The influence of a coffee-antazid-mixture was investigated at 30 patients with diseases of the stomach (17 with duodenal ulcer, 6 with gastric ulcer and 7 with chronic gastritis) in comparison to a commercial coffee. The parameters measured were the gastric basal acid output, the continuous registration of the pH by an intragastric electrode and the serum gastrin concentration before and after the application of the tests substances. 75% of the patients with duodenal ulcer showed a positive effect by means of a greater elevation of the intragastric pH after application of the mixture in comparison to coffee. The effect was strongly correlated to the basal acid ouptput. In the group with gastric ulcer and that with duodenal ulcer under the influence of the mixture the pH after the initial rise decreased to less deeper values. There was a close relationship to the patterns of gastric ulcer as well with chronic gastritis there was an additional facourable effect on the symptoms of abdominal pain which occured after coffee and not after the mixture. The group with chronic gastritis showed no difference between the pure coffee and the coffee-antacid-mixture. A possible relationship of the products of coffee roasting and the adsorptive properties of the antacid is discussed.

Gastric acid secretion stimulated by a normally eaten beefsteak meal was measured for 4 h in 16 patients with duodenal ulcer disease (DU), in 9 patients with gastric ulcer disease (GU), and in 14 controls by intragastric titration with bicarbonate to a constant pH 5.5. Reproducibility of the method investigated in 6 DU and in 5 controls gave similar acid secretory values (var. coeff. = 7.5%). DU produced acid on a higher level and with longer duration after food than controls and GU (p less than 0.001). Apart from the second half of the first hour after food, when the acid secretion was higher in controls than in GU (p less than 0.025), there was no significant difference in acid output after food between GU and controls. Maximum gastrin values and 'total gastrin output' after food were significantly higher in GU than in controls, but these differences were not significant between GU and DU and between DU and controls. Fasting gastrin and gastrin levels after food were not correlated to basal acid output or acid output after pentagastrin or food in any of the groups. The maximal acid output after food was higher than the peak acid output after pentagastrin in controls, DU and GU. The relation between food- and pentagastrin-stimulated acid output was not statistically significantly different between the three groups. Instead, acid secretion after food was well correlated to acid secretion after pentagastrin in controls, DU and GU (r = 0.85).

The distributions of acid alpha1-glycoprotein, alpha1-fetoprotein, beta-galactosidase and gastrin in gastric carcinoma and gastric ulcer as well as in the neighbourhood of these lesions were studied by means of immunohistochemical methods on imprint preparation. We could not find significant differences between gastric carcinoma and the nonneoplastic lesions, except for the acid alpha1-glycoprotein. The results of this first study indicate that the immunochemical and immunohistological assay of acid alpha1-glycoprotein might be of practical value in diagnosing malignant changes of gastric mucosa.

The effect of Mucaine and Aludrox on basal and food stimulated immunoreactive gastrin has been assessed in normal control subjects and patients with duodenal or gastric ulcer. No differences in gastrin responses were observed either in the basal period or after the protein meal with the two antacids. As previously described, release of gastrin was greatest in gastric ulcer patients but in contrast to previous results,normal subjects seemed to show a greater response than duodenal ulcer patients but this was not statistically significant. Thus the combination of a local anaesthetic oxethazaine with aluminium hydroxide gel does not lead to diminished gastrin release and is not the prime mechanism of action of this agent.

The effect of a single dose of 400 mg of the H2-receptor antagonist cimetidine on protein meal stimulated immunoreactive gastrin was assessed in ten patients with gastric ulcer and ten patients with duodenal ulcer. In gastric ulcer patients, serum gastrin (mean +/- SE) rose from 34 +/- 2.2 pmol.l-1 to a peak of 80 +/- 5.0 pmol.l-1 at 45 minutes without and from 36 +/- 2.2 to 107 +/- 8.0 pmol.l-1 at 60 minutes with cimetidine; in duodenal ulcer it rose from 26 +/- 3.0 to 47 +/- 5.1 pmol.l-1 at 45 minutes without and 26 +/- 3.2 to 52 +/- 5.1 pmol.l-1 at 60 minutes with cimetidine. Integrated gastrin responses in gastric ulcer were 4900 +/- 800 pmol.l-1 120 minutes without and 7000 +/- 900 pmol.l-1 120 minutes with cimetidine and 1560 +/- 300 pmol.l-1 120 minutes without and 2620 +/- 400 pmol.l-1 120 minutes with cimetidine in duodenal ulcer patients. These gastrin increases after cimetidine are comparable to those achieved with continuous intragastric neutralisation with alkali.

The stimulating effect of AOC-tetragastrin, caerulein, Histalog and secretin on human gastric acid and pepsin secretion was studied in gastric ulcer patients. The pattern of gastric acid and pepsin secretion after the administration of caerulein was closely resembled to that of gastrin. Slight increase of pepsin secretion after gastrin or caerulein could be based on "wash-out" action caused by the increase of acid secretion after the stimulants. Stimulating effect on gastric pepsin secretion of histalog and secretin would be independent of gastric acid secretion.

The effect of carbenoxolone on the healing of gastric ulcer and erosions was compared with that of placebo. The series consisted of 20 patients with chronic gastric ulcers and 20 patients with superficial erosions of the stomach. The diagnosis as well as the follow-up of the lesions were based on gastroscopic examinations. The ulcers were measured gastroscopically. A double-blind method was used. Besides carbenoxolone 50 mg or placebo three times daily, all the patients received antacids in fixed dosage for six weeks. Subjective symptoms and cardiovascular side-effects were recorded. Maximal acid output and serum gastrin levels were measured before and after the treatment. No difference was seen between carbenoxolone and placebo groups with regard to the healing rate of the ulcers of disappearance of the erosions. The subjective symptoms subsided significantly faster in the treatment groups than in the control groups. No cardiovascular side-effects were evident during the treatment with carbenoxolone. One patient needed potassium supplements. Carbenoxolone had no effect on the pentagastrin-stimulated gastric acid secretion nor on the serum gastrin values.

Measurements of serum cortisol and gastrin along with gastric acid-pepsin secretion in the resting state were carried out in gastric and duodenal ulcer patients. Increased basal corticosteroid concentrations were observed in patients with duodenal ulcer and gastric ulcer. Higher concentrations of the hormone were observed in the former group (P less than 0.05 for the latter). Fasting gastrin levels were significantly higher in gastric ulcer patients where gastric secretion is low than those in duodenal ulcer patients (P less than 0.001). These results suggest that the effect of adrenal cortical hormone on lowering the threshold of oxyntic gland cell reactivity against gastrin is an important factor in duodenal ulcer etiology. Extra-antral control mechanism(s) of gastric acid-pepsin secretion should not be overlooked.

Eleven male and five female gastric ulcer outpatients as well as twenty eight male and seven female duodenal ulcer outpatients received Proglumide (1200 mg/day) or magnesiumtrisilicate (1320 mg/day) in a prospective double blind study. The sizes of the ulcers were assessed by endoscopy before and after 4 weeks therapy. A complete healing of gastric ulcers was observed in 75% (n = 8) of the patients receiving Proglumide and 25% (n = 8) of the antacid treated controls (p less than 0.05; x2 test). The healed area was significantly (p less than 0.05) larger in the Proglumide 91 mm2) than in the anticida group (23 mm2). In addition, the half time of the ulcer-healing was significantly (p less than 0.05) shorter in the Proglumide treated patients (18 days and 26 days respectively). There was no significant effect of the drug on the duodenal ulcers. The spontaneous healing rate was 61% in the antacid (n = 18) and 59% in the Proglumide treated (n = 17) patients. The drug does not effect the basal and pentagastrin stimulated gastric secretion nor the serum gastrin concentration. No side effects on blood pressure, blood cell count, transaminases or blood glucose concentrations could be observed.

A rare case of the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome associated with hyperparathyroidism and ectopic gastric tissue in the lower esophageal mucosa is reported. Preoperatively the patient, a 53-year-old woman, had hyperchlorhydria and her fasting serum gastrin concentration was mildly elevated. There was a considerable increase in the gastric acid output and concentration of serum calcium after secretin infusion. At operation the patient had a gastric ulcer 10 cm in diameter, an islet cell tumour of the pancreas 14 cm in diameter, and ectopic gastric mucosa in the distal third of the esophagus. A gastrectomy was perfomed, the pancreatic tumour excised and part of the distal esophagus removed through a left thoracotomy. Four months after the operation the gastrin concentration had returned to low normal, but the serum calcium values remained high. One month later two parathyroid adenomas were removed which effectively cured the hypercalcemia.
