Background: It is generally accepted that gastric carcinomas are preceded by a sequential multistage process that includes chronic gastritis, gastric atrophy, usually with intestinal metaplasia (IM), and dysplasia. This series of changes in gastric carcinogenesis is often initiated by Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) infection. The aim of the present study was determination of gastric histopathologic changes in IM patients after at least one year in Guilan province, Iran. Materials and Methods: This case-series study was conducted in Guilan Gastrointestinal and Liver Disease Research Center (GLDRC) during 2010 to 2011. Gastric biopsy was performed for all 71 known cases of IM and precanceric lesions including gastric atrophy, IM, dysplasia and H pylori infection were determined after at least one year. Results: Of the total of 71 patients with established IM who were enrolled, 50 had complete-type IM and 21 had incomplete-type IM. Fifty two people had H pylori infection. H pylori eradication was achieved in 39 patients (75%). Secondary pathology findings of patients with IM were complete metaplasia (39.4%), incomplete metaplasia (32.4%), dysplasia (23.9%) and other precanceric lesions (4.2%). Dysplasia (20%vs 33%) occurred in patients who had complete and incomplete IM at baseline respectively (p>0.05). Age, gender, family history of gastric cancer(GC); smoking habits and NSAIDs use were not associated with gastric premalignant lesions in initial and secondary pathologies (p>0.05). The difference became statistically significant between H pylori infection in patients with more than 3 years diagnostic intervals (p<0.05). Statistical difference between eradicators and non-eradicators was not significant. Conclusions: We found that incomplete IM increased the risk of subsequent dysplasia in this study.

Successful regeneration of a cartilage framework using perichondrium has been reported by several authors but there are some arguments surrounding mucosal regeneration. Some authors report that regeneration of mucosa is completed by ingrowth from neighboring tissue but others insist that it occurs via metaplasia from the squamous epithelium. This study was designed to investigate the differences, especially in mucosal regeneration between nonvascularized and vascularized flaps via immunohistochemical study. A morphologic study was carried out to elucidate the characteristics o( the regenerated mucosa which was sutured on the vascularized perichondrium and fabricated in a rabbit ear. A nonvascularized perichondrial-mucosal composite flap with the same dimension was transferred in the control group. BrdU was labelled on both normal mucosa and grafted mucosa in the experimental group without my statistically significant differences. In cytokeratin stain, it was regarded that mucosal coverage of the control group occurred by ingrowth from the neighboring mucosa. It can be conceived that metaplasia of the grafted mucosa occurs in a vascularized composite flap transferred group.

This study was performed to evaluate tannin exposure by wooddusts for workers in furniture factories and to investigate the relationship between tannin exposure and sino-nasal cancer risk. In order to explore possible cytological changes leading to nasal cancer, we have examined 50 male furniture workers and 50 matched controls using brush cytology. The results we have obtained in this study were as follows: 1. The tannin contents of woods used in woodworking factories have been measured and varied from 0.43 to 8.72 mg tannic acid equivalent per gram wood, for reconstituted softwood and turpentine (Syncarpia glomuliferia) respectively. 2. Airborne tannins in wooddusts were also determined by area and personal exposure. The values of mean exposures for both methods are ranged from 3.1 to $5.0{\mu}g/m^3$ and from 4.6 to $14.5{\mu}g/m^3$ in furniture manufactures. 3. Over nasal cytology scores 2, the scores of study group were slightly more than control group and this kind of metaplasias seemed to be occurred over $2mg/m^3$ wooddust and $6{\mu}g/m^3$ tannin exposure. Keratinising squamous metaplasia was investigated at nasal cytology score 3 and $10{\mu}g/m^3$ tannin exposure. The nasal cytology score 4 was seemed to be atypical squamous metaplasia. 4. To find out contributing factors to nasal cytology change, odds ratio that is one of fundmental biostatistics was applied. Actually the relationship between wooddust, tannin concentration and metaplasia were not meaningful, but the relationship between working experence more than 15 years and metaplasia was calculated as 1.83. This reveals that significant clinical abnormalities could be influenced from the years of woodworking experiences. However further research is required to evaluate the significance of the data, for the purposes of sino-nasal risk assessment, standard setting to prevent nasal cancer occurrences and possibility of changing workplace.

Two Whooper swan (Cygnus cygnus) died after suffering from pododermatitis, lethargy, and ataxia; necropsy was performed. Grossly, the liver was swollen and firm. The kidney and spleen were also enlarged and a pale tan color. On histopathologic examination with Congo red staining, amyloidosis was noted in liver, spleen, and kidney. In addition, marked osseous metaplasia was present in the liver. Based on these results, systemic amyloidosis involving liver, spleen, and kidney with osseous metaplasia in the liver was diagnosed. Study results indicate that an inflammatory reaction associated with pododermatitis had a role in the amyloidosis in this particular case.

Objectives: The purpose of this research is to investigate recent clinical studies of Intestinal Metaplasia (IM) based on a search of the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). Methods: We investigated recent clinical studies of Oriental medicine therapies in traditional Chinese medical journals for IM through a CNKI search. 20 clinical articles published from 2010 to 2016 were analyzed. This study examined the authors, publication years, types of studies, criteria for diagnosis and evaluation, periods, purposes of study and articles classified by methods of treatment. Results: Most of articles were classified as randomized controlled trial. IM was diagnosed using gastroscopy, pathological examination and clinical symptoms in a high proportion of articles. The criteria for evaluation most frequently used were the effective ratios of clinical symptoms, gastroscopy and pathological tests. The methods of treatment in all studies were Chinese herb medicine. Acupuncture, acupoint injection therapy, and embedding therapy were also used in several studies. Conclusion: In this study, the Chinese treatment for IM was markedly effective. To improve the treatment of IM in Korea, many clinical studies and case reports are required, based on Chinese medicine.

목적: H. pylori에 대해서는 최근 많은 연구가 진행되어 성인과 소아에서 위염과 강한 관련성이 있으며 위 점막은 물론 십이지장 점막에서 위 상피화생이 발생하면 미란과 궤양이 발생할 수 있는 것으로 보고되어 왔다. 그러나 소아에서의 H. pylori 감염과 관련된 십이지장의 조직병리학적 소견에 대한 연구는 아직까지 미미한 실정이므로 본 연구에서는 H. pylori에 감염된 소아에서 십이지장염, 십이지장 궤양 및 위 상피화생에 대한 관계를 규명해보고자 하였다. 방법: 2001년 10월부터 2004년 4월까지 가천의대 길병원 소아과에 내원하여 위 전정부와 위 체부 및 십이지장 점막에서 생검을 동시에 시행한 177명의 환아를 대상으로 H. pylori 감염 여부 및 병리학적 소견을 전향적 방법으로 조사 분석하였다. H. pylori 양성은 조직의 Giemsa stain에서 H. pylori가 발견되었을 때와 H. pylori IgG, urease breath test (UBT), rapid urease test (CLO) 중 2가지 이상에서 양성일 때로 정의하였다. 십이지장염은 hematoxylin 및 eosin 염색에서 간질의 세포 침윤 정도에 따라 제 0도에서 제 3도까지로 분류하였으며, 위 상피화생은 제 0도에서 제 4도까지로 구별하였다. 통계적 분석은 컴퓨터 프로그램 SAS (version 8.1)를 이용하였다. 결과: 1) 대상 환아 177명 중 H. pylori 양성 반응을 보인 환아는 97명(54%)으로 남녀 비는 1.36 : 1이었으며, 평균 나이는 9.66세였다. 2) 십이지장염은 163명에서 확인되었는데 94명에서 제 1도 소견을 보였고 이 중 H. pylori 감염은 47명이었다. 제 2도는 62명으로 이 중 H. pylori 감염은 36명이었으며, 제 3도는 7명으로 이 중 H. pylori 감염은 4명이었다. H. pylori 감염과 십이지장염 간에는 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. 3) 십이지장 궤양은 11명으로 평균 나이는 7.18세였으며 남녀 비는 4.5 : 1이었다. 이 중 H. pylori 감염 양성은 4명, H. pylori 감염 음성은 7명이었으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이점을 보이지 않았다. 4) 위 상피화생은 전체 환자 중 5명으로 이 중 H. pylori 양성은 2명이었으며 십이지장 궤양은 3명이었는데, 십이지장 궤양과 H. pylori 양성이 동반된 경우는 1명이었다. H. pylori 감염과 위 상피화생 발생간에는 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 그러나 십이지장 궤양이 있는 군에서 위 상피화생의 발생률이 더 높았다(p=0.032). 5) 십이지장 궤양은 십이지장염 제 1도 94명 중 1명, 제 2도 62명 중 5명, 제 3도 7명 중 5명에서 각각 발생하여 십이장염의 정도가 증가할수록 십이지장 궤양의 발생이 증가하였다(p<0.0001). 6) 위 상피화생은 십이지장염 제 1도 94명 중 2명, 제 2도 62명 중 1명, 제 3도 7명 중 2명에서 각각 발생하여 십이지장염이 심할수록 위 상피화생의 발생이 증가하였다(p=0.0365). 결론: 기존의 문헌들에서와 달리 본 연구에서는 H. pylori 감염과 십이지장염, H. pylori 감염과 십이지장 궤양 및 H. pylori 감염과 위 상피화생 간에는 연관성이 없었으며, 십이지장염과 십이지장 궤양 간에는 연관성이 있었다. 그러나 위 상피화생과 십이지장 궤양 및 십이지장염과 위 상피화생 간에는 기존의 보고들처럼 연관성이 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Genetic instability contributes to the development and progression of gastric cancer, one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. Microsatellite instability (MSI) has been hypothesized to be involved in carcinogenesis, althgough its mechanisms and exact roles in gastric cancer remain largely unknown. Our aim was to identify associated clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic value of MSI in gastric cancer and precancerous lesions including gastritis, metaplasia, dysplasia, and adenoma. Because mitochondrial DNA has a different genetic system from nuclear DNA, the results of both nuclear MSI and mitochondrial MSI in gastric cancer were reviewed. This review provides evidence that genetic instability of nuclear and mitochondrial DNAs contributes to early stages of gastric carcinogenesis and suggests possible roles in predicting prognosis.

Basal cell tumors from 53 dogs were examined histologically and classified as basal cell adenoma(n=44), granular basal cell adenoma(n=1), basal cell carcinoma(n=3), basosquamous cell adenoma(n=1), basosquamous carcinoma(n=4) on the basis of malignancy and squamous metaplasia. Female was twenty three and male was thirty. Affected dogs are usually 5.6 years and sex predilection have not been seen. None of tumor examined was metastasized into other organs. Distinct patterns identified in the basal cell adenoma are solid(n=15), cystic(n=13), adenoid(n=8), medusa(n=5) and ribbon(n=3). Solid basal cell adenoma is common type in benign basal cell adenoma. Only one neoplasm was granular basal cell adenoma which was characterized by eccentric nucleus and abundant granular cytoplasm. Basal cell carcinoma showed anaplastic appearance histologically and had atypical basaloid epithelial cells and multinucleated giant cells with moderate number of mitotic figures. Both basosquamous cell adenoma and carcinoma had squamous metaplasia.
