the effect of cortisone on the experimental gastric ulceration produced by intraperitoneal injection of aspirin in the rat is studied. cortisone has significantly prevented the appearance of aspirin_ induced gastric ulceration. the possible mechanism of this effect of cortisone is discussed.

invasive gastric mucormycosis is a rare and fatal disease. we report a rare case with longstanding sle who presented with fever. autopsy showed multiple small shallow-based ulcers in the antrum. histologic examination showed invasive mucormycosis. this is a rare case of invasive gastric mucormycosis localized exelusively in the stomach.

Gastric ulceration was recognized as an occasional complication of vagotomy soon after Dragstedt championed the operation for the treatment of duodenal ulceration (Dragstedt and Owens, 1943). Gastric atony and antral stasis were to be expected after vagotomy without adequate drainage of the gastric contents and it was perhaps not surprising that a number of patients should have developed lesser...

Fasting serum pyridoxal was assayed by an automated microbiological system in 50 patients with endoscopically confirmed active peptic ulceration. Thirty patients had gastric ulceration, 14 had duodenal, four had pyloric canal ulceration, and two had both a gastric and a duodenal ulcer. Serum pyridoxal was below normal in 28 of the gastric ulcer group and in one of the duodenal ulcer group. No d...

The potential involvement of neutrophils in the pathogenesis of indomethacin induced ulceration of the gastric antrum in the re-fed rat was studied. Indomethacin was associated with a time dependent increase in the extent and severity of ulceration, blood neutrophilia, neutrophil infiltration into the gastric antrum, and calcium ionophore induced immunoreactive leukotriene B4 (LTB4) release fro...

Objective: The plant Ocimum basilicum belonging to family Lamiaceae is used in Skin disease, eye disease, fever and wounds. The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of Ocimum basilicum whole plant (ethanolic and aqueous extract p.o.) on gastric and duodenal ulceration. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out on duodenal ulceration models such as cysteamine induced ulcer...

The fasting serum level of gastrin was determined by radioimmunoassay in 41 normal subjects, 27 patients with duodenal ulceration, 12 patients with gastric ulceration, and 8 patients following "complete" vagotomy. The patients with duodenal ulceration had significantly higher serum levels of gastrin (1.3 +/- S.D. 0.7 ng./ml.) than normal subjects (0.4 +/- S.D. 0.3 ng./ml.), patients with gastri...

A young woman with persistent postprandial vomiting was found to have a high-grade proximal jejunal stricture. The stricture was surgically excised, and histopathological examination showed gastric heterotopia with localised ulceration and fibrosis. Symptomatic gastric heterotopia in the small bowel is rare, and to our knowledge this is the first report of jejunal gastric heterotopia resulting ...

The present study investigated whether neurons in the lateral hypothalamus (LH) play a role in the occurrence of gastric ulcerations induced by cold-water restraint. The first experiment indicated that bilateral N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) lesions of the LH (20μg/1μl per side) reduced the amount of gastric ulceration induced by cold-water restraint. In the second experiment, the NMDA antagonist...
