[The rheological properties of the gastric mucus in peptic ulcer patients]. 1990

Iu Iu Borisov

As many as 57 patients with ulcer disease and 14 normal persons were examined for rheological properties of gastric mucus and gastric secretion in the basal period and in response to maximum stimulation with pentagastrin. It has been established that in patients with ulcer disease, elastic and viscous properties of parietal gastric mucus are decreased, with the intensity and the rate of rheological derangements being dependent on ulcer site. Changes in the rheological parameters of mucus are not related to pathological deviations in gastric secretion of acid and pepsin, occurring much more frequently than the latter ones. This fact points to the independent pathogenetic and diagnostic importance of the above changes.

D005753	Gastric Mucosa	Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.
