Acute effects of antacids on gastric juice components in duodenal ulcer patients

European Journal of Clinical Investigation

Abstract

In 10 duodenal ulcer patients gastric juice was aspirated every 10 min for 20 min before and 200 min after sham feeding. One antacid tablet or placebo was given 80 min after the sham feeding. Analyses of the aspirates showed that antacids reduced mean hydrogen ion activity and pepsin concentration significantly for 40 and 60 min, respectively, and increased phospholipid concentration for 30 min, compared with placebo. Highest mean pH was 2.52. The percentage of pH readings at or above pH levels of 2, 3, and 4 during the 2 h period following antacid administration was 29, 10, and 2%, respectively. No significant differences between antacid and placebo were found regarding intragastric concentrations of bile acids and prostaglandin E2. When one antacid tablet was administered 80 min after a real meal, the effect on intragastric pH was similarly weak, but lasted slightly longer. Acid neutralization' alone can hardly explain the ulcer-healing effect of low-dose antacids. Antacid-induced increase in intragastric concentration of phospholipids is a new and potentially important observation.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
