Helicobacter pylori was shown to induce ulcers when a research scientist actually drank a bit of the pure culture he had made. What is the most likely mechanism of this pathology? a. the chronic exposure to the organisms focuses the immune system on the infected area of the epithelium causing repeated damage, which results in an ulcer lesion. b. helicobacter sometimes interrupts the digestion of certain foods, especially spicy ones. c. the lining of the stomach and proximal duodenum and susceptible to ulceration due to constant stress or eating too quickly in some people. d. some people do not have enough probiotics in their diet. QUESTION 41 The development of gastrointestinal tumors is known to occur in many people with chronic inflammatory diseases in their digestive systems. Which is the best explanation for this disease process? a. some organisms are difficult to defeat, and the constant presence of anti-apoptotic cytokines render the cells resistant to immune clearance or create potential proto-tumor cells. b. the constant exposure of cells to free-radicals and highly oxidative states causes dna damage which eventually overcomes the ability of cells to repair themselves. c. the methylation status of many important anti-cancer genes can be altered due to chronic inflammation. d. every statement above is true.

A 60-year-old man comes to the physician because of a 6-month history of light-headedness, numbness and paresthesias of his hands and feet, and fatigue. Physical examination shows pallor and decreased positional and vibration senses. Laboratory studies show: Hemoglobin: 9 g/dl Hematocrit: 27% Mean corpuscular volume: 102 μm3 Serum Gastrin: markedly increased Intraluminal stomach acid: markedly decreased The most likely cause of this patient's symptoms is destruction of which of the following areas in the normal stomach mucosa?

Chronic infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori is linked to stomach cancer. The bacterium secretes toxins which cause inflammation in the stomach lining. High salt diets, such as those in Japan and China, enhance the ability of H. pylori to successfully infect the stomach lining. In the initiator-promoter model of tumorigenesis... a. Both the high salt diet and the H. pylori infection are initiators. b. The high salt diet is the initiator, and the H. pylori infection is the promoter. c. The high salt diet is the promoter, and the H. pylori infection is the initiator. d. Both the high salt diet and the H. pylori infection are promoters.
