Distribution of G-Cells in the Gastric Mucosa in Peptic Ulcer

The distribution of G cells in mucosa of the resected stomachs from patients with peptic ulcer was investigated using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunohistochemical method. Moreover, the specimens were stained additionally with hematoxylin and eosin to determine the condition of background gastric mucosa. G cells were present chiefly in the glandular cervix of the pyloric gland area. They were also seen in the intermediate area and, although small in number, in the area adjoining the f-line. The number of G cells per unit area in DU was three times higher than that in GU. The significant inverse relation was found between G cell density and the degree of intestinal metaplasia. And in each case, mean values of uG were estimated for unit areas on the greater and lesser curvature lines as well as the unit areas on the mid-line of the anterior and posterior walls. The G cell density was higher on the greater curvature and in the posterior wall than the other

A Case of Colonic Metastasis of Breast Cancer Positive for Estrogen Receptor

This is the first report of a metastatic colon cancer of breast cancer positive for estrogen receptor. A 56-year-old woman who had undergone standard radical mastectomy due to right breast cancer was suffered from left lower abdominal pain. Barium enema and proctoscopy revealed a narrowing at the rectum and the descending colon. Needle biopsy of the rectum revealed Group 5. The resection of the left colon, the rectum and the ovaries were performed. Foci were macroscopically present at the rectum, the sigmoid colon and the descending colon. Histological examination revealed that colonic foci were metastases from the breast cancer of lobular carcinoma. The colonic preparation was positive for estrogen receptor
