1. The operative technique and the postoperative results of the original pylorus-preserving gastrectomy (PPG) and those of the Maki procedure as applied to cases of total gastrectomy are reported briefly. 2. The essence of these operations is to retain the pyloric cuff of 1.0-1.5 cm in length in order to preserve sphincteric function without the use of the drainage procedure. Ingested food was seen to empty gradually and rhythmically through the pyloric ring into the duodenum thereby avoiding dumping syndrome and reflux esophagitis. 3. As gastric acidity is reduced sufficiently by PPG, this method is to be recommended for treatment of intractable gastric ulcer cases and other benign lesions in which the foci are located in the distal half of the stomach. Though the method seems to be also useful in selected cases of duodenal ulcer, stenosis at the level of the pylorus and duodenum may preclude the application of the method. 4. The Maki procedure with jejunal interposition following nearly-total proximal gastrectomy is recommended in patients whose pylorus and its surroundings have remained free of tumor.

The submucosal heterotopic gastric glands were found in 160 cases (10.7%) of 1500 resected stomachs; 15% in gastric ulcer, 9.9% in gastric carcinoma, 4% in duodenal ulcer and 11% in chronic gastritis. The heterotopic glands were usually found in the distal half of the stomach, diffusely or localized. Macroscopic submucosal tumor was found in 9 (5%) of 160 cases. Although the heterotopic glands were found with an intimate relation to the repeated mucosal damage and subsequent intestinal metaplasia, they had no specific relation to gastric carcinogenesis.

A description of malignant carcinoid of alveolartrabecular structure developing in the edge of chronic progressive gastric ulcer is presented. Granules detectable by argirophilic method of Grimelius, toluidine blue after acid hydrolysis, and lead hemotoxylin were found in the cytoplasm of tumor cells. Changes in the epithelium of the type of cancer in situ as well as marked hyperplasia of argirophilic cells were observed in gastric mucosa in the edges of the ulcer. Although this observation may be interpreted as a peculiar variant of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, it is more likely that this is a malignized chronic ulcer with carcinoid differentiation of the tumor tissue.

Gastric juice was neutralized (nGJ) in vivo by 80 ml of a phosphate buffer containing radiolabelled vitamin B12 as dilution indicator. Unprocessed nGJ was analyzed in the double gel diffusion technique for the presence of serum proteins using monospecific antisera. Alpha1-Acid glycoprotein (AGP) was found in a high incidence (36 out of 38 subjects) in nGJ of gastric cancer patients. AGP was also observed less frequently in nGJ of patients with Billroth II resections (6/15), metaplasia (11/52), gastric ulcer (3/24), chronic atrophic gastritis (2/26) and chronic gastritis (3/63). AGP was absent in the control group (0/21), in patients with surface gastritis (0/38) and in subjects with normal acid secretion (0/45). Immunochemical studies demonstrated no identity of AGP with human "gastrointestinal tumor associated antigens." In 7 out of 17 AGP positive samples immunochemical differences between gastric and serum AGP were observed.

The radiographic features of 20 cases of pathologically confirmed heterotopic pancreatic rests involving the stomach were analyzed. Aberrant pancreatic tissue in the stomach produces a broader spectrum of radiographic findings than had been thought. The mass produced by the aberrant tissue is often larger and more sessile than usually anticipated, and may simulate a mural neoplasm or adenomatous polyp. While most cases occur in the distal antrum or prepyloric area, some occur in the more proximal portion of the antrum. Less than half of the cases in this series included the finding of a small central niche. When a niche was present, it was often large in relation to the mass, and simulated a gastric ulcer or ulcerating neoplasm.

Submucosal lymphangiomas of the gastrointestinal tract are extremely rare entities. A case of a lymphangioma of the duodenum in a 66-year-old woman is reported. Diagnosis was made by endoscopy and tumor excision with a diathermy snare. The patient complained of crampy upper abdominal pain which only partially was referable to an gastric ulcer and stopped after polypectomy. Endoscopically, compressibility of the tumor is a characteristic sign. Roentgenographically, it may be easily overlooked.

Uninvolved gastric mucosa from duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer, and gastric cancer patients was incubated with [1-14C]glucose and [6-14C]glucose in order to assess the relative contributions of the pentose phosphate pathway and Krebs cycle to glucose metabolism. [14C]Glucose counts retained by the tissue, glycolysis, and pyruvate formation were also measured. Tumor tissue from the cancer patients was included in the study. Less than 1.2% of the glucose entering the tissues was metabolized via the pentose phosphate pathway; suggesting that this pathway plays a minor role in energy production from glucose. The major determinant of energy production was the Krebs cycle. Its contribution to glucose metabolism was greatest in the body mucosa of duodenal ulcer patients, less in the uninvolved body mucosa of gastric ulcer patients, and lower still in the corresponding body mucosa of gastric cancer patients. The low levels of Krebs cycle activity seen in the latter tissue resembled those of uninvolved antral mucosa. The smallest Krebs cycle contribution was seen in tumor tissue. [14C]Glucose counts retained by the tissue and glycolysis both tended to vary inversely with Krebs cycle activity among the tissues studied. Thus, both were small in the body mucosa of noncancer patients and somewhat larger in the body mucosa of cancer patients, in uninvolved antral mucosa and in tumor tissue.

Sixty patients with advanced gastric cancer were subjected to the macrophage electrophoretic mobility test and delayed hypersensitivity skin test to tumor and normal tissue (gastric mucosa) extracts. Tumor extract induced significant inhibition of macrophage mobility in 51% and positive skin reaction in 32% of examined cases. Close correlation was observed between macrophage inhibition and diameter of skin reaction to tumor extract. Incidence of positive reaction in both tests to normal tissue extract was 55% and 12%, respectively. Significant inhibition of macrophage to tumor extract was also observed in breast cancer, but not in superficial gastric cancer and healthy persons. Normal tissue extract did not induce significant inhibition of macrophage in gastric ulcer. These results suggest that macrophage electrophoretic mobility test indicates a certain aspect of tumor-associated (but not tumor-specific) immunity in cancer patients. Macrophage inhibition appeared to be related with macroscopic tumor types rather than to clinical stages. Positive skin reaction to tumor extract was observed in Stages II, III, and IV of gastric cancer.

The aim of present study was to investigate the effects of some antineoplastic drugs on the healing process of subacute gastric ulcer, produced by punching, in rats. We determined the doses which inhibit the healing rate by 50%. Our results confirm the general observation that present applied anticancer drugs cannot distinguish between normal and tumor cell proliferation. The ID50 values of tested drugs strongly correlate with human doses.

The effectiveness of a fluorescent analysis in the diagnosis of gastric cancer was studied in 280 patients. Fluorescence of a tumor was noted in 87% of cases. Dependence of fluorescence of a tumor on its sizes was revealed: in tumor diameter less than 1 cm, fluorescence was revealed in 94% of cases, more than 4 cm--in 76%. In infiltrative growth, only 74% of tumors were fluorescent. To define the possibility of the use of a fluorescent analysis in the differential diagnosis of gastric diseases, 490 patients with presumptive diagnosis of chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer disease, polyposis were examined. In diagnosis of +malignant polyps in 91.5% of cases, results of the fluorescent analysis concurred with the findings of histologic study. Probability of establishing the correct diagnosis by the data of fluorescent analysis in ulcer disease is equal to 87.5%, in chronic gastritis--86%.
