Résumé
This paper presents 231 cases of carcinoma in the region of the gastric cardia.In 96 of the cases-gastrectomy specimens were obtained,and for the remaining cases biopsy specimens were taken through gastroscopy.The study of cancerous cells in their developing stages in the tissues taken from the neighborhood of the tumours revealed that there were 4 types of histogenesis of gastric-cardia carcinoma:1.cancerous degeneration of cells at the glandular necks in the gastric foveolae;2.cancerous degeneration of a single cell or a few cells of the glandular epithelium;3.dysplasia of the epithelium with-malignant change;4.intestinal metaplasia of the epithelium with cancerous change.It is suggested that dysplasia of the epithelium and intestinal metaplasia of the epithelium accompanied by dysplasia are significant precancerous changes.
Résumé
Twelve methods of histochemical staining of mucins were compared,and improvemen ts in staining technic was made. Appropriate sodium meta-bisulfite was added to the ineffective Schiff's reagent to recover its staining property. The concentration of alcian blue was decreased from 1 % to 0.5%. Neutral red as the contrast stain was replaced by VG. The result of this study showed that this series of staining technics was simple to carry out, low cost, more specific, and suitable for any pathology department to use for detection of mucin in biopsy specimens of gastric mucosa.
