[Current pathogenetic principles in peptic ulcer]. 1992

New concepts in the pathophysiology of peptic ulcers must acknowledge 1. the close association of ulcers and Helicobacter pylori infection, 2. the protective role of endogenous prostaglandins, 3. the scarcity of new data on the importance of acidity (though presence of gastric acid remains indispensible for ulcer development). The different pathophysiologically relevant factors closely interact with each other. However, many not of actual concepts are still experimental and--apart from Helicobacter pylori--have not yet led to new therapeutical approaches.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010437 Peptic Ulcer Ulcer that occurs in the regions of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT which come into contact with GASTRIC JUICE containing PEPSIN and GASTRIC ACID. It occurs when there are defects in the MUCOSA barrier. The common forms of peptic ulcers are associated with HELICOBACTER PYLORI and the consumption of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS).

D016480 Helicobacter pylori A spiral bacterium active as a human gastric pathogen. It is a gram-negative, urease-positive, curved or slightly spiral organism initially isolated in 1982 from patients with lesions of gastritis or peptic ulcers in Western Australia. Helicobacter pylori was originally classified in the genus CAMPYLOBACTER, but RNA sequencing, cellular fatty acid profiles, growth patterns, and other taxonomic characteristics indicate that the micro-organism should be included in the genus HELICOBACTER. It has been officially transferred to Helicobacter gen. nov. (see Int J Syst Bacteriol 1989 Oct;39(4):297-405).
