metaplasia/phosphatase

The relationship between cell proliferation and enzyme activity in intestinal metaplasia of the human stomach was studied using a combined method of [3H]thymidine autoradiography and alkaline phosphatase histochemistry on the same section. Three types of intestinal metaplasia were observed depending

Intestinal metaplasia and carcinoma of the stomach were produced in Wistar strain rats by oral administration of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). Alkaline phosphatase (AlP) isoenzymes of tissues from intestinal metaplastic mucosa and carcinoma of the stomach were studied. The ALP

The enzymological and immunological properties of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) isoenzymes in intestinal metaplasia and gastric carcinoma tissues were compared with those of purified human intestinal, placental, and hepatic ALP's to speculate the gene expression of gastric cancer cells. The results

Alkaline phosphatase in the brush border of areas of intestinal metaplasia of human stomach was studied cytochemically. All absorptive cells in the upper part of the villi of the duodenum had strong alkaline phosphatase activity but, in areas of intestinal metaplasia, the metaplastic glands

To investigate the relationship of intestinal metaplasia of the stomach and gastric carcinoma, isoenzymatic analysis of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) of the intestinal metaplasia was studied. Purified human intestinal ALP, and anti-human intestinal ALP antibody were used, and mucosa ALP of the other

Biopsy specimens from duodenal mucosa in 34 patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms and endoscopically abnormal mucosa (including duodenitis, active duodenal ulcer, and healed duodenal ulcer) and in 9 patients with histologically normal mucosa were examined histologically for gastric

Studies were done to test the neutrophil alkaline phosphatase (NAP) synthesizing capacity of the neutrophils of patients with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and of patients with stable-phase myeloid metaplasia (MM) and to test the NAP synthesis-inducing capacity of monocytes (Mos) of

We report two cases of Paneth cell-like metaplasia of the prostate gland, one in poorly differentiated carcinoma and the second in benign hyperplasia. By light microscopy, the Paneth-like cells were indistinguishable from Paneth cells found in the normal small intestine and ultrastructurally showed

A newborn infant presented with hepatosplenomegaly, rash, anemia, and leukocytosis at one day of age and manifested characteristic myeloid metaplasia by one mouth of life. Vitamin B12 and leukocyte alkaline phosphatase were elevated and platelet aggregation was impaired. Myelofibrosis was not

The prostate gland normally secretes neutral mucosubstances that can be detected within the lumina of acini and ducts; adenocarcinomas often produce both acidic and neutral mucins, a feature that has been suggested to be of some diagnostic use. The presence of mucin-filled cells is not, however, a
