Слайд 1Peptic Ulcer Diseases: Treatment
Prepared by:
Dr. Ahmed Y. Mayet
Слайд 2Introduction
Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is a common disorder that
affects millions of individuals worldwide
It is accounting for roughly
10% of medical costs for digestive diseases
Слайд 3Introduction
Major advances have been made in the understanding PUD
pathophysiology, particularly the role of Helicobacter pylori infection & NSAIDs
This
has led to important changes in diagnostic & treatment strategies, with potential for improving clinical outcome & decreasing health care costs
NSAIDs= nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
Слайд 4Definitions
Ulcer:
A lesion on an epithelial surface (skin or mucous membrane)
caused by superficial loss of tissue
Erosion:
A lesion on an epithelial
surface (skin or mucous membrane) caused by superficial loss of tissue, limited to the mucosa
Слайд 5Definitions
Peptic Ulcer
An ulcer of the alimentary tract mucosa, usually in
the stomach or duodenum, & rarely in the lower esophagus,
where the mucosa is exposed to the acid gastric secretion
It has to be deep enough to penetrate the muscularis mucosa
Слайд 7Gastric Mucosa & Secretions
The inside of the stomach is bathed
in about 2 liters of gastric juice every day
Gastric juice
is composed of digestive enzymes & concentrated hydrochloric acid, which can readily tear apart the toughest food or microorganism
The gastroduodenal mucosal integrity is determined by protective (defensive) & damaging (aggressive) factors
Слайд 8Gastric Mucosa & Secretions
The Defensive Forces
Bicarbonate
Mucus layer
Mucosal blood flow
Prostaglandins
Growth
factors
The Aggressive Forces
Helicobacter pylori
HCl acid
Pepsins
NSAIDs
Bile acids
Ischemia and hypoxia.
Smoking and
alcohol
When the aggressive factors increase or the defensive factors decrease, mucosal damage will result, leading to erosions & ulcerations

Слайд 10Pathophysiology
A peptic ulcer is a mucosal break, 3 mm or
greater in size with depth, that can involve mainly the
stomach or duodenum.
Слайд 11Pathophysiology
Two major variants in peptic ulcers are commonly encountered in
the clinical practice:
Duodenal Ulcer (DU)
Gastric Ulcer (GU)
Слайд 12Pathophysiology
DU result from increased acid load to the duodenum due
to:
Increased acid secretion because of:
Increased parietal cell mass
Increased gastrin
secretion (e.g. Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, alcohol & spicy food)
Decreased inhibition of acid secretion, possibly by H. pylori damaging somatostatin-producing cells in the antrum
Слайд 13Pathophysiology
DU result from increased acid load to the duodenum due
to:
Smoking impairing gastric mucosal healing
Genetic susceptibility may play a role
(more in blood gp. O)
HCO3 secretion is decreased in the duodenum by H. pylori inflammation
Слайд 14Pathophysiology
GU results from the break down of gastric mucosa:
Associated with
gastritis affecting the body & the antrum
The local epithelial damage
occurs because of cytokines released from H. pylori & because of abnormal mucus production
Parietal cell damage occur so that acid production is normal or low
Слайд 15Etiology
The two most common causes of PUD are:
Helicobacter pylori
infection ( 70-80%)
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS)
Слайд 16Etiology
Other uncommon causes include:
Gastrinoma (Gastrin secreting tumor)
Stress ulceration (trauma, burns,
critical illness)
Viral infections
Vascular insufficiency
Слайд 171. Etiology – Helicobacter pylori
Слайд 18H.pylori Epidemiology
One half of world’s population has H.pylori infection, with
an estimated prevalence of 80-90 % in the developing world
The annual incidence of new H. pylori infections in industrialized countries is 0.5% of the susceptible population compared with ≥ 3% in developing countries
Слайд 19H.pylori as a cause of PUD
The majority of
PUD patients are H. pylori
infected
Слайд 20H.pylori as a cause of PUD
95%
85%
Слайд 21Pathogenesis of H. pylori infection
H. pylori is Gram-negative, spiral
& has multiple flagella at one end
Transmitted from person-to-person by
Oro–oral or feco-oral spread
No reservoir in animal or water supply
Слайд 22Pathogenesis of H. pylori infection
The Flagellae make it motile, allowing
it to live deep beneath the mucus layer
It uses an
adhesin molecule to bind to epithelial cells Where the pH there is close to neutral
Слайд 23Pathogenesis of H. pylori infection
Any acidity is buffered by the
organism's production of the enzyme urease, which catalyzes the production
of ammonia (NH3) from urea & raises the pH there
The bacterium stimulates chronic gastritis by provoking a local inflammatory response.
Слайд 24Pathogenesis of H. pylori infection
In the cellular level:
H. pylori express
cagA & vacA genes
cagA gene signals to the
epithelial cells involving: - Cell replication, - Apoptosis, & - Morphology
Слайд 25Pathogenesis of H. pylori infection
In the cellular level:
vacA gene
producing a pore-forming protein,
which has many destructing effect to the epithelium like: -↑Cell permeability & efflux of micronutrients, - Induction of apoptosis, & - Suppression of local cell immunity
Слайд 26Pathogenesis of H. pylori infection
- ↓ Somatostatin production from antral
D-cells due to antral gastritis
Low somatostatin will ↑Gastrin release
from G-cell hypergastrinemia
This will stimulate acid production by the parietal cells leading to further duodenal ulceration.

Epidemiologic evidence suggests that infection with
HP is associated with >2 fold increase risk of gastric
cancer
However due to uncertainty regarding the benefit of HP eradication on reducing cancer risk, wide-spread screening for HP in asymptomatic individuals cannot be recommended at this time
Слайд 29For persons at high risk for gastric cancer (e.g., first
degree relatives) screening can be considered on a case by
case basis
ABLES A Z et al. American Family Physician. 2007
Слайд 302. Etiology -Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS)
Слайд 31NSAIDS
Symptomatic GI ulceration occurs in 2% - 4% of patients
treated with NSAIDs for 1 year
In view of the million
of people who take NSAIDs annually, these small percentages translate into a large number of symptomatic ulcers
The effects of aspirin & NSAIDs on the gastric mucosa ranges from mucosal hemorrhages to erosions & acute ulcers
Слайд 32NSAIDS
Inhibits the production of prostaglandins precursor from membrane fatty acids
resulting in:
1. Decrease mucus & HCO3 production
2. Decrease
mucosal blood flow
3. Reduce cell renewal
The drugs also generate oxygen-free radicals & products of the lipoxygenase pathway that may contribute to ulceration
Слайд 33NSAIDS
Gastric acid probably aggravates NSAID-induce mucosal injury by
-
Converting superficial injury to deeper mucosal necrosis,
- Interfering with
haemostasis & platelet aggregation
- Impairing ulcer healing
Слайд 34NSAIDS
Users of NSAIDs are at approximately 3 times greater relative
risk of serious adverse gastrointestinal events than nonusers
Слайд 35NSAIDS
Identify risk factors:
Age > 65 years (3.5-fold
increased risk)
Smoking
Previous history of GI event (e.g.
ulcer bleeding 4-fold increase risk)
Concomitant drug use
Anticoagulants ( eg, warfarin; 3-fold increase)
Corticosteroid ( 2-fold increase)
Low dose aspirin alone ( 2.5-fold increase)
Aspirin + NSAIDS (4-fold increase vs aspirin alone)
Слайд 37
Does H. pylori Influence the Ulcer Risk in NSAID Users?
Слайд 38Does H. pylori Influence the Ulcer Risk in NSAID Users?
Many
investigators had attempted to address this question using case-control or
observational studies
To date, there are studies showing that the interaction between H. pylori and NSAIDs in ulcer development is synergistic, additive, independent or antagonistic
Слайд 39Does H. pylori Influence the Ulcer Risk in NSAID Users?
These
conflicting results can be largely accounted for by methodological heterogeneity
and diversified host response to H. pylori infection.
Слайд 40Recommendations for H.pylori Testing & Eradication in NSAID Users
1- Patients
who have a history of ulcer complication should undergo H.
pylori testing. H. pylori should be eradicated in all infected patients because it is not plausible to determine whether the ulcer complications were caused by NSAIDs or both
Слайд 41Recommendations for H.pylori Testing & Eradication in NSAID Users
3- Patients
who are about to start receiving NSAIDs, H. pylori testing
& treatment reduces the ulcer risk at an affordable incremental cost
4- Since treatment with PPIs aggravate H. pylori corpus gastritis, it is advisable to test for H. pylori & eradicate if present before starting long term therapy with PPI as prophylaxis against NSAID-induced ulcers

Rapid urease test ( RUT)
Considered the
endoscopic diagnostic test of choice
Gastric biopsy specimens are placed in
the rapid urease test kit. If H pylori are present, bacterial urease converts urea to ammonia, which changes pH and produces a COLOR change

Слайд 60Testing to Document HP Eradication
Since treatment is not effective is
some cases (> 20%), individuals at high risk for HP-associated
complications (e.g., prior bleeding ulcer) should undergo confirmatory testing with either
- Stool antigen test or
- Urea breath test to confirm HP cure
(Serology has no role in confirmatory testing)
Слайд 61Testing to Document HP Eradication
Should be confirmed after end of
therapy; noninvasive testing with UBT is preferred, 4-8 weeks after
completion of therapy
If ulcer recurs after eradication therapy, a more careful search for reinfection or eradication failure should be carried out by testing for presence of active infection (e.g. by histologic examination & culture, together with antibiotic-sensitivity test)
Слайд 62Diagnosis of H. pylori in patients with bleeding PU
It is
limited by the decreased sensitivity of standard invasive tests; usually,
both the RUT & histologic testing should be performed & then combined with the UBT test
Infection should be considered as present when any test is positive, whereas both the invasive tests & the breath test should be negative to establish the absence of infection

Слайд 67General Strategy
Treat complications aggressively if present
Determine the etiology of

Discontinue NSAID use if possible
Eradicate H. pylori infection if present
or strongly suspected, even if other risk factors (e.g., NSAID use) are also present;
Use antisecretory therapy to heal the ulcer if H. pylori infection is not present
Слайд 68General Strategy
Smoking cessation should be encouraged
If DU is diagnosed
by endoscopy, RU testing of endoscopically obtained gastric biopsy sample,
with or without histologic examination should establish presence or absence of H. pylori
If DU is diagnosed by x-ray , then a serologic , UBT, or fecal antigen test to diagnose H. pylori infection is recommended before treating the patient for H. pylori

Слайд 71Management of NSAIDs Ulcers
This can be considered under two headings:
The healing of an ulcer that has developed during NSAID
or COX-2 inhibitor treatment; &
Strategies for preventing NSAID ulcers in patients who currently are ulcer free
Слайд 72Healing the Established NSAIDs-Associated Ulcer
If possible, NSAID should be stopped,
as healing with a histamine H2-receptor antagonist (H2-RA) will be
faster than if the NSAID is continued
PPI have been shown in 3 randomized controlled trials to be more effective than ranitidine or misoprostol for healing NSAID ulcers when the NSAID is continued
Слайд 73Best Prevention & Treatment for Upper GI Lesions Induced by
NSAIDs
There is conclusive evidence that PPIs decrease the incidence of
ulcers & erosions, & heal them when they have occurred, even when NSAIDs administration is continued
Mearin & Ponce. Drugs, 2005
Слайд 74The Astronaut Study
Ranitidine 150 mg twice daily Vs. Omeprazole 20
or 40 mg daily
Gastroduodenal ulcer healing rates at 8weeks
Ranitidine 87% & Omeprazole 20 mg 71%
Слайд 75Are Better Results Obtained if Additional Inhibition of Gastric Acid
Secretion is Achieved?
The healing rate of H.pylori eradication, peptic
ulcer healing, or the extent of mucosal damage induced by NSAIDs are clearly related to the acid inhibition level achieved with the corresponding treatment
Слайд 76Reducing Risk of NSAIDs Ulcers by Choice of Agent
Choose, where
possible, an NSAID from the less damaging end of the
spectrum,
Use it in the lowest dose that is effective
Слайд 77Reducing Risk of NSAIDs Ulcers by Choice of Agent
Use highly
selective COX-2 inhibitors (whether to use them instead of a
largely non-selective NSAID such as diclofenac or ibuprofen requires judgments about cost vs. benefit for the individual patient
Слайд 78Reducing Risk of NSAIDs Ulcers by Choice of Agent
In low-risk
patients such as young - middle age individuals without past
history of ulcer & with no hazard-increasing cotherapies (e.g warfarin or steroids), the risk of using a non-selective NSAID is very small
Слайд 79Preventing NSAIDs Ulcers with Co-Prescribed Gastric Protectants
Patients who continue to
require NSAIDs should receive either a PPI or misoprostol to
prevent ulcer recurrence

Слайд 81 Peptic Ulcer Disease - Treatment
Слайд 82Degree of Acid Inhibition to Heal an Ulcer
It has been
reported that a sustained increase in pH > 3 would
be sufficient to heal an ulcer
However, one of the risk factors for refractory gastric ulcer appears to be the impossibility of maintaining gastric pH > 4 for a minimum daily period of 16 hr
Mearin & Ponce. Drugs, 2005
Слайд 83The Purpose of Inhibiting Gastric Acid Secretion in cases of
Upper GI Bleeding
In upper GI bleeding, the aim is to
achieve the least acid gastric pH possible in order to prevent acid degradation of the clot & accelerate healing as much as possible
Both clinical & experimental studies suggest that extremely potent inhibition is required to achieve the intended efficacy
Mearin & Ponce. Drugs, 2005
Слайд 84The Ideal Drug to Achieve Potent Acid inhibition
Ideal drug should
be able to maintain pH > 4 for ≥ 16
hr/day
Such level guarantee a consistent response to treatment, & sufficient for most refractory cases of peptic acid disease
Efficacy of the drug would also have to be consistent, so that such potent acid inhibition levels might be achieved in all patients, regardless of their basal acid secretion, metabolic capacity, or the presence or absence of H. pylori infection
Mearin & Ponce. Drugs, 2005
Слайд 85Drugs Therapy for Treatment of PUD
1- H2-Receptors Antagonists
These agents are
capable of 90% reduction in basal & food-stimulated secretion of
gastric acid after single dose. they are somewhat less effective in reducing nocturnal secretion

be constipating, Magnesium hydroxide may produce diarrhea so, they used
in combination
Calcium-carbonate containing antacids work rapidly & very effective but large dose may cause calciuria

6- Antibiotics for H. Pylori
Eradication
H. pylori eradication significantly reduce the risk of ulcer
recurrence & re-bleeding & less expensive than chronic antisecretory therapy
Continuing antisecretory therapy for > 2 weeks following antibiotic treatment is unnecessary after H.pylori eradication

Слайд 121To Select Therapy for H. pylori Eradication
Duration of treatment
& adverse effects should be
considered
Слайд 122Duration of H. Pylori Eradication Therapy
Until recently, the recommended
duration of therapy for H.pylori eradication was 10 -14 days
There
are number of recent studies evaluated one-, five-, & seven-day regimens
Although not proven, potential benefits of shorter regimens include better compliance, fewer adverse drug effects, & reduced cost to the patient
ABLES A Z et al. American Family Physician. 2007
Слайд 123Adverse Effects
The most commonly reported adverse events were nausea,
vomiting, & diarrhea
A bitter or metallic taste in the
mouth is associated with eradication regimens containing clarithromycin
Bismuth subsalicylate may cause a temporary grayish-black discoloration of the stool

Слайд 128Resistance
Resistant H. pylori has been documented in cases of
failed eradication therapy based on biopsy & culture results &
is of great concern in patients at high risk for complications of H.pylori infection
ABLES A Z et al. American Family Physician. 2007
Слайд 129Resistance
Resistance rate to clarithromycin is currently 2-30% & to
metronidazole 15-66%
Primary resistance to clarithromycin is a strong predictive risk
factor for treatment failure, whereas primary resistance to metronidazole does not always lead to treatment failure
ABLES A Z et al. American Family Physician. 2007
Слайд 130Resistance
70 % of patients failing one or more regimens
responded well to triple-drug therapy that included:
Pantoprazole, amoxicillin, & levofloxacin for 10 days
ABLES A Z et al. American Family Physician. 2007
Слайд 131Resistance
A meta-analysis of current literature on treatment of resistant
H. pylori showed benefit in using quadruple drug therapy, including:
Clarithromycin
+ ranitidine + bismuth + amoxicillin (1 g twice daily) therapy, as well as a combination of
PPIs (standard dosage for 10 days) + bismuth + metronidazole + tetracycline
ABLES A Z et al. American Family Physician. 2007
Слайд 132Recurrence
Recurrence of H. pylori infection is defined by:
A positive result on urea breath or stool antigen
testing six or more months after documented successful
ABLES A Z et al. American Family Physician. 2007
Слайд 133Recurrence
Risk factors for recurrence include:
Non-ulcer dyspepsia
Persistence of chronic gastritis
after eradication therapy
Female gender
Intellectual disability
Younger age
High rates of primary infection
Higher
urea breath test values
ABLES A Z et al. American Family Physician. 2007
Слайд 134Recurrence
Recurrence rates worldwide vary but lower in developed countries
In
the primary care setting, physicians may choose to treat recurrences
with an alternative eradication regimen, depending on symptoms & risk factors for complications of infection
It is too early to know whether shorter courses of eradication therapy will be associated with a higher resistance rate
