About one-half of the world’s population are infected with Hp. It disrupts a protective layer of mucous and its enzymes and toxins can cause stomach and duodenum cells injury → develop ulcer or more serious problems—Cancer null南京医科大学第二附属医院Introduction of peptic ulcer (PU) Mechanisms There is an effective balance between the defensive factors and aggressive(damage) factors, Disruption of this balance leads to peptic ulcer. null南京医科大学第二附属医院Introduction of peptic ulcer (PU) Mechanisms Aggressive factors Defensive factors acid, pepsin, bile, pancreatic enzymes, Hp,et al bicarbonate, mucus, mucosal blood flow, cell renewal,et al null南京医科大学第二附属医院Introduction of peptic ulcer (PU) Symptoms Pain ( 70 percent ) Nausea ( 50 percent ) Vomiting ( 20 percent ) Weight loss ( 20 percent ) Bleeding ( 15 percent )null南京医科大学第二附属医院Diagnosis Introduction of peptic ulcer (PU) bases on the history and physical examination and depends on radiography or endoscopy
Endoscopy is more accurate and allows directed biopsy, cytologic study and Hp diagnosis.
