Objective: The aim: To determine the peculiarities of indicators dynamic of cellular level of immunity in patients with gastroduodenal ulcer complicated by bleeding and microbial contamination the periulcerous area.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 80 patients with gastroduodenal ulcers complicated by bleeding were studied. Among patients in the main group, 18 (22.5%) cases were patients with bleeding gastric ulcer, 56 (70%) patients with bleeding ulcer of duodenum. The study of cellular immunity are B - CD19, Natural killers(NK) - CD16, T-helpers - CD4, T-regulatory - CD8.
Results: Results: An active bleeding according to the Forrest classification in patients with gastric ulcer 81.7% and in patients with ulcer of the duodenum 88.3%. Depending on the endoscopic hemostasis, there was a marked decrease in T-lymphocyte indices with CD4 growth to the reference rates in cases of active bleeding (from 13±2.4% to 26.4±1.2% p<0.05) and in hemostasis with high recurrence rate from 20.8±2.3% to 31.3±2.9% and from 22.6±1.3% to 39.8±2.9% p<0.05, respectively.
Conclusion: Conclusions: The study found a decrease in CD16 from 3.6±1.1% to 2.6±1.1% (p<0.05) and an increase in the level of CD4, CD8, CD19 to 37.4±1.1%, 4.4±1.1% (p<0.05) and 30.8±1.2% (p<0.05), respectively, indicating that there is a decrease in the immune response in patients with gastroduodenal bleeding of ulcerative genesis. In patients with microbial contamination of the periulcerous area by Streptococcus β-haemoliticus (107 CFU) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (106 CFU), gastric ulcers decreased the level of CD8 population from 7.3±2.1% to 7.3±2.1% to 6.4±7% (p<0.05) and from 5.8±2.8% to 4.1±2.3% (p<0.05), respectively, which may create favorable conditions for the development of recurrent bleeding.

The scope of management of malignant gastric outlet obstruction is ever-expanding. The therapeutic use of endoscopy is gaining popularity not just owing to its technical advancement and satisfactory patient outcomes. With technical success rates close to 96%, stent placement for palliating gastric obstruction has ensured a median survival of about 2 months post-deployment of gastro-duodenal stents.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a pervasive pathobiont, colonizes the gastric mucosa and plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of several gastroduodenal pathologies ranging from chronic gastritis to more severe disorders including peptic ulcer disease, gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, and gastric adenocarcinoma. In symptomatic patients, endoscopy and histological examination of the gastric mucosa are the preferred tests for diagnosing H.

Introduction And Importance: Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome, or aorto-mesenteric clamp syndrome, is a rare condition where the third portion of the duodenum is compressed between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. This syndrome often affects adolescents and young adults, with predisposing factors including significant weight loss, anatomical variations, and spinal deformities. Early diagnosis and intervention are critical for managing symptoms and preventing complications.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFunctional dyspepsia (FD) is a gut-brain axis disorder characterized by postprandial fullness, early satiety, bloating and/or epigastric pain, which are presumed to originate in the gastroduodenal tract. While the international recommendations in the Rome IV consensus require endoscopy to rule out an organic condition before establishing a diagnosis of FD, international guidelines recommend that, in the absence of risk factors, patient management be initiated at the primary care level by establishing Helicobacter pylori infection status, with eradication when positive, followed by empiric therapy with proton pump inhibitors and/or prokinetics, and that endoscopy be reserved for patients refractory to said measures. Second-line therapy includes neuromodulating agents, among which tricyclic antidepressants and atypical antipsychotics such as levosulpiride stand out.
