Helicobacter pylori prevalence is decreasing globally and prevalence of non H. pylori gastric ulcers is increasing. The following study was conducted to assess the prevalence of H. pylori in benign gastric ulcers in a sample of Sri Lankan patients. This was a cross-sectional study of 59 dyspeptic patients with benign gastric ulcers. Multiple endoscopic gastric biopsies were obtained and histolo...

The effect of oral administration of raw camel milk (5 ml/kg b.wt.) on ethanol– and aspirin–induced gastric ulcers was tested in rats. Oral administration of camel milk in rats with ethanol–induced gastric ulcer, significantly (P < 0.05) redudced the number of long ulcers, average length of ulcers, ulcer index and the volume of gastric juice. The total protein was significantly (P < 0.05) incre...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that administration of obestatin exhibits a protective effect in the pancreas, attenuating the development of acute pancreatitis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of obestatin administration on the healing of chronic gastric ulcers. MATERIAL/METHODS Chronic gastric ulcers were induced in rats by 100% acetic acid applied to th...

Gastric Helicobacter The discovery of the association of Helicobacter pylori with gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric neoplasia has led to fundamental changes in the understanding of gastric disease in humans. Investigation of the relationship of gastric disease to Helicobacter spp. in other animals has resulted in the discovery of H. mustelae in ferrets with gastritis and peptic ulcers, H. a...

The effect of central administration of ondansetron, a 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonist on gastric secretion and gastric cytoprotection was evaluated using four different models of gastric ulcers and cysteamine induced duodenal ulcer. Ondansetron was administered at two different doses of 20 microg/kg, intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) and 40 microg/kg, i.c.v. Both doses of onda...

INTRODUCTION Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) occurs throughout the world and causes gastroduodenal diseases. There is data indicating a change in the prevalence of H. pylori infection worldwide. The prevalence of H. pylori is 80% in Turkey, while it is higher in many developing countries, and the rate of infection varies throughout the world. In many developing countries, the prevalence of infe...

Long-term (1990-1996) results of recording gastric ulcers in the common dolphin are presented for the NW Spanish Atlantic coast. The occurrence and abundance of cetacean carcasses (belonging to 10 species) with gastric ulcers are also given and discussed. Ulcerations were detected in 17.2% of the animals examined, with 15% for common dolphins and 0 to 29.4% in other cetacean species. A positive...

SEKINE, T. and SHIRATORI, T. Significance of Local Circulatory Disturbance in the Experimental Production of Gastric Ulcer. Tohoku J. exp. Med ., 1974, 114 (2), 121-130 Experimental gastric ulcers were produced by ligating gastric vessels accompanied with or without histamine administration. A total of 62 adult mongrel dogs were divided into five groups, and intramuscular injection of histamine...
