid production. When chyme gets released to intestines, parietal cells also get inhibited.

24
Q

DDx for hypergastrinemia (lots of gastrin)

A

Decreased acid production reasons: (there’s not enough acid so theres lots of G cells trying to stimulate more acid)

  • H2 blocker or PPI
  • H. Pylori
  • Atrophic corporal gastritis
  • Renal failure
  • Vagotomy

Normal/Increased Acid Production (inappropriate hypergastrinemia)

  • ZES
  • Retained antrum syndrome

  • gastric outlet obstruction
25
Q

DDx for hypergastrinemia (lots of gastrin)

A

Decreased acid production reasons: (there’s not enough acid so theres lots of G cells trying to stimulate more acid)

  • H2 blocker or PPI *if you stop PPI then hypergastrinemia should resolve if it’s “normal” hypergastrinemia causes
  • H. Pylori
  • Atrophic corporal gastritis
  • Renal failure
  • Vagotomy

Normal/Increased Acid Production (inappropriate hypergastrinemia)

  • ZES
  • Retained antrum syndrome
  • antral G cell hyperplasia
  • gastric outlet obstruction

(for in depth reasoning see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4527266/)

26
Q

secretory diarrhea and etiology

A

excessive secretion of electrolytes featuring watery diarrhea, persists with fasting. there is an absense of osmotic gap in fecal water

etiologies
- carcinoid syndrome
zollinger ellison
VIP-secreting pancreatic adnomas
-medullary carcinoma of thyroid
-villous ademoa of rectum
-microscopic colitis
- cholerrheic diarrhea
27
Q

what is secretin

A

a hormone produced by S cells in the duodenum

The major physiological actions of secretin are stimulation of pancreatic fluid and bicarbonate secretion. S cells in the small intestine emit secretin. Gastric acid stimulates secretin release, allowing movement into the duodenal lumen. Secretin causes an increase in pancreatic and biliary bicarbonate secretion and a decrease in gastric H+ secretion. Secretin stimulates the secretion of bicarbonate-rich pancreatic fluid.[11] Secretin enters the intestinal lumen and stimulates bicarbonate secretion, ultimately neutralizing gastric H+, which plays an essential role in fat digestion by creating a more neutral (pH 6 to 8) environment. H+ and fatty acids in the duodenum regulate secretin release.

28
Q

Secretin Stimulation test should be done when

A
  • gastrin is <1000pg/mL
  • if its actually gastric acid hypersecretion
  • pts are given excess secretin. Usually, secretin should inhibit gastrin and prevent H+ from being further released.
    The absence of physiologic suppression by secretin implies neoplastic autonomy of gastrin releasing sites. While an augmented gastrin response to secretin is commonly seen in patients with gastrinoma, from a physiologic standpoint, a lack of suppression constitutes a positive secretin suppression test.
29
Q

When should you diagnose gastrinoma following the secretin stimulation test?

A

1) if gastrin is over 1000 pg/ML and theres lots of HCl with a pH <2
2) or if gastrin rises >200pg/mL following secretin indusion in setting of increased HCl. Gastrin usually should be decreased if secretin is infused

30
Q

which vitamin are pts with ZES deficient in? What symptoms are associated with ZES

A

high levels of HCl and high levels of gastrin. steatorrhea resulting in ugly poops. heart burn, abdominal pain and weight loss are all associated. 1% of PUD

they are defiicnet in B12. there is also an inactivation of pancreativ enzymes

31
Q

ZES causes ulcer disease, increased HCl, and non beta islet cell tumors of the pancreas, plus gastrinoma tumors. most tumors are located in the pancreas and duodenum. What are the best methods of localizing gastrinomas and metastases

A 
CT
MRI
SRS Indium somatoreceptor scintigraphy **THE BEST ONE
SRS with CT
Gallium-enhanced PET
combined Gallium PET and CT
Endoscopic ultrasound
32
Q

Treatment of ZES

A
  1. Acid suppression via PPI
  2. Surgery on gastrinoma
  3. Octreotide (somatostatin analogue)– reduces acid secretion too
  4. chemotherapy (not really the standard of care though)
33
Q

Too much acid causes: (4 main)

A
  1. PUD
  2. esophagitis
  3. maldigestion/malabsorption
  4. enteropathy (other GI diseases)
34
Q

List of PUD symptoms

A

abdominal pain

  • worsens with food (gastric ulcers)
  • improves with food (duodenal ulcers)
  • worse in the middle of the night
  • relieved by taking antacid meds
bloating
nausea -- hematemesis or coffee ground emesis
weight loss
melena
fatigue
or no symptoms at all
35
Q

aggressive factors for ulcers(what makes ulcers worse/causes them in the first place)

A 
acid, pepsin
nsaids
alcohol
bile
h.pylori

vast majority of ulcers due to nsaids or H pylori

36
Q

protective factors against tumors

A

gastric blood flow (removes H+, provides energy to mucosa for better repair)

  • proper epithelial cell barrier function
  • epithelial cell extrusion of acid/buffering bicarbonate
  • mucus

IN DETAIL:

  1. unstired layer of mucus and bicarbonate
  2. surface epithelial cells with fast turnover
  3. cell renewal
  4. alkaline tide - acid shifts away to dif areas of the stomach to prevent erosion in one spot
  5. microcirculation– maintained by continuous generation of prostaglandins that prevent plately and leukocyte aggregation
  6. sensory nerves
  7. prostaglandins (PGE2 and PGIs) maintain and enhance all mucosal defensive mechanisms working synergistically with nitric oxide
37
Q

Is H. Pylor gram neg or positive

A

gram negative curved rod with flagella/ difficult to cultures.

38
Q

typical time of acquisition of H pylori

A

usually in childhood, especially in developing countries with poor sanitation or overcrowding or contaminated drinking water.

39
Q

explain the statistical relationship with Hpylori and PUD

A
  • in HP + pts it is 10-20%, whereas life time prevalence of PUD in general is 5-10%
  • ulcer recurrence following healing is 90% if H pylori is not truly eradicated.
  • H.pylori increases risk of NSAID for pain relied related to PUD too
40
Q

H.Pylori associated diseases

A

acute/chronic gastritis, gastric atrophy, gastric cancer, duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer, MALT lymphoma

41
Q

non endoscopic tests for H pylori

A

serological tests
urea breath test
fecal antigen test

42
Q

pros and cons for serological test

A

widelt available, least expensive compared to other tests.

cons: positive result may reflect previous rather than current infection

43
Q

pros and cons of urea breath test for h pylori

A

high negative and positive predictive values,

cons: false negative results possible in the presense of PPIs or with recent use of antibiotics

44
Q

pros and cons of fecal antigen test for h pylori

A

useful before and after treatment, its also reliable

cons: may be distasteful to the patient. and fase negative results

45
Q

endoscopic tests for H pylori

A

usease-bsaed tests– but also influenced by PPIs or recent antibiotic (false negative)
histological assessment– sensitive but requires trained personell
cultures.– takes a long time

46
Q

what type of enzyme does Hpylori make?

A

urease. for a CLOtest(urea breath test), you give labelled urea, and if theres lots of urease (lots of Hpylori), it breaks down to NH4 and labelled CO2.

47
Q

who to test for Hpylori

A
  • PUD
  • previous PUD
  • lowgrade gastric MALT lymphoma
  • history of endoscopic resection of early gastric cancer
  • initiating chronic treatment with an NSAID
  • unexplained iron deficiency anemia despite appropriate evaluation
  • pateints with ITP
  • patients with uninvestigated dyspepsia under than 60 years without alarm features
  • patients taking long term low dose ASA= chronic NSAID use might indicate a chronic problem
48
Q

  • PAMC: CLarithromycin, Amoxilicilin, Metronidazole

- PBMT: PPI, Bismuth subsalicylate, Metronidazole, Tetracycline

49
Q

second line of H pylory treatment

PBMT

  • PAL: PPI, amoxicillin, levoflocaxin
  • PAR: PPI, amoxicilin, rifabutin
50
Q

Overall treatment protocol of HPylori when combining first and second line treatment

A

PAMC, PAL, PBMT, PAR
or
PBMT, PAL, PBMT (optimized), PAR

51
Q

drug therapies for acid suppression

A 
PPIs
H2RA
Misoprostol
Bismuth
Antacids
Sucralate* old
Anticholinergics*
52
Q

different antacids

A

Mg hydroxides
Ca2+ hydroxides – can cause diarrhea
Aluminum– can cause constipation

53
Q

are biopsies necessary all the time to diagnose H pylori

A

not all the time because you can do serum Hpyl or fecal antigen or urease breath test

BUT if they’re on PPI, then it would create false negatives on urease or fecal antigen tests. Therefore, endoscopy is required if on previous PPIs because the HPyl cells might not be sensitive

usually if you have an endoscopy they should just take the biopsy anyway.
