Abstract
BACKGROUND Few previous articles have analyzed the relation between infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and primary gastric lymphoma in a large number of patients. METHODS Resected and biopsied specimens from 237 patients with primary gastric lymphoma were investigated for H. pylori using hematoxylin and eosin stain, modified Giemsa stain, and immunohistochemistry. These specimens were compared with specimens from 29 patients with chronic active gastritis, 33 with peptic ulcers, and 41 with gastric carcinoma. RESULTS H. pylori was detected in 145 of 237 patients (61%) with gastric lymphoma. The frequency of H. pylori positivity was higher in patients with lymphoma restricted to the mucosa and submucosa (76%) than in those with lymphoma invading beyond the submucosa (48%) (P < 0.001), and was also higher in patients with low grade mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (72%) than in those with high grade tumors (55%) (P < 0.05). The frequency of H. pylori positivity in patients with lymphoma was lower than in those with chronic active gastritis (100%) (P < 0.001) or peptic ulcer (91%) (P < 0.05). In patients with lymphoma restricted to the mucosa and the superficial portion of the submucosa, the frequency of H. pylori positivity (90%) was as high as that observed in patients with chronic active gastritis and peptic ulcer. The H. pylori grading score for patients with lymphoma (0.9 +/- 1.0) was lower than for those with chronic active gastritis (1.9 +/- 0.8) (P < 0.001), peptic ulcers (2.2 +/- 1.0) (P < 0.001), or gastric carcinoma (1.2 +/- 1.1) (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that H. pylori is more likely to be associated with early states of primary gastric lymphoma than with advanced states. Thus, H. pylori may disappear during the progression of primary gastric lymphoma.

Abstract
Six patients with histologically proven intestinal lymphangiectasia were evaluated for the endoscopic features. White villi and/or spots, previously reported as endoscopic findings, were seen. Furthermore, white nodules and submucosal elevations with or without white mucosa were observed. All patients demonstrated the appearance of submucosal elevations. The four characteristic endoscopic features were correlated with histological findings. It is considered that these endoscopic features are of value for the diagnosis of intestinal lymphangiectasia in patients with protein-losing enteropathy.

Abstract
Recently, the expression of vimentin has been reported in some carcinomas. This study was designed to clarify the significance of vimentin expression in solid type poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas of the stomach. Immunohistochemically, 239 poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas with solid components of the stomach were stained for vimentin. Vimentin-positive cases were also stained by CAM 5.2 using serial mirror sections. We found 15(6.3%) vimentin-positive cases. Twelve of them demonstrated varying amounts of rhabdoid-like cells. Eight cases diffusely co-expressed vimentin and cytokeratin simultaneously. In addition, four co-expressing cases showed positive staining with Keratin-903 which recognizes the high molecular-weight cytokeratin. Most of the co-expressing cases showed a diffuse proliferation of polygonal tumour cells with focal cell-to-cell contact. The prognosis of the co-expressing cases was poor in comparison with that of the 89 vimentin-negative tumours (P < 0.05).

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of p53 in tumor progression of colorectal adenomas and early carcinomas, while especially focusing on flat tumors (depressed adenomas and non-polypoid carcinomas). Paraffin sections of 61 pure adenomas (33 polypoid, 28 depressed), 26 carcinomas in polypoid adenoma (CIA) and 63 pure carcinomas (36 polypoid, 27 non-polypoid) were examined for immunostaining using p53 monoclonal antibody (PAb 1801). All of the carcinomas were restricted to the mucosa. The number and distribution of the p53 positive tumor cells was evaluated, and then compared with tumor growth patterns and histological features. The incidence of p53 expression in carcinomas (58% in CIA and 51% in pure carcinomas) was significantly higher than that in polypoid adenoma (27% in CIA and 21% in pure adenomas). However, the same incidence in depressed adenomas (51%) was significantly higher than in polypoid adenomas. No correlation in carcinomas was observed between p53 expression and clinicopathologic data except for age. The distribution of p53 positive cells was different between adenomas and carcinomas. There tended to be fewer p53 positive cells in adenomas, even in depressed ones, than in carcinomas and they also tended to be confined to the superficial areas in adenomas, while they were diffusely distributed in carcinomas. Interestingly, the p53 positive cells were more frequently present in the deep mucosal areas than in the superficial areas of some non-polypoid carcinomas. In conclusion, the following hypotheses are suggested: (i) the increase of p53 expression from adenoma to carcinoma supports the hypothesis of an adenoma-carcinoma sequence in a polypoid tumor; (ii) the unique p53 expression in non-polypoid carcinoma suggests the existence of another type of carcinogenesis; and (iii) depressed adenomas are thus considered to have a high potential risk of carcinoma.

Abstract
Experiments were carried out in 10-11-week old gonadectomized male and female Sprague-Dawley rats. Dot-blot analysis and 3'-end digoxigenin-labeled 26 meroligonucleotide probe was used in detecting the mRNA level hypothalamic vasopressin (AVP). The basal hypothalamic AVP-mRNA level in the sham-operated intact males was 45% higher than that in the sham-operated intact females (P < 0.05). Plasma osmolality was also higher in the sham-operated intact males than in the sham-operated intact females (P < 0.05). The hypothalamic AVP-mRNA level in ovariectomized rats was 30% higher than that in sham-operated intact females (P < 0.05). Although the hypothalamic AVP mRNA level tended to be lower in castrated males than in sham-operated intact males, the difference was not statistically significant. The difference in plasma osmolality between gonadectomized males and females was statistically insignificant. In castrated males, hypothalamic AVP-mRNA level was decreased following sc injection of estradiol (P < 0.05), but testosterone, progesterone or a combination of estradiol and progesterone were without effect. In ovariectomized rats, sc injection of estradiol or a combination of estradiol and progesterone resulted in a decrease in hypothalamic AVP-mRNA level (P < 0.01), but progesterone or testosterone had no effect. The difference in plasma osmolality between gonadal steriod hormones-treated rats and vehicle-treated rats was not statistically significant. These findings indicate that gonadal steriod hormones can affect hypothalamic AVP-mRNA level in rats, through some central mechanism.

Abstract
Colorectal cancers (CRCs) differ in their age at presentation, distribution, histological features, and prognosis. If tumor biology reflects genetic events, these tumors might be expected to show differences in their genetic pathways. In this study, we investigated the role of Bcl-2 in the development of three different tumor groups. Using markers at eight different microsatellite locl, we characterized one group of 34 left-sided sporadic CRCs as replication error negative (RER-) and another group of 18 left-sided sporadic CRCs as replication error positive (RER+). These tumors, together with a third group of 22 left-sided ulcerative-colitis-associated CRCs (UCACRCs), were then examined by immunohistochemistry for Bcl-2 overexpression. Of 34 of the RER- tumors, 21 (62%) and 10 of 18 (56%) of the RER+ tumors were positive for Bcl-2 overexpression. In contrast, only 5 of 22 (23%) of the UCACRCs showed similar overexpression. Our results show a significantly lower frequency of Bcl-2 overexpression in UCACRCs as compared with sporadic CRCs (P < 0.005) but no difference between sporadic left-sided RER+ and RER- CRCs. These data provide additional evidence that UCACRCs may develop along a pathway that is different from that of sporadic CRCs.

Abstract
In both human and animal studies high progesterone states are associated with elevated aldosterone production but variable changes in PRA. These experiments were designed to test the hypothesis that progesterone has an effect similar to a low sodium diet on the glomerulosa cell: increasing aldosterone synthase messenger RNA activity and aldosterone production. Ovariectomized (OVX) rats were injected with progesterone (1 mg/100 g) or vehicle (SHAM) for 5 days. In a separate study, intact rats were placed on a low (0.02%) or high (1.6%) sodium diet for 5 days. On the day of death, rats were decapitated and blood collected for serum hormone determinations. Isolated adrenal glomerulosa cells were incubated +/- 10 nM angiotensin II (A II), after which aldosterone and corticosterone were measured. Early (conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone) and late (conversion of corticosterone to aldosterone) aldosterone pathway activity was assessed in parallel incubates by adding cyanoketone and excess corticosterone with subsequent measurement of pregnenolone and aldosterone. In vivo, progesterone administration, like dietary sodium restriction, caused a significant increase in PRA (p < or = 0.043) and plasma aldosterone (p < or = 0.009), with no change in plasma corticosterone. Additionally, both treatments caused a significant increase in baseline (P < or = 0.01) and A II-stimulated (p < or = 0.027) aldosterone secretion in vitro. This increased responsiveness was secondary to activation of late pathway activity (p < or = 0.022) as determined by both an increased conversion of corticosterone to aldosterone and by an increase in messenger RNA levels of the late pathway enzyme aldosterone synthase. Thus, chronic progesterone administration apparently does not directly influence aldosterone secretion, but rather acts indirectly to increase aldosterone by mechanisms similar to sodium restriction.

Abstract
We investigated immunostained macrophages in the noninflamed mucosa of Crohn's disease patients. Biopsied specimens from endoscopically normal gastroduodenal mucosa of Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and healthy control patients were studied. Sections were examined immunohistochemically using a monoclonal antibody specific for tissue macrophages (CD68). Immunostained mucosal macrophages in the second part of the duodenum, duodenal bulb, gastric antrum, and gastric body of the Crohn's disease group were more numerous than in the ulcerative colitis and control groups. The characteristic findings of Crohn's disease were aggregations, focal subepithelial dense accumulations, and infiltration throughout the mucosa of macrophages not accompanied by a lymphoid infiltrate. The number of macrophages in the gastroduodenal mucosa bore no relationship with the duration of symptoms, clinical activity, or affected site in the intestine. This suggests that the increased number of macrophages in noninflamed mucosa is a histological change characteristic for Crohn's disease that indicates a persistent latent abnormality involving the entire gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral sulindac is known to reduce polyps in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). The authors speculated that rectal administration of indomethacin would be effective therapy for adenomas in the rectal remnant of FAP. METHODS Eight patients with FAP who had been treated by total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis were administered an indomethacin suppository (50 mg) once or twice daily during a period of 4 or 8 weeks. The number of polyps at the same site within the rectum was counted under proctoscopy prior to, at the end of, and after the treatment. In four patients, proliferative activity of the rectal mucosa was assessed by immunohistochemical staining for MIB-1. RESULTS In six of the eight patients who initially had ten or more polyps, the number of polyps decreased to fewer than five, whereas such a decrease could not be observed in the remaining two patients. In the six patients, the number of polyps increased after indomethacin was discontinued. The proliferative activity of the rectal mucosa was higher at the end of treatment than it was prior to indomethacin administration. CONCLUSIONS Indomethacin suppositories may be effective in the management of rectal adenomatosis in patients with FAP.

Abstract
This report describes a case of right-sided ulcerative colitis in which multiple shallow ulcers and erosion with symmetric luminal stenosis were distributed segmentally from the ascending colon to the cecum, with a skip lesion composed of superficial erosions in the right half of the transverse colon. Both the rectum and the left colon were spared at the time of onset. Biopsies taken from the lesions showed non-specific inflammation, while those from the rectum and sigmoid colon showed no abnormal findings. A 5-year follow-up study was made based on radiography and endoscopy. Other inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn's disease, tuberculosis, Yersinosis, Behçet's disease, and ischemic colitis were all ruled out, based on the macroscopic and microscopic findings as well as the clinical course. To our knowledge, this is the first report of right-sided ulcerative colitis that has been followed for a long period.

Abstract
PURPOSE To characterize the growth and developmental changes of superficial depressed colon cancer by using retrospective radiographic and histologic data. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a retrospective study, the radiographs in patients with nine superficial depressed and those with 12 elevated (sessile or semipedunculated) colon cancers were analyzed. RESULTS The initial superficial depressed lesions were 11.7 mm (mean) in diameter and took an average of 32.3 months to double in size. The initial elevated lesions were 15.7 mm (mean) in diameter and took an average of 8.6 months to double in size. The initial size of the former was not statistically significantly different from that of the latter; however, the doubling time of the superficial depressed cancers was statistically significantly slower than that of the elevated cancers. Superficial depressed cancers did not have concomitant adenomatous components, did not develop rapidly into advanced cancer, and did not change greatly from their original configuration; their growth rate was rather slow. Histologically, superficial depressed cancers showed a nonpolypoid growth pattern. CONCLUSION Superficial depressed cancer develops more slowly than does elevated cancer, and this development follows a nonpolypoid growth pattern.

Abstract
Three-dimensional-CT pancreatography (3D-CTP) under balloon-ERP was carried out in 13 patients with the pancreatic diseases. Tapering stenosis of pancreatic duct in 2 patients out of 2 with pancreatic cancer, shape of cyst and relationship between cyst and pancreatic duct in 7 patients out of 7 with pancreatic cysts, and irregularity of wall of pancreatic duct in 2 patients out of 3 with chronic pancreatitis was reconstructed by 3D-CTP, stereographically. Moreover, the confluence of cyst and pancreatic duct in 3 out of 7 pancreatic cysts did not become clear on balloon-ERP, but it was distinct on 3D-CTP. It is suggested that 3D-CTP is useful in understanding pancreatic diseases stereographically, and can be applied to operative simulation, interventional radiology and differential diagnosis on them.

Abstract
Angiodysplasia of the small intestine is a rare but important cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. We present a 64-year-old man with repeated melena in whom the diagnosis of multiple angiodysplasia of the jejunum was suggested by angiography. The affected segment of the small intestine, in which reddish patches were detected by intraoperative endoscopy, was removed. The combined technique of injecting a dye and a water-soluble contrast medium into the resected specimen revealed areas of dilated vessels, which were diagnosed histologically as angiodysplasia. This case suggests that angiodysplasia of the small intestine can be recognized clinically before the operation and that the intravascular injection technique is useful in confirming the diagnosis in the resected specimen in vitro. We describe this case in detail and review other cases of small intestinal angiodysplasia reported in the English literature.

Abstract
Twenty-one lesions from 19 patients with chronic irradiation enteritis (CIE) were examined to elucidate correlations with the histological findings and either the elapsed time interval or the macroscopic features. The lesions were divided into the early CIE group (E group; the lesions resected within 2 years after irradiation) of 10 lesions and the late CIE group (L group; the lesions resected more than 8 years after irradiation) of 11 lesions. Based on the macroscopic features, the lesions of CIE were divided into three types: ulcerative stricture type (U type; 11 lesions), serosal adhesion type (A type; 6 lesions) and wall sclerosing type (S type; 4 lesions). Only A type lesions were observed in the E group, and U type lesions were significantly more frequently encountered in the L group (9 of 11; 82%) than in the E group (2 of 10; 20%). Moderately to markedly degenerated changes of the vessel wall (8 of 11; 73%), enteritis cystica profunda (8 of 11; 73%), atypical epithelia (7 of 11; 64%), and the occurrence of fistula (2 of 11; 18%) were all significantly more frequently present in the L group than in the E group. No radiation-induced colorectal carcinomas were observed. The authors thus conclude that CIE is a slowly progressive disease. The late CIE showed macroscopically ulcerative stricture type properties with tissue degradation, such as fistulas, perforation, and dysplastic epithelia compared with early CIE; thus, long-standing CIE should be followed for the early identification of further complications. The classification of CIE based on macroscopic features is, therefore, considered to be useful to understand the clinical course of this disease better.

Abstract
A case of a 20 year old Japanese woman who developed thyroid cancer exhibiting unusual cribriform structures while being followed up for familial adenomatous polyposis/Gardner's syndrome is reported. The patient presented with osteomas, pigmented retinal lesions, and adenomas of the duodenum and the papilla of Vater, in addition to numerous adenomatous polyps in the colorectum. On ultrasonography, the thyroid cancer was localised to the right lobe and was identified as an irregular, internal echo tumour with a peripheral hypoechoic zone, measuring 1.8 cm in diameter. Histological examination of the resected tumour showed a concomitance of papillary proliferation and cribriform structures with follicles of varying sizes. These features can be distinguished from sporadic thyroid cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few articles have analyzed the prognostic data from a large series of primary gastric lymphoma classified according to the concept of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). METHODS The resected specimens from 233 patients with primary gastric lymphoma were investigated retrospectively, including immunostaining with MIB-1 (Ki-67). RESULTS Histologically, 70 (30%) of the cases were low grade B-cell lymphoma of MALT, 27 (12%) low grade B-cell lymphoma of MALT with a focal high grade component, 100 (43%) high grade B-cell lymphoma of MALT, 15 (6%) other B-cell lymphomas, 14 (6%) T-cell lymphomas, and 7 (3%) undetermined. Macroscopically, 96 (41%) were superficial-spreading type, 100 (43%) mass-forming, 14 (6%) diffuse-infiltrating, and 23 (10%) unclassified. The MIB-1 index correlated with phenotype, histologic grade, stage, depth of invasion, and macroscopic type. A significantly better survival was noted for young patients, and those with tumors of a B-cell phenotype, histologic low grade, macroscopic superficial-spreading type, low stage, low depth of invasion, and low MIB-1 index. No significantly different survival rates were found between the patients who underwent gastric resection alone and those who also received additional chemotherapy. By Cox multivariate analysis, independent prognosticators included B-cell phenotype, low stage, and macroscopic superficial-spreading type. CONCLUSIONS In addition to stage, phenotype and macroscopic type are also important prognostic indicators of primary gastric lymphoma. Immunostaining with MIB-1 had limited independent value for predicting prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To set forth the methods of diagnosis and treatment of nephrotic syndrome during pregnancy (NSP) so as to decrease perinatal mortality. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty cases of NSP including 5 twins in Tianjin Central Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology in the past 13 years have been reviewed, and the diagnosis and treatment were compared between group A (1979-1990, 23 cases) and group B (1991-1992, 17 cases). RESULTS NSP occurred before the 20th gestational week in 15% of cases and the patient's condition was serious. Clinically, NSP was classified into three types: simple, nephritis and pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) type. The perinatal maternal and fetal prognosis was poor. Complications occurred in 27.5% of patients. One patient died from eclampsia and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). The total perinatal mortality was 42.22%, with group A (27 babies including 4 twins), 51.86% (14/27), and group B (18 babies including 1 twin), 27.78% (5/18) (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS NSP is a result of reproductive immunology and belongs to type III allergic reaction in terms of immunology. Early diagnosis, early treatment and timely termination of pregnancy may improve the outcome.
